If we’re going to talk about a presidential candidate’s age and mental competency, his trouble even forming basic sentences, then let’s do it. But Biden isn’t the guy we’re talking about here.

Roll the tape!

Author @NaomiAKlein gets confused all the time with right-wing conspiracist Naomi Wolf… so Klein used her latest book project to chart her doppelganger’s – and millions of other Americans’ – descent into far-right horseshoe politics:

Though some rioters were convicted of “seditious conspiracy,” legal scholar Michael McConnell says that’s “totally different” than insurrection.
@IlyaSomin disagrees - he says it’s obvious: “It was an insurrection against the Constitution and against the United States.”
