@aidannonx Category error to say he “betrayed” us, but the Supreme Court isn’t going to reverse precedent dating back to 1844

@philliplede When birthright citizenship is ended will you say Trump betrayed us or screwed us?

It’s not that you’ve been betrayed by Trump; you made a deal, in your head, with a man who doesn’t exist. If you buy a car from a used-car salesman and later realize he sold you a broken transmission, he didn’t “betray” you, he duped you. You got duped. He never committed not to cheat you; you just unthinkingly assumed he wasn’t going to. It’s like going to a loan shark expecting to speedily pay off the interest. The fault is not on the loan shark for acting as a loan shark, but you for failing to identify him as one.

@philliplede This is a horrible misrepresentation of the many good things Trump has actually done and planned to do There’s plenty of stuff he’s flip flopped on and failed to do or done that people disagreed with but this framing ignores that

From Trump’s vantage, he is genuine; he doesn’t intend to lie either—he’s simply employing tried-and-true sales tactics, waiting for the other party to negotiate. This is inconceivable to most of us because we operate with a sense of naive earnestness. The “form of life” we inhabit conditions us to conceive honesty as ‘simple immutability’; not so for NYC real estate developers, reality-show hosts, and politicians—Trump being all three simultaneously.

If Kirk was still alive and opposed the Iran War, Trump would be attacking him on Truth Social right now.

Prof. Jiang, who is definitely not a CCP asset, tells Tucker Carlson that the US should give up its role as world ‘hegemon’ and attempt an equal ‘partnership’ with China and Russia. Of course, China and Russia won’t attempt to take America’s perch because great powers are famously altruistic and never act in their self interest when their enemy relents.

Humans do not dwell on the face of the earth anymore, we move about, traversing aimlessly, each individually rootless as that tribe of desert nomads we call Jews.

Those claiming that casting Zendaya (who granted isn’t a great actor) as Chani in Dune ruined the trilogy are basically chuds who can’t enjoy art without importing their chud political thinking. It’s the greatest epic put to film in decades and people are seething because the fremen, who live on a desert planet, are brown.
