Is there an analysis of the positions of the incoming House Dems? I'm curious if there are more Pelosi-style centrists or if we could be potentially be looking at a Democratic version of the Freedom Caucus.

So for the first time I had somebody call me an NPC online. What's a good method, for if this happens in person, to not beat the poo poo out of such a person? Because I'm afraid I might do that and I'd rather not do that.

Calling someone an NPC means they've gone past "normal" Trumpism into full-blown Internet fash. Beating the poo poo out of them is your patriotic duty, comrade.

Saudi Arabia has far more money and power than Bezos. They straight up murdered a US resident in plain sight on the international stage and got away with it. They have an army with US-built weapons, aircraft, etc. Bezos has a newspaper and some toys. AMI is just a pawn in this game.

I highly doubt that Saudi Arabia is going to try to assassinate Bezos. I also doubt they're going to try and defend AMI if Bezos goes after them.

AOC was always eventually going to fail a purity test because that's the reality of politics. But she's failing on something that's so easy to have the correct stance on and her failure feeds into the conservative weaponization of anti-semitism. That's why she's is and deserves to be getting dragged.

It strikes me as one of those things that there's not an enforcement mechanism for because something something checks and balances. The FBI isn't going to raid the White House for documents.
