I like this twist on the 1% Doctrine. Liz Cheney needs to go all the way here: If there is even a 1% chance that the Republican Party will attack America again… https://t.co/jc3OiqYs2H— Eric Kleefeld (@EricKleefeld) October 20, 2021

When police resign instead of following this very easy rule, just imagine how many codes of conduct they routinely break, how important it is to their occupational identity that they obey no civilian authority. https://t.co/iMG0lZkLZ9— Jake M. Grumbach (@JakeMGrumbach) October 20, 2021
It took less than two hours for Donald Trump's new social media to collapse under the weight of embarrassment. Trump's own account was quickly compromised and proceeded to post a photo of a pig defecating on its own scrotum. Access to the site is now shut down.— steven monacelli (@stevanzetti) October 21, 2021
What an embarrassing day for Trump's fake social platform. It was:✅ Revealed as a slightly reworked free software package✅ Got invaded by trolls posting pig defecation✅ Began banning people before even launching✅ Has been shut down entirely, before actually launching https://t.co/zN8zH5EVgF— Matthew Sheffield (@mattsheffield) October 21, 2021
For years, Republican politicians have pandered to the prejudices of "the base," or, in its Arabic translation, "al-qaeda."Now Donald Trump is launching a media site called Truth, or, in its Russian translation, Pravda— Will Bunch (@Will_Bunch) October 21, 2021
yeah but how much money will he fund raise of those nasty pinko commie libs hacking his wonderful bestest -ever website?

That’s a good zinger: Biden dropping lots of new info in the CNN town hall. Says (he believes) Sinema, like Manchin, is opposed to an expansion of Medicare benefits to include dental/vision/hearing. But says hearing benefits are important for Sinema, however— Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) October 22, 2021

Politico is awful. And ********ing unaware. Catholics swear. A lot. In polite society, I'm a lapsed Catholic. I swear. A shit load. Though I try to at least restrain it because my job requires me to work with people. My mom (who also went to Catholic school) and grandmother, both Catholic, could swear like sailors. My mom could make it a work of art, really. So really, it's not a surprise (To me) that Biden, who is Catholic, also swears like it's second nature. Seriously though, this is just utter shit. Tiger Beat on the Potomac indeed. 1451324768997761028 is not a valid tweet id
Ah, Hillsdale College. It's a right wing pundit factory. At some point it was a real college but it got taken over by right wingers, to the extent that they don't accept federal loan assistance because they don't want the affirmative action requirements that the federal loan assistance comes with.
As a Bulwark listener like me, I wonder if you've followed Sykes occasional deep dives into the "intellectual" side of conservatism? He went into Claremont again recently, and it is fascinating how heavyweight think tanks now hire people like Charlie Kirk and (LOL) Posobiec (he of pizzagate and other conspiracies) https://www.claremont.org/page/2019-lincoln-fellows/
I'll check that out. Claremont is interesting because it is a hotbed of Straussian thought, and one of the hallmarks of Leo Strauss' work is the idea that politics is too complicated for ordinary people so it's important for political philosophy to be esoteric so that the masses don't catch on to what the intellectuals are doing. Yeah. . . and then they go all in on support of Trump. But hey, if you'd read read Allen Bloom on Leo Strauss on Alexander Kojeve on Hegel's Master/Slave dichotomy . . . well, we can't tell you. You wouldn't understand anyway. Charlie Kirk is to philosophy what an eggplant is to literary genius.
Hillsdale has always been like that, though. They were withdrawing from federal programs in the 70s. I can't speak for it now, but when my sister was looking for colleges, it was always mentioned as a great school. That said, it is conservative to the nth degree. My mom told me she held a door open for a man there and the guy look offended.
