@AlexThomp Yes. I remember when all those republican voters went into the streets to protest Israel on October 8, one day after the wanton slaughter of Jews. Nothing but Republicans out there saying “globalize the intifada”
@DamonLinker@EggerDC I disagree. It’s not a fair point because once you accept degenerates for high office, you’ve lost the moral high ground to criticize degeneracy. Would you tolerate criticism of Platner’s Nazi tattoo from Nick Fuentes? I wouldn’t
@river_is_nice Ok- but they don’t run for senate or pretend like they’re morally superior because they believe in socialism. Plus, there are plenty of combat vets who are great guys and husbands.
@ScottPresler@jjverdi We’re not electing anyone in May. We’re nominating who we want to go against Talarico. If we nominate Paxton, I think we lose. Texas is not as red as you think. Stop demanding perfection and take the best available outcome. Vote Cornyn
@rwpilgrim67@ScottPresler We’re not picking our next senator. We’re picking who we put up against Talarico. Texas is not as red as you think. Cornyn is the safer bet. And WAY better than Talarico
@DanielLubetzky It’s not true that law enforcement doesn’t wear masks. DEA agents have concealed their identities the whole time you’ve been alive. When people will FOR SURE hunt you in your private life, you deserve protection. An ID number known only by the department is a good idea.
@VanJones68 Ok. I agree that ICE can’t behave arbitrarily, capriciously, or unlawfully. Will you agree that cities and states should stop being sanctuaries for people who are also unlawful? Seems to me like one clearly precedes the other.
@DamonLinker Damon- I rarely agree with you, but I love to read your takes. Hope you had a great holiday, and hope ‘26 is great for you. (Except November)
@river_is_nice The only people who can make that complaint today are Rand Paul and Thomas Massie. Everyone else, left and right, has happily blurred the lines when it’s their guy doing the war.
@coldxman If Thomas Sowell is so influential to your thinking, what stops you from being vocally against leftism in all its forms and not just its extreme forms?
@BriannaWu@BradWilcoxIFS That is part of, but definitely not “the whole story.” Women grow up in a culture that tells them they need to excel in STEM, get careers, and bill as many hours as possible to be happy. That is incompatible with the trajectory Brad is advocating for. No one can “have it all”
@EliLake Can the government keep him out based on his speech? Everyone seems to agree that, yes, they can. If so, why can’t the government revoke his permission to be here based on speech? Maybe we need to wait until he actually does the terrorism? The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
