When you compose an argument, are you trying to get closer to truth and right, or just trying to cause damage to an opponent at any cost?

[Distopos @Distopos]

@ZacharyLevi Turns out you’re wrong.

Marx would be making fun of all of us for seeing Trump as a world-historical individual leader instead of what he really is, a grotesque mediocrity whose rise to dictatorial power is a symptom of structural factors that we have let fester for decades while we pursued profits.

@freedomrideblog Which votes did he have? Do you have a list?

[Distopos @Distopos]

@marcorandazza Except they don’t have to do that. They can vote however they want.

@courtnelc I have absolutely no memory of people wearing anything distinctive in 2003, except “business casual” had made definite inroads over the previous decade.

@AoDespair I’ve been to one Red Sox Yankees playoff game at Fenway and I have to say that, even as an Alabamian, I found the openly racist jeering jarring.

[Distopos @Distopos]

@25thAmendTrump I feel drawn toward a yes.

[Distopos @Distopos]

@EndWokeness So you’re saying he didn’t speak the apostrophe out loud when he referred to the garbage spewed by Trump’s supporters on stage at the rally in New York last night? Which is the obvious reference?

I think you fix this by firing Lewis, publishing the spiked piece, and building a firewall between Bezos and editorial that the guild signs off on; kind of easy and reasonable when you think about it

[Distopos @Distopos]

@JDVance What is obvious is that in fact they voted overwhelmingly for Franklin Roosevelt, the anti-fascist, left-wing candidate.

[Distopos @Distopos]

@RpsAgainstTrump Report it or don’t report it, Mark.

[Distopos @Distopos]

@realmattcarr Yeah, I’d like for @JesseKellyDC to suggest the one big glaring example of an action Barack Obama took that stoked racial tensions for consideration, because nothing’s coming to mind for me either.

@JEHutton @NormOrnstein I suppose you could argue that the offer is for signing the petition, but he makes registration a requirement for that. So it would be like paying somebody to pick up your laundry, but making the offer only to people driving trucks stolen from your neighbor.

[Distopos @Distopos]

@JEHutton @NormOrnstein What is your interpretation of the relevancy of "Whoever[...]pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both", in 52 U.S. Code § 10307(c)?

@Eric_Erins Anyway, it was the 1990s.

[Distopos @Distopos]

@atrupar I guess what I take from this is that incoherence should be disqualifying.

[Steven Rattner @SteveRattner]

Before Hoover passed the Smoot-Hawley tariffs that fueled the Great Depression, 1000 economists petitioned him to veto the bill.

This June, 16 Nobel Economists signed a letter warning against Trump’s economic management — let’s hope history won't repeat itself. @Morning_Joe

@jessesingal Manufacturing fake testimony clearly shows reckless disregard for the truth.
