Nothing to see here.

@Titans The heel rule (that I didn’t know existed till just now) makes zero sense.
Tap your toe and hop out and that’s a catch, but tap your toe and roll your heel on the line and you’re out? How does that make sense?

@cmgarton @GennHutchison Magnolia for me too, easy to climb and a great place to hide!

[David Jeffers @dbjeffers]

@jimzaura @sullydish Good point, and I'm not denying that the exit has been completely botched. I just keep seeing this portrayed as "our last soldier boarded a plane yesterday leaving thousands of civilians behind" and "we gave up the airport" - when in reality it was a temporary security breach.

[David Jeffers @dbjeffers]

@youbewho @rick_raley @varadmehta @Danny_Funaro Except we didn't. There was a breach in security, Afghans stormed the runways, then our troops cleared them out and regained control of the airport (with reinforcements on the way).

@randomoneh @caerbannogkitty @HardcoreHistory I caught it on a plane, so I didn’t get the full experience. But for me it definitely aimed for realism, not romanticism.

So refreshing to hear two people with very different opinions openly discussing ideas. Not a petty debate, no score card needed. It was a nuanced exploration of perspectives. Thanks for doing it and I hope we get a follow up. @kmele @VanLathan

@RolandGiersig @mbeisen @florian_krammer Heavily armed = carrying flags?

@doyleb3620 @Sotenbori1 @VonAloysius @quillacam @mtracey lol, and I'm reading this garbage instead of writing my EOY reviews. Right there with ya.

[David Jeffers @dbjeffers]

@doyleb3620 @Sotenbori1 @VonAloysius @quillacam @mtracey I applaud your patience in this discussion.

@EnswellJones The emotion best expressed with the phrase, "Yeah, that oughta hold. Right?".

@jessesingal Calling someone an idiot = violence? lol

[David Jeffers @dbjeffers]

@ikirigin @benshapiro Except tax rates for the top 10% haven’t increased in lock step with that chart. So this chart is simply showing how the top 10% has earned more and more than the rest of the US over time. Whether you think this is good or bad, it’s counter to the point of the tweet.

@AWierzOne @mattyglesias I highly recommend this podcast. It's not solely focused on your question, but there's a lot of interesting analysis of various policing strategies, costs, and outcomes. https://t.co/FKFJrtQnMk

@_BlackBinLiner @bariweiss Exactly, it sounded like Vice found 3 angry customer service reps, and now we have a viral controversy about a book that no one has actually read yet.

So one time, GOLF magazine asked me to play a round with Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward and write about it. If you don’t know those names, they were two tough-as-nails boxers who fought three hellacious fights against each other and somehow became golf buddies.

@Betweenthe20s @ramon_leon @RBReich I think CA is a perfect example of what’s wrong with the EC. 5.8 *million* people in CA voted for Trump (as many as TX!), but none of those votes counted thanks to the EC.

@bomani_jones Would've been more entertaining if they spent the whole second half just punting to each other.

[David Jeffers @dbjeffers]

@LaconicInvestor @DrBitcoinMD @ericweinstein More like, for 3.5 years “the Russians influenced the election by spreading misinformation online”. Whether or not that’s true, it’s a completely different accusation than saying our actual voting system is rigged.

[David Jeffers @dbjeffers]

@bomani_jones Credit where credit’s due.
