The beginning of the article says it doesn't have mainstream traction. Not sure about the "China bad" thing, we seem to have the Han nationalists vs the mainstream who wants ethnic unity and 5000 years of unbroken history vs

I don't think he is advocating for this but rather juxtaposing it with common right wing talking points.

Lol, "are you going to issue a correction!?!" It's absolutely an attempt at disenfranchisement, the administration has been pretty clear about this. I asked you to also consider the other angle, it doesn't somehow inva

It's kind of genius - use the one federally-controlled element of voting to disenfranchise your opponents, doing it so late that the courts can't rule in time. UPS, Fedex, DHL, and Amazon have the chance to do the funniest, most p

Well, the last president to steer the car away from the cliff came from one party, the other is currently mashing the accelerator toward it. And that is without considering things like invading Iraq and Afghanistan, creating the global fina

Why is it ironic that Clinton balanced the budget? Second term Bush not so great? Can you think of anything in his first term that maybe impacted the deficit for, say, two decades?

The fault report was leaked. The hydraulic systems recovered and the plane landed safely. Also the pilot tested positive for cannabis and was not in his seat at the time of the incident. There apparently is a maintenance switch to bleed hyd

Let's not focus on principle over scale, particularly because scotus declared the rules are completely different for the executive. Others engaged in similar practices do get named. They don't need to be named here.
