Do you remember 2008? Barack Obama was the great savior of the republic. He would provide racial healing. We would demand he be put on Mt. Rushmore.
And what is his legacy? Obamacare and Trump.
@politicalmath So you are part of a philosophy that believes in the power of moral state actors to bring about a better world. The only substantive program is, at best, forgettable. Meanwhile Democrats sunk all of their political capital into it because it was going to be his Social Security.

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.

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.

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/

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.

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.

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/

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.
