I don’t think it’s correct technically. Unless a kidnap victim is also a “migrant”.

I concur with everything, and would add, it is within a 6 hour drive of: Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Detroit, Canada.

They are migrants in the same way someone kidnapped as a child and held against their will and force to work is a migrant.

I actually don’t think they are competent enough to pull that off. The Nazis had years of experience in street fighting by that time and the benefit of not having phones and cameras everywhere.

Ditto!

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.

Welcome to the Commonwealth! I live in Lexington as well, and it’s a much, much better city than it was 10-15 years ago. But Louisville is a real treasure. I’m a huge fan of Bardstown Road. And if any act you like announces a date at the Louisville Palace theater, don’t hesitate and buy a ticket. My favorite…

I’m finding David Frum and Jennifer Rubin have become must reads for me. I don’t know but I find it soothing that people whose views I disagree with do happen to agree that the president of the United States is a fucking lunatic.

Do they still call that church “Six Flags Over Jesus”?

Yep. We just had the firewall of a Democratic House until last fall.

It’s denial. We are watching the rapid shift from a liberal democracy into a white nationalist Christianist dictatorship. Look, I’m no genius, but I’ve known from the start what this thing was, and have been trying to convince my friends and family who all think I’m crazy.

PS I’m totally on your side, just past my limits today on coffee and bullshit news...

There is a former Kentucky state senator who comments on the Lexington paper’s articles online. In defending Trump’s travel ban, he literally invoked the internment of Japanese Americans in WWII as something to be proud of.

No, I totally get what you mean. And you are correct, if we were living in a rational universe.

Louisville is an awesome city, I just despair at the thought our horrible legislature will ruin that.

This is not shortsightedness. This is a deliberate attempt to re-segregate Louisville. Their preferred end state would be a whites only city. They will settle for a white dominated society.

He’s using the Turkey playbook. There won’t actually be a coup, so they have to make one up to justify the deep Erdogan-inspired purges of the federal government.

We really, really need the ACLU to kick his ass on this one.

You are right. Total Milton situation. Hope nobody takes his Coach K stapler or the Bristol campus may burn.

Strongmen and battlebots would win me over bigly.
