This Trump language to permanently end Iran as a civilization seems to be code words for the employment of nuclear weapons. Congress and the Supreme Court need to carefully watch this. We are standing on the edge of a cliff.

Liberals say it will be sad if our democracy ends in a fiery nuclear apocalypse. They're wrong—it will be sad if our republic ends in a fiery nuclear apocalypse.

Opinion | As a moralizing Christian conservative, I believe the ICE agents were right to kill Renee Good for protesting. But I condemn their use of the F-word and the B-word in the aftermath.

I’m so confused. Who is the “conservative” and who is the “communist”? Cutting red tape / regulation for small businesses and supporting services to support small businesses is pretty conservative (in the old school sense). I hope Mandami is able to get some of this in place.

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is. So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise. If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

A flash survey shows that fewer than 2% of New Yorkers will be flipping their vote to Cuomo following Donald Trump's last-minute endorsement. But at this Washington Post editorial board meeting, that number seems much higher.

I’m so old I remember when the normal response of folks in the tech community after an incident was “don’t dunk on companies - it happens to everyone #hugops”. I liked those responses better than trolling and “hot takes”.
