The MAGAts and the Bernie Bros (and Jill Stein because why not) are having a field day on twitter right now; “BidensCognitiveDecline” is trending. Biden got in an argument with an auto plant worker in Detroit today about whether he’s going to take everyone’s guns away. Yes, it could be said that the assault rifle fan…

Large enough be noticed if they were to depart, transfer, and pay tuition to another university?

I was hoping ‘Nero Wolfe’ would get a look in as well. I too thought he’d have been great staying on as Panzer; I can’t really remember the guy who replaced him, but he wasn’t as good. It was such an interesting format, with the same actors turning up week after week but in completely different roles. It really was…

You forgot the prominent and repeated use of the term “appearance of impropriety”, because after all, it’s clearly worse for Democrats to seem corrupt, than for Republicans to be corrupt, under the well-known IOKIYAR principle.

“If we do it both, 100%,” Don Jr. said. “Let’s talk about who profited off of whose public service. Happy to do it. Let’s make it happen.”

I cannot wait for the Bret Stephens and Jennifer Rubin columns in, like, October, where they explain that after much soul searching and hand wringing they feel they just cannot bring themselves to vote for Joe Biden because of the questions relating to Hunter Biden’s activities in Ukraine, because they fear Biden…

My brother and I went into a screening of Dick almost by accident because the movie we wanted to see was full or cancelled or something, and we just picked it at random. Loved it. Couldn’t stop laughing. Rubinek’s brilliant in it. 

Thank you for writing these interviews out again, rather than just using video.

Spatchcocking is great! I’ve never done it with chickens, but I’ve done it with our Thanksgiving turkeys for the past few years and it’s definitely worth the effort. And I imagine it’s been much easier on a chicken, as their bones are smaller.

If Bernie has changed his stance on abortion to appeal to more voters, I don’t mind that. I just wish he would own it. I also wish that he would stop criticizing other politicians who have pivoted to keep up with the times. 

How long ago was it that Bernie supported the candidacy of a pro-life candidate who kissed the ring over a pro-choice democrat?

What an incredibly invasive and creepy thing to ask. Also creepy-the principal claims there were “parents who are proud of the school for taking a stand to ensure prom is an encouraging, wholesome event.” aka parents who were totally fine with their girls being treated like objects that needed monitoring. 

Ah, but you see, those Sanders goons calling Warren a snake only did so because she *checks notes* put together a plan that realistically laid out how to achieve Medicare for All, and as such is a terrible centrist sellout liberal who must be to the right of Joe. Oh, also She’s using a PAC, which means she’s in the…

i dunno, The Root did more to explain the benefits of a Warren presidency than Jezebel ever did. 

The next president will be a man, as the 44 prior presidents have been. I’m still grappling with the fact that we aren’t talking about why.

I don’t want them to be “nicer.” I want them to genuinely RESPECT allies who hold different views of how to execute progressive proposals than them and who’ve had different life experiences.

I really, really don’t think moderates are asking us to dream smaller. The polls show many of them believe in the same things we do.

“Look, I like Warren, but I just don’t think she can beat Trump” was a nonsensical, self-fulfilling caution. We can argue all day long about whether it was misogyny or not that propelled that argument, but, ultimately, there wasn’t any logic to it. She had great plans, backed up her opinions with data, and listened to…

So Bernie seems to have, after four years of having the chance to learn from the errors of 2016 and widen his reach, failed in reaching the very same groups who he failed to reach last time essentially.
