Remember when Corey Lewandowski got arrested for nudging Michelle Fields’ arm in a crowded room, while the media and Conservatism Inc made it the top news story for 2 weeks?
Surveillance video of Rudy Giuliani being “slapped” on the back and called a “scumbag”. Giuliani now says “he felt a tremendous pain in my back” like “somebody shot me” and he “just about fell down”. Giuliani had the man arrested. Liars going to lie, video shows it was a tap.

Unlike Romney, Deval Patrick ran Bain's SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE arm. Romney just laid off workers. Patrick laid off workers and then told them to check their privilege--hence the fund's name, Double Impact.
Genuinely cannot wait to hear Democrats explain that maybe Bain Capital - the Supreme Satan of the 2012 election (justifiably) - is really not that bad even maybe even kinda good:

YouTube did not "silence" @RightWingWatch based on their left liberal beliefs. They banned them for hosting right wing content-even though RWW's motive was to mock the original creator. This just shows the length YouTube goes to erase any un-PC content off the internet.
Congratulations once again to all the liberals and leftists -- led by their journalists -- who urged censorship of political speech by Silicon Valley monopolists based in the belief that it would only be used to silence your adversaries and enemies but never your allies. 👍.

Despite the slanted language of @AmerCompass’s poll, it found GOP voters care far more about cultural/identity issues than economic populism. The poll characterizes “challenges” as “New Right” (i.e. populist inc.), Old Right (conservatism inc.), cultural, and consensus.
1/10 The poll of GOP voters that we released this morning @AmerCompass depicts a really interesting issues landscape and explains a lot about what is going on in Republican politics and with conservative policy fights. 🧵

While not severe, the Giuliani clearly was a victim of battery. The slap was intentional, unwanted physical, contact--given alongside an insult. In contrast, You learn in 1L torts/crim law that minor contact when moving in crowds is permitted--i.e. Lewandowski and Fields.

Yes, @JuliaIoffe! When Wall Street & Big Tech collude to boycott, fire, and deplatform all who oppose their agenda, it's the free market at work. If consumers had a problem, they'd start their own internet & financial system--what us econ-savvy pundits call "revealed preferences"

When every bank and tech monopoly imposes a far left social agenda--they reflect their upwardly mobile consumer base's values. If anyone had a problem, they would simply avoid the internet and the financial system. It's what us economists call "revealed preferences.".
PSA: Conservative outrage over "woke" capital largely reflects the demographic change the right finds so unnerving, but brands, unlike politicians, are desperate to not alienate trendsetting younger consumers just launching careers and families.

Trespassing and littering are already unlawful. HB 269 turns minor/civil offenses into “hate crimes.” This doesn’t protect property rights, it allows the government to throw people in prison for what would otherwise get a ticket if the ADL doesn’t like their views.
Again, Scott isn't understanding the concept of private property rights. The bill pertains ONLY to private property. Only a leftist would oppose this. Why would Scott want BLM and Antifa to be able to enter MAGA owned property to harass and intimidate?.

The terms “new right” and “old right” are perpetually repurposed. The Old Right once referred to the anti-New Deal isolationist Right of Robert Taft. The New Right referred to the Cold Warrior National Review and Goldwater. See, e.g., this 1968 essay by Murray Rothbard.

Hawley omits importing foreign labor from Corporate America’s sins. Incidentally the UAW has long advocated for amnesty and increasing legal high skilled immigration.
America made these huge corporations what they are. Now they owe some loyalty - and basic fairness - to American workers. Stop offshoring. Stop investing in China. Stop making American workers compete with slave labor. Invest in America.

Sometimes the best solution are the simplest. Fight deplatforming by passing laws against deplatforming—and focusing our legal efforts there. There is no version of 4D chess where supporting lawsuits expressly designed to pressure Big Tech to censor more will stop deplatforming.

My post may be dumb, but it seems to have struck a nerve with Senator Vance. Let me address his points one by one. 1. I made a throw-away line in a tweet, which necessarily over-simplified the AZ Senate election. My point was Masters launched his campaign with a video about.
This is a dumb thread for many reasons. Let me discuss a few. First, the idea that Blake Masters lost because he made "raising a family on a single income" his signature issue is preposterous. How much paid media did Blake put behind that message? I don't know the answer, but.

Lucas Kunce is running against Josh Hawley as a "real populist." Kunce was a fellow at @econliberties and published pro-antitrust/anti-China pieces in @amconmag. I'd say Hawley's getting hoisted on his populist petard, but voters don't care about antitrust one way or the other.

@balajis Interesting points. A lot of Rogan types have nostalgia for Occupy when as some bipartisan movement against the elites who engineered wokeism to distract the masses. I know that’s not your point, but they both kind of view Wokeness as response to Occupy. It’s fair to say that.
