An important point and yet another indication of how incredibly uncurious the current millennial generation of political reporters is about anything that happened before them. You simply cannot be an effective political reporter if you have no interest in or knowledge of history.
Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent.
George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s.
Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency.
Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.

would be way more accurate to show the white house turning into a giant car dealership
Fascinating this need to externalise the authoritarian turn in Western countries
History has shown that the west doesn't need an other to act in the most brutal and authoritarian manner
Ignoring this is deeply counterproductive

Well played. And frighteningly accurate.

I think this is true, but conditional on designing the free college program to expand overall access rather than just redistribute it. Something like tying the subsidies to colleges creating more capacity.
It’s good policy for Democrats to advocate for free college, both because it’s the right thing to do and because it makes more Democrats
tbh i kinda wonder what happens when the GOP ends up ceding college almost entire to left-libs

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

The first offering is a roll call of 68 accounts, some much more college basketball-leaning than others. Dive in and share far and wide.
