what i really want to know is when the atlantic will start taking the pedocon scandal seriously. it would be a mistake for them to dodge it

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.
