Science & Economics. It’s lonely being a Classical Liberal.

@BigDave @FutureFetish007 @Noahpinion Sounds like you're hoping we settle for hiring dogshit.

I'm hiring the best, American or immigrant. Since Americans make up 5% of the world's population, 95% of the top talent lies outside our shores.

@anish_koka @statnews He's a hack. Good riddance.

Honestly can't be overstated how much this is true. The staffer/activist class is basically all made up of (well off) hyper-online, Bernie/Warrenites whose priorities are just completely out of touch with the average voter. Even the average Dem base voter.

@RxRegA @VPrasadMDMPH He's so fucking done, that whackjob.

My guess is that RFK got bored of Vinay sucking his dick.

@RxRegA Up yours you fucking toad.

Hillary Clinton was asked: “Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this committee?"

Her answer is amazing!

@RichardHanania Little known fact: if you grease up your balls with beef tallow, no need to do full ROM.

@5060fit The logical conclusion is that playing competitive sports is just not worth it for most people. When you’re 35, who gives a shit your high school football team won the regional championship?

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

The history books quietly bypassed is that Barack Obama, during the most pressure-saturated nights of his presidency, would retreat alone to the Treaty Room on the second floor of the White House residence — not to strategize, not to take calls, but to handwrite personal letters to ten ordinary American citizens every single night, a practice he maintained with almost monastic devotion across all eight years, selecting the letters himself from the 40,000 that arrived daily at the White House, and his longtime correspondence director Fiona Reese confirmed that Obama would often weep privately while reading certain letters, folding them carefully before writing responses so personally detailed and emotionally present that recipients frequently described the experience of receiving them as the most significant moment of their lives, with one Ohio steelworker writing back to say that Obama's letter had physically stopped him from making a decision that would have permanently altered his family's future. What makes this practice almost unbearably moving is the detail that surfaced later — Obama never used a computer for these letters, always a black felt-tip pen, always legal yellow paper first as a draft, always rewritten onto White House stationery by hand a second time, because he believed, as he told historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in a rare private conversation later recounted in her 2018 work, that the physical act of pressing pen to paper forced a quality of attention that typing simply could not replicate, a philosophy rooted in his years as a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago from 1992 to 2004 where he developed the conviction that democracy only functions when its leaders remain genuinely, uncomfortably close to the specific gravity of individual human suffering rather than processing it from behind the insulating distance of institutions and screens."

@rabois @Badhombre What does Trump’s cock taste like Keith?

[BenFranklin00 @BenFSaunders]

@daniel_dsj2110 A weak article. He neglects the combined effects of social media induced hyperpartisanship, and a primary system susceptible to be taken over by extremists.

Not surprising at all he writes from Brussels. Europeans have not yet felt the full brunt of social media. Yet.

[BenFranklin00 @BenFSaunders]

@HistoryBoomer That’s one interpretation. More likely, Trump took it down due to the blowback.

Trump was aware of the contents all along; it’s placed at the end to provide plausible deniability.

[BenFranklin00 @BenFSaunders]

@DaveAlexanderID @NicSD6 @mattyglesias Your statement doesn’t dispute the paper, which I don’t believe argued a causal relationship.

Height thus serves as a useful phenotypic variable for less obvious traits such as IQ, underlying health, and earning potential.

ICE agents arrested a man and assaulted him. He had his hands up wtf is wrong with these people

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

DHS agents in MN swerved in front of an unarmed woman who was recording them, once again WALK IN FRONT OF A CAR with guns drawn. The only thing they've learned from Renee Good is how to get away with killing people. A local cop intervened to stop the illegal arrest!

@BenjaminBadejo why are you consistently a shitbag?

[BenFranklin00 @BenFSaunders]

@nuancerocket It isn't a bad take. That implies Ackman is stupid. He's not.

He's just a horrible human being who believe his immense wealth will shield from the consequence of his actions.
