Newsweek has published a column by Jenna Ellis and it's everything you'd hope for.

Which is to say, it reads like a high school sophomore trying to vamp for two pages.

The Declaration of Independence, helpfully, lists the reasons why we left, including show trials for military officers who killed Americans, a failure to allow sufficient immigration, and the arbitrary refusal to pass necessary laws. No mention of "the god revealed in the Bible."

The Founders "strongly debated" what powers should be given to the civil government but "agreed unanimously on the unversality of absolute truth."

I'd LOVE to disagree about the universality of absolute truth, but I have no idea what that phrase means.

Another magnificent Jenna Ellis sentence, suggesting that we are "throwing out our ideological heritage and design of government in practice."

On the same day the Trump administration is arguing before SCOTUS that it can ignore the text of the 14th Amendment.

Jenna Ellis says it's "no secret" that Democrats want to destroy the country and her examples are violence, riots, and police reform.

America "promotes good and restrains evil" in a system in which "we can achieve and advance" because we have "unlimited opportunity."

I think she's just grabbing lyrics that were deemed to insane for "Proud to be an American."

Jenna was definitely eating jam as she wrote this paragraph, concerned that the wrong distribution of powers between the branches would jam our system and prevent a... log-jam of justice?

The Democrats are trying to bring Marxism to the country but are "shrouding" it by not using any of the terms or ideas relevant to Marxism. Crafty.

And actually we are some of the most self-absorbed people, you guys.

"It might seem like we are only acting out of self interest, but really we're not."

Quite an argument. I'm convinced.

"Here's a thing John Adams said that is actually irrelevant to the next 9 sentences, which just express that I really, really like America"

It seems like Jenna Ellis is arguing with someone who's like "Let's destroy America, it sucks." And she's like NO ACTUALLY IT IS THE BEST. And the person goes "Oh man I didn't know that. I will stop my overt attempts to destroy America through intentional user error."

Ok I now see this thing was written in September when the way to save the system was to "vote to preserve it." But the new COOL thing to do is to not let people vote at all.

I was confused because Jenna talked about this piece today, as she advocated for people's votes for President to be nullified and Trump given the job by fiat.
