@JonahDispatch Good article. You didn't mention it, but I think part of the confusion is the term "misdemeanor." In modern usage that is another type of crime, but I believe in this context it meant "malfeasance."

I understand that a lot of people don't read the articles on this site. But I am happy to concede for argument's sake that what Trump has done with this slush fund is legal. Impeachable offenses do not need to be illegal. Stop sending me your grok slop. thedispatch.com/article/trump-…

@jpodhoretz Let's throw in at least one (moderately) contemporary novel. I'd go with Bonfire of the Vanities.

@charlie0824 @buttonslives It’s hard to argue with that. As a somewhat disgruntled Protestant the ritual of the Catholic Church is pretty amazing.

I highly suggest the Catholic church, started by Jesus Christ. It's been continued, in an unbroken line of apostolic succession, from the first bishops, the 12 apostles. The typical Sunday mass is entirely scripturally based and there's a 2000-year-old tradition of Holy sacraments and rituals that bring us closer to Him and His scripture. We welcome ALL!

I think I’m going to give church another try. I need help understanding evil. Which kind of church talks about that?

@awstar11 Back in the day people said I looked like Hugh Grant or Robert Chambers, the preppie murder guy. I doubt Hugh would take the job and I’m not sure Robert is available.

@evanwch One of the reasons doctors won’t go into primary care is that they are easily replaced by nurse practitioners and physician assistants who now can now practice pretty independently in some places. Free primary care would just accelerate that.

Not a horrible idea but we will still have a supply issue. This would need to be tethered to other reforms for it to be successful. We would need to end the doctor cap enforced by the medical cartel and probably make medical school free for any American citizen who becomes a Primary care doctor and not a specialist. Currently, only around 12% of all doctors are primary care physicians because of the lower pay
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur

Scoop: Democratic think tank @SearchlightInst is pushing the party to embrace a new idea: Free primary care for all Americans. The group wants Dems to rethink their approach to health care and break out of the M4A vs ACA rut. They’re unimpressed with CAP’s proposal and warn that Dems need to have a vision beyond opposing Trump and restoring expired subsidies. “This is still our best issue, but we have not been on offense in a way that’s capturing people’s imaginations and getting them excited,” says @AJentleson. “We don’t need to be on defense or just advocating for incremental reforms.” Story w/ @BerkeleyJr: nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

@ablainer9 @watson2nd @gerrydee Couldn’t agree more. My lowest round is a 79 and since I started playing I am adamant that there is no such thing as a gimmie. There’s an absurd amount of fake scores/ fake handicaps out there. My 79 was legit. No Gimmies, no mulligans, no foot wedges EVER. Or just don’t post 🤷🏻‍♂️

@USronaldcarter “Your kid is learning multiplication tables”—that’s great if true. I thought schools were moving away from all of those time-tested methods.

🚨 This week Elon posted "my son is learning Mandarin" in Chinese characters from Beijing.. that same day.. 6-year-old X Æ A-Xii was standing inside the Great Hall of the People in a traditional vest and tiger-head bag.. in the same room as Tim Cook.. Jensen Huang.. and Chinese Premier Li Qiang.. and the wildest part.. Elon didn't bring him as a photo op.. he brought him as a student.. China is Tesla's single largest market.. the Shanghai Gigafactory builds more cars than any other Tesla plant on earth.. and Elon's 6-year-old is already in the room where the deals get made.. this is the same playbook every single time.. Elon brought kids to White House events.. to factory floors.. to rocket launches.. and described one son as his "emotional support human" at a state dinner.. he doesn't separate family from business.. he treats global market access as parenting.. your kid is learning multiplication tables.. his kid is learning Mandarin inside the building where America's most important trade relationships get decided. I'll share more updates shortly. Turn on notifications, this is very important.

@watson2nd @gerrydee Yes, this is right if you’re counting all the strokes, penalties, and no gimmes or mulligans. A lot of these guys who supposedly hit in the 80’s aren’t actually doing it.

@ropeuhdope2 @MarcoFoster_ @mehdirhasan Many people are aware of this but have the opinion that committing an act of war by attacking our embassy and taking hostages for over a year negated any deal made with the prior regime.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”
