    We Have Always Been at War With Eurasia

    We are simply not dealing with people who have enough knowledge or love of truth to try to figure out reality. Fantasy worlds tailored to people’s competence dysmorphia are so much nicer and easier than reality.

    IANAL, But

    I’ve been following the tribulations (and am looking forward to the trials) of Donald Trump. It’s fascinating, to me, the level of stupidity and bad lawyering that the republican fascist party has managed to scrape together.

    Scenes We’d Like To See

    At the presidential debate. Question for Joe Biden about the long-term impact of deferring corporate payments into social security… Then, it’s Trump’s turn:

    In Case You Missed It

    The president of the United States is arguing with interviewers about how well he did on a test to measure cognitive impairment in Alzheimers’ patients. Really.
