THE COCK: 500 Days of Wang

New badminton sub-blog: The Cock.

Lame. There’s no way to tell how fast it’s really going because nobody even knows what a kilometer is.

My friend has been saying this, too. She really doesn’t think we are going to have an election in 2020. At first I thought she was being alarmist (and she would preface this assertion by saying “I hope I’m not being alarmist, but...)

I’ve had this card for years. If you pay by the statement due date, there is no interest.

I respectfully disagree with you. Trump’s psychology is such that he cannot allow himself to lose. It is also an article of faith on the right that the left can only win by cheating. That is all the motivation they need to pass a national, draconian “voter ID law” targeting with precision minorities and poor people.

I’m pretty sure every credit card only starts charging interest once your statement becomes due.

They think all of what Trump is doing is an acceptable price to pay for not having a leader who’s personality they “didn’t like.” Already my…

Our norms are not strong enough to withstand a concentrated assault by two branches of government (and, when Ginsburg leaves the court, all 3).

Reminder: it’s better to exchange your points for a credit toward your credit card balance than it is to shop with points. You get the same dollar value either way, but if you buy something with points, you’re missing out on the 5%.

I agree completely.

Pretty much this. If you’d said to the Founders, “The thing you’re making will last more than two centuries, then some guy you consider three-fifths of a person will get two terms, then everybody who freaked out about that will rally behind a psychotic orange goblin who is basically a figurehead of a foreign power and…

Let’s be real though. Trump’s rise is in large part because the people who voted for him don’t really give a shit about those norms and traditions. That’s in part because they’re fucking idiots and in part because the Establishment he’s positioned himself against for years had a “Oh yeah, we really care about…

Apparently, “did you or your staff collude with Russia to undermine our electoral process” was not a question that warranted follow-up when he decided not to answer. Way to go, media.

The death of American liberalism, in a classical norms-and-institutions sense- the lack of anyone who is both willing and able to advocate clearly and intelligently for classical liberal republican ideals - has to be one of the most remarkable and unremarked trends in American politics. These are and have been…
