I mean, one could start with the injustice that how much money someone has dramatically impacts all their life outcomes. No one disputes that. How to address it? Lots of differences there.

I just giggled at not being old enough.

I didn’t read much Simmons. For Boston sports, I was more Gammons.

I remember Dennis Miller.

I did not check a book out from the library from say 1998-2020. So I’m personally like 3% of this decline

Reagan, in his first speech after his official nomination to be the Republican candidate went to the county fairground just a few miles from where these three civil rights workers were found to give a speech on States Rights just one day short of the 16th anniversary of the bodies being found.

Democrats fled Texas to stop Republicans from creating a gerrymandering fight that would functionally end any pretense that Congress represents The People

Republicans fled Congress to stop Democrats from releasing Trump/Epstein files that would prove (again) that Trump is a deviant sexual predator

Bleaker than the existence of a 50,000 word Bill Simmons column?

Are there systemic injustices in American society and should we address them?

DeSantis’s lawyer’s definition was pretty clear.

"the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."

Does he think there’s not enough supply of books for 13-15 year olds?

Does he think his drivel counts as high quality reading for anyone?

What happens when they ask if & for whom he voted for since say 2000, or even earlier?

We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

Bifurcation is my word for US education the past 30+ years and this just intensifies it.

I kinda want to be a fly on the wall at one of their parties.

Maybe after gathering enough intel, pick a fight.

I’m running with OPEC increasing production to help Trump until disproven.

They definitely did jot like Biden, among many reasons, the EV initiatives

Agree. I just didn’t know if that particular conversation had a Nazi on one side.

The proliferation of Nazis on Twitter is due to the owner though.

True, but I’d consider 96% near all compared to 1.6% which is, as Oppenheimer says, near zero.

I truly don’t think even the most well-meaning, informed men understand how many of the women in their lives have been sexually assaulted or abused, often by multiple men, and often by men they know. The stories women share with each other privately would shock them to their core.

Mount doesn’t do analysis. He takes premises and back fills justifications.

Kinda like a LLM
