Thought @GroovyBruce might appreciate the following

@Keith_Wasserman Make money in tech. Watch it all go up in flames because you failed to support public goods. Watch people laugh at you're pain because your an odious piece of shit.

@DouthatNYT @reihan Anyone else notice how each week fewer and fewer of Ross’s co hosts are willing to appear with him

This week's Matter of Opinion has special guest @reihan and a foray into video: nytimes.com/2024/11/22/opi…

@samstein Sadly, what the public wants is performative cruelty. And that's really not the sort of thing that we should be delivering...

NEW — The current argument gaining credence among Dems: The problem wasn’t that the party failed to sell the public on what it delivered, it was that it delivered them the wrong things. “We didn’t deliver what people wanted" Ron Klain tells me thebulwark.com/p/why-deliveri…

@AndrewYang How many additional paycheck would you have been able to collect, you grifting fuckwit?

If you’re still ticked off at the Dems protecting Joe Biden for months imagine having run Dean Phillips’ campaign to force a primary. andrewyang.com/blog/tired-of-…

@tribelaw @Lawrence I'm sure that Gaetz will be responsible for all sorts of deaths as well. He just hasn't had the same opportunities as Kennedy.

Killer Kennedy is even worse than Goofball Gaetz in the estimation of the always astute @Lawrence O’Donnell

@AndrewYang Stop pretending that your latest grift was some kind of act of valor. When was the last time you drew a real pay check for actual work rather than shilling for gelato boy or taking money from the rubes?

Joe Biden failed the test of knowing when to step aside and history will judge him for it. But he had a lot of help.

For all the Dems distressed by Trump’s Cabinet picks - where were you when Joe Biden and the Dems canceled their own primary to prop Joe up? Dean Phillips called this all “predictable and preventable” and he was spot on.

@Timodc How well did the Great War on Terror turn out for all the war dead? Feel's like JVL has a strong case of survivor's bias. I won't bother with the obligatory Keynes quote...

The case for Trumpism being transitory and everyone except me just moving on in 5 years. Not gonna get much of this at The Bulwark next two years so enjoy it while you can! thebulwark.com/p/what-if-some…

@AndrewYang Osbourne lost by 7 points fuckwit.

On the other hand an Independent like Dan Osborn put Nebraska in play and so did Evan McMullin in Utah. A new approach to politics is vital. ⬆️🇺🇸

The Democrats will essentially never re-take the Senate unless they somehow become competitive in multiple red states which is nearly impossible. It’s the math. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

@DouglasLumsden1 I got a bunch of them for playing jenga

I’m debating whether to buy a few of these 8-ft.-wide, 49-ft.-long, 9.5-ft.-tall steel shipping containers Twitter has insisted on advertising in my feed for the past week. I might get the refrigerated one. Price isn’t listed, but how expensive could they be?

I need pets and massages

@TaylorLorenz @briantylercohen You touch on this in the piece. Systems where relatively small benefits flow to large numbers of people present very different organizational challenges than ones in which large benefits flow to small numbers of people. Not sure how to skin this particular cat.

@briantylercohen I wrote about all of this here! usermag.co/p/why-democrat…

A note to Dem politicians and campaigns: You won't persuade voters with a one-off appearance on a popular podcast the week before the election (which is not a knock on Harris' campaign; she only had a couple months so they did all they could). The reason Republicans are winning over so many young people is because the right invests hours and hours, everyday, every month, every year in audience-building among its influencer class. We can't compete by sticking our candidates on an episode one time in October of an election year. Democrats need to embrace YEAR-ROUND progressive media (either directly political or political-adjacent) if we want to compete. But you cannot only remember independent media outlets exist 2 weeks before an election-- not in a media environment where the vast majority of Americans (and practically ALL persuadable Americans) are consuming content on alternative outlets.

@jonopandolfi New glee dishes just arrived and have already been put to work Hard red wheat berries with preserved lemon, salt roasted tomato, and chicken stock

@AndrewYang I suspect that it's more that you're a grifting asshole, but "cross a line" is a lot more polite.

I was told by a friend that the Harris campaign had me on a list of people not to use because I had ‘crossed a line’ with my criticism of Joe Biden. I know I wouldn’t have made that big a difference but that’s indicative of a dysfunctional culture.

If the job is/was defeating Trump, the Democratic Party is objectively bad at its job.

@AndrewYang Laughing at you and your obvious grifting, for the most part. Harris ran a great campaign. She wasn't able to overcome an incredibly strong world wide anti incumbent trend. Phillips is a joke. And if he hadn't paid you a whole lot of $$$, you wouldn't give a damn about him.

Where were the Dems criticizing Joe Biden today for not dropping out earlier back in January when Dean Phillips was actually running against him trying to force a primary? Nowhere to be found.

@AndrewYang Give Elon a nice sloppy blow job Andrew! maybe he'll share some of his ill gotten games with you!

One of the Dems biggest mistakes was antagonizing Elon. He has done more for the Earth - and electric cars - than any other human being.

@intentionally But half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid. The question is how best to exploit this... The Republicans have found one effective strategy. We need another.

I voted for her. I think he’s a bad guy. But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.

Jesus fucking christ. What is wrong with this country? I am shoping that this is a red mirage, but tonight is feeling way too much like 2016. If Trump wins, this is going to be so much worse than 2016. What hurts most is that I was feeling good about things up until 8:00 or so
