Faux News still bashing Dems, however ridiculously:

I guess Watters is one of those dudes I see in parking lots, manfully sitting in the car and refusing to emasculate himself while his wife does her ā€œfemaleā€ labor.

Iā€™d be worried he might damage the car to make himself look more manly by repairing it:

ā€¦lurking around, setting up the next victim person heā€™ll be ā€œrescuing.ā€

So creepy. Really, I canā€™t think of a prominent pundit who isnā€™t manifestly creepy.

I appreciate this, but Iā€™m also not as convinced that there werenā€™t serious problems with social media prior to this round of knee-bending. People have kept pushing this idea that twitter was critical to the Arab Spring, but I still maintain that the deciding factor of throwing Mubarak out in Egypt was when he cut the internet and people HAD to be with others to organize. Also, I donā€™t think Zuck and the rest are ā€œbeing bulliedā€ into complying with Trump - they WANT to comply with Trump. The threats of regulation was what they actually opposed.

Sorry - I almost added ā€œconservativeā€ to ā€œpunditā€ but that just doesnā€™t adequately express what they are. I get tired of typing ā€œfascistā€ all the time, but it fits.

Well, our current opponents are evil, and they boast that they want to eradicate us.

We canā€™t have a functioning society until we defeat them; then we can discuss and debate among ourselves.

So a functioning democracy either decides Nazis are not evil, or decides not to oppose them. Truly McArdle has a dizzying intellect.
