The answer is pho and it’s not close
In college and for a couple years after I ate pho 5-7 times a week

So simple, so reliably good
Seems a lot of people are disagreeing with me
I’ve had plenty of French onion soup in my life and I can’t imagine anyone seriously preferring it to pho
Ramen offers serious competition, it can hit highs pho can’t reach

But broadly speaking, if you say I have to choose between a random pho joint and a random ramen joint, I’m eating pho
And pho is strictly better than chicken noodle

Pho is beef noodle soup with huge hunks of brisket and flank steak and rare beef you cook in the amazing broth

Chicken noodle has...chicken

It’s like preferring chicken breast to ribeye, makes no sense

There's a goalpost move going on

From "no evidence of election fraud" to "no evidence of *widespread* election fraud"

"Widespread" is doing a ton of work in these formulations, in two different ways

Thread
First, there's no agreed-upon definition of "widespread," which allows the user to ignore any and all evidence of voter fraud by saying it doesn't meet their arbitrary threshold of being "widespread"
For example - the Trump campaign alleges ~675k ballots were opened without conservative poll watchers present

Is that enough ballots to be "widespread?"

How many poll watchers need to be wrongfully barred from observing voting/counting before it's "widespread?"

It's time to turn Durham into a special counsel

And open up two additional new special counsel investigations:

- Special Counsel to investigate money laundering/tax fraud by the Bidens related to Burisma and the China deals

- Special Counsel to investigate 2020 election fraud
All these Special Counsel investigations should be staffed at least 90% by people who donated to President Trump

Because under the Mueller standard, it's preposterous to think that biases the legal judgment of the lawyers involved
*IF* Biden wins, his DOJ appointees should be forced to swear under oath that they will not interfere in the special counsel investigations in order to be confirmed

We control the Senate, after all, and Trump let the Mueller investigation be completed

The executive branch has 2 million employees, all now subordinate to a Democrat

Republicans will have a 51-49 majority in the Senate, with flakes like Romney and Murkowski among them

This is NOT a good outcome for conservatives

It's just not *catastrophic*
Under Trump, the executive branch wasn't nearly that popular because it was basically rebelling against the White House

Under Biden those 2 million employees will be loyal

Not good
It's fucking loserthink to think it's good to lose the Presidency, in the hopes that your odds of winning it back in the future improve

The Presidency is orders of magnitude more important than the legislature, which is basically nothing more than a glorified oversight board

I spent most of yesterday on the ground in Philadelphia

I don't want to talk about what I heard

But what I saw

Thread
First, I saw a city in complete disarray

You can drive through huge sections of the city where trash is all over the streets and the sidewalks, it's absolutely disgusting

It made LA's Skid Row look hygenic by comparison

Everyone in charge should resign
Second, I saw a poll watcher get wrongfully prevented from entering a poll location

This really happened - and it wasn't just my new friend Gary, the Trump Campaign had a number of reports of poll watchers being excluded

The Intercept claims it did not censor @ggreenwald

However, I don't know how you can fairly read Peter Maas' memo to Greenwald and not conclude that they were censoring him

greenwald.substack.com/p/emails-with-…
Just in the opening paragraph

Editor Peter Maas says there is material he "disagrees with, but [is] comfortable publishing"

He contrasts that with "material at the core of this draft that I think is very flawed"

And says the piece "can work" if "significantly narrowed down"
To translate: "I will not publish your piece unless you restructure your argument to my liking"

The problem is couched by Maas as omitting relevant facts

But Greenwald points out in his own response that he explicitly accounted for the facts Maas said were omitted

We found the B students
Context: in most law schools, a B places you in the bottom third of the class
For example, at Georgetown, it shook down something like this:

A: Top 10%
A-: 10%-30%
B+: 30%-65%
B: 65%-95%
B-: Bottom 5%
