Start with the groom, Donald Trump, the man who once wondered why in the world we make nuclear weapons if we can’t use them; who wouldn’t rule out using nukes, even in Europe; who insisted that a president should be “unpredictable” on the subject; who suggested that it...]]></description><wfw:commentRss>https://www.unz.com/cjohnstone/new-issue-of-johnstone-tech-dystopia-in-the-shadow-of-the-empire/feed/</wfw:commentRss><slash:comments>15</slash:comments></item><item><title>Rebecca Gordon: One Weekend a Month, My A**, by Tom Engelhardt</title><link>https://www.unz.com/tengelhardt/rebecca-gordon-one-weekend-a-month-my-a/</link><comments>https://www.unz.com/tengelhardt/rebecca-gordon-one-weekend-a-month-my-a/#comments</comments><pubDate>Sat, 09 Feb 2019 22:00:55 +0000</pubDate><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tom Engelhardt]]></dc:creator>		<category><![CDATA[Ideology]]></category>
