When did “never Trump” morph into “only Democrats”? What is conservative about working for Democratic majorities?
With growing ambitions, a hit list: After 'dispatching' President Trump, the pro-Democratic Lincoln Project hopes to 'dispatch' others: Tucker Carlson, Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley, more. 'Our task won't be finished when Joe Biden takes the oath of office.'

Much fact checking is crap. Politifact flagged a story of ours as false. We challenged. It admitted it was out of its depth and backed down.
Frank. Fact-checking is vitally important when you're checking to make sure the facts in your stories are right. But over the past decade, "fact checking" has taken on a different meaning. Read my column from 2008, and comment intelligently on it.

It’s not punishment, collective or otherwise. It’s war. The government of one territory ordered and launched an attack on another. Now the attacked nation is moving to defeat the attacker. You don’t supply power and aid to your enemy.
This is collective punishment and a violation of international law.
We cannot starve nearly a million children to death over the horrific actions of Hamas, whose disregard for Israeli, Palestinian, and human life overall could not be more clear.

You were just as wrong then as now. Hamas, the Gaza government, has just turned down ceasefires both temporary and permanent. That’s not on Israel, it’s on the terrorists.

Yes, presumably there’s always high tension when operating a missile battery, so it can’t be a justification unless it’s always ok to destroy civilian targets accidentally.
The argument that ‘high tensions’ caused Iran to shoot down the Ukrainian passenger jet is nonsense. The fanatics in charge of Iran are both malevolent and incompetent. This regime won’t be cajoled into joining the community of nations. The best option is democratic revolution.
