Ajax doesn't know what socialism is. A couple weeks ago he equated his high energy bill with socialism. He sees his sole energy provider as ripping him off, and calls for market competition to lower his prices. He doesn't know (and don't tell him, I smiled condescendingly behind my monitor and let h...

On the one hand, what, the book he tried to sell the copyright to he didn't quote from much? On the other: Had Joseph taught frequently from the Book of Mormon, rest assured that tidbit would be trumpeted by Mopologists as evidence he found the record precious, divine, correct, and most of all, that...

Some fun demographic shifts to consider given the razor thin margins in a few of these states. I'm looking forward to the deep dives in these key states but here are some high level exit poll numbers from the NYTimes: Veterans shifted pretty dramatically in 2020, only 52% breaking for Trump this ye...

Taking a serious crack at Shades' question, the bottom line to me is that "his job" is a rather open ended. Abuse of authority often happens when fulfilling the letter of a position. It wasn't "his job" to do exactly what he did. Had he ignored all recommendations and said we should wait until next ...
