If it hasn't yet made the transition to computer typography and needs to be cut anew, perhaps call it Philanderer, in honor of the former SoS and the current Commander-in-Chief?

And although I don't recognize the typeface used in the printed version of this 1912 speech by the delightfully-named then-SoS, Philander C. Knox, I would personally love to see it used for State Department pubs.

They do appear to include Times variants, but a 1981 (Reagan-era) publication, appears to use Century Schoolbook, which I've always found both readable and authoritative.

If you really want to return to the past, maybe look at State Department publications that predate the desktop publishing era. You'll find a diverse... er, I mean, varied set of faces.

Times New Roman does have the benefit of familiarity born of ubiquity.
But that's recent.
4/8
And even though, in the abstract, it is not a readable face (especially in the versions in common use today, which suffer from compromises to maintain backwards compatibility with the versions that Apple put on the first LaserWriters four decades ago),
3/8
To be fair, all else being equal, serif faces tend to be more readable than sans.

Ummmm... WHAT? Readability is "woke"?

Of course, that kind of begs the question: Why *DO* you live in Florida?

I was deeply ambivalent about the shutdown. I thought tying it to the subsidies was probably good policy but bad politics. And once the course was set, if Trump had fought back with something unexpected, I could understand reevaluating.

To my mind, that means that there would have been no excuse for caving without the condition being met - even if this week's elections hadn't moved the window.

When the Democratic leadership was deciding whether to insist on a condition for voting yes on the funding bill, those known knowns were presumably priced in.

But this was a battle in which the only weapons he used were known knowns. As far as I can tell, his only unanticipated acts were ineffective at best, or (like the extravagant parties and the timing of the East Wing demolition) self-inflicted wounds.

Trump is often unpredictable, in part because (to be polite) he doesn't hew to established norms. So you go into battle with him facing a lot of what someone once described as unknown knowns and unknown unknowns.

Here's the thing that really gets me: There were no surprises.

I'm old enough to remember when making the point that genocide is bad suggested the opposite.

Jesus. They're kids. Even assuming that they were uniformly privileged, that wasn't their choice.
Has anyone ever referred to anyone as "a spring chicken," or is spring-chickenhood defined entirely in the negative?

Stephan Miller simultaneously puts the "creep" in "creeping fascism" and excludes the "slow moving" meaning of the word.
Is there any society without megalomaniacal men who perpetrate demonic acts in their name?
Seems like either no nation is truly free (in which case the concept has no utility) or we need to recognize the difference between degree and kind.
