Is this not a thing?
I'm still wondering if they all lose their right to vote. Maybe someone should look into it for me...

Posting this for no real reason except that I found it informative and entertaining. Friedman on environmental regulations in the auto industry, Nader, the free market and more. His rapport with Phil Donahue is so affable. Riveting debate content. Getting me hyped for all the unity and civility we're going to get in the Biden/Harris era...
How much different is the auto industry now than it was then?
How about network television?

It was sitting here in editing mode when I woke up and I hit post? Maybe I posted it and accidentally deleted it or something.

Or maybe a bunch of wackos just tried to kill 1/3rd of our government and have threatened to kill another 1/3rd tomorrow.BurtReynolds wrote: "Maybe Biden is our Sulla: making a brutal attempt to reestablish the previous order, but ultimately accomplishing nothing more than setting the stage for the coming Caesar."
Biden isn't even in control of the National Guard right now.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It'll be interesting following the journey of people like this. I don't think he ever went full Mr. Expert Tom Nichols who is so dedicated to his bit that he can't change course. That these people can make a living in their academic/ thinktank/ publication bubble just shows the disconnect between the donor/ institutional class and the voters they pretend to try to convince.
