Or maybe it was just because the piece was shit, Paul. nytimes.com/2020/12/13/bus…
Imagine being so aggressively unwilling to see that you published something bad that you think there must be some secret coordinated effort when everyone attacks it!
Joseph Epstein has been publishing bad takes on anyone who is not a straight man for literally 50 years. This latest was not only bad, it was predictably so. (Go read this full thread. Seriously, it’s short and is worth it.)
Back to Paul. How bad of an opinion section editor is a person if they’re pissed that ... people paid attention to the words published in their opinion section?

Here are the #SCOTUS orders: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
The orders include a 6-3 ruling vacating a 9th Circuit decision in an Arizona death penalty case. In an unsigned opinion, the conservative justices issued a decision in George Russell Kayer’s case that discusses extreme limits on federal review of criminal cases. Image
The ruling in Kayer’s case effectively means he once again faces execution, and he does so because of an unsigned ruling by a Supreme Court that did not even hear the merits of his claim; this decision was based solely on the cert petition briefing.

A problem — not “the problem,” bc there are many — is that the Republican leadership’s approach to Trump now is basically what it’s been all along: “That’s ugly, authoritarian, and almost certainly won’t work. We’ll just stand aside, and if it doesn’t, fine. It is does, cool.”
Of course, there are some who go along, affirmatively, but the party leadership generally has tried to take the “we’ll try to get the benefits of his attempts to undermine the country’s foundation without taking ownership of it” approach.
It’s always been a bad and irresponsible approach, but we’re seeing how actually dangerous it is, day by day, right now. At some almost imperceptible point along the path, the Republican position stopped looking like idly standing by — and became a part of Trump’s efforts.

My question: What sketch did Bowen write for Timmy, and what is going to happen in the sketch? 🤪 #SNL
“I’m oral.” 😂
“I snuck in their butts.”

TIMOTHÉE.

Watching THE PROM.

“They’re so cute,” I said in “Ring of Keys.”
This was a live-action version of Team America, yes?
When Kerry sang, “Fixing little problems is what I do,” we all felt that Olivia Pope energy, right?

This story is enraging. theintercept.com/2020/12/10/bid…
Look at what happened tonight with Trump and Barr and SCOTUS and Brandon Bernard. Look at what happened all day with the GOP in the Texas ignore-democracy SCOTUS litigation. Look at what McConnell is doing to decrease relief for Americans suffering due to the pandemic & economy.
How could you be in the position of preparing to take over the presidency in the midst of all of this and not say, “Yes, I am going to do everything in my power to help Americans get through this and be able to come out as whole as possible on the other end”?
