Almost (almost) every politician is a disappointment to me. Yet I remain an optimist

@cremieuxrecueil It isn’t that simple, and making it this three-option ABC choice doesn’t do the topic justice

@TrishtheSkeptic @kittypurrzog We can agree to disagree. I don’t think it’s a Gotcha question because I genuinely think that’s what will happen. I think we will shave some spending in spots, then up tax breaks causing a net defecit+ Maybe Trump 47 will actually reduce our debt. But I don’t believe he will.

@TrishtheSkeptic @kittypurrzog You said you were concerned about the 36T dollar deficit. But now you seem to be saying you’re fine if we, for example, cut 1T in various programs you don’t like, give that 1T back to billionaires in the form of tax refunds, and continue going further into debt.

@TrishtheSkeptic @kittypurrzog That’s OK. But I’d rather just see us ditch the Romanian transgender operas and keep the health stuff until we’ve thought through that a bit more. And also, I’m sorry but I continue to believe every dollar we save in USAID will just find its way into a billionaire’s tax refund

@JakeSherman Lol but women who just gave birth 12 hours ago absolutely positively must come in person to the Capitol to vote if they want their vote to count. Unbelievable!!

@stormrobinson This part of the Right (the hyper religious types that barely understand their religion at all and have in fact just morphed into bigots) is what keeps me out of the Right and partying all alone here in the Center 😅. The moral contradictions ABOUND over there.

@billsmafiatampa Just TBH I think you might be oversensitive to this and it may not really as real of a think as you perceive it to be. I’m in a pretty neutral spot and I can assure you many love Josh. Some hate him yeah, but same deal with all the top names. Personally I think he’s awesome

@Advanced_mnky Yeah this is why I’m pretty intentionally glued to the center and will never be in any of these tribes. The far Left is completely nuts. But there’s definitely an anti-gay strain (and TBH a racist strain) that exists on the Right, and those need to be kept in check too.

@kittypurrzog Yes! Not to mention that these efforts make regions more stable and safe, which is good for us. And us having a helping hand in there (instead of China, Russia, etc) serves us reputationally and in terms of influence. GOP and Dems understood this until like 5 minutes ago lol

@TrishtheSkeptic @kittypurrzog Namely 2 things: 1. When a place goes from a horror show to less horrible, it becomes less likely to be an “unstable” region where war, terror, and other new diseases can arise 2. When the U.S. is the one to make a place less horrible, it’s noted there. Ups our own reputation

@Advanced_mnky I agree with this. Maxine Waters is a clown but she’s an elected part of a federal government and sending some random guy out of a federal government building to say “you can’t come in here” was not the right look and probably not really legal either

@nycexpatmom I agree in part. Cancellation for a past mistakes is stupid. But it is really important that if you see some hateful comment in someone’s history, you actually verify it’s not who they are today. Has Vance done that? Does he care? Would it be good for the public to know?

@TrishtheSkeptic @lxeagle17 That is a valid opinion to have. It’s not, however, OK to abandon these human beings mid-treatment while the clinical trials are already ongoing now.

@NickyFrank30 Yes, yes, yes. I was a reluctant Harris voter and if she’d been more pro-Gaza and less pro-Israel she would have certainly lost my vote. We have one actual friend in the Middle East and it’s certainly not Gaza lol

@swolling_flyguy “Yt” is used as an acceptable slur for white people. You see the far-left types absolutely love using it. It’s kinda like a visual way to make white people as minimized in a conversation as humanly possible.

@TomPelissero A simple analysis of “which team got the call” on basically all the most critical dozen or so most game-impacting calls in these playoffs begs to differ It doesn’t have to be an Illuminati-level conspiracy. Just the unconscious bias that develops with certain teams and players.

@JonathanTurley Sometimes you sound like a serious legal scholar, and then sometimes you totally ignore the law and just sound like… this

@AGHamilton29 The problem w Trump’s “outrageous unserious bluffing 24/7” strategy though, is that people *will* eventually catch on and it will become ineffective. You said this has a 0 percent chance of happening and I agree If Hamas realizes that, why should they view it as a real “stick”?
