It actually depends whether the quote contains the entirety of the question or if the sentence containing the quote also is a question.

The Economist regularly places end punctuation outside the quotation marks. It drives me nuts. Clearly, it’s an alternate convention, not an error (because it’s consistent). But I hate it.

Just like with dildos, anything can be an alternate convention if you're brave enough.

You probably insist on using Oxford commas too.

"Journalism" is where grammar and punctuation go to die.

And this whole thing about en-dashes and em-dashes being indicative of AI usage can get fucked.  That's just lazy analysis by people who have no idea how to use those punctuation tools.

Nicki Minaj. Folks that moron is part of why we get in situations like this. She couldn’t count to potato, but there she is grifting right alongside our Secretary of Grifting. Nuke the whole apparatus. I am so sick of all these them. A bunch of uneducated clowns getting the poor in spirit and money to go along with messages like that.

That's why I ignore them.  Who the fuck cares about any of these folks.  Show them the respect they deserve but ignoring them and not posting about them.

She has turned into a walking meme, she is getting dunked on over and over and over online.

Could be that she is self-aware and realizes that in today’s political culture, nobody will give a shit about her 3 months from now, if not 3 weeks from now, and she’s gotta grab whatever she can.

She is also watching TPUSA turn into a civil war between those who hate Jewish people and Israel and those who don’t, and TPUSA may not survive that, because speaking ill of the Jewish people and Israel is a big no-no among certain groups on the right.  

They want to push it in Texas high schools and many of us are going to push back and ask why they want an organization that gives a voice to those who hate Jews/Israel.
