There needs to be a term writers can use to describe the feeling of being so wiped out that you can't possibly squeeze out any more words. I nominate "exhuastipated."
Anyway, I'm feeling exhaustipated right now.
Someone needs to invent a remedy for exhaustipation that would be like the counterpoint to the medication people use to prevent soiling themselves out of nervousness when giving a public talk, you know, Podium AD.

The use of symbolic language in this Merle Haggard/Leona Williams duet is wonderfully subtle.

You've got the bull of the wood
You've got the beaver from Missouri
And we oughta get together you and me
In case it’s not clear, that was sarcasm.
1978 was weirder than I realized as someone who was in 4th grade at the time.

When David Brooks was 3 years old, Jackie Robinson, a longtime Republican, expressed regret that the GOP, by nominating staunch conservative Barry Goldwater, had embraced a racist variety of "conservatism" explicitly intended to attract votes from bigoted white people.
If you won't take Jackie Robinson's word for it, will you take Robert Novak's word?
Jackie Robinson compared his experience of attending the 1964 GOP convention (again, the very year the conservative movement gained its key foothold in the party) to being a Jew in Hitler's Germany.

The guy who taught Republicans to use terms like “greed,” “hypocrisy,” “sick,” and “traitors” to describe Democratic opponents in the 1990s is disappointed that those “sick traitors” are disinclined to be friends with ppl who think they’re “libtard Socialists” who hate America.
Has Frank ever seen a Ben Shapiro video? Because boy, he sure doesn’t seem like someone who is sending out vibes that he wants to be a young Democrat’s friend.
Those young Dems are such horrible people that they want Republicans to have more affordable health care, a more sustainable environment, fewer of their kids shot in schools, fewer ppl killed by cops, & more people vaccinated against a virus that’s killed almost 800k Americans.

Some real Pulitzer-level "reporting" here. I wonder if this thing that I have no evidence for is happening?
I dunno, maybe living in the incredibly expensive city of DC for three years on $170K/year (pre-tax) as a member of Congress with zero inherited wealth to draw on is, um, absorbing most of her income?
Can I get a "reporting" job where I just sit around my house and make shit up off the top of my head? Because I think I could do that.

This fundraising letter from Hillsdale is truly demented.
You must give us money to support our “education for liberty” project so that our children will not go off to college and embrace ideas different from those of their parents. Because LIBERTY!!!!
He left home a normal midwestern kid and returned home someone who was appalled by police brutality!!! The horror!

This is why people who study the far right were very concerned about Bannon's role in the Trump campaign and WH in 2016-17. It was always obvious where his politics pointed.
Also worth noting that the "wise old heads" in the GOP knew full well who Bannon and Steven Miller were. They knew what a fringe racist Jeff Sessions was. They chose to do nothing about it then, and their willingness to stay in such a compromised party now is indefensible.
The nightmare scenarios in this must-read article all depend upon complicity from elected Republicans (esp. in the Senate) who know better and should not be allowed to pretend like they don't. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
