Weird… | The Roundtable Ep. 230
The lame duck Biden Administration, in its last-ditch effort to leave a mark on US policy, is threatening to pack the Supreme Court. Is court packing a trial balloon for a future attempt by another Democrat administration, a winning policy issue, or a toothless threat? Meanwhile, another viral TikTok trend has been absorbed into mainstream Democrat rhetoric. After all, arguments are hard: why not just sideye people you don’t like, label them “weird,” and call it a day? Plus: James pulls philosophy out of a gigachad meme. The editors break down the news (and the memes) before reminding you to read the damn site.
