@jimmy_esq When my lib friends bring this up I explain I'd be fine with a ban on corporate spending on elections so long as labor unions are also banned from spending on elections. They find that intolerable.

Is there a more grotesquely misunderstood Supreme Court decision in history than Citizens United? Nearly everyone who complains about it seems to have no idea what it was about or what the reasoning was. It's just vibes.
Anders Åslund@anders_aslund

John Roberts' verdict on Citizens United in 2010 allowed unlimited amounts of dark money in US politics, abandoning all limitations & transparency. Roberts also voted for Trump's immunity. John Roberts is the 2nd greatest culprit in the destruction of US democracy after Trump.

@CaliRN619 @ogafroman 90% of my follows are right of center and I haven't seen a single post that fits into your category for "Republicans."

The difference between Republicans, Democrats, and MAGA based on reactions to @ogafroman Republicans: If Afroman didn’t flaunt his drug use they wouldn’t have raided his house. Back the blue no matter who. Democrats: F*ck the police. They’re all dirty and if you support them you’re a boot licker fascist. MAGA: Screw criminals no matter who they are, but especially screw taxpayer funded criminals. FAFO 🤣😂.

LaughBreak: Dad Jokes ‘N More
While reading an article about fathers and sons having their first drink together, I remembered the time I took my daughter out for her first drink. We went to a bar just two blocks from the house. I got her a Sam Adams. She didn’t like it. so I drank it. Then I got her a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Same thing — so I drank that too. Then I tried a Blue Moon. Nope… drank that as well. Thinking maybe she’d prefer something stronger, I ordered a Tito’s and soda. She wouldn’t touch it… so I drank it. In desperation, I even got a top-shelf bourbon — the bar’s finest. She wouldn’t even smell it… so I drank that too. By the time I realized she just didn’t like to drink, I was so drunk I could barely push her stroller home.

@Jamiellorntzen A week ago I thought it was nearly certain. But he's putting himself in position for a substantial payday. Can we afford him? Dunno.

@CalebWachter @charlesmurray Malthusians have been proved wrong for hundreds of years. But every generation trots out the same arguments in some new fashion. They get cited, lauded and applauded. And their predictions fail. Over and over.

The whole point of science is to be wrong, and to prove statements incorrect. It's literally how science operates. But people being people try to use science to validate or confirm things. It cannot do this. It will never do this. It is fundamentally incapable of ever doing this.

I care about actions not words. He want's regime change and that's the best outcome. Barring that, ending their nuclear program for years and Iran focusing more inward than outward would be a success. Baring that simply setting back the nuclear program for years and reducing their ability to support terror is still a success. The only failure is if none of that happens.

@PatInNV @dilanesper I understand how you feel but Trump doesn't care about freeing the Iranian people that would take something like the Iraq war with hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties add the fact Trump flip flops ever day he will look for a deal a the regime

Iran wasn't blowing anything up in the Gulf, the Straits were open, and energy prices were stable, and then we attacked and assassinated its leaders, and now tons of important infrastructure is being destroyed, the Straits are closed, and prices are up. We blew it.

They would literally prefer that the war turn out a terrible tragedy is long as it embarrasses Trump. Their mostly hidden true worst case scenario is that Iranians gain their freedom, stop trying to build nuclear weapons, stop supporting terror and focus on making life better for the Iranian people. Especially if that happens before the midterm elections.

Trump is so hated that people and media, and not only on the Left, are basically rooting for Iran at this point.

@markbuchiere @dilanesper War is sometimes the only answer. It's been 47 yrs of conflict with Iran and it only gets worse, never better. I have Iranian family that still visit Iran and that's straight from them as well.

@markbuchiere @dilanesper The never ending response of those that are fine with any level of barbarity anywhere so long as they aren't even mildly inconvenienced, while still thinking they're virtuous.

@MikeBales Back around 1978 my dad's friend brought a Uhaul trailer full of Coors to the Gahanna, Ohio VFW hall and sold it all in a matter of hours.

Brilliant move by Iran. They are planning to levy a 10% toll on all ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This will generate $73 billion a year, completely offsetting US sanctions and paying for war damages. Checkmate.
