@simonsarris @JesseTayRiver I would buy a manual that essentially just consisted of a list of likely maintenance needs and checks. I would buy it as a gift, too, for friends getting married.

@NotYourBishop I'm not sure where the lines are being drawn in this argument.

Did Lucifer not threaten to (1) destroy the agency of man (2) to save everyone, (3) and demand the glory of that for himself?

[Chris Bahr @ThirdBahr]

@zenpundit I get it. I just think that this is easily un-given as needed.

[Chris Bahr @ThirdBahr]

@zenpundit Tbf if Trump gets the vibe Russia's holding out he can say the opposite tomorrow and aid will resume.

Everything depends on what signals Trump is looking for and what he really wants.

Charles Lister is promoting the leader of al-Qaeda in Syria as Che Guevara-like in an effort to have Hayat Tahrir al-Sham's (rebranded AQ) designation as a terrorist organization lifted.

Who in 2001 could've imagined that al-Qaeda would have a lobbyist in Washington DC in 2019?

The most under-discussed story in the world is Chinese illegal fishing destroying worldwide ocean ecosystems one by one

It's so sad that campaign spending determines outcomes.

@MiddleearthMixr If he just rotated/flipped it a bit you wouldn't even notice.

There's always an elite.

We need a *better* one.

People playing Victoria 3 have discovered a problem.

People often think China is huge, but its actually smaller than Florida

@MavenPolitic The truth is that cognitive decline manifests unevenly - there are good days and bad days, and as the process continues there are simply more and more bad days.

[Chris Bahr @ThirdBahr]

@JAEbberts Joke's on you I was gonna tell you to ignore the vote regardless.

[The Middle-earth Mixer @MiddleearthMixr]

oh joy there’s a presidential debate tomorrow

[James' dog. @WestminsterPup]

Cutting immigration would only alleviate 97% of the housebuilding shortfall.

Take that, Farage.

[Bennett's Phylactery @extradeadjcb]

The observation of a good implies a disparagement of its absence, if it matters at all

You cannot say "the Church is God's kingdom" without disparaging others who make a competing claim

The only way you can express that truth politely is to let the corollary go without saying

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

No president should be older than Harris Ford was in “Air Force One” in case he needs to personally fight terrorists.

[silenced frankish patriot 🇫🇷 @obamabishounen]

yet another biden move that wouldve looked really stupid if the world hadnt already accepted that he just lies for no reason sometimes. literally admits the aircraft carriers are a bluff but its fine because nasrallah has no idea if its just joe being joe again

[Swann Marcus @SwannMarcus89]

I love how the implication of this is that the Gaza Strip is a land of laws where people accused of homosexuality are charged in a court of law under the British Mandate Criminal Code of 1936

Like Hamas are legalistic sticklers and aren't just murdering people without trial
