Capacity to see macro and micro aspects of ventures. Whether it’s in real estate or crypto, I excel at looking at both the big-picture and fine details.

SEAN SPICER: People need to appreciate what a game of chess this was. This was not Iran capitulating; this was the arm of China telling Iran to knock it off.
This was a level of brilliance and sophistication that I don't think that people fully appreciated we had.

@ChristopherHale Pal , are you that obtuse? Really?
If cheating on your wife destines one for HELL , there would not be enough room
Many good smart people make poor decisions when they let the the devil of temptation over power them

Sean Hannity cheated on his wife with Ainsley Earhardt, but please lecture the pope about the meaning of the Bible.
Acyn@Acyn
Hannity: I went to catholic school for 12 years, I attended a seminary in high school and studied theology. I left the catholic church in large part because of institutionalized corruption. Others at the Vatican have totally lost sight of the true meaning of the bible and its teachings

The only reason Trump was able to lead a movement full of "social conservatives" and self-identified devout Christians -- despite his limitlessly libertine and gluttonous public life of serial adultery, overlapping marriages, hush money to a porn star with whom he had an affair while his wife was taking care of their newborn baby, very close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, etc. -- is because he never postured as a paragon of sexual virtue.
But this is now the second time Trump tried to malign Joe Kent for remarrying "quickly" after losing his wife in war (Kent re-married 4 years later) -- implying something untoward in Kent's personal life -- and when Trump of all people does that, it exposes the laughable fraud of this movement of his followers posturing as though they are morally superior to anyone.
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism
🚨WTF: Trump on Joe Kent: "I'm not a fan of the guy… His wife was killed. He remarried fairly quickly." Trump cheated on his 1st wife with his 2nd wife, cheated on his 2nd wife with his 3rd wife, and when pregnant, cheated with a porn star. Get real.

@policytensor If I was the US, I would be more worried about the leverage they concede to all affected nations every passing day.
English
That’s just leverage. They don’t want to drag it out if they can. They want a permanent solution here. The US is trying to wiggle out of offering substantial relief. But they won’t let it go. Non-aggression pact and sanctions relief/tolls/money is a dealbreaker for Iran.
Janis Kluge@jakluge
Iran knows that its leverage in negotiations only grows over time. That's a strong incentive to slow down talks. The only way the US can get a quick deal is if Iran fears a ground invasion. But it's unclear if that is a credible threat, because it would be so unpopular in the US.

Bull case for crypto (thanks to AI)
Soon AI agents will replace desk job employees
AI agents don’t use banks, or traditional finance
They will use crypto (DeFi) to transact, execute tasks, hire services, etc…
Why do you think companies are racing to tokenize all assets. because soon AI will be buying RWA like houses, all onchain
This is the best time to get into crypto!!

@ILikesFree I suppose the same could be said for Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Due Process, and all the rest.

There is a good civic argument for the "electoral college".
Almost all western democracies give more weight to rural voters, for the same reason as the original compromise when ratifying the Constitution. Without some counterbalance, rural areas simply become "colonies" of urban areas, with government serving the interests of urban areas over the wishes of rural areas.
In almost all western democracies, the person leading the country is not chosen by a popular vote, but by representatives. Those representatives are in turn chosen primarily as local representatives for individual communities.
The electoral college giving more voting power to some is not a violation of democratic principles, but the norm in western liberal democracies.
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki
There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

@wydblaise The professional athlete was a top agility dog at Westminster where Amy won best in show for the herding breeds.
English
Amy Schumer revealed that in her prime she usually called men to go down on her and sends them off after because men also do that to ladies
“At my peak, I called a professional athlete to go down on me and I told him to leave after, happened a couple times”

A roving scooter gang of weed addicts attacked a courageous citizen for asking them politely to stop smoking weed at the Washington monument (which is illegal)

@localsweety @aidannonx You date to find all the things you don't want in a partner. Your thesis makes sense.

@aidannonx the men you date are not a reflection of the man you will marry.

When Kate Hudson revealed she wasn’t attracted to the “good men” and she even broke up with one of her exes because he had morals and wasn’t the “feisty, wild type” “His morals were sturdy, He is such a lovely person, I’m not so sure I’m attracted to the good men”

@LBDuck22 @2ndsucks86 @HmhXYhwH @cturnbull1968 We left it for the Afghan gov and they capitulated to immediately. That America's fault?
It was a problem the military was never going to solve. How do people not understand that?
English
@2ndsucks86 @HmhXYhwH @JoshStall @cturnbull1968 He might of ended it but a terrible way to. Lost us billions in guns and equipment, and left without a contingency in place

I will never understand how 77 million, of our fellow Americans, looked at this imbecile and decided he was qualified to lead our country.

Trump: I ended 8 wars. A ninth is coming. Nobody's ever ended one war. Who's ended one? Nobody
English
This would be a two or three week news story in a previous administration, and might even lead to the resignation of the defense secretary. He literally fabricated a Biblical quote, based off of a movie, while pretending to be a pious Christian.
But under Trump, we’ll have moved on by tomorrow.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal
🇺🇸 Hegseth recited “Ezekiel 25:17” speech at a Pentagon church service. But here’s the problem: it’s not actually from the Bible, but from Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. He even tweaked the ending to reference a military rescue unit. Who do you think pulled it off better? Hegseth or Samuel L. Jackson?

@StonKold @cturnbull1968 Hamas backed Sunni rebels while Iran backed Assad, Hamas is Sunni, Hamas has its own command structure that escalates on its own terms, Hamas gets money from Qatar as well.
Don't rely on AI. Learn geopolitics.

Well, we’re supporting genocides, launching failed wars of aggression, putting everyone’s livelihoods at risk with our policy of garrisoning the world economy, and shaking down everyone and their mother.
Meanwhile, the Chinese are doing more than anyone else to transition the world towards a post-carbon future, and generally behaving responsibly in the world.
But it is not just policies. Everyone can see the dramatic contrast in the competence of the two nations.
What is surprising is not that perceptions of China are getting more positive. What is surprising is that, despite @mgurri’s global information sphere, the US public remains so indoctrinated as to not see these elementary facts.
In other words, what demands explanation is the improbable success of the Chomsky-Herman propaganda model despite the revolutions in the media landscape.
Kyle Chan@kyleichan
Why have Americans’ views of China been getting gradually more positive over the past few years?

@Lonskils @jvt1976 @AmyDangerfield My ancestors have nothing to do with my decision on whether killing children is moral...such a flimsy argument
English
@jvt1976 @AmyDangerfield You didn't have your homeland destroyed and have your ancestors be blamed for everything under the sun. Isreal is a single state in the ME that many Jews can return to. I can't pretend to know what that feels like, you sure don't. Good day Sir, Good day.

Adam takes no issue with children and civilians being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon and tells Vinnie he needs to “pick a side”
Proud of Vinnie for his response.
