The Ehrlichism must continue

You are being lied to. And there's only one man who knows the truth. Jim Haggerty returns, only on InfoWars.

Here’s the very simple truth. We should ban all Gerrymandering.

Until then, to unilaterally disarm is political suicide and malpractice.

VA? TL;DR: FAFO

You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse.

You just got outplayed

The GOP entered this redistricting under the rather childish delusion they were going to gerrymander, and nobody would gerrymander them. In TX, MO, and a half dozen other states, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

This grandma is not having any of it

Tomorrow, Virginia votes to restore our Constitutional system of checks and balances. Vote yes, Virginia, and we can start to end the costly chaos in Washington.

For those in Virginia tepid or ambivalent, here’s a clarion and forceful argument to vote “YES” on redistricting tomorrow—from someone who intimately knows the costs and the stakes:

Academia can be a hothouse for grievances, but one might reasonably propose that poisoning your colleagues is arguably taking things a bit too far

Very happy about this, the em-dash became the all-purpose punctuation mark encouraging lazy writing. Also it’s inherently melodramatic, the punctuation equivalent of a silent-film villain’s pencil moustache.

If I could comment on this post I would say: imagine you're writing an email to a friend about what you want to write. Begin writing that email. Within a hundred words or so I guarantee you'll begin noticing phrases, then sentences, then maybe whole paragraphs that are saying what you want.

I mean, maybe? But if Brent Shaw is right, the idea of "planning" maybe needs to be complicated. Do you know his "Did the Romans Have A Future?" and the debates that it spawned? You might find it worth engaging.

Everything else aside, this level of discourse from a world public figure is without equal nowadays.

I’m not saying that getting a PhD in stuff around Augustine is necessary for this lucidity, but I am insinuating that it may be close to sufficient

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

Props to the WSJ, they managed to pack almost every Trump decision-making pathology into a single story. It’s all here:

1) Short attention span

4) Gambling for resurrection
5) Belief in the madman theory

Yeah—now as a parent of older children, I try to stay away from giving advice if I can help but (hard), but I still try to communicate to parents of little ones that I am definitely on their side and on the side of their kids. We are all in this together.
