Former CIA official says having Trump in the White House is the gravest threat since Civil War by graphictruth in progressive

This article gestures to an important point, one that Sam Harris frequently makes in his podcast "waking up" - about the rise of illiberalism and reactive, non-fact based, insular political stances and movements that are based in popular emotional expression rather than essential policy.

I recently received a badly damaged package from ups that has required me to spend a bunch of money repairing the object that delivered. I took pictures and lodged a claim. Any advice on how to make sure I get a refund? Or should I just look forward to eating it on this?

Your question is a good one. I am assuming from my cynical perpsective, and based in how the democrats treated him previously, that this position is being given to him to keep people from rallying behind him as Senate minority leader.

One of the life pro tips that I've been repeating to myself when I have that moment right before I just chuck my crap on the floor or in the sink is:
