Opinion | I believed Hillary Clinton was a sex trafficker because one of her donors owned a pizza restaurant and "cheese pizza" has the same initials as "child pornography." Here's why I don't think Donald Trump's multi-decade best friendship with a sex trafficker connects him to sex trafficking.

Got confused earlier when I went to reorder my shelf of Stephen King books and they all fell on my head. Then IT hit me.

Whether it's Democrats nominating Black people to be president or Republicans choosing sex offenders to be Attorney General and Secretary of Defense, both parties have made some controversial nominations.

I used to have a boss who with as much sincerity as he was capable of would say whatever the person with him wanted hear. And if the next person wanted to hear the opposite, they did 🤷

For a democracy to remain functional, political elites—elected officials, judges, political appointees, and bureaucrats—must behave as though (a) they are being watched and (b) if they betray the public trust, they will face negative consequences. Otherwise there is little to prevent outright corruption. If political elites behave as though there is no cost to outright lying or procedural hypocrisy, then preventing the slide into corruption is a Sisyphean task.

The indirect effect of rampant online disinformation and propaganda, then, is that it undermines the myth of the attentive public. If the news is all “fake,” then there is no need to answer reporters’ questions honestly. If the public is made up of easily-duped partisans, then there is no need to take difficult votes. If the public simply doesn’t pay attention to policymaking, then there is no reason to sacrifice short-term partisan gains for the public good.

Here’s what we are reading today: Emergency blackouts were imposed in Kyiv last night as Russia launched 120 missiles and 90 drones all over Ukraine targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure. This is the largest attack since early September. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Tim Walz told Kamala Harris he eats "white guy tacos" and now all the worst white dudes you know are crying that they're victims of Tim Crow.

Crazy that a presidential candidate can just casually let out some blatant anti-white racism and nobody cares. Imagine if Donald Trump said that a "black guy taco" was made with fried chicken and watermelon. Nuclear meltdown.

See, folks, it's funny that white people hate spices! Not racist at all! Just funny!
(FACT CHECK: Europeans liked spices so much that they literally got involved in several hundred years of war in order to determine control of the spice trade.)

I think the main thing that went wrong with the DeSantis campaign is that he’s a bigoted thug with the charisma of a day-old turd who is primarily notable for persecuting children and was trying to win a popularity contest
