Here’s the most recent map (to my knowledge) of Russian bombing targets in Syria. Anyone notice anything odd?

Got it. I didn’t know. Will dismiss.
She’s an experienced prosecutor and this is how you lead a hostile witness. It’s not showboating, it’s doing your due diligence on a committee when someone is clearly bullshitting you.
The reason for hostility towards Trump voters is not because we don’t understand them, it’s because we do.
Here’s one very small part of the thing: Middle America isn’t a small town in downstate Illinois, it’s suburban Chicago. The New York Times in particular has anxiety about being in the bubble of moneyed Manhattan and sends unqualified journalists to do pop-anthropology in North Dakota but doesn’t send anybody to tell…
I thought that this morning – when I saw some Republican on Faux Noise screaming for “civility” – meanwhile, nobody Republican has bothered to ask about how either of the Capitol Police are doing who saved Scalise’s life, and if you Google it, they are also trying to blame the shooting on the New York Times having…
Judging by her t-shirt she’s an Eagles fan, too. Christ. I liked it better when we were known for hucking battery-filled snowballs at Santa Claus or some shit.
If David Duke wholeheartedly and gleefully endorses a politician, I think it’s safe to say where that politician stands on race relations. There’s a reason openly white supremacist places like Stormfront and 4chan, who up until last year didn’t much care for any politicians, became rabid Trump supporters.
If only the victims of Dylan Roof’s Charleston church massacre had forgiven him before he started shooting, he might have miraculously become a more tolerant, understanding person. Oh, well, it is now up to black athletes to shake hands with Donald Trump, the guy who, during the campaign, said tolerant and…
Plenty of columns out there suggesting anti-Trump folks need to be more civil and understand why his voters feel the way they do. Oddly, not nearly as many columns telling Trump voters to be more civil and understand why everyone else feels the way they do. How strange.
I’m still stunned that she wrote this seriously. And then the tweet exchange with Jones himself. The...fucking irony. It’s all too much.
People like her, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker are like chambermaids in the halls of power. They tidy up the place to make it look presentable, and the delusional among them think they actually live there.
We’re probably being a little unfair to Sally here. The Civil War probably could’ve been avoided if Lincoln had just reached out and invited the Charleston Slave-Traders to the White House to come celebrate their victory in the Palmetto League of American Cricket and Roundrunning Championship series. And if Jesse…
Exactly, because the call for such nonsense is the way the caller says ‘This makes me uncomfortable because I might have to see things from another perspective, and I don’t want to deal with it.’
When I hear “civility” (similar to when I heard “bipartisanship” in the 90s), I just know that some privileged dickweed is going to be taunting an already-beaten-down adversary.
Christine Flowers is still this week’s leader for “Did You Actually Put That in Print Where Other People Could See It?,” but a strong effort by Sally Jenkins here.
“Hey, Mr. Mandela, what your country needs right now is to come together, and shake hands as friends. Also, stop wanting things to be different. Just shut up and take what you get.”—Jenkins, had she been writing in the 1980s.
Nor will there be diving.
Paying more taxes doesn’t help the economy. But assuming you buy into the logic of “the government will fix it”, historically, the Fed almost always drops rates and often congress cuts taxes to increase revenues which stimulates the economy.... If companies were given a chance to repatriate capital w/o penalties, then…
