On a day when the Senate has killed the Tangerine 2.0 nominee for head of the CIA, one would think that Paul would write something about that… since he excoriated the Preznint for choosing Pulte — in the first place.
But no, his blather today is all about how unfair is that a woman with wealth who wrote a memoir about her divorce travails, but exaggerated how little wealth she had left, after the divorce…
…wouldn’t be treated the same as a 20 year drug addict who entirely made up characters in his book and events, provoking a very public rebuke from Oprah Winfrey (two decades ago, no less).
Both books were sold as non-fiction so I get the general argument.
And true — the woman telling the divorce story is a well-known whyte heiress. She has lived her whole life in the lap of luxury. [And thus, she did libel and defame her
lawyer / ex-husband who turned out to be a hedge fund manager… also whyte. But that is much more a matter for the civil suit. Should he wish to bring it.]
But it is ridiculous that Paul thinks she is somehow worse than the drug addict of 20 years ago.
All of this wasted ink… is about Paul’s need to complain — curmudgeon that he is — about what he delusionally sees as reverse discrimination.
I just find it too precious by half.
And largely trivial.
Our nation faces many grave threats, and this is how he spends his time.
Charming.
Powerline Lies... 
When oh when will the white man get a break in this country? Sadly, Paul will never see it.
For me, the most egregious line in the entire post was this one:
Oh, really? That literally incredible assertion is so wicked, I’m surprised Paul’s fingers didn’t burst into flames as he was typing it.

It is tragically ironic that he thinks the prison industrial complex is working well — largely because it captures so many people of color (predominantly, Black and brown men).
It is beyond serious argument: he loves the over-incarceration of the people that he wishes to demonize…
Simply… evil.
And… thanks man!

Paul has literally claimed that America, which imprisons a higher percentage of its citizens than any other country in the world (save El Salvador, Turkmenistan, and Cuba—and isn’t that grand company?), has an under-incarceration problem. He truly believes that a whole lot more Americans should be locked up. Permanently.
I can’t imagine living my life as hatefully as Paul Mirengoff does.
