The term โdouble tapโ disgusts me. Itโs Orwellian in the extreme, and itโs coming out of the mouths of drunken, out-of-control boys. Then the media repeats it as if itโs perfectly normal and reasonable to talk that way.

Scottish tunes on the fiddle, and one Italian verb a day. 20 Italian words a day. Wrote a dissertation on George Eliot. Despairing for the future. Resisting by means of one postcard at a time. ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฆ๐จ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐บ๐ฆ

Iโve been reading Simon Schamaโs history of the French Revolution. It has a lot to teach us.
Iโm not a military commander, and Iโve never seen combat. But it enrages me. Itโs disqualifying for anyone engaging in it, even if all they do is push the button to upload files. Shame on everyone involved, including the idiots who voted for this.
How much more death and destruction is Trump going to cause around the World before Americans do the decent thing and impeach the fucker?
Still crazy that the presidentโs lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she โclearedโ him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.
I donโt think he understands how the government works.
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
โI will cast you as voting against the troopsโ.
This is horrendous.
Probably threatened him with bone saws.
Hegseth is a freak, a very sick one.
Thereโs no difference between offense and logistics.
Heโs the worst kind childish bully.

I know! I know! โ
Youโve got to be fโing kidding me.
We should reckon with the idea that Americans are so fucking dumb that we booted out the party that saved the country after Covid and created the best economic recovery in the world in favor of a con man who said he would use racism and magic to make everything cheaper and jobs plentiful.

Full of ideas? I donโt think so. Grievance is not an idea.
How could anyone be that ignorant about Orwell, even if you hadnโt read a single line of his work?
Thatโs what I heard in his phrasing.
To help spread it?
โSucks to be you.โ
He doesnโt need to hear any fโing testimony.
โDo themโ.
My sledgehammer is ready.

She must know absolutely nothing about George Orwell.
