Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.

/2 AUSA jobs tend to be EXTREMELY competitive. (Not to say they’re not occasionally awarded to morons for politics.) Having to advertise for AUSAs on Nazi-Pedoworld is deeply embarrassing. Also the notion you have to be politically loyal to the President to be a entry-level lawyer is loathsome.

Reading – Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory
Rubio is no Isaac Newton…
…and JD Vance is an idiot.
Isaac Newton guy here. I've read Newton. I've written about Newton. I can assure you, Mr. Vance, Rubio is no Isaac Newton. Fig Newton, maybe—highly processed, definitely spineless, & devoid of nutrititional (intellectual) value. Which explains your characterization of Mr. Rubio. Like knows like.
