Pot, kettle, black.



What's telling to me is that you have more enthusiasm for criticizing these less circumspect colleagues of the establishment voices than you do for saying anything about paramilitary federal officers disappearing protestors off the streets of Portland. One is a real, actual, ongoing threat to free speech -- a cancel culture, if you will, to make GGG's point so obvious that you can't miss it.

What it’s telling you is what I wrote — that the Harper’s signatories are no doubt writing against what’s happening in Portland. The only difference is they’re doing so in a thoughtful fashion, which is more effective.
