@jaynordlinger The late Sen. McCain said that the Senator from KY was working for Vladimir Putin. So today is the POTUS.

@edstetzer @USATODAY Vladimir Putin is pure, unadulterated evil. It would be far better for the US to stand against him than with him.

@Lalvahoo @jpodhoretz Wouldn't it be awesome if a previously unpublished Roth novel turned up in someone's files?

@JonahDispatch In "Politics and the English Language," Orwell wrote that "fascist" had devolved to mean "something not desirable."

J.D. Vance takes "socialism" to that same place.

@seventhflt @cmclymer I have heard a little far left "He's just like Biden and Kamala" nonsense about Trump's Middle East policies, but otherwise, they seem to exist only to bash Democrats.
