Not going to delete my account because there are still a few holdouts on here I don't want to completely let go of (plus some non-political stuff) but given how unpleasant of an experience its become of late, I'm not going to be here often anymore. See you at the other place
The way you can spot the charlatans is 1/ the obsession over Biden’s mental fitness but the belief that Trump is a model of acuity, and 2/ the silence over relentless Russian & North Korean escalation paired with the insistence that Biden sit on his hands for two months.
An octogenarian who cannot be trusted with the job of POTUS, who suffers from obvious mental disorders, yet is miraculously mentally fit enough to majorly escalate hostilities with a nuclear power a few days before he relinquishes his lame duck office. Sounds like a plan.
Following Jon's advice would mean that Democrats should have rejected the civil rights movement in the 1960s. You can't just take whatever stances are popular, you also have to work to change public opinion on issues of basic justice.
Dems should resist any group or special interest that pressures them to take positions opposed by the electoral majority essential to win, whether that’s big corporations, rich donors, nonprofits, whoever. This isn’t about blaming specific groups for defeat - it’s about what’s…
An under covered story is how GOP politicians fear their physical safety if they defy Trump agenda. A high level MAGA person told me: “They should be afraid. They didn’t win the election. Trump did.”
This is the problem with alliances of alliances of nationalists - at some point it invariably becomes zero sum
🇸🇰🇭🇺"Slovakia could be on track to losing one of its main allies: Hungary. Bratislava’s latest amendment to its language law — which curtails the use of minority languages, including Hungarian — could derail the two countries’ otherwise cozy relationship." politico.eu/article/slovak…
Scholz’s phone call to the Kremlin gives Putin a precious opportunity to lecture and grandstand. Any peace deal in Ukraine must “eliminate the original causes of the conflict,” Putin declared. The original cause of the conflict, of course, is Vladimir Putin.
Someone who evidently knows nothing of trade or trade deals on the front page of The Times because he is a "Trump aide". Suppose we'll cycle through this nonsense regularly for four years.
I don't think anyone could have possibly envisioned this.
Muslims who voted Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks "Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Sec of State pick and others,” says Rabiul Chowdhury, who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in PA. Muslims helped Trump win MI also. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…
Publicly demanding a cover up of a Republican-led ethics investigation into the Attorney General nominee doesn’t suggest much confidence that it will exonerate Gaetz
NEW : Mike Johnson urges Ethics panel to not release report on Matt Gaetz, an unprecedented move since investigation is supposed to be separate from speaker’s office “I’m going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report" Johnson tells @alisonkmain
But he's also said some nice things about the UK
We’re a week in and Donald Trump has handed the US government to the richest man on earth, begun the process to purge generals who won’t swear personal fealty to him, appointed a sex trafficker to run the law enforcement system, and appointed a Russian spy to head US intelligence
Starmer should prioritise the national interest and appoint Jeremy Corbyn to an intelligence role
Gabbard as DNI would be a consequential & radical appointment. She has echoed Russian claims about US-backed biolabs in Ukraine,invoked "Russia’s legitimate security concerns" and met with Assad twice in 2017 as well as questioned OPCW findings on Syrian chemical weapon use.
“Tulsi is a few marbles short of a full set but we are hopeful the marbles she has are blue and white in support of Israel,” an official at a pro-Israel group told me of the selection.
NEW @J_Insider via @marcrod97: “Why conservatives concerned about Tulsi Gabbard as possible director of national intelligence” “The former Hawaii Democratic congresswoman's record in the House is drawing scrutiny” jewishinsider.com/2024/11/tulsi-…
Dems are like, “we take institutions seriously so we’ll nominate Merrick Garland who will be meticulous and slow so no one will ever suspect him of political bias” and GOP is like “LOL MATT GAETZ AS AG”
A nice reciprocation of 2020
Clinton and Obama both were extremely gracious in 2016, too. The asymmetry of the Trump Era on this point is something that should make the intentions of Trump vs his opponents a little more obvious, but evidently voters don't care. They think it's all theater.
I have to say, both Biden & Harris have handled Trump's win with a lot more class & grace than I expected.
Nothing better illustrates the 'its all just vibes' heuristic than a bunch of people who argued for Brexit on basis of sovereignty, governance, internationalism and rules-based free trade going full Trump-brain
