Wow, that guy at the park in the Vineyard Vines T-shirt DID NOT like it when I told him I like his Fudgie the Whale shirt.

It's just embarrassing as hell that anybody platforms his buffoonery. It's one of many reasons why the New York Times is of no use in this day and age. I can't even wrap fish in it, now that it's primarily digital.

It's not a costume so much as it is a Halloween-themed sweater. But still.

Do we want to speculate on whether he read the books vs just got someone to tell him about the premise? Because that would explain a lot of it afaiac.

That's simply not the case, everybody is allowed to state opinions without backing them up. For example, it is my opinion that my dog is adorable. No evidence, it's just an opinion and it's fine.

Not everything is a term paper or a debate stage.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

That's weird, there is nothing on their Facebook about this, www.facebook.com/RonaldReagan nor on their website's press releases www.reaganfoundation.org/about-us/pre....

I wonder who put that on Twitter, and whether it was even authorized.

I like when it's easy to refute the rhetoric that "both parties are the same", and yes, that does require the Democratic Party to have a few purity tests, e.g. "no Nazi tattoo candidates".
