“I hate moral equivalent of war arguments. They are an attempt to short-circuit democratic debate by bullying people into compliance with a collective enterprise, whether they agree with it or not” @JonahDispatch @TheDispatch #GFile https://t.co/hWdQvXvYBw

“Call me a defender of structural fatphobia if you must, but burning down the village of Western Civilization to save the self-esteem of people who shop at Big and Tall shops seems like a pretty steep price.” @JonahDispatch #GFile @TheDispatch https://t.co/Ck0ApezgD2

“#Israel is a symbol of confidence, and many hate it for it. Its success, and its refusal to apologize for it, mark it out as an insult to the failures of its neighbors.” @Jonahdispatch @TheDispatch #GFile https://t.co/rEnfxZzRLT

2/4 @jonahdispatch: “When I wrote the #Gfile on what was the single most Burkean line in #AnimalHouse, it was signaling that I was trying to come up with a syncretic mix of what is great about conservatism & @nro, but also translating to a vernacular for a new generation…”

“this American president is happy to show spinal steel condemning a bunch of bigoted chuds with tiki torches, but is desperate to show spinal flexibility when it comes to far more numerous bigots in his own coalition.” @JonahDispatch #GFile @TheDispatch https://t.co/frbPn7oYLX

“as bad as our leadership problem is, our followership problem is worse. I am not a fan of Joseph de Maistre—a great critic of democracy in all forms—but he had a point when he said people get the government they deserve” @JonahDispatch #GFile @TheDispatch https://t.co/MNoqSibueA

“Lots of presidents have wanted to curry favor with unions. But the president is supposed to at least nominally be neutral in labor disputes, not least because he appoints the members of the NLRB, which is supposed to be independent.” @JonahDispatch #GFile https://t.co/YSSkqKYAqs

The venerable @JonahDispatch writes a compelling @thedispatch column (#GFile) recently in which he references ages and presentations (how people might not "present" their actual age). It's a tangential point in the column, but hey. Here's Bea Arthur, as Maude, at 47. Jesus.

“I can respect the case for totally uninhibited speech. But what everyone understands is that these schools do not in any way, shape, or form actually believe in uninhibited free speech.” @Jonahdispatch @TheDispatch #GFile https://t.co/y1MQA6KSdA

“‘Apparently,’as my friend @CliffordAsness—one of those former donors—notes, ‘not voluntarily donating is coercion’ now. Also, paying attention to what faculty members say is now ‘surveilling.’” @JonahDispatch, @TheDispatch #GFile https://t.co/gDItc5yStv

YEesh, @JonahDispatch! Possibly the most puckishly pseudo-insouciant, indeed boisterously bordering on obstreperous, #GFile headline of the year. https://t.co/A7Q4erh8aC

@BlueHammer5 @JonahDispatch @LighthouseTrib Below. BTW, you get TWICE the number of #GFile if you become a paid subscriber at @thedispatch, as while as much else, like a meaty "Morning Dispatch" news digest early A.M. weekdays that covers everything you need to know in one tight read. https://t.co/zTQJbZycH6

I’m pretty sure @JonahDispatch knew who he was referring to here: “…Like the runza peddler said at the Cornhusker game, let’s just circle back to Sen. Hruska.” #Gfile

Although lamentably few, there are some good takes on #LizVsTheLiar. Unsurprisingly, @JonahDispatch had one of the best. #gfile https://t.co/xpkRITSdMf
