NOLA Phile

I'm just one of many who love this unique city nestled in a crescent of the Mississippi River in the steamy, swampy Gulf South of the U.S.

@whignewtons Good God! You read Jeffrey Rosen and yet you still don’t get it. Trump’s appeal is not strength and greatness, which rest in virtue, but about cruelty, abuse, and bullying. Trump is a more venal and ignorant Aaron Burr than he is a Washington or a Jefferson.

@whignewtons Says the person who calls herself a “Unitarian” absolutist in hiring/firing, and mostly a “Unitarian” re: wide discretionary latitude on managing the purse. No one has made it harder for “Congress” to “do your job” than “Unitarian” apologists like you. Think on that.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@whignewtons I beg to disagree. I will like it simply because my blue vote in a solid red state will matter and my confidence in the justice and equity of elections will be stronger. That’s what matters most.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@Act_Forward @JonahDispatch Your childish insult about literacy aside, I will engage you honestly here. It seems that the way you speak of the “left” here as a monolithic group precludes any consideration or understanding that some leftists know and approach Trump supporters earnestly and in good faith.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@Act_Forward @JonahDispatch Do you not see the irony in your post? You just straw-manned massive groups of people (i.e. the “left”) yourself. Seems like this “ridiculous and nasty habit” you complain about is not ideologically exclusive. Maybe you could do with some “habit unlearning” yourself.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@cenkuygur Kinda bullshit. You just don’t like any pushback from left leaners who deign to disagree with you. But rest assured the broad left tolerates you even when your hubris shines. Welcomes you, even! Your anarcho-sindicalist populism would never be platformed on the right.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@whignewtons At the 5:30 mark, what do you mean by Trump taking a risk w/ SCOTUS and hope that the result of the court’s decision in the Tennessee transgender case would “make good law”? Sounds to me like legislating from the bench.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@mkhammer You don’t “have to” do anything. Now, if you want to do something, how about just saying what you think about his comments, not his critics? That would be enough, unless you are really just looking for an excuse to defend him.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@whignewtons Love AO, but you are not moderate. You arrive at your “moderate” positions from a conservative line of reasoning. It’s not where you land that makes you a moderate, but how you get there that would do so. And you always take the conservative road.

@KaareJohnson @goTULANEt @GreenWaveFB @TulaneAthletics @Tulane @TUFitts Tulane does not have an enrollment of 25,000 students subsidized by public funds, and as massive an alumni base produced by this inequality. Tulane cannot “compete” at the level you think it needs to without impoverishing all the non-athletic things that make it a school.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@KaareJohnson @goTULANEt @GreenWaveFB @TulaneAthletics @Tulane @TUFitts I thought this was a football competition, not a facilities competition nor an arms race. The facilities are fine. The necessary armament is top notch. Good football doesn’t need individual heated massage chairs in the locker room for each player? Where does it stop?

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@EdKrassen It really doesn’t matter whether he bought it or not. The fact that he said publicly that he wanted to buy it, knowing he was under indictment, is one more example of his contempt for the rule of law.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

@DavidAFrench In other words, a cult. I would suggest that the “joy” you speak of is perverse and comes from the titillating (to them) bullying and dehumanizing attitudes that result from their shared rage. It’s psychotic, frat boy hazing “fun” and is unmoored from reason and decency.

@Joe_Burrow10 Prof. Mann & any La. citizen are entitled to the fruits of your labor because you’re an out of state student getting a free education that our state tax dollars are helping to pay for. In short, as long as you “work” for LSU, the citizens of La. are your boss, hoss.

[NOLA Phile @nolaphile22]

Love NOLA.

@BikingOnBaronne The bike lane should be on Rampart, not Baronne. There's more space on Rampart and less traffic congestion. Why Baronne?
