@ThomasBuckets78 @LinkofSunshine Crazy to watch the Republican Party morph from Lincoln to the party of reparations for white guys who didn’t get into their first choice college.

But I deactivated that account today all the same. Other profiles will be put out of their misery shortly.

A few months back, I set up a business profile on X. Got a few organic followers, but nearly all traffic was bots that, I assume, will eventually drive toward porn or crypto? Or maybe they’re just set up to help Elon convince you his product has value. No clue.

So what happens when China and Japan say “nah” to these tariffs and call on the $2T of our national debt they own?

@DeanCFC_ I don’t know what radar you’re looking at, but we’ve been talking about him endlessly this season.

[Andrew K @OregonAndrewK]

@newerusername @currermell @JoJoFromJerz My point is: he would need a federal-level agency to execute 9 of 10 of his promises, and the other promise dismantles that agency.

[Andrew K @OregonAndrewK]

@newerusername @currermell @JoJoFromJerz And how would he do that?

[Andrew K @OregonAndrewK]

There’s a monster ATCQ album dropping post-election, right? I need this.

[Andrew K @OregonAndrewK]

@currermell @JoJoFromJerz 9 of the 10 points are immediately moot, because getting rid of the federal agency means no federal oversight, which means he can’t deliver on those promises. It’s not about disagreement — it’s about having a grip on reality.

[Andrew K @OregonAndrewK]

@JoJoFromJerz Most red states won’t be able to afford state-driven public education of any quality. It will take massive financial investment, which means raising tons of tax revenues. And really, it’s the red states that are bringing our national averages down, soooo this will be interesting.

@Damaan4u33 I met him in person in 2005. He didn’t offer. We spoke, but he rarely seemed interested. He pointed to the college football stadium and incorrectly said “I own that.” When my mother asked what I thought of him that evening, I said “He’s kind of an idiot.”

[Andrew K @OregonAndrewK]

@DarrigoMelanie When he eliminates the department of education, the other 9 points become moot. All the people saying “isn’t this what you wanted” seem to miss that critical problem. Can’t ensure states do any of these things without federal regulation. Oops.

@AesPolitics1 Creating jobs, even in defeat.

Who cares if the rest of my cost of living goes up by 20-30%, as long as eggs cost $1.89.

@kierangill_DM Chelsea fans will never support their keeper. “From the outside” is the most flawed perspective with this fan base. If we conceded only one goal in a season, half the supporters would call for his firing because we shouldn’t have given up that one.

[Andrew K @OregonAndrewK]

@FirstBanker @JesseAPaul @heidiganahl Why does it take decades of living through electoral cycles for people to understand how elections work?

[Andrew K @OregonAndrewK]

@rprovince87 @KyleClark If you think health care workers don’t have skin in the game, then, no, Ryan, you don’t “respect that.”

We don't need to agree on all the big national issues to look out for one another locally.

Things I learned from running for office this summer/fall: Most people who are really loud about their desire for change won't participate in making that change happens if it requires more than filling a small circle on a piece of paper. 1/

[Andrew K @OregonAndrewK]

A huge reason why D's are afraid of R's is because R's have worked hard to position themselves as "more American" while also making gun ownership a core part of their identity. "I think less of you and look how many lethal weapons I have" is neither charming nor inviting. 9/
