Yeah it’s not like she was selling CDs or cigarettes or refused a command or stole a bowl of food or was a child with a gun or had a bottle of tea and some skittles or a license to carry a firearm something REALLY dangerous https://t.co/EaJoHmmTBz

I'll add, again, that the single solitary counterfactual to which we know the answer is that if Trump were still in charge, few to no SIVs would have been evacuated. https://t.co/XhADeok4LS

"Surrounded" is absolutely a lie. There was a single member of the capitol police in the vicinity. Behind Babbitt was an angry mob brandishing weapons and smashing through a barricade.

The last barricade between them and our government.

That officer stood at his post. https://t.co/uEexHLzpLm

We really should include basic statistics much earlier in the education cycle, and make it mandatory. There is so much going on now that wouldn't be such a mess if people understood stats.

Oh look, it's the "fuck your feelings" crowd trying to excise ouchy words from the debate.

If only Bari Weiss or Bret Stephens or David Brooks wasn't COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT, they'd probably write something about this. https://t.co/k67hTGdAKl

I absolutely love how conservatives have been so quick to yell HIPAA! & MY BODY MY CHOICE! when it comes to asking for proof of vaccination, but casually open a massive website in Texas offering MONEY to people who rat out their friends’ & families’ reproductive medical history.

It’s so weird that when a white cop killed a black man, George Floyd, Tucker backed the cop.

And when a black cop killed a white woman, a Trump supporter, Tucker accuses the cop of ‘executing’ her.

So weird. Can’t quite put my finger on why he’d treat them so differently. https://t.co/O1KwqdkYCj

This is a spectacular story.

But there’s this nagging question of why volunteer special operations veterans are the ones who are going out and doing large-scale daring rescue missions for Afghan allies... https://t.co/TGpBnJyrnc

Remembering this ambush of U.S. soldiers in 2017; Trump’s treatment of the widow of one of the soldiers, and the ensuing investigation that revealed this. And, of course, the silence from those now calling for resignations. https://t.co/lndZeRJbQg

They point to examples of incompetence (blithely ignoring examples of their own) and say “See, we were right to accept indecency and all that came with it.” No, wrong answer.

I keep hearing people imply that, in America’s politics, I must choose between decency and competence. But neither my core values nor the evidence I see supports the validity of such a choice. I reject it.

If the Biden Administration wanted the Supreme Court to shrug and look the other way while they did something clearly illegal, they should have tried being cops.

Rod, if you had anything you liked talking about that wasn't "how gay people want to steal your kids", "the trans Armageddon", "black people are too thin skinned" or "maybe America DOES need a dictator", you wouldn't have this problem.
