What I love most about this exchange is the viciousness of your heel turn. You came in Daredevil, and left Bullseye. That might have something to do with the state of political discourse in the empire.

The Clarence Thomas line is perfection. This one was so much fun.

Honestly, I appreciate you leading the charge on this one. Don't be surprised if the tax riff gets you an offer from The Wall Street Journal.

It warms my freedom-loving heart to see two brilliant minds embracing the idea of monarchy in America. I too eagerly await to be ruled by Jared Kushner IV with a Hapsburg jaw and a 2346 BMI.

Spoken like a true patriot. People might get surgery to get the Hapsburg look once it's back in style. It'll be the new Brazilian lift, and less fatal.

"Each presidency wields more imperial authority than the last, regardless of party, agenda, or dementia." 💜

It's so very "America" of us to place our most cognitively fragile and empathically inept individuals in positions of power. We ARE a great nation, aren't we? Not a SMART nation so much. But great for sure. 🙄

Well executed, gentleman. As always. 🥂

All great takes is size. And, it seems, warhead count. I try not to think about it.

Thank you for the kind words! Well worth making it on a new round of lists.

America is adverse selection.

Thanks for the awesome feedback! Dennard forces me to up my game, then a virtuous death spiral ensues, then we disseminate madness. It's a perfected formula.

Virtuous Death Spiral would be a kickass band name. Dibs.

Nice. And it makes me (feel) way cooler than I really am. Win squared!

Watching all of Ron DeSantis’s brain farts in public made me think “This guy is literally unqualified to work literally any job but Governor of Florida. If he managed a Quizno’s, there would be a mutiny within a week.”

You mean, he's not Trump with brains? Huh.

Quizno's??? Are they in the strip mall next to Bob's Big Boy?

They blew through their entire campaign war chest and have nothing to show for it. Cost-cutting hurts.

May I suggest that you two take on the Espionage Act of 1917 next, please? There is a provision in one of the sections that, to my mind, would apply to the guy who used to be a Coach (he also had communications with an alleged co conspirator of the insurrection during) who is now benching our military appointments over his dislike of women having bodily autonomy. I appreciate your consideration.

I can never read "circle be unbroken" without a full-length Bioshock Infinite flashback. I wonder how many other games have inspired that many flame wars in so short at time. Thank you for the restack! My glass ego appreciates every inch of help.
