@ArmyofNaveed “Very little is happening at the White House, Alex. They seem to mostly spend their days sitting in empty conference rooms and getting glared at by security guards. Government waste at its finest. Back to you.”.

@TrevorFilseth As far as I understand, the conditional temporary appointment passes are green and don’t include escort provisions. If visiting the West Wing, it’s a blue appointments badge. Maybe she made a mistake filling out security forms and raised false alarms, but it’s otherwise unusual.

Soft-launching a war against Spain, replaces his first VP with a young psychopath, people with confusing politics like shooting him - he really is McKinley!
President Trump several times says that Spain is a BRICS nation, referring to the global coalition that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It does not include Spain.

@NedStanley @TrevorFilseth 1) I don’t like look at facts through the unreliable abstraction of Chat.GPT. 2) my point is that people get regular access to blue or green temporary badges because the clearances are generally that easy. Being “uncleared” like this is unusual. Those clearances are standard.

@BradmanTV @ArmyofNaveed You're the professional comedian here, but about 9,000 people understood my joke about someone locked in a conference room at the White House imagining that it must mean everyone else is also locked in a conference room.

> Ruler of the preeminent global metropolis.> Prophetic dreams about a man in Israel.> Weirdly into Istanbul. Welcome back, Emperor Constantine
At a roundtable with Jewish journalists, Mayor Eric Adams revealed that during his 2021 mayoral campaign, while trailing Andrew Yang, one of his supporters had a dream in which the late Lubavitcher Rebbe appeared and urged Adams to visit his gravesite.

Vance’s VP posts are just boring millennial whataboutisms. By 2027 he’s going to be like:. “Sen. Ossoff called the Cuban Provisional Authority ‘wasteful’. Uh, where was that cost-saving attitude when Joe Biden sent Abrams to Ukraine?”.
The main issue with Matt Gaetz is that he used his office to prosecute his political opponents and authorized federal agents to harass parents who were peacefully protesting at school board meetings. Oh wait, that's actually Merrick Garland, the current attorney general.

carter (verb). ‘cär-tėr 🔉. transitive verb.: to treat Palestinians like human beings only after losing reelection, thus rendering such views politically toxic.
President Biden and family exited Nantucket Bookworks this afternoon with the president carrying the book, "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi, according to pool reporters.

@numfuksteinstan I’d love a good book about the Democrats from the night of Clinton’s loss to the night of Biden’s victory, focused on the “new blood” and their respective “old guard” advocates.

This might be the end of Nixonian silent majority politics. This is such a bad imitation of Archie Bunker that it might actually make white suburbia less reactionary.

Is Josh Shapiro for or against people getting away with murder? Whichever way the wind blows.
Shapiro: In a civil society we are all less safe when ideologues engage in vigilante justice. In some dark corners this killer is hailed as a hero. Hear me on this, he is no hero. The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 at McDonald's.

Biden is historically unpopular and his foreign policy is one of the least popular things about him. I wrote an essay about how I think an alternative Harris-Walz foreign policy could work - I encourage folks to check it out!.
A functional party that wants to win would let Harris-Walz throw Biden under the bus and carve out a markedly different foreign policy position.

A president so susceptible to flattery that it’s a national security concern.
.@juliaioffe reports. A recording of Biden telling Rep. Jason Crow: "Name me a foreign leader who thinks I’m not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy. Tell me! Tell me who the hell that is! Tell me who put NATO back together!".

Hapsburg foreign policy: way too focused on securing alliances in Europe, responsible for horrible endless wars, and a secret third thing.
For the past three years, the Biden admin has been completely and utterly blind to how deeply distrusted they are on foreign policy. They have mistaken the consensus among warmongers in DC for broad approval nationally and have been incapable of messaging as a result.

I'm not a "live feral in the woods, walk into the ocean" type guy, but if I spent the rest of my life watching the early 2020s get retconned like this, I'll be too jaded to effectively communicate and get read by younger people as a shallow conspiracy theorist.
An era of left-liberal political operatives who look back on Biden hyping up the union jobs created in missile factories as a lost golden age.

The man is rocking Jimmy Carter 1980 numbers
Biden to The View: "I never fully believed the assertions that somehow there was this overwhelming reluctance of my running again. my polling was about. always within range of beating this guy I didn't sense that. I was confident. I would beat Trump."

Yes, and - the “I’m a businessman and I’m here to fix the government” niche is filled, even if Trump isn’t running. Copying that is as fruitless as Biden’s border bill. The open lane for Dem anti-establishment politics is opposition to finance, tech and the world they’ve built.
It’s not necessarily that. It’s orienting the party around antisystem politics more broadly instead of the last stand of the establishment framing they’ve stuck with since 2016. Thinking about it in terms of ideology misses the point.

Hegseth, Waltz, Rubio. This time there isn’t even 9/11 to hide behind. Just a cold, clean test of principles.
Many who support Trump for anti-war reasons will be cowed by his paranoia, writing essays about why his forthcoming aggression throughout the world is really based and nationalist. I was a left-liberal who criticized a megalomaniacal Democrat. I won’t be sympathetic.

I think I just went light-headed. Incredible work from @dan_grazier, @JuliaGledhill and @NuclearWilson.
The new National Security Reform Program @StimsonCenter released its debut report detailing the growing “bow wave” of future defense spending which will be unlike anything seen before.

So the line is “you’re privileged for caring about Palestine, real Americans care about groceries”. She’s gotten so much worse in the last two months, it’s hard to believe she has a healthy distrust of Liz Cheney and Mike Donilon. Even if she wins, I want a real primary in 2028.
Harris: “I don’t know anyone who has seen the images who would not have strong feelings…much less those who have relatives who’ve been killed. I also do know that many people who care about this issue care about bringing down the price of groceries…”.

O'Brien is a top prospect for Trump's foreign policy team. Conservative restrainers are hyper-fixated on the less-likely threat of escalation in Ukraine while sleepwalking into a conflict with Iran more devastating than Iraq and Afghanistan.
"If you grew up in Southern California, you know a lot of Persian Americans, you know that they are great Americans. Think of the prosperous, wonderful influence Iran could be on the world if it had some of these folks we have in Southern California back running things in

@NedStanley @TrevorFilseth I'm speaking based on insights from friends who worked there. Those waiting for hard pass clearance get temporary green badges. I got a green badge and I was only visiting for a few hours. No escort. I think a lot of this is internal procedure and won't be specified with links.

@PseudonymWitty The Midwest is frankly the part I’m trying to square with this, but I don’t think it’s an absurd idea. I think midwestern communities are more likely to consider such payday loans to be “trashy” and avoid them. That’s mostly because those communities are richer.

I wrote about this back in August when the next four years looked very different. It’s even more true now - liberal internationalism will drag the Democratic Party down with it. But Democrats used to do foreign policy differently, and they can smash Republicans again.
I think the economic and cultural stuff is a bit give and take—there are stories for both sides there—but the one Dem policy that they unequivocally need to move on from is the interventionism that was the core of the Biden admin outlook.
