I’m sure he did. I did my own share of not necessarily paying too much attention to the governing process because it was running smoothly (a mistake I will never make again if we all get out of this alive) — but it boggles the mind how fast the smuggressives and fauxgressives can minimize and forget even the massive…

The Dems can’t disarm unilaterally, and the Rs will never go along with public funding of campaigns.
I look at Clinton’s platform in 2016:
They always seem to imagine that the closer they edge to Republican policy positions
I wasn’t specifically calling out bigotry (as the Bayonne case would more accurately be described as xenophobia any way), I was specifically calling out idiocy (which the title of the post also specifically referred to, BTW), which the attached Mencken quote was in direct reference to.
Since we are setting up straw men to judge historical figures by modern mores why not go all the way to Lincoln, right?!
The founding fathers actually went to great lengths to try to design a system of government that *wasn’t* all that responsive to whims of uninformed populist mobs. The whole electoral college concept was based on the idea that your average man (which required owning property, because your vocal idiots at the tavern…
I haven’t read a Reich column in years, he’s just the last one I remember enjoying. He is probably super old by now.
Alternately Thiessen is a total hack
Man, Rubin used to be the worst Koch Bros conservative, so yeah, a huge surprise for me as well. And it’s not just some “If only he could be more polite with his racism and sexism” kind of conservative criticism either.
I’m no American hero but it seems that in The Age of Trump—and the age of Journalists Who Fancy Themselves Besieged Heroes—the nation’s most prominent liberal media outlet might want to employ actually good opinion writers, rather than a cast composed *mostly* of tired old hacks.
I’m kinda with you on Frum, but he maintains some very robustly (and I think, incorrect) foreign policy views. But remember, back when he was coming up, what eventually became known as Obamacare was a fairly establishment conservative alternative to a potential single payer system.
This is kind of a pointless exercise if 80% of the jeans listed are various fits of Levi’s. It would be far more constructive to recommend five different brands of jeans and leave the individual style up to the readers. Now that four of the five options are from the same company this is really just asking people which…

You’re right. You should write an article on that.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the real driving force behind the piece is the reporters who had their work spiked by Baquet. I’m guessing that standard operating procedure is to suck it up and move on, but hopefully this is a sign that at least some reporters don’t think business as usual is going to work anymore.
The next time I see Chris Cillizza actually report something will be the first. He’s a professional hot-taker who primarily writes about who “won” any particular political issue and who had the “worst week in Washington”. His contribution to the age of Trump can be best summed up as the guy who used the word…
“I guess I’m one of the mythical “undecided voters,” in that I am undecided as to whether I will vote at all... ...If the Democrats needed my vote I’d cast it, but they don’t, and so I don’t really know why I’d bother...” - Alex Pareene, ladies and gentlemen!
Oh look, the shithead who was too smart to vote yesterday is now pissed off. Fuck you, you self-righteous asshole.
because when you don’t live together, you don’t learn everything about a person. you think you do, but you don’t. You know the face the show to you when you are not together 24/7 sharing a household. There are way to many things to list, but some of the “big picture” ones are:
