This is literally an old joke.

In a private exchange between Jones and Republican Virginia Delegate Carrie
Coyner, Jones griped about how the then-Republican speaker of the House of Delegates Todd Gilbert was paying tribute to a former moderate Democratic

"Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head," the text reads in part, referring to Gilbert and the two dictators.

Shoot the lawyer twice.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

I made a 28-song, multi-genre playlist of songs that remind me of the music in “One Battle After Another” for those who can’t get enough of the score.

Crack open a few small beers and give it a listen!

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

My one complaint about the sound is that track 7 could've gone harder in the guitar part. Should've been at least Paramore-level pop-punk sound and it's too muted.
