Biden's dementia and age

We hear about that "issues before the court" claim a lot but ProPublica investigated this recently and couldn't find any evidence of it being true. Maybe you could enlighten us?

Perhaps it’d be better if you ‘explained’ to us what propublica said…

You can read it yourself if you're interested, https://www.propublica.org/article/c...20with%20Crow. although you'll have to go way down near the end of their detailed investigation to see the brief statement "ProPublica has not identified any legal cases that Huizenga, Sokol or Novelly had at the Supreme Court during their documented relationships with Thomas, although they all work in industries significantly impacted by the court’s decisions."

Again, perhaps you have additional information to share?

Maybe I'm too sensitive but this constant emphasis on the dire consequences of being older just magnifies our cultural obsession with youth.

old people making significant contributions to their communities and our society = good thing

old people running this country in top positions= not a good thing

we can have two thoughts simultaneously about old people

Really good Remnant podcast today where Jonah Goldberg attacks this weird belief that the survival of America as we know it depends on the next election. It’s called “Take a Deep Breath”.

I’ll take a listen to this. I like Jonah a lot but I don’t generally like his talking show.

The National Review Editors podcast is pretty good this week. I heard that Marco Rubio referred to the state of the union as the “proof of life speech”.

Curious that your quote exonerating the DEI doesn't mention Harlan Crow, the DEI's maximal sugar daddy. I wish I had someone that would've bought my Momma's house and let her live there rent free forever. And bought me an RV. And taken me on nice vacations. I'm sure he did all that just because he's a really generous dude and not because he and his business entities had business before the court...

I'm sure that would be easy enough to check although I suspect maintaining the narrative, outside of facts, might be more valuable to the Thomas haters.

AndI’m sure you can discount the facts presented in the propublica article in the same way you can discount the facts from that sad senator from Alabama. Not with truth but with strongly held believes.

I’m confused about what you think JP. Is DEI placement in jobs, political positions, etc. a good thing in your mind or not?

In this particular case it's Uncle Tom on the supreme court. He absolutely would be a big fat sad nobody if he hadn't been a black man with a fancy pants law degree despite his mediocre grades in law school. If Thurgood Marshall hadn't died at the right (wrong?) time we would be fortunate to have never heard of his sorry ass.
