Vocation- I write stuff Avocation- Resistor. Wrangle children, have a rescue horse, cultivate snark. So thankful for our independent journalists and historians- this, my friends, is heroism. I am that which lurks beneath the glass one breaks in emergencies

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Stephen Miller is rabidly tilting at windmills while stumbly Trump would siphon strength from the UFC, but they have nothing left but feckless bravado where feeble men cosplay warriors.
