A ton of damage has already been done, and I don’t know how many people are going to take them seriously.

They’re running against reality.

It’s important for Democrats to hold our own accountable, which it sounds like they’re doing.

Being a politician (and maybe especially a right-wing politician) means never having to justify your claims.

Crepes are better. And crêpes are better still, since you can feel all smug.

If West Virginia Governor Jim Justice is tired of people deriding the state, he could ask its lawmakers to stop doing retrograde shit like this.

Oh fuck this shit. Great way to improve their stats by making survivors less likely to report their rapes.

Holy shit that guy has thin skin.

The Mongols crushed Russia (it wasn’t Russia back then) and held it for something like a century. I agree with the Napoleon part, though, and the Russians eventually won their freedom, so that’s something.

I seriously doubt that I would want someone from the WSJ editorial staff in my house in the first place. So if she wants to help with that, all the better.

I don’t know if this is going to work, but damn it’s inspiring and educational.

The majority of Canadians do not support the convoy (https://westernstandardonline.com/2022/02/poll-shows-canadians-split-over-truckers-protest/). Only 31% support it, and 46% oppose. Making things up doesn’t make them true.

I thought the border crossing requirements were being imposed by the US, no? I can’t imagine Joe Biden is impressed by this. “A bunch of mouth breathers rammed a Mountie? Better let them into the country ASAP!”

That seems like a crucial part of the story to omit.

That’s fair, thanks.

It wasn’t an “inartful tweet”, it was racist. Own it, asshole.
