Yep. He doesn't like the job, he's not good at the job, and someone needs to go.

Which candidate did voters believe was more moderate?

The first #1 song to include rap, so it's pretty noteworthy historically. And Blondie were fans of the genre.

As the right wing in question is morally and intellectually bankrupt their praise or scorn is meaningless.

Conservatism lost to reactionaries who call themselves conservative. We should've seen it coming, the infection was always there.

Current economic stagnation is self-imposed and will recover by doing things that aren't dumb.

On the other hand, bad policy is a core part of Trumpism.

It's not, no. Unfortunately, multi-family housing is even rarer.

He's done a poorer job than Klinsmann.

I'm teaching a couple referee courses next month if you're in central California.

A big part of the problem is that municipalities don't want normal sized housing to be built. They want property tax generation.

Of 600 properties currently for sale in my zip code, only _8_ are under 1250 sqft and not mobile homes.

It's a rejection of the Christian tradition, setting the burden of a parent's sins onto their children.

Genuinely, we do need pro-natal policies. Like building enough housing in desirable areas that it doesn't chew up half of people's income. This one is even solved by _more_ capitalism instead of _less_!

Subsidizing childcare is also vital, especially in social and learning environments.

I fear RSL is going to let Luna go and do nothing.

Even the longest legal soccer field is 130 yards, so this is wild.

" Democrats Say" is unnecessary there. You can simply point out Hegseth is lying.

Pro-natalism is important. But I have doubts that Musk wants to subsidize child care, facilitate constructing higher density housing in desirable locations, and move more young adults out of poverty.

A nonviolent protest against a guy who worked to subvert representative democracy. Seems like a minor story.

Which major nation would you prefer as hegemon?

That's true but if someone calls a dog a duck three times, what do you assume the fourth time even before turning your head?

No.

He's handsome, charming, and a capable administrator. Unfortunately for him, he forgot that he's supposed to hide his lack of belief in anything beyond personal ambition.

Another college town that was deep red for GW Bush. It's just not a thing anymore.

In a recurring state of events on many topics, Governor Cox knows what is right and he's afraid to do it. What a sad man he must be.

When I was a BYU student in 2004, the Daily Universe's student poll was 80-15 for GW Bush. Biden and Harris both carried the same poll.

When I lived in Utah in 2008, the Salt Lake Republican Party sent someone to my door to convince me to vote by mail. This made sense; our area was competitive for state legislature races, and VBM increased turnout.

Now the party is crazy, and signaling loyalty to an idiot is the priority.

Mr Hogg is no different.

At what point in 2016 did Sanders have a path to a majority of delegates? (Feel free to include or exclude superdelegates.)

I do not see it. Not during the early states. Not through Super Tuesday. Not through mid-March. Not even after western caucuses favored Sanders Mar 22-Apr 4.

On that particular topic, I recall something from my CHP grandfather. An imperfect cop, but he believed in protecting the public. There were local PDs (including big ones) that he would not call for backup even in emergencies, because he didn't trust them to operate safely or above board.

People who don't want to compromise do not trust anyone who wants to actually accomplish things, but the reality is that there are only two options for progress: conversion and compromise. Successful movements have to do a lot of both.

It is very odd that things I consider to be the bedrock of conservative thought are now best expressed with Democrats.

Some already were, frankly. The belief that law enforcement must be more accountable than the average citizen hasn't been popular among Republicans during my lifetime.

As a conservative, the Trump era has been deeply disappointing. Most people who use the word now are pretty fine with a usage that used to fit the definition of reactionary.
