Sen. Paul: I want the truth!

Dr. Fauci: You can't handle the truth!

Son, we live in a world that has viruses, and those viruses have to be guarded by people with PhDs. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Senator Graham? I have a greater responsibility than you can *possibly* fathom.
Fauci: You weep for the 4 million dead and you curse the NIH. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that their deaths, while tragic, probably saved grants; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves grants.
Fauci: You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me in Wuhan -- you *need* me in Wuhan.

We use words like "research," "funding," "gain-of-function." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something.
Fauci: You use them as a punch line.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who takes the experimental medicines I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide them.

I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way.
Fauci: Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a face mask and stand six feet away. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!
Paul: Did you fund the gain-of-function research?

Fauci: I did the job --

Paul: Did you fund the gain-of-function research?!

Fauci: YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID!!!

This is a good lesson for the Internet and especially Twitter:
(1) Don't equate policy criticism with attacking identities. This is the problem with identity politics. Real policy discussion is off-limits.
(2) You could do what you wanted without tagging Carlson. You could have posted exactly what you did, with the same pictures. But...

...that means your tweets might not have gone viral, which was the real goal.
(3) Be aware that people disagree with you in good faith. They're not villains because you don't agree. But...

...you can't cancel people if you don't accuse them of extreme moral violations. You won't get the dopamine rush of ruining someone's life.

I'll go further than @SonnyBunch: Wandavision is a metaphor for Woke Culture.

Wanda creates an artificial reality and forces everyone to conform to it, down to their very thoughts.

When they get their first respite from the mind-control, they say it's torture. 1/
@SonnyBunch Wanda then doubles-down on the artificial reality, saying that it'll be more awesome next time.

And although she dresses it up in a higher purpose, the fake world exists only to soothe her psychology. It's entirely selfish. 2/
@SonnyBunch When she's finally forced to set the people free of her direct control, Wanda offers no real apology and is still self-centered.

But even after she lets go, the authorities praise her for what she's done, or at least for her intentions. 3/

Despite Trump's dumb statement, here's the bottom line:
(1) Mail-in voting is a logistical nightmare. People move all the time and, unless you specifically request a ballot, they're going to go everywhere and people WILL collect them and vote on others' behalf.
(2) The huge amount Democrats are demanding is just a USPS bailout because it is full of unions. The truth is, even with the money, there's no way the USPS is going to retool just to handle ballots. First class mail is dead. The only first class mail you get is legally-required.
(3) This bailout is an acknowledgement that the USPS cannot handle mass mail-in voting now.

Do you think manufacturers can build and ship sorting machines in 2 months sufficient to handle 140,000,000 ballots?

Then just let them sit and rust? Because 1st-Class mail is dead.

But "income inequality" is not about poverty. It is about social status. This is VERY important to understand.

Those who complain the loudest about "income inequality" are upper-middle class professionals, most of whom are educated beyond their intelligence.
They were in the top 10 of their high school class, got a decent SAT score and think they deserve to have special status.

But they don't really. They, however, may work for or near very rich people, whom they don't respect.
This is not entirely wrong. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Jeff Bezos are not the smartest people in the world. And although they'd surely be millionaires, a lot of luck allowed them to be billionaires.

Paragraph 12: "...inebriated and disoriented so that they could then be `gang raped' in a side room or bedroom by a `train' of numerous boys."

Note the careful connection. They weren't just drinking and offering drinks to girls, it was a plot with a goal. 23/
Paragraph 12: "I have a firm recollection..."

Funny, are you arguing the other recollections weren't firm?

"...of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their `turn' with a girl inside the room. These...included MJ and BK." 24/
Were the recollections firm about MJ and BK? Or just about the lines? As many have pointed out, she claims this happened at *numerous* parties. And she's asserting the girls were unwilling. Well, unwilling without the help of rape punch, I guess. 25/

On Julie Swetnick: First, it is very serious as Julie Swetnick has had many jobs in FedGov and gotten a Secret security clearance. Ford's allegations are serious, but her games make it dubious. Ramirez' are laughable (and by themselves don't rise to disqualification, IMO). 1/
I am a very cynical person by nature, so I will look at this with the most cynical view. She may be, in fact, the most credible even if her accusations are the most unbelievable. Also, Avenatti.

Still, here we go. 2/
Paragraph 6: The first meeting is 1980-1981. "Approximately". In summer of 1980 he would have been 15. The connection to Mark Judge is important here. She uses the words "joined at the hip" to assert that anything Judge did, Kavanaugh must be assumed to have done. 3/
