That precisely the absurd binary that she's objecting to (if you read the whole interview, ahem.) It's entirely possible that a few know it all Harvard types played gotcha games with their profs and that her friends caught some undeserved flak such that her overall impression became exaggerated.

Neither she or Leonhardt blames Obama for anything.

The framing of "either she's a lying about her own experience or she's an embittered closet racist" gives away the game. Denying the censorious overreach that did occur (to whatever extent) is a binary she's objecting to, which is not outrageous.

Nick Fuentes is Nazi scum and anyone who associates themselves with him is trash.

"The Heritage Foundation didn't lead the conservative movement into fascism by canceling Nazis, we have to platform them! Preferably in a way that lets people who need to pretend that this isn't happening maintain their fantasy world. Thanks Tucker!"

It's to contrast how Andrew is facing some small measure of accountability for being in the Epstein scene, whereas Trump, Clinton, Gates, etc. just got to f*ck (possibly underage teen girls) and get away with it.

If you read the whole piece, it turns out that the (at times indeed "left-identarian") professors are not dogmatic! I graduated from Bowdoin & I rolled my eyes at one or two profs, but 95% were excellent teachers & the students not that liberal. Peters' framing was impervious to his own reporting.

Indeed, he is stating that jus sanguinis Confederate traitors are, by definition, more American than people who believe in the Declaration of Independence. So much for Reagan's City on a Hill or the Statue of Liberty!

I'll take Mitchell > Schumer 8 days a week, + Bill Cohen as a superior version of a moderate Republican Senator (contra Collins ugh) and SecDef under Clinton. Bates provided Jared Golden to the body politic & owes us an apology/explanation, Muskie notwithstanding.

Speedrun (AFAIK) is longshot early venture capital grants of $1M, most will not become marketable products and profitable firms, and there are others not listed here with more socially constructive purposes. I'd be more worried about the already-scaled firms and the sunk cost fallacy. Still...

Alas, Stancil is correct, the youth are more more fickle largely due to superficial media, not ideological drift/realignment; Dem positions will be favored, but the messaging deficit has to be closed in order to capitalize on the weakness of MAGA extremism alienating young/POC/kinder/smarter people.

Aren't PhDs smart enough not to mistake the people-who-shitpost-online "community" from the actual community? Millions suffer from long Covid, but a few hundred trolls set the agenda because nerds want to be popular now?? Seems more emotional than rational tbh.

Or... maybe it's b/c monetizing a therapy for a diagnosis that half the PCPs were/are blithely dismissive of might prove challenging when corporate America views working through sickness and disability as a given. Your colleagues shouldn't let frustrated patients &/or hurt feelings set the agenda.

Perhaps they can be randomly selected the same way Aileen Cannon drew Trump's stolen docs case, or how the DC Circuit's recent motions panels were selected...

Closet cases desperate to stay in the closet, so they need female cover, but neither males or females will go near their repugnant, damaged personalities, nor their lazy, bloated bodies, so their resentment goes nuclear.
Quit the GOP, go to a gym, get on an app, suck a dick, you'll feel better soon.

Whoa, this actually happened with Nick Bosa's injury this year, which spared 49er fans the experience of hoping in vain. Thanks Nick, and may God lift the injury curse he hath put upon us...

That doesn't make him a legitimate President. "Duly elected" isn't the same idea. Dems should have started describing his first election as illegitimate once Don Jr. accidentally revealed the Trump Tower meeting with Russia.

Champagne really is superior to other sparkling wine alternatives bc most use inferior methods or have inferior terroir & lower govt regulated standards. Besides, they aren't meeting a reasonable suspicion standard outside the fever swamps of Kavanaugh's inner child.

FIRE might be a flawed organization but it has jack diddly to do with Stephen Miller's fascistic Executive Orders and ICE's immigration enforcement crimes.

Seems tongue in cheek & as a MoCo native I'm not sure if I've been east of Adams Morgan in my life, which proves nothing. Barro does a legal podcast with Popehat, not really Stephen Miller adjacent AFAICT.

Not fair to Barro, one of the consistent non-hypocrite libertarians IIRC.
