It’s also very MAGA, very every-accusation-is-a-confession for an organization calling itself the “Anti-Defamation League” to become a mouthpiece for defamation

If “good” = “driving the economy into a ditch for the next administration to pull out.” Better to impoverish everyone than allow THOSE people to lead comfortable, healthy lives.

If you’re a foreigner who wants to attend a US college, you have to be smart enough to create an alternate online identity that’s as spineless and sycophantic as Little Marco or as apolitical as an American high school student.

A dual pandemic — Covid & conspiracies. Social media and opportunistic trolls were superspreaders for the rumors and conspiracies that are normal in wartime and with public disasters. If only there were a vaccine….

You might even say “the gnashing of teeth” is a dog whistle. He should be particularly worried about the gnashing of teeth of the shit-covered flatterers and the burning false counselors that he’ll be joining soon for his extended stay in the eighth circle.
