In case some can’t access WAPO, here is the gist as written in the opinion:
Continue reading “Marco Rubio’s speech about our economic system. Interesting and encouraging.”
Didn’t want to hijack the Morrissey thread . . .
I don’t think it was every really discussed at the time and I’m very curious to know everyone’s thoughts on the demise of Jeffrey Epstein. For the record, I 100% believe he was killed.
You guys must so proud
Well, I guess since Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t available.

An excellent essay that presents a useful reminder that ancient observations from the dawning era of political science as a formal discipline retain their vitality.
GOP Senator takes a shot…
SEN Kennedy calls Pelosi dumb? You may not agree with her, but she is one of the smartest folks on Capitol Hill. Playing to Trump’s crowd to keep his bona fides in place was disgusting. You can’t beat her, so you try to run her down.
I would love to see a face-to-face between Pelosi and Kennedy. He would be the ultimate bumpkin, get his ass kicked, and not be smart enough to realize it.
A call against complacency
Kristof hits the “high points” and reminds us to not become numb to reality.
Norfolk Forum: Powerful Talk by Bill Browder
Tonight Bill Browder gave a talk at Chrysler Hall as part of the Norfolk Forum speaker series. It was very moving; his description of what Sergei Magnitsky went through at the hands of Vladimir Putin was truly painful to hear. And yes, he went there: the June 9 meeting between Trump Jr., Kushner and Manafort with Russian lawyer and Putin asset Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower, where Trump tried to sell the Magnitsky Act down the river for personal gain, just as he has done with Ukraine.
I urge everyone on this forum to read his book Red Notice and realize the true menace that Trump is. The Magnitsky Act is the one real weapon that we have to bring Putin and his billionaire oligarchs to heel, but he continues to do Putin’s bidding and attempts to weaken its enforcement daily.
