Nothing defeats a pithy thought quicker than a typo!

@MYCROFT___XXX @JonathanJColton All good!!

@johnohsee @JonathanJColton My mistake! Must have been half asleep.

(Frank Frazetta aside) Who is the top Conan comic book artist of all time? A. Cary Nord B. John Buscema C. Rob De La Torre D. Barry Windsor Smith

@TheWinstonFinch @reasnottodateme @james_xond I’m no fan of his by any stretch… name a better one this century…

@reasnottodateme @james_xond You can’t blame it on race, he was just a bad President.

Can anyone pinpoint the exact moment when everything in society started getting noticeably worse?

@adammocklerr @GeraldoRivera Geraldo calling someone obnoxious ? Please.

I confront @GeraldoRivera after he called me a dick.

@peterdutton @DanKelleySports @dilanesper I’d wager the Islanders future is a wee bit brighter.

@DanKelleySports @dilanesper I remember the chants of "1940! 1940!" at Islanders-Rangers games at Nassau Coliseum in 1983, referring to the last time the Rangers won the Stanley Cup. And now 1983 is as far from 2026 as 1940 was from then 😳

Incredibly, none of the 1983 champions have won another title since then: MLB - Baltimore Orioles NBA - Philadelphia 76ers NFL - Los Angeles / Las Vegas Raiders NHL - New York Islanders #1983jinx #Orioles #76ers #Raiders #Islanders

@mike_g_money @inmateprof @deadwronghist Since we were discussing McCarthy and communism in gov’t, Marshall is Germaine to the conversation.

@johnohsee @inmateprof @deadwronghist I don’t worship Flynn but he’s an example, you don’t know what real political persecution is if you use George Marshall as an example.

Roy Cohn spent decades as Donald Trump's mentor and McCarthy's enforcer, destroying careers by labeling men as communists and homosexuals. In 1986, CBS asked him whether he was one.

@mike_g_money @inmateprof @deadwronghist Guy; you don’t know the first thing about me. Go worship Flynn and his ilk and have a cold drink.

Flynn is the example of a general who served with honor and was bankrupted in the court, spied on, his son threatened with indictment to get him to plead guilty, etc. But you get your panties in a wad because George Marshall was called a few names in a hearing and still cry about it 80 years later. Like that’s even comparable to the level of professional and personal harassment you Democrats love to inflict on your enemies.

@mike_g_money @inmateprof @deadwronghist My lot? Bold assumption kiddo. What Does Flynn have to do with ANY of this? Moreover, didn’t Flynn plea guilty to his charges?

@johnohsee @inmateprof @deadwronghist Not even 1/10th the grief your lot put men like General Flynn through over nothing.

@inmateprof @deadwronghist the history of man. A conspiracy of infamy so black that, when it is finally exposed, its principals shall be forever deserving of the maledictions of all honest men

@inmateprof @deadwronghist conspiracy: How can we account for our present situation unless we believe that men high in this government are concerting to deliver us to disaster? This must be the product of a great conspiracy, a conspiracy on a scale so immense as to dwarf any previous such venture in…

@johnohsee @deadwronghist I'm just reading a list of policy criticisms. Where does he accuse him of being a Communist?

@inmateprof @deadwronghist Sure about that ? alphahistory.com/coldwar/joseph…

@johnohsee @deadwronghist He implied that his policies created an environment for Communist aggression in Europe and Asia. But he never called him one.

@inmateprof @deadwronghist George C. Marshall ?

@johnohsee @deadwronghist If you want to be technical about it, McCarthy didn't falsely accuse anyone. I get he created an atmosphere and had a shotgun approach. As a Senator, everyone he interviewed was at least a sympathiser or security risk. It was a bigger problem than history books want to admit.

@inmateprof @deadwronghist I don’t doubt that there were spies assisting the Soviets, but McCarthy’s inability to get an accurate or consistent number totally undermined his actions. Not to mention the ones he got wrong.

@johnohsee @deadwronghist Read the declassified Venona Cables. He was right. OK, fine, he was a drunk, but he was right about Soviet sympathisers and Communists in our government and industries.

@inmateprof @deadwronghist McCarthy was a drunken bully who made up facts when he needed them.

@deadwronghist Roy Cohn is a hero. McCarthy was right.

@MYCROFT___XXX @JonathanJColton It’s signed by Frazetta…

@johnohsee @JonathanJColton That's actual Brom.

@TheFl0orIsLaVa Nope. Not a cult at all.

I lost brain cells watching this.

@PeterMoskos @BrooklynBus Well… certainly almost anything can and did happen. So there’s that…

@BrooklynBus I'm not quite certain why we see 1980 New York as the ideal.

So why not put a Canal back on Canal St and a Wall back on Wall St, according to your logic? How about the alternative of leaving things just as they are and to stop wasting scarce funds that could repaint faded lane markings and repave streets to reduce potholes?

@td_nash A tie between Dio & Daltry.

Who’s the greatest?🧐

@JasonJournoDC @ScottJenningsKY Geraldo is just about the last person to comment.

💥NEW: Geraldo Rivera says Adam Mockler was "D*CK" to @ScottJenningsKY before he snapped💥 "Chris, the kid was a d*ck ... he was really being a d*ck. Shut up. Go out and get some life experience." "There was a freshness about it."
