The "glaring omission" is any notice of the work of @Phil_Johnson_, Frank Turk, and myself at Pyromaniacs. We gave pointed and timely pushback which, had it been heeded, would have prevented the disaster. It was ignored then, and this thread makes no note of it. Check it out:…

J Mac’s unimpressed face as Newsom is listing all his religious credentials is so wonderful and classic MacArthur. Oh how I will miss him.
