"Mitch McConnell Says Joe Biden is Already Making Serious Errors as President"
...Yes, and? It's fucking Mitch McConnell, what the fuck else is he gonna say about literally any democratic president we could have possibly gotten? What's your next headline gonna be, Newsweek? "This Just In: Sky Blue! Water Wet! Science Indicates Grass Also Green?"
re: uspol, dunking on headlines without linking
@LexYeen Yeah. It's like interviewing Al Capone about Eliot Ness. You might get a SLIGHTLY less than objective evaluation. -_-
Of course, the metaphor isn't quite perfect, given this is Mitch, until Capone's in some pretty advanced neurosyphilis stages. :p

@zebratron2084 Given these responses, I have to ask: Have you had the pleasure of listening to Robert Evans discussing the various and sundry bastards of history?
re: uspol, dunking on headlines without linking
@LexYeen NO. I WANT THIS. <3

Behind the Bastards has been focused on more current events recently, as well as historical bastards relevant to or influential on current events, but the back catalog is full of gems - as indicated.
