I heard a good point. If that officer felt “threatened” by that lady such that he had to kill her, he is too fragile to be a cop.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.” Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

There’s plenty of discourse about whether these Young Republicans mean the things they say. And honestly, it doesn’t matter. Because whether they believe in it or not, the willingness to participate in these conversations predicts the willingness to perpetrate the violence they describe.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.
