A Nugget of Truth
Ink Stained Wretches
The Importance of Story Selection
The Washington Post did the umpteenth in-depth profile of Casey DeSantis. She's not a typical political spouse, but aren't we sort of past that? Why does that inspire so much fear? And yet the whole profile plays into the same old tropes. It does not push back against them.
We’re going big for Grimace’s birthday today on Ink Stained Wretches. We’re sipping on some purple shakes while breaking down the Hunter Biden coverage, Brett Baeir’s interview with Trump, Robert Kennedy and much more.
