They say the Eskimo developed 50 words for “snow” because, as it was such a pervasive and perilous aspect of their daily existence, subtle distinctions mattered greatly.

The English language has 456 synonyms for “bullshit.”

Infer.

tariffs will raise massive amounts of revenue off of imports, enough to replace the income tax, but also they'll foster a boom in domestic industry—precisely by deterring imports 🤔

[The Morologist @themorologist]

call me weird but I don't think the president should have the power to impose large, wide-sweeping tariffs with no input from congress 🤷‍♂️

meh. probably not a violation if it's a random draw after the fact, and at least it isn't dependent on how people voted. the lottery to encourage people to sign the petition against "activist judges" was worse

[The Morologist @themorologist]

eh. to enforce the law is one thing, but for those in charge to delight in suffering, to make a mockery of it, is kinda distasteful

[The Morologist @themorologist]

I think I'd have a harder time pointing to cuts that I've agreed with 🫤

Musk: But, usually when they attack DOGE, they never attack any of the specifics. So they will say what we're doing is somehow unconstitutional or illegal or whatever. We are like well, which line of the cost savings do you disagree with? And they can't point to any

@ankushnarula when it's done to entice political participation to a particular side, yeah I think that's a distortion of the democratic process. Not really any better than buying signatures outright

[The Morologist @themorologist]

this is gross. it might be legal, but it shouldn't be

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Exciting to announce our first million dollar award for supporting our petition against activist judges in Wisconsin!

Next million dollar award will be announced in 2 days.

"war plans," "attack plans"—either way, it was definitely classified information on plans for the strike

[The Morologist @themorologist]

when all else fails, argue semantics 🙄

[Taylor Budowich @Taylor47]

The Atlantic has already abandoned their bullshit “war plans” narrative, and in releasing the full chat , they concede they LIED to perpetuate yet ANOTHER hoax on the American people.

What scumbags!
