Every time you post these links I am flabbergasted that real people actually say and do these things.

“Now, more than ever, the idea of a third party is a threat to our democracy.” — Lincoln Project senior advisor Tara Setmayer, during an interview on MSNBC

I don't think there is a more disgusting and evil political organization than the Lincoln Project. When we look at the degradation of political discourse in this country, the people involved in this corrupt organization are a big cause. Today they support the "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" because he is a puppet to the globalist corporatist cabal that is intent to loot the USA to an empty shell while turning over all material policy control to Beijing and Brussels. Of course they do not want a third party... think of all their Wall Street holdings at risk!

They have the same idea of democracy as all the "democratic people's republics" of the soviet era. There are elections but you can only vote for the handpicked choice. The will of the people is whatever the elites say it is - if the people think otherwise they are ill-informed, propagandized or simply not acting in their own interests and therefore should only be allowed to vote for the obvious choice(s).

Little disappointed there was no Taylor Lorenz quote, but hopefully next week.

"“I am not a doctor.” — Florida Democrats Chairwoman Nikki Fried, when asked if men can give birth or have an abortion"

Me neither. But, I have stayed at a few Holiday Inns in my time. It must be awkward to be asked such a stupid question, and yet not be able to answer because of your team's ideology.

"Congresswoman, what does 2+2 equal?" - "I'm not a mathematician!"

Suppose you agree that men can't actually have babies, not having a womb - which is nobody's fault, not even the Republicans' - but that he can have the *right* to have babies. (slightly adapted from the Life of Brian).

Sunny Hostin meet Kaleah Denise, the face of greed, racial hatred & the new paper bag test for determining is you are black enough to receive reparations. Levar Burton beware. Now your ancestors are your future according to this self justifying racist. What ever happened to people like Rodney King? There is no logic to hatred. It is a self annihilating division.

Hur is playing an interesting game here, I wonder if it's calculation on his part to endear himself to the next administration. It's quite the torpedo at the Biden campaign, especially the stuff about Beau Biden - Biden has been recorded multiple times not remembering how his son died. By not prosecuting Biden he also avoids the effect we see in Trump that people are so pissed off by it that they are voting for Trump out of spite. All the Trump prosecutions seem to backfire.

My favorite part is that he calls them "illegals". Pretty certain that violates the woke rules

Going through the outrageous fun house distorting mirrors of the Quotes, and then over the "Precipice of Fear" in the Links is quite the ride! Excellent!

Vida Afram’s story will infuriate Socialists & inspire Capitalists & any immigrant that hopes to come here for a better life. I hope that she gets to live some of her dreams & see more of her new country. It would have been interesting to include an after piece with her children’s view of life here. People immigrating from Africa to the USA will in an about 20 years out number the native born Black American population. They will not legally be eligible for reperations. Many of them come from countries where hyper inflation ravaged their former countries’s economies will not be happy to inflict economic conditions onto this country that would bring about hyperinflation here. To paraphrase Kobo Abe “ the future does not care about the past”. We will be a different country then. Which certainly gives more impetus to the current push for reparations by those who want it.
