Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Who is the genius consultant who thought it would be smart for every Democrat to begin fundraising pitches with “is there anything I can say?” Hard to think of a better way to signal you belong to a feckless party that has no core beliefs and will say whatever it thinks the voters want to hear.

A foreign army shows up to your village when you're a young adult or even straight up still a child and tells you they'll pay you to kill people for them or do really anything to help kill people for them. then they take you to their country after they lose but give you no job, house, or citizenship

All right everybody, time to read (or reread) The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon. Ground rules: we are not reading for the history of 1848-1852 France, but we're also not looking for direct parallels to the contemporary US. We are looking for broad lessons on politics and just generally good lines.
