@MarioNawfal Are you saying he shouldn’t have been prosecuted?

Gavin should go first.

21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

@gatorgar How about we also look back in time at all the things we have accepted as truths and reevaluate those too. I’ll go first. Watergate. Kennedy. Yalta. Great Society. New Deal. Just asking.

[John Asher Thompson @JAsherT2]

@RandPaul Right.

[John Asher Thompson @JAsherT2]

@PeterSchiff @SenAdamSchiff Valid points. But beside the point. The grift is the point.

@nothereasof2022 @EsotericCD I don’t know Tom and I stopped reading after two paragraphs. Clearly I should have finished it before commenting.

@TonySeruga Closer to 100 years experiment. It just took the bureaucratic elite 50 years to knock off education too.

[John Asher Thompson @JAsherT2]

@madham1787 @EsotericCD Ha, you’re right. That’s what I get for stopping after the first two paragraphs.

@great_martis Charts are certainly important. But now overlay respective corporate profits and capital expenditures and see what you come up with.

Every time a friend succeeds I die a little. —Gore Vidal. With that humiliating confession about human nature Vidal nails the essence of Communist, and now apparently Democrat Party, ideology. Stoking envy masked as virtue for personal gain is the sum total of Bernie Sanders’ message. And it’s why communism will never work for the species (while working quite well for charlatans like Bernie and AOC.)

@Rothmus @BriannaWu Narcissus old as time. Social media is the added propellant.

@DavidSacks @johnkonrad Funniest line of the post, intended or not: It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.

@elonmusk That’s a more benign reading than what has actually happened in the west.

A core tenet of the materialist philosophy that has ruled the west for 160 years is that there is no such thing as evil.

That is much more dangerous.

@EndWokeness Nithya channeling that great California QB Joe Montana. Dems are obviously best when chips are down post election.

[John Asher Thompson @JAsherT2]

@akafaceUS Curious if this correlates more to CA’s plummeting math scores or its ascending lawlessness.

@Zigmanfreud The way Los Angeles counts votes. Elaborate please

[John Asher Thompson @JAsherT2]

@BuckSexton Only got 1/3 of it right.

@elonmusk Can we clean up the cities on earth first?
