Meet the Republican Millennials in Congress

I don't know who all of these people are yet, but Madison Cawthorn is going to be absolutely insufferable. Already is. -
Also, the inherent advantage of the media just refusing to acknowledge what the party actually stands for. Consider that Maggie Haberman at the New York Times and Johnathan Swan at Axios yesterday both separately reported that even Trump loyalists in his immediate circle are disturbed by his behavior and think that something dangerous might happen in the next month. You might think that that would mean that the newspaper would determine based on that that you, the reader, should be equally disturbed by what's going on and cover it across the entire paper like it's a national emergency, but they're just.... not. You're just supposed to treat it like it's a weird curiosity, it seems like. Then you have the stimulus negotiations, where the GOP is putting in poison pillsthat are explicitly designed to sabotage Biden's presidency, but every headline is just something banal like, "Congress fails to reach agreement on stimlus"

Officials increasingly alarmed about Trump’s power grab WWW.AXIOS.COM Officials say Trump is spending too much time with people they consider crackpots or conspiracy theorists. Again, useless statement. Who is this person? Why don't they just resign in protest when his job's gonna end in a month anyway? If all you're willing to do is just sit there and occasionally text a reporter you don't get credit for that.

Man, I'm so, so sick of reading shit like this. This was in a "dangerous new place" months ago when Trump started publicly suggesting that mail-in voting was rigged. Anyone working him who earnestly cares about the integrity of election could've resigned then. Nobody gets partial credit for anonymously telling a reporter, "Hey, some of this stuff Trump is suggesting seems kinda messed up" a month after the election already happened.

The spy has finally come in from the cold
Ricofoley replied to thewhyteboar's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
I just re-watched the 2011 adaptation of Tinker Tailor last night, which rules. I've also read Call for the Dead, Spy Who Came in From the Cold, Constant Gardner (which I read at the start of the pandemic, which made for some weird reading), and I have Perfect Spy upstairs somewhere waiting for when I get around to it. RIP to a true real one
