A Modest Proposal
Howzabout no more fucking Cuomos or Giulianis in public life? This reporter is already, on general principle, embarrassed he's one-quarter Italian; these Two Families of New York Politics aren't helping one damn bit. Papist mother-fuckers.
"Death From Above": Malcolm Gladwell Is A Murderous War Crime-Endorsing Chump
Stop lying & omitting facts, Gladwell, you sack of Canadian crap.
[...]... sly maliciousness and explosive vacuity: the two primary qualities of Gladwell’s oeuvre.
[...]A skeptical reader may wonder: Why would Malcolm Gladwell, who seems to admire LeMay so much, talk at such great length about the lethality of LeMay’s Japanese firebombing? The answer lies in what this story leaves out. Mentioned only glancingly in Gladwell’s story are the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. The omission allows for a stupid and classically Gladwell argument: that indiscriminate firebombing brought a swift end to the war, and its attendant philosophical innovations continue to envelop us in a blanket of security that has not been adequately appreciated.
[The Baffler]In 1968, he [Lemay] would join forces with segregationist George Wallace as the vice-presidential candidate on his “American Independent Party” ticket, a fact literally relegated to a footnote in Gladwell’s book. This kind of omission is par for the course in The Bomber Mafia. While Gladwell constantly reminds the reader that the air force leadership was trying to wage more effective wars so as to end all wars, he cannot help but shove under the rug that which is inconvenient.

"Why is he up there doing all this and acting like the President? Why can't somebody stop it? This is driving me crazy!" Driving, lady? You're waaaay off the map.
Lin Wood states that Trump is still the president and that the military would call on him “for the code if they need a first strike.” He also states he believes Trump signed the Insurrection Act in secret. pic.twitter.com/8eA5e1VPER
