She wants to cancel Thanksgiving because it’s a “painful time” for some Americans.

It cannot be overstated how much the progressives are destroying the Democratic Party.

We have a choice. Jettison the freak show or cede America to Trumpism forever.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Congress is dead.

MAGA has a king.

Republicans killed the Constitution.

If we don’t win in November, democracy in America is over.

Le libéralisme, ce n’est pas que l’économie.
Député des Landes sous la IIᵉ République, Bastiat était un authentique libéral. Il siégeait à la gauche de l'Assemblée constituante. Il y votait régulièrement avec les républicains et la gauche contre les conservateurs. 🧵

Yeah, it's not like you've been a huuuuuge promoter of people spreading the craziest conspiracy theories.

N’empêche, ça fait bizarre de voir l’extrême droite se mobiliser pour empêcher une OQTF d’être exécutée.

1️⃣ Lors de la Gay Pride à Berlin, un militant d’extrême gauche affirme qu’Israël est une immense menace.

2️⃣ Un instant plus tard, un islamiste commet un attentat à la voiture bélier.

Voilà…

Ces idiots utiles pensent être politiquement « éveillés ». Ils sont juste endoctrinés.

[Kraut @The_Davos_Man]

I'm tired of the Chomskyist masochism that underpins the thinking of the far-left. The idea that Western society is inherently evil and at fault for everything

Russia invades Ukraine "Our fault because the West is Evil"
Islamist Terror attack "Our fault because the West is Evil"

Michael Clarke: When people in the States say, "Oh, look how corrupt Ukraine is," I’d say, "First of all, pal, I think Ukraine, objectively, is less corrupt than United States is these days."

You can construct sensible argument, which says: "Ukrainians talk about corruption because it bothers them. You guys have stopped talking about it because it doesn’t bother you anymore. You’ve normalized it."

I think there’s sensible argument to say that Ukraine is less corrupt than the United States.

David Pakman explains why he's not a communist or socialist

"I am a social democrat..I don't believe either system is the best way to maximize human well being and to organize society..and I believe this, looking at empirical historical data and in applying a socioeconomic analysis to these theories"

"I support getting everybody healthcare, strong unions and supportive labor, affordable education that is of high quality, progressive taxation where the wealthiest are taxed, the most serious corporate regulation, and a very strong safety net..I also support private businesses, private ownership of property and the ability to make profit in private industry for a lot of goods and services"

"There is no good reason to eliminate markets, we don't need gov planners deciding..it's completely fine to let companies compete there, let ppl start businesses and own them, test ideas, succeed and fail within the context of the market..social democracy recognizes markets are really useful tools, but markets are not the moral authorities that the right wing believes them to be"

"Socialism and communism in turn usually want to replace private ownership of major industries with worker, public, or state ownership..depending on whether we're talking about a socialist or communist model..and if u preserve socialism against public resistance, u can end up with property seizures, capital controls, restrictions on investment, limits on political opposition..a very serious authoritarian danger..the supposed stateless society requires an extraordinary powerful state"

"We've seen historically..u end up with this new ruling class made up of often corrupt, typically cronyistic and nepotistic party..for me one of the key tenets of leftism is opposing domination..that includes domination by corporations and billionaires..it also includes opposing domination by government or political parties or these self appointed revolutionaries who say I speak for everybody"

The Economist: You have close to 250 million followers on X. You say things like "civil war in Britain is inevitable. Just a question of when"

Elon Musk: On the current trend, yes.

The Economist: When were you last in the UK?

Musk: A few years ago

The Economist: Exactly. I live there. That is nonsense. The numbers also disprove what you say. London is a much safer city than any city in the US. You have painted Europe and the UK as overrun with terrifying Muslim immigrants, there's rape on every corner, there's civilizational destruction.

Musk: I didn't say any of those things.

J'irai tout de même le voir, mais avec moins d'enthousiasme.
Ce qui est fascinant dans le récit de l'Odyssée, c'est justement le défi qu'un simple mortel lance à des forces qui lui sont monstrueusement supérieures.
