What's the key difference between our two political parties? Republicans play politics, Democrats exercise power.

Very well done to the @australian on publishing this excellent collection that will become in future a time capsule of this miserable & cowardly & profoundly unAustralian time. Includes a justly searing piece by @GemmaTognini

Someone forgot Robert Trout.

Well, Charles Osgood wrote me a poem once. But Daniel Schorr is the reason we ultimately got Trump.

It's the "collective madness of crowds," esp if they think of themselves as intellectuals.

I don’t know how an otherwise *presumably* relatively intelligent guy falls into such a ditch of outright, detached-from-reality stupidity. And he’s proxy for so many others. I can’t for the life of me come to the cause of this.

Or perhaps this is just a sadistic urge to impose incoherent bullsh*t on the compliant readers of NYRB.

When she’s right she’s right. Which until just this minute, I thought was never.

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

I think that's the idea.
Why not turn it into a madrassa? That should make Labourites happy.

"Tradition is not exclusion. It is memory. It is the record of what a civilization discovered was worth preserving. Once you start apologizing for that, you create a vacuum where nothing holds."

An interesting perspective on how to better design the 21st century US #Navy to reflect contemporary geopolitical realities. @CIMSEC

I'm growing tired of hackneyed criticisms of King's sort. Asked and answered, many times.
Also getting tired of the "unprepared" charge. What do they think CENTCOM's been thinking about/preparing for in the last 30 years plus?

We shld utilize better tactics and technologies. Stipulated. But the better calculation is the cost of the defending missile against the value of the thing you’re defending. And we are still on the right side of that. Also a good reminder that we have to shoot the archers.

This may be heresy to some, possibly most: but Bismarck is the closest comparison to Trump of all 19th century statesmen.
Greg R. Lawson@ConservaWonk
#Bismarck was pretty clearly the greatest statesman of the second half of the 19th Century. While his mercurial leader, Wilhelm II led Germany to ruin after dismissing Bismarck & then later in #WWI, Bismarck's genius established a remarkable power. #Germany #History

"Ol Time Football": Anything before face masks.
Likewise baseball: Anything before batting helmets.
Next case!

This is great. But how does Hilgenberg rate Ol Time Football?? Everyone knows that's Red Grange and Four Horsemen etc.

Jay!

Quite right. This kind of strategic thinking is simply beyond the capacity of most media journalists/commentators, esp if it makes Trump look like he knows what he's doing.
Rebeccah Heinrichs@RLHeinrichs
It’s not an expansion of the war so much as executing a successful strategy to end a limited war with scoped objectives but ok.

Thanks, but somehow a Dickens novel of less than 400 pages doesn't grab me. I'm still a fan of the Lean film, tho; also his Oliver Twist.
Jonathan Leaf@WriterJonLeaf
@ArthurLHerman Great Expectations may not be as great as David Copperfield, but it's Dickens' most consistently excellent book. Only married by the ending. Often very funny, too. You won't be disappointed.
