«200,000 fascists and Nazis march in Warsaw, Poland led by the President and Prime Minister. Calling for an ethnically cleansed Poland and basically a 2nd Holocaust.»
Huh. John Yoo, the guy who claimed torture was legal for the Bush the Younger administration.

The art of the deal:
«American intelligence officials say that the North’s production of nuclear material, of new nuclear weapons and of missiles that can be placed on mobile launchers and hidden in mountains at the secret bases has continued.
And the sanctions are collapsing, in part because North Korea has leveraged its new, softer-sounding relationship with Washington, and its stated commitment to eventual denuclearization, to resume trade with Russia and China.»

I like the writing in this “piece.” (I am reminded of Diane in Bojack Horseman constantly being pressured to generate “content”.) But, still….

«Why anyone would feel the need to consume Jameson in shot form is one of life’s eternal mysteries and makes me contemplate the composition of an essay tentatively entitled “The Wussification of American Drinking Culture”.»
