@benshapiro What an ass.

@maxg_econ 😅

Judge Barrett says: We knew our family would be attacked. We knew our faith would be attacked. Why should I say no and expect someone else to do the hard work?

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Off to a great start. Senator Harris might just have given the most disingenuous, dishonest first answer I’ve ever seen by a major candidate in a national debate, and that’s saying something.

[Max Gulker @maxg_econ]

Internet free speech has high costs and we have to self police to make it work--i.e. be tougher on the idiots on "our own side" than others. So exactly this. And more of it.

@GovBillWeld @realDonaldTrump The mere fact that you can write the phrase “ethical, innocent public official” answers whatever questions you might have in your mind about why you failed as a Libertarian POTUS candidate.

[Fritz Machlup @FritzMtar262]

@GovBillWeld @realDonaldTrump “ethical, innocent public official” is an oxymoron.

[Fritz Machlup @FritzMtar262]

@JonahDispatch “Heil”, as in... you know.

[Max Gulker @maxg_econ]

And if you don’t hate him imagine this in the hands of the next one you hate. Only one way to fix this outside of a win for the left or right. Cut the power.

[Fritz Machlup @FritzMtar262]

@AOC You are correct to connect the dots between poverty and crime. But don’t neglect to connect the dots between the failed “Great Society” welfare programs that institutionalized poverty.

@JonahDispatch The GOO under a Trump has pretty much lost its soul. Reagan would be very disappointed, I think.

[Fritz Machlup @FritzMtar262]

@PerBylund @jeffreytucker 😂

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

And consider this irony: the police were going after George Floyd for passing counterfeit money while the Federal Reserve has spent three months printing trillions of dollars and buying everything in sight.

[Fritz Machlup @FritzMtar262]

@JonahDispatch @realDonaldTrump @JoeNBC That the GOP is supportive of @realDonaldTrump and the Democrats are supportive of @JoeBiden is a nauseating indictment of both parties.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Other than the grossness of @realDonaldTrump desperately insinuating @JoeNBC is a murderer, and the grossness of his fans not caring, the part I find most fascinating is the notion that he thinks doing so will help him get re-elected.

[John Joyce @JohnJoyceForPA]

Thank you, Mr. President! It’s my privilege to serve.

[Max Gulker @maxg_econ]

Say this stuff, be the thoughtful caring guy you are, and don��t worry about the votes. If people hear this in the right way you’ll do more good for the world than they’d let you do in the White House right now. Still have my vote.

[Fritz Machlup @FritzMtar262]

I rarely agree with @AOC, but she’s right on this and I appreciate her nonpartisan stance.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I don’t care what party you’re in. This is unacceptable.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

Each day is more insane than the last. If we manage to preserve peace and functioning in these times, it will be the greatest tribute to social adaptability in my lifetime. That's the ironic lesson of this thing. Society works. As for politics...

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

You are for socialism, the state determining whether you can work or not, what you can do, where you can go, what is essential and unessential, dictating prices, telling private enterprise what they must produce, what risks you can take? This is socialism.
