- The so-called People’s Convoy is emblematic of conservatism: Running around in circles angry about something that doesn’t exist and with no solution to offer.
- People who think Ukraine should be part of Russia because some Ukrainians speak Russian must also assert support for the United States to be reincorporated into the UK under the same logic.
- Texas has historically been Mexican territory longer than it was American or independent. A significant portion of its population speaks Spanish. And they share more cultural features with Chihuahua and Tamaulipas than Maine and Ohio. Tucker Carlson, therefore, should welcome the forthcoming Mexican claiming of the territory without pushback from the other states or the white population of Texas, just like he supports the Russian claim to the Donbas area.
- I find it absolutely amazing that Trump and his ilk thought that rescinding the results of the 2020 election–in late 2021–and holding a new election wouldn’t result in a landslide victory for the Party that didn’t just try to overthrow a legitimate election. They are so delusional they thought undermining the entire democratic system is something Americans would support in the voting booth.
- The Founding Fathers would be very disappointed in Republicans for turning Supreme Court justice nomination hearings into a continuous whine fest. Instead of compromising to govern, they pout. The GOP continues to be a pimple the country sees in the mirror on prom night.
- Republicans don’t care about CRT or “woke”-ness. They just needed new terms to refer to “The Blacks” that don’t resemble their preferred word which starts with “n.”
- I got a confirmation card for Ketanji Brown Jackson to congratulate her on finishing the Senate hearings. Wha–? What do you mean, not that kinda confirmation? I was gonna send her ten bucks.
- Nothing says hypocrisy than Republicans being incensed about Jackson’s imposed sentences on child pornography defendants but dismissive about lawsuits and testimony about Donald Trump’s sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl.
- Ben Shapiro starting a conservative children’s media production company will create a group of spoiled, whiny toddlers who won’t listen to their parents and scream at them, “You’re too woke! I will not eat my vegetables because of my freedom” all the way into their thirties.
- Am I off-base to think Ted Cruz and Ben Sasse brought up KBJ’s sentence of a child pornography collector (which was within guidelines) solely so that Q can link her to the fictional child sex trafficking ring they rant about?
- Senate Judiciary Republicans need to reread the Constitution given that they violated a fair number of laws just in their questioning of Judge Jackson.
- History will note John Roberts’ time as Chief Justice as the end of the Supreme Court’s legitimacy. It’s not necessarily his fault though: that falls on Mitch McConnell.
- I hope that someday, you find someone who looks at you the same way my dog looks at the neighbor dog’s butthole he’s about to sniff.
- The image of an oil-rich country like Russia having scores of tanks and vehicles run out of gas makes me think someone named Ewicimir Trumpski is in charge of the Russian Army’s supply command.
- College homecoming this weekend. I’m really lucky to have continuing friendships with the men and women from that era of my life. They continue to push me to be a better person on a daily basis.
- As a Marylander, crabs are integral to life. Here are lessons to live by: Crab cakes–broiled or fried–are ambrosia, and they can NOT include any blasphemous filler. Maryland crab soup and cream of crab soup are not interchangeable but are both delicious. Don’t go to a crab feast if you want to fill up on crab; it’s the place to go for innumerable cuts on your finger. And if your first act when eating a steamed crab is to whack it with a hammer, you are not welcome in my house.
- Gotta cut this short. I’m teaching a CRT class to preschoolers. Can’t start too early with telling them they’re all racists, right?
