  • Cohen, a Memphis Democrat who is retiring from his 9th District House seat, cited what he said were multiple abuses of power, violations of his oath of office, the corrupt use of the pardon power and emoluments clause violations by the president.

    He acknowledged the impeachment bid would likely fall short, but said he was sending a message about standing up to the president.

    “I know they won’t go anywhere, but I’m not going to stop standing up for my constituents and for democracy,” Cohen said in an interview with Nexstar.

    Cohen also introduced articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017.


  • If you rolled “1”:

    1. Read the article.

    2. Find and quote the weakest sentence. Must be tangential to the main thesis.

    3. Say “This makes me not want to read the article.”

    If you rolled “2”:

    1. Do not read the article.

    2. SF Bay Area humble brag: “This reminds me of the time I met Steve Jobs…”

    If you rolled “3”:

    1. Open with “I have a doctorate in point-set topology. This is utter nonsense.”

    2. Fail to explain the concept correctly.

    If you rolled “4”:

    1. “You no longer need to pay for software. I just spin up an agent swarm.”

    2. Your token budget is $7,000 a day.

    If you rolled “5”:

    “I agree that the emergence of the techno-surveillance state is appalling. But as the lead of facial recognition at Flock, I just don’t know what a single person can do.”

    If you rolled “6”:

    “I browse with HTML disabled. This site did not load for me.”
















  • A RAND report discussing hypothetical ways to pressure Russia is not evidence that the U.S. secretly planned and initiated Russia’s invasion. An opinion article by one strategist in 2021 is not a declaration of NATO policy. Chomsky, Kennan, Matlock, and a 1997 open letter can all argue that NATO expansion was strategically unwise without establishing that Ukraine forfeited its sovereignty or that Putin was compelled to invade.

    You’re also confusing “this policy might provoke a reaction” with “the reaction was caused by the policy and is therefore justified.” Those are not the same sentence, no matter how much links you attach to them.
