Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss

Watching Guys and Dolls and it’s at the Manhole Dance, which is the number we were playing in the outdoor season of a theatre orchestra in which I was a violinist and my very long hair caught fire on a citronella candle. There was dry ice in the scene so no one but the very front row was the wiser.

“National identity” is a poison apple, a hat pin in a life raft. There is no progressive — or even moderate — case for using identity to construct self-serving hierarchies that suppress progress and amplify entitlement. No one deserves to live anywhere more than anyone else.

I am struck by the near-immediate response of certain RW-friendly news outlets to circulate untrue stories that the perpetrator is LW and then never roll it back. And the subsequent lack of coverage of this by MSM. This is another phenomenon that does not have a both sides analog.
