Here's Vox/Recode using the RHETORIC OF 'INVASION' to describe Amazon's plan for NYC:
"legitimate fears about what kind of impact Amazon’s invasion would have on real-estate prices and an already faltering subway system."

@kausmickey @Breaking911 Had all the trappings. But is he mixed? Hate to throw a wrench in the narrative.

@RonBrownstein The language used – "do you WELCOME or FEAR the demographic, social and cultural changes remaking American life" – is loaded and avoids the main underlying issue.
Namely, do you APPROVE of the inevitable POLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS of these forces shaping our lives?

More evidence culture not class is the fundamental dividing line in American politics: do you welcome or fear the demographic social and cultural changes remaking American life?

@arieleast @KarlRove Why does rinsing out your cereal bowl right away avert disaster?
Arguably the cat is playing an important role in the local ecosystem!
English
@KarlRove Rover, some things might seem less important than they actually are.
For example: if you have a cat, it's very very important to rinse out your cereal bowl right away.
Why?
As clean as the bowl on the counter might seem to passersby in the kitchen, um ...

@kausmickey "US economy doing fine; China not so."
Our economy IS doing well. But China's annual GDP growth is in the low sixes – not even a % point off recent numbers.
We shouldn't let our contempt for the communist regime color our perception of how well they're doing.

This guy (Alden) is calling the game in the 5th inning, no? PS US economy doing fine overall. China not so fine. Who is ahead, leverage-wise?

@kausmickey Completely wrong side.

At the Berlin Wall memorial, I find myself wondering how my country could ever have become one that now builds these monstrosities. One-third of the people who died crossing here trying to escape to freedom were children and teenagers.

Because we failed to turn over our lives to the state, there were "lethal consequences."

Medicaid *does* help the "near-elderly" live longer? theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… Seems powerful evidence for Medicaid expansion if it holds up. Even more powerful evidence for just lowering Medicare age to 50, no? (The "moderate" position in Dem debate.)

@kausmickey The mutant outlier and former Republican, Joe Scarborough.
How convenient, for demonstrating @WashingtonPost's alleged point: broad agreement across political lines.
English
Also illustrates one of Mike Kinsley's Rules: Anytime the press says "Everyone from X to Y" to show the breadth of something it really only shows the lack of breadth. Everyone from Durbin to Josh Marshall to Holder!

@DeniseTut @JoJoFromJerz Now tell us about the general knowledge of blacks (Democrats' most loyal constituency) pertaining to the Court.
English
@JoJoFromJerz It can’t be all about judges. Most of these white trash followers couldn’t name a SC judge if you put s gun to their heads.

Almost like party elites and donor class wanted something other than their base did.

@BensmanTodd @kausmickey Your piece mentions (by pseudonym) not only "Mama Africa" but her husband, "Mohammad".
Were the couple converts to Islam, or originally from the Middle East?

Those few of us familiar with special interest alien smuggling to the southern border know that this ICE-HSI backed arrest of Mama Africa’s is a big national security win

And putting aside that Mario Lopez folded (as Bob Grant used to say, like a cheap camera) professional conservatives must warn any interlocutors of what they're getting into.

And after Honduras (putting aside our own dilapidated and neglected cities) there's only about 9/10 of the planet to go.

I don’t think people have a clue how tough the trade war has been on China.

@RyanGirdusky @kausmickey So if this is correct, Latinos are as supportive of Trump on immigration and enforcement as whites? And blacks only about a third as either?
But as a whole, blacks are *more* restrictionist than any other group. So their attribution of Trump's position to racism is reflexive.
