Just to say the obvious bit out loud - Trump, VD Vance and Elon Musk are bullies. They’ve made their whole careers via it. They shout at people, send mobs after them, complain to employers, threaten legal action, etc etc etc. It’s all about silencing speech which causes them discomfort. Elon […]

Honestly, I don't know how Zelenksy didn't punch the cheetoh that whole time. That man has remarkable restraint. I have never been so embarrassed for our country. What a thug. "World War III," he says over and over, echoing Putin's sabre rattling throughout his invasion. Even sitting in the […]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.
