After 10 years of cravenly and fraudulently presenting the Know-Nothing Nazified Republican Party as one of two sane, understandable choices, major news organizations are not able to report the obvious, which is that U.S. voters seem to be increasingly coming to their senses. Epic, epic fail.

No no you miss understand. Kyle Juszczyk wasn’t fined $15k by the NFL for a beer chugging gesture. He was fined because his gesture pantomimed chugging a Miller Lite, rather than a Bud Light, the Official Beer Sponsor Of The NFL™️

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Good question, I've been studying and teaching it and trying to write it occasionally for over 20 years and am not sure. I think it usually has something to do with being driven by character and interiority rather than plot and event, with a strong emphasis on voice and originality.
