America started a decided downward trajectory when Pokémon cards replaced baseball cards in the zeitgeist.

@savanarola5 @FormerlyCBM I wish more people discussing public policy bloviated on the Constitution.

@DrSmurfer Do you also do George Raft?!

@DerLutheraner I had dropped NR a few months ago (not in protest or anything), and I was thinking maybe I’d missed something in the meantime. So I was going to do the same research later to check it. No big deal - we probably agree after all that. That’s Twitter in a nutshell!

This tweet would have been more effective and true if it just stopped at “thing.”

I kind of don’t want to hear a damn thing about “economics” from people whose expert preferred policies led to an expensive war of choice putting another several hundred billion on the credit card, and a dangerous depletion of our stockpiles. These people couldn’t steward a two card baseball card collection without killing a thousand civilians, causing a refugee crisis and devaluing the general currency.

@wrowclif @prairie_posie Yeah, we have about three days after peonies bloom to get them in the house and enjoy them.

@DerLutheraner He’s constantly offering the contrarian take on their podcast. When he gets into a real debate with Charlie Cooke, it’s painful to listen to. NR has always allowed a variety of takes under their tent, which is great, but I don’t consider MBD anywhere near the middle of that tent.

@DerLutheraner So you think MBD is an NR-style conservative. I disagree.

[Ahhh_Bach @Ahhh_Bach]

@DrSmurfer @jayaygum It’s coming from the top. The US needed someone to come in and flip off the establishment, and got it - but it would have been preferable if it had not been someone who loved to run around flipping off everyone he saw.

[Ahhh_Bach @Ahhh_Bach]

@DerLutheraner MBD cares about conservative economics as much as Trump cares about just war theory. He’s using it as a convenient tool to leverage everyone’s rightful disgust with the Iran war into an argument against conservative economics. If a war is right, it’s worth $. If not, it’s not.

[Ahhh_Bach @Ahhh_Bach]

@DrSmurfer @jayaygum Sadly, I suspect many of the kids that would have leaned conservative have probably dismissed the idea by now. A 25-year-old wasn’t even paying attention to politics the last time “conservative” leaned toward anything intellectual.

[Ahhh_Bach @Ahhh_Bach]

@DerLutheraner I can imagine overlap between the topics, but I think refusing to consider an argument on one topic because someone has a bad take on another topic is a bad way to approach policy, which has never stopped MBD before.

Here’s lookin’ at you, kid bro.

[Philip Nation @philipnation]

Famous quotes but add “bro” to the end of it.

[Ahhh_Bach @Ahhh_Bach]

@DerLutheraner Right about which topic? The one he is addressing (economics) or the completely unrelated topic on which basis he judges the first topic?

@jeremylatzke A lot of the famous lopsided trades in history were thought to be lopsided at the time — but in the opposite direction!
