Joe Stieb

Whether you supported Trump because he was going to expose the deep state pedophiles or because he was going to lower prices or because he was going to make IVF available, he really wants you to know you are a unbelievable mark and he’s going to hit you up again.

That book is decent yeah

Liberal Anti-Racism Mainstream ideas about anti-racism are troublingly illiberal; but the concept can, and should, be salvaged.

I also wrote two long goodreads reviews on their books if u are interested

Their ideas suck as history and social commentary

Exactly

I’m sorry, this is a needlessly divisive perspective that treats anyone who deviates slightly from new orthodoxies as an enemy

Average MAGA voter: I am declaring WAR on anyone who sells or buys goods in the global economy

Also average MAGA voter 3 months later: but black dynamite, I sell and buy goods in the global economy

Am I allowed to say that I think the idea of people like Kendi and DiAngelo are dubious without ‘agreeing with the the authoritarian white supremacists.’

Facts

a significant recession has not happened during any zoomer's adulthood

I'd rather self-flagellate for 1 hour, 44 minutes, and 11 seconds than watch this.

There will be a report on the report on the reports 3 years from now.

“Can anyone imagine the uproar”?

The funny thing about all these "Trump is a Realist" pieces is that Trump fails the Realism test even by the author's own definitions.

Liberals don’t have interests donchaknow

Opinion | Israel Must Open Its Eyes

"So, yes, I consider myself a friend of Israel. But now its friends need to stage an intervention. The Israeli government has gone too far. It has engineered a staggering humanitarian crisis, and that crisis is both a moral atrocity and a long-term threat to Israel itself."

I can’t believe that’s even a take.

where is Tom Cotton who hollered Biden did not do enough to get Afghan helpers out? Oh, that's right- Cotton sold his soul to devil

wow, next you'll be telling me that the 'pro-life' movement isn't pivoting to offering better support for mothers and children?

This isn’t really realism, i would say, but a john bolton style hegemonic neoconservatism. It reads like half of the justifications for the Iraq war.

Oh and this:

‘Trump sounds a wholly different note. He knows it is Hamas, not democratically elected Israeli leaders, who are the bad guys.’

Huh, I didn’t know being democratically elected meant you could starve kids and obliterate an entire society.

Can I come live in your moral vacuum?

is insane: Biden backed Bibi to the hilt for years while occasionally wringing his hands.

I will say, Samet being the Jeane Kirkpatrick fellow is appropriate, because this article is amoral hackery worthy of old Jeane.

On Israel’s strikes during negotiations.

The author faults Obama for not backing Mubarak in 2011; friend, Mubarak was toast, and the only thing we could have done is looked the other way while he massacred thousands to stay in power.

The idea that ‘biden distanced the US from the Jewish state’ /

Frozen Iranian assets in accordance with the JCPOA, which effectively constrained Iran’s nuke program until Trump adjured it for no reason.

Every US president has had a policy of preventing IR nuclearization.

He did not ‘offer Tehran a diplomatic path’ away from an NW program but doubled down/

Almost every sentence of this is wrong:

Aside from the fact that he’s deepening our involvement in the region and backing Israel’s brutal war without reservation, Samet is wrong that Biden and Obama ‘funneled billions of dollars to Tehran.’

They released/

They want an America that is less connected, less culturally rich, even less economically rich.

They also specifically hate college towns as blue islands in red states.

Some quotes from the article for the ‘DO SOMETHING!’s. 👇

"We will impeach and remove the president for his many crimes" seems like a good midterm election pitch to me idk

16/ JD Vance is still listed as a member of American Moment’s Emeritus board. www.americanmoment.org/board-of-adv...

Well said. They are highly flawed historical meta narratives.

The GWOT should be criticized, but criticized well!
