@glennbeck Trump has literally only been saved by the good grace of the CCP’s willingness to massively curtail China’s domestic oil demand. He is a blundering dumbfuck who Xi just happened to be willing to clean up after
@ThirdWayMattB@KyleKulinski A large audience does tend to represent a meaningful constituency for a message, yes. Something that Third Way lacks outside of corporate boardrooms
Wow, grim news for the KMT: 16% of Americans still hold a principled grudge against Kai-shek. They’re really going to have to pivot their messaging if they want to court the crucial 'Des Moines Campist' demographic before the Iowa Caucuses

Here is @triofrancos explaining the failure of the IRA in three paragraphs better than anyone has explained it, and debunking the entire new wave of "don't talk about climate" left punching bullshit in the process.
@Mike_from_PA The leadership development alone to have a shot at both winning and effectively governing in a high profile elected seat honestly requires years in the trenches. There is no Mayor Zohran without Assemblyman Zohran and organizer Zohran
@sunraysunray At that time, Fairbanks, AK was a mining town of just a few thousand but ended up with several rival socialist papers all viciously warring with each other. We don’t have any socialist publications in Alaska now to the best of my knowledge
“They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.
They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.”
