I don't know if this plays around the country but you can inject it into *my* veins. Just the fact that he has enough respect for the voters to speak to them like an educated adult in incredibly refreshing. And no, his indictment of Collins as a Nazi bigot is not hyperbole.

We need to incept the idea of Trump renaming the GOP to the Trump Party, and by “incept” I mean have a reporter mention it once within his earshot and he’ll become obsessed with it and not let it go

I feel the new Call of Duty being about North Korea is almost an attempt at..... nostalgia bait?? Like, sure NK is still around and still the same, but American Fears about North Korea and its peak of relevance was like, maybe 16 years ago. Or is it just that every "antagonist" is too real now?

80% of the country is pissed off about something and they're blaming GOP incumbents for it, the worst possible strategy for a Dem challenger is to tell the base "I don't share your values" while also telling swing voters "I'm so out of touch I think 'men in women's sports' is a real concern."

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.
