I don't find the Schmitt Senate fiasco remotely funny. It's just McCarthyism but more incompetent. It's appalling, & a constitutional order that can't end this level of unserious lying & extremist nonsense isn't worth saving. We need massive institutional reform to make sure it never happens again.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Followed very closely by this disgustingly Andrew-Tate-inflected case of attempted rape:
In December, a call came into Hillsborough’s police station at 2:22 a.m. A woman, who was riding in a Lyft at the time, was on the line. She said she had been trapped at AGI House by a male resident who tried coercing her to have sex.
The man told her that she was old and “would be alone forever,” according to a police report. He was “persistent in attempting to convince” the woman “to have sex with him, and she repeatedly declined,” said the report, which redacted both names.
The woman climbed over a gate and got away unharmed, the report said.

I still think about when Based Mike Lee got really angry when someone interrupted his edgelord comedy act to point out his great-great grandfather was executed by firing squad for his role in a mass murder of non-Mormon settlers in Utah. Turns out there are limits to no-holds-barred comedy!

It continues to be mind-boggling to me that, to first approximation, everyone in positions of power and influence in America are basing their entire worldview on various pieces of popular fiction. And not even like The Wire; instead we get governance via 24, or Terminator, or Harry fucking Potter.

For next time the right wing press or politicians act horrified at some perceived leftist slight against The Troops they're just reminded that, no, we've seen their revealed actual values, they don't actually care; and we move on.
