Democrats are declaring war on Facebook's enormous power. How amazing that it's very dangerous for the Democratic Party to take on just one business and its billionaires, but their renegade power has become an existential threat to democracies around the planet. Regulation and taxation are coming for you, schmucks.

We live in too-interesting times. A little boredom instead of giant threats on even one front would be nice.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
