@yashalevine@wideofthepost So, never had to stay in NYC. Any time I was there I had friends in Jersey. I live in Alabama. My employer paid ~$300 a night for a week I was teaching a class at a stupidly nice hotel/golf course. How does this compare?
@yashalevine putting paid to another imperial power for a few years now. The geopolitics of who’s supporting Iran now is as messy as it’s ever been. Almost as messy as the geopolitics of who’s supporting Trump. This is survival.

TAPPER: No. It was 2008. The US attorney at the time was a guy named Alex Acosta. He was a Bush appointee. He went on to become Trump's secretary of labor
MULLIN: Who was in office at the time?
TAPPER: George W Bush
MULLIN: No. 2009 was when the case came out, and Obama was in office at the time

It's true Hulk Hogan was a cartoonishly racist union-busting snitch, but it's not fair to make that his *whole* entire legacy. There has to be some space to also talk about that sh*t he did to Richard Belzer
I think this has been the most elegant, the most mindblowing book I have read in the last couple of years. A truly fundamental change in how you view history;
