This offer still stands. It's been a bruising campaign season. Let us join hands and come together around a shared dream of punishing Washington's warmongering morons. Let the healing begin.
In the spirit of bipartisanship, if Trump is prepared to end this war I am prepared to offer proposals for how he can seek revenge on the idiots who talked him into it. #healing #centrism #bipartisanship

As a Marxist materialist I’m supposed to think everything that happens is the product of deep economic forces. But if Trump has simply not done tariffs and not started a war with Iran, both of which he did because he’s a world-historical moron, he’d be taking a modest hit tonight

I am the fellow who dies of a cancer that could have been caught on time if I hadn't picked Middle English just to see what would happen.

Be glad that the Left opposes the death penalty -- you will not like the Left that embraces it

Congress can pressure the president to stand down in Iran by doing what it usually does best: nothing, writes @GeneHealy. buff.ly/S1cfMb2

Forcing the Pentagon to cannibalize tens of billions of its own money to pay for the Iran War? Through simple congressional neglect? A diabolically on-the-nose proposal from Gene.
