@WSJ @WSJopinion People are a product of their time. To separate people from their historical framework is futile, and to reject them is an effort to censor past violence is a delusive act of virtue signaling,

@gowronseyes @EWErickson The politician that voted for the war is held responsible but not the man that volunteered to go? Huh?

@Gusdog481 @EWErickson That doesn’t matter. The fault is solely with the policymakers who authorize the war they are sent to fight in. Was this guy not a real soldier? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Kovic

He volunteered, went back again, then became a mercenary and bragged about killing people. Now he's a whiny entitled Nazi brat.

@gowronseyes @EWErickson Cmon man he knew what he was getting into when enlisting, nobody forced him, like a man he made a choice. Own it.

@Gusdog481 @EWErickson What difference does the date in which you enlist make? Everyone who fights in a war is sent by the policymakers who launch them.

@ericbolling Last strike killed MLB for me, millionaires striking against billionaires. Haven’t watched since.

mlb.com/news/mlb-makes… Fans are the most important part of these negotiations and the least represented. We’re your golden goose. We buy the tickets, beer, and jerseys. MLBPA: this deal improves competition and grows the game. Sign it before we collectively decide we’re tired of being the last priority.

@itsmubashi Nope min wage was $2.65/hr, $106/wk before taxes, not even close.

In 1978, a student earning minimum wage during summer could afford to pay a full year's in-state tuition at a four-year public university without going into debt.

@OrevaZSN It’s crazy how wrong you are.

It’s crazy how many major problems in the world would be solved by heavily taxing billionaires out of existence.

@gummibear737 I think Trump should say, ok reparations but American people and companies go to Iran and help do the work. Full clearance.

Paying reparations is acknowledgement that you’ve lost the war You’re not going to spin that by rebranding it a “reconstruction fund” I hope Trump knows this

@ChaseMadar Adult take, Platner was an adult when he enlisted, the Iraq war was 2 years old, still going and he enlisted. Be an adult and own your decision, he knew then he would probably go to Iraq, don’t want to…don’t enlist. OWN IT like an adult.

“Volunteer enlistees deserve whatever they get” appeals to some otherwise nice people here. But it’s wrong. Soldiers, even the ones who fight bad wars, are people too. They enlist for all kinds of reasons. This is a vile thing for a legislator who sent people to war to say

@SNYGiants Right answer.

Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time: "Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things. Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us. If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world. That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk. As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter. I just want to move past this."

@OrevaZSN If you think government creates wealth….

@theficouple They don’t need more space, they want more space. My wife grew up in a family with 5 kids in an 800 sf house. She’s ok.

Spoke with a couple from Columbus, OH. They paid $280k for a home in 2020 & that home is now $475,000. They got a 30 year, 3.75% mortgage. They now have 2 kids, need more space but a new home doubles their housing costs. ...They're trapped & millions are in this situation.

@arenrlebrun @magine_3037 Enlisting after the war starts means he’s should stand up and take credit for his service,

@magine_3037 People who enlisted in wars launched on fraudulent intel are entitled to be upset at the politicians who peddled that intel. I hope this helps you.

I admire the cosmic hubris required for a politician to look a reporter dead in the eye and blame war on the troops.

@gummibear737 @AimenDean Kinda expected when you start by killing all the leaders.

One month ago, @AimenDean reported that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei sent a letter that was delivered to Trump with the following 10 demands: -Acknowledge Iran's right to enrich Uranium -Acknowledge that the US was the aggressor -Acknowledge Iran's security jurisdiction over the Strait of Hormuz -Demand withdrawal of all US military presence from the Middle East -Demand reparations -Complete removal of sanctions -Immediate unfreezing of funds -Complete suspension of UN International Atomic Energy Agency inspections -Hezbollah and other proxies will not disarm and will remain important allies to Iran -Guarantees from both the US and Israel that there will be no more wars of aggression against Iran Basically telling Trump to surrender...a big middle finger It's why I'm extremely skeptical of the current negotiations, Iran's good will in negotiation and ultimately whether the deal would be worth the paper it's written on So we still don't know exactly who the US is negotiating with beyond the Pakistani intermediaries We don't know if those people are in charge and have the buy-in of the IRGC or Mojtaba Khamenei I don't see anything in the past month that would have changed the position of somebody who wrote this letter So even if Trump does agree to a deal with Iran, it's not at all clear how much that will even matter once the Islamist hardliners weigh in

@emzanotti Doesn’t everyone like Ramen?

Pratt has spent an awful lot of time attacking Bass, but he’s going to need to shift to Raman so that this goes to a two-person race. Save the Bass attacks for the runoff.

@GeneSohoForum Oh cmon man go for it, everyone makes the same no matter the job.

BIG, but why should "any single person" have wealth over $5 million?

@bonchieredstate Iran leaders would send in women to dig it up, not caring if they die from radiation poisoning.

I'm going to state the obvious here. If Iran does not have the capability to unearth the nuclear material, then why are we negotiating over it?

@ljmontello Owed a living wage, affordable housing, healthcare…who’s it all about, OWED?

Funny. We currently have a *youth* employment crisis just as we did in 2008 and now, as was the case then, your Boomer ass can't be bothered about young people who you think aren't owed a living wage, affordable housing, Healthcare or education. Instead it's all about YOU.

@joewrote But, the Iraq war was ongoing when Platner enlisted. Are you saying he’s too stupid to know better?

Great message. "The Iraq War was the troops' fault." Put it on a billboard.

@jimiuorio @MattWalshBlog I don’t know anyplace kids aren’t welcome.

@MattWalshBlog Kids are more than welcome at the restaurant I own…they add a ton to the vibe…

It's insane that we're constantly having this conversation about whether kids should be allowed in restaurants etc, meanwhile people bring their dogs everywhere. We now live in a society where dogs are more welcome in public than human children. It's psychotic.

@ljmontello Boomers still do, did. Nothing seems to be enough though. Look at all the cool government you have now.

For most of humanity, parents strove to put their kids in a better place than them to whatever degree possible. Boomers are kinda unique in not feeling any obligation to those after you.
