Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence,” said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

Todd Blanche quite obviously lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he told them this was dead. It was never dead. It was just on hold until he was confirmed.

Can someone explain how Axios could publish this and not note that DOJ has lost 18 of these cases and not won a single one? 0-18 is smart brevity.

If anyone is hiking around Idaho and sees Fred Ramsdell also hiking somewhere in Idaho, you might want to let him know he's won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and he should call the committee back.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Drugs are not weapons of war. They are drugs. The president’s word on who is or is not a drug dealer is not trustworthy. He and his administration have been caught lying about that multiple times. Even if blowing up random boats were legal under the laws of armed combat, it’d be stupid strategy.
