@aoxamaxoa @mattyglesias Ok, but what companies would you consider it acceptable to work for? I can’t take this view seriously unless you’re willing to identify a reasonably large white-list. Otherwise I am fairly confident nearly any private appt will turn out to be unacceptable

@mattyglesias I’m acknowledging that lots of people are doing their usual bad faith on this, what I’m asking is as someone who also agrees people in general should be fine working in the private sector can’t we still acknowledge some cases are egregious, like gambling and prediction market cos

To be clear, I would never read a Revolving Door Project article! I think I have made my feelings about this institution very clear. But as far as I can tell they are in practice opposed to all private sector employment unless it’s their patron Ron Klain’s Airbnb gig.

I don't know. I think the main takeaway is that having an ignorant, impulsive, easily manipulable president who could not be bothered to make the case for war to the public nor plan for the obvious consequences is really, really bad.
Max Abrahms@MaxAbrahms

The main takeaway from the Iran war is that American domestic politics is the greatest impediment to US military success. Our military put on a clinic but American constituencies have done everything possible to prevent a win. China is smiling watching America’s pundit imbeciles.

@Shalom22122122 @RadioFreeTom This point of view is completely understandable, but what are the citizens of these Arab states willing to do about it? I’m sure they’d get complete American support for a ground invasion to depose this reckless Iranian regime. But who is willing to sign up for that?

@RadioFreeTom An Arab commentator asked something like: If Iran has destroyed Israel’s Air Force and Navy, taken out Bibi, and the heads of Mossad, IDF, Shin Bet, (and their deputies), and destroyed Israel’s military industrial complex, would they say they lost? No. zinebriboua.com/p/the-war-the-…

@mattyglesias I assume the other 2-1 dem scenarios have negligible likelihood so this is projecting something like 60% dem victory? Hardly seems unreasonable

I find these betting odds strange, from the vantage point of 2026, I think you have to view the 2028 presidential general election result as a pure toss-up that we don’t have any useful information about.

@20committee @RadioFreeTom I mean, yeah, if the public opposes your costly war then you’re not going to win it. That you started it in the first place is the bigger problem and clearly illegal. At least get a war resolution through congress and then at least there is something to talk about

“Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.”
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸@FmrRepMTG

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted. Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.

@mattyglesias Personally I was a lot more upset about the response to Biden’s Afgan pullout because it was so broad-based. Were there any Iran hawks opposed to the JCPOA that aren’t also Republican diehards?
