Plus we’re doing it without our best player who’s a sure-fire lotto pick. Like, I can deal with that.

I’m currently writing a book about what’s really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.

Suffice it to say, this ain’t it:

As we approach Saint Patrick’s Day, it’s time for my annual, friendly, reminder that the Irish were never slaves so stop it with your bullshit about how β€œthere was white slavery in America, too!” because no the fuck there wasn’t.

Anyone else have a writing sweet spot that they operate in, but outside of that are totally worthless? For me, I do my best writing in the first 6 hours after waking. After that, evening editing becomes a real challenge. 0600-1200 is perfect. 1900? 2000? Basically impossible.

Ok so this is significant. The largest U.S. military hospital outside CONUS is suspending certain operations to prioritize the treatment of combat injuries.

There are a lot more U.S. casualties than is being reported.

We are effectively carpet bombing a city of 15 million people.

We are not the good guys in this.

One of my students just said that Thomas Jefferson was the vice president under Lincoln and that’s why Reconstruction failed.

I hate how every male fashion influencer is basically just like β€œWear huge, baggy pants and lots of muted colors” like nah fuck that, you Gen Z wannabes. You can look like fifty shades of shit if you want but don’t try and convince us that it looks good.

You don’t have to tell me that. Harris was never my first choice but I absolutely voted for her.

β€œWe’re not going to just blindly invade Russia in the middle of winter. That would be crazy!” says an incredulous Nazi spokesperson. β€œThis is much more sophisticated than that.”

Idiots convinced voters not to vote for Harris thinking that it would give us Trump and instead we got Netanyahu.

Centrist Democrats are the most dangerous people in the country. They consistently think they can manage fascists and so spend all of their time fighting leftists. It’s unbelievable how fucking stupid these people are.

Real leaders lament the loss of Soldiers and Sailors who give their lives in combat. They don’t make flippant remarks like some fucking CoD waiting lobby.

I GUARANTEE that the NYT would never take my op-ed on how we should seize the assets of the top 1% and redistribute them amongst the working classes and the poor. You know why? Because no matter how incredibly well written and insightful would be, it wouldn’t align with their ideology. GFY.

This is what happens when a libertarian reply guy becomes a MSM journalist. β€œHey man I’m not a Republican I’m a Libertarian. I just vote for Republicans 100% of the time is all because of their support for one of my issues.” It’s wild that you, someone with so childish a brain, get paid to write.

That’s not even close to accurate, although if this belief is common in your field then it’s no wonder that we’re in this position in the first place. Jfc you people really love the smell of your own shit don’t you?
