"I don't see what your question about sinus problems has to do with genocide" is a terrific answer.

Minister of A.I. is a great job for a hack of Evan Solomon’s magnitude.

The liberal arts academic in me is screaming. This is why we all should learn history and literature and art, to nurture the cognitive skills that allow us to think broadly across all the human endeavors that make and shape our culture and society. These people are intellectually anemic.

Prior to dropping out, Joe Biden's own internal polling had him losing to Trump by over 400 electoral votes.
