And if memory serves, the books continued to be compiled even after 2008 when we switched from quarterfold to tabloid. Different shape and all.

We were! I just knew they had to be safe and sound at the Reader office. Thanks, @imleor.bsky.social for confirming.

Everyone he mentions is a problem. Clooney, Carville, Axelrod, Pod Bros, Rahm, Tapper. White boys with grievance. What have they done for us lately?

No doubt you're right. Whenever Rahm emerges I try to pass on the story of Laquan McDonald. Rahm had a role in withholding evidence of Laquan's murder by a Chicago PO who was ultimately found guilty. The Circuit Court of Cook County forced Rahm's hand.

When talking about Rahm, elevate the story of Laquan McDonald. Shine a light on Rahm's role in withholding evidence of Laquan's murder—in which the police officer involved was found guilty—until the Circuit Court of Cook County forced Rahm's hand.

LOL. Yeah, sure, if you're looking for the next DT. We have moved way past these pitiful asshats. There are much smarter people who don't need to abuse others to be effective leaders. Get with the program.
Andrew Cuomo is resurgent, Gavin Newsom is podcasting, and Rahm Emanuel is considering a presidential run. Are these the bullies Democrats need? @galbeckerman.bsky.social asks. theatln.tc/BO6vnFaE

YES. Exactly!
