Vox likes to alternate between articles it knows will enrage its liberal readership and articles it knows will terrify its liberal readership. Like most media outlets, its bias is pageviews.

Secretly force socialism, communism and imperialism types of government onto the people of the United States of America.

Here is the Shkreli indictment. courtesy of the Gothamist.

At the time of this representation, MSMB Capital did not have an independent auditor or administrator, and SHKRELI had lost through trading the approximately $700,000 that had been invested by the four Capital Limited Partners. In fact, as of November 30, 2010, the value of assets in MSMB Capital's bank and brokerage accounts totaled approximately $700.

Wunderkind, indeed.

I was thinking about the old saying that democrats fall in love while republicans fall in line... doesn't it seem like the opposite is happening this election?

Yes, I posted about that months ago. The Democratic and Republican parties have drifted over into each other's place this election. Traditionally, Democrats supported the grassroots candidate against the establishment and Republicans the establishment against the grassroots.

Now, the establishment runs the Democratic party and the grassroots the Republican. This is something that pundits like Nate Silver have failed to realize.

Cafe is all satire. They are mocking pundits, writers, and horse race coverage, so that you are laughing at the character rather than with him is a sign they are doing their job well.

They play the long game on their humor (eg the Carl storyline is like 3 ongoing months now) rather than individually humorous articles like The Onion. Think more SA, less Borowitz.
