What he says doesn’t make sense even on his own terms. A string of disconnected memes— or really, memettes. He claims he studied with Habermas—impossible. (Unless it was before he had a lobotomy.)

How old is he? 12?

Call Earl Scheib—he’ll give you a good deal on a repaint.

She prefers Netanyahu. Kind of says it all, no?

Long-time teacher here: unless it was harmless incidental contact (eg when tossing the bottle to a friend), school should have told both sets of parents, hitter’s and hitee’s, explained circumstances, and also measures they took and are taking to stop it happening again. Negligent otherwise.

Her children seem to have no problem with that, still perfectly happy to pal around and do business with Dad. Nice people!

Check out his great tribute album “Thinking of Woody Guthrie.“ Two kindred spirits… Best of America. Rest in Power, Joe.

Well done, Lewis! Are all their promises this empty? Good on you for exposing him.

Nobody could be this stupid—except, amazingly, it seems that they are. Better hurry up with those neural implants, Elon—I recommend the “avoid logical fallacies” model, stat.

Subtle and brilliant insight. The spectacle and stagecraft isn’t only to make us focus on the dictator, but even more to make us look away from our own moral compromises in the face of autocracy. “Trump is funny— can’t you take a joke?!”

The devil’s best trick is convincing us he doesn’t exist.

Heads I win, tails you lose: Trump’s innovation in foreign policy. (And every other policy.)

Considering what they are heroically sacrificing IN THE DEFENSE OF EUROPE, wouldn’t you think that a way could be found? EU bureaucracy at its smug and rigid worst.

The Great Man! Wonderful to see him quoted here. A sentence from Permanence and Change also comes to mind in our current predicament:

"It requires a very high degree of imaginative insight to hate a person who is thousands of miles away."

Perverted tools, infected faculties—what are we doing? Why?

See, being blind is just a temporary inconvenience. Once you understand that, you see that these Nazis were perfectly justified dropping him on a deserted road miles from his home. Suck it up, old man! Start walking!

Yes, I noticed that many thousands of children have died in Africa when our aid and aid workers were withdrawn, and I noticed that this is an imperishable stain on our country’s honor. You don’t notice such matters, do you, Mr Hassett? But your shit-eating grin can’t hide your evil choices.
