He’s a Bat-Man villain who made it into one episode of the campy 60’s TV show and then got written out because the character was so ridiculous.

@RyanHoliday You built your career making Stoicism accessible to everyone. Now you mock Ivanka for quoting Meditations accurately because of her family?
Marcus Aurelius ruled an empire amid compromise. Stoicism isn’t a purity test or political gatekeeping.
Focus on your own virtue.

Lol what kind of crime do you have to commit in a past life to be condemned to white knight for a member of the most corrupt family in the history of American politics? You're a fucking goober.

Stoicism is one of the West’s most influential philosophical traditions, and author Ryan Holiday is its greatest advocate. And so, when he says that Ivanka Trump’s praise of Marcus Aurelius is “as cringe as it possibly gets, because it’s not real and it’s totally missing the point,” anyone who cares about Stoicism should pay attention. While Ivanka’s quotation of Marcus, on how “the soul becomes dyed the color of its thoughts,” reproduces the sentence accurately, explains Holiday, she fails to live up to the philosophy because she has not, in his terms, staged “an intervention with your dad whose life would be dyed with his horrible, negative, mean bullying thoughts all the time.” But what Holiday demands of Ivanka contradicts the stoic philosophy he claims to teach. “A man must know many things first,” wrote Marcus Aurelius in Book 11, “before he be able truly and judiciously to judge of another man’s action.” And yet Holiday does not entertain the possibility that Ivanka has thought carefully about her relationship to her father, that she has considered and rejected the path of public denunciation, or that her loyalty might itself reflect a moral commitment. Instead, he assumes that her silence about her father proves her unethical. Donald Trump’s tweets, his rallies, his rhetorical style, and his political career are not Ivanka’s to control. The very first sentence of Stoic Epictetus’s Handbook says, “Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions...” x.com/shellenberger/… Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning investigative journalism, read the rest of the article, and watch the full video! x.com/shellenberger/…

Tucker says whatever he thinks helps his narrative in the moment. He’s doesn’t care if it’s true. He’s the most dishonest person in political commentary, which isn’t easy to accomplish.
If you have any doubts about that, just watch the below video.

Here's the thing: if this WAS true, people like me would report it. Good writers have sources in all camps, with open communication even as critics. It's just not true, Tuckhead's manifesting it, and that's why the most basic question exposes he has no idea wtf he's talking about.

Donald Trump is quite literally the person least susceptible to blackmail in the entire world and yet everyone who gets mad at him decides that he must be controlled by a foreign nation

Tucker Carlson tells the NYT he doesn't use writers or notes. Says his monologues are ad lib.

If I'm wrong about Erika Kirk (I'm not), the worst I'll be guilty of is defending a woman from being tried without evidence.
If you're wrong about Erika Kirk, you'll be guilty of making a widow's life a living hell after an unspeakably horrific tragedy.

@QuetzalPhoenix The fact that redheads have a higher pain tolerance gives them such an advantage in sports like boxing.

Canelo Alvarez has revealed he went to a longevity clinic in Switzerland, and after 21 years as a pro with close to 70 fights, his brain is completely clean 🤯 His biological age was revealed to be 26, with zero chronic inflammation, and only three people in the world have ever had results like that, one being Bryan Johnson, who spends $2 million a year reversing his age.

@AGHamilton29 One guy is arguing for the truth.
The other guy is arguing for government (CIA) control.
Imagine defending the other guy.
