@UnenthusedSlime @FilmThePoliceLA Sure there can be healthy disagreement in the party but Mamdani is closer to Biden than to Hasan. There is no healthy disagreement with Hasan. If he got in power he would immediately line democrats up and kill them and violently suppress any opposition. He’s not a Democrat.
English
Two ex republicans debating whether Dems should embrace Hasan.
There’s a large contingent of ex republicans on cable news who are seen as the representing Democrats. Why are Dems ok with these people representing them but are hesitant to include the left?
@
This is The Bulwark. We don’t all think one thing! I think Tim is wrong on Hasan Piker, so we hashed it out. Listen to us work through it in a format much more conducive to a productive discussion than Twitter dunks.
English
@goatcats @FilmThePoliceLA One of the two GOP commentators he’s chastising Democrats for elevating literally called Mamdani a malign actor in the segment being discussed.
English
@FilmThePoliceLA You are obviously being regarded. No one is saying to not include the left. Mamdani for example is just fine. The issue is with the ILLIBERAL Marxist-Leninist Tankie fucks who hate America and the Jews.

@aRimmer3 @_jeremyflores I’m not necessarily of the opinion that the technology is inherently evil, but it’s obvious the industry is captured by a group of accelerationists who could never give a fuck about handing the left “wins”/power in exchange for their support.
English
@aRimmer3 @_jeremyflores They’ve become increasingly intertwined, a trend that was definitely evident in the lead up and aftermath of that election (Meta being the perfect example, though a number of other Trump boosters in the sector also happened to benefit greatly from Obama-era policy).
English
I mean, you also promoted a job opening at Anthropic a few days ago, calling it “one of the best products released in years!!”
English
@aRimmer3 @_jeremyflores So there mustn’t have been any work being done to develop it in that time period then!
Be serious man. The Obama admin hands the tech sector dump trucks of money and squashes any regulation at their behest and they still provide full-throated support for Trump 2024.

Leftists cancelling me for using Claude code and cooking based off the Google AI recipe suggestions… I see why that political movement has absolutely zero power. 🫠
English
@frumpersby @AaronRegunberg So you’re saying dems should spend the next two weeks debating what they think about Hasan?
English
@AaronRegunberg This is so fucking dishonest, when half of the reason so many of Hasan's critics dislike him is that he never seems to focus on Republicans or Trump except when it gives him a chance to say the Democratic party is just as bad.
English
I hate to contradict Third Way but I’m gonna go out on a crazy limb and say it’d probably be more electorally valuable for every Dem to spend the next two weeks hammering this line rather than debating what we all think about Hasan Piker.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

@clevercolt64 @AnaKasparian “You can’t judge a politician because they have higher ambitions”
How about you engage with the fact that she’s being duplicitous about funding Israeli weapons? This kind of empty engagement with politics is one of the chief reasons nobody trusts the DNC to meet the moment.
English
It’s kind of wild that you motherfuckers take shots at people who have the possibility of being a presidential candidate that has some of the similar views that you have that how America should be run however you don’t like all their votes that they do in Congress not everybody’s going to vote the same fucking way you want them to vote. I understand I don’t like fucking Israel as well however taking shots at somebody who would possibly be a candidate in 2028 and feeding propagandist fucking red meat against possible candidate is retarded.
English
Sure, I might be untalented. Up to others to decide.
But I can deduce that voting “no” on legislation that would cut arms to Israel amounts to supporting U.S. funded arms to Israel…as they carry out war crimes and atrocities daily.
Those crimes are committed with zero fear of blowback thanks to the defensive capabilities Americans are forced to bankroll.
In addition to voting no on that legislation last year, in 2021 you originally (and correctly) voted “no” on a bill to funnel an extra $1 billion to Israel on top of the $3.8 Billion we already send them every year. You got a little pressure from your corrupt colleagues, changed your vote to “present” and then wept about it…literally. Is that what political “talent” looks like?
Israel was enjoying an economic surplus that year. We, on the other hand, were not.
As for cashing checks, I’d respectfully ask you to remember who pays yours. It’s the people you’re lying to right now.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC
@AnaKasparian I never have. Feel free to continue lying publicly, though. Those checks don’t cash themselves and you aren’t talented enough to be relevant with the truth.
English
@ABaczk @DRBoguslaw That he’s better than all those reactionary leftist reporters whose work isn’t as respectable as his own!
English
This makes the third worldist left and neocon right look so stupid. There is no ground invasion. Nobody save for ken looked at the actual troop deployments/naval movements. Everyone is endless scare mongering to sell leftoids/neocons news.
Ken Klippenstein@kenklippenstein
A conventional ground invasion of Iran is not imminent; military sources tell me that the Pentagon is just trying to scare them using strategic deception: kenklippenstein.com/p/is-a-ground-…

I hope it eventually seeps into western popular understanding that the axis of polarization in Iran isn't really social liberalism anymore its support for the Islamic Republic as an idea. IRIB or Press TV LOVE it when libbed out matchazadeh hipsters show up at government rallies.

@joethe_duck @sperburger @slattemar @VigilantFox The onus is on you in this conversation to explain how Iran waiting for US provocation to attack US interests isn't retaliatory, because that meets the exact definition.
English
@sperburger @slattemar @VigilantFox And hence, the narrowed definition. They were attacking our interests. Full stop.
So no, it wasn't retaliatory strikes. Again, Kent is misleading.
Your notion that Israel is using the US as a proxy is just dumb and doesn't hold under scrutiny.

Mark Levin abruptly cuts to a commercial break after telling Joe Kent to “talk more slowly” and focus on “one point at a time.”
JOE KENT: “Secretary Rubio said there was no imminent threat coming from Iran against the Americans.”
MARK LEVIN: “He corrected that.”
JOE KENT: “There was an imminent threat coming from the Israelis, who were going to attack [Iran].”
MARK LEVIN: “Hold on, hold on. We’re going to do it honestly. One point at a time.”
JOE KENT: “The Iranians had observed an escalation ladder. They hadn’t attacked us under President Trump.”
MARK LEVIN: “Can you do me a favor, and I don’t mean to be rude. Can you talk a little more slowly? I’m having trouble hearing. Take your time. Go ahead.”
JOE KENT: “Sure. When President Trump came into office, the Iranians knew that President Trump wanted to get a deal.”
“They observed the escalatory ladder very carefully.”
“They stopped having our proxies attack us like they were attacking us under the Biden administration.”
“And they got to the negotiating table with us about the nuclear agenda.”
“When the 12 Day War kicked off, and the Israelis started that, the Iranians still didn’t attack us.”
MARK LEVIN: “We have to take a break.”
The Vigilant Fox 🦊@VigilantFox
🚨 BREAKING: Mark Levin puts Joe Kent on the spot and repeatedly asks if he leaked any classified or confidential information. He asks him straight up: “Were you a leaker?” Here’s how the exchange unfolded: MARK LEVIN: “Were you a leaker?” JOE KENT: “I never leaked any classified information.” “The stories you’re reading are stories from leakers who are leaking… an investigation about me being a leaker.” MARK LEVIN: “So nobody has contacted you from Justice or the FBI or anything like that?” JOE KENT: “Nope.” MARK LEVIN: “Did you ever leak confidential? Let me do it this way.” “Did you ever leak classified information? You said no. Did you ever leak confidential information?” JOE KENT: “Nope.” MARK LEVIN: “Never?” JOE KENT: “Never.” MARK LEVIN: “You’re on the record… That’s a good thing, Joe.”

@souljagoyteller @emeriticus Yeah, when you get your guy into office after at least half century of being shut out of power, the valence of dissidence shifts obviously. "Dur you're not a dissident against yourself now too?" Did you think you were making a point?
English
What is the “dissident right” even dissenting from anymore. This is the John McCain agenda

@I_D_A_U_ @ShanuMathew93 Is it terrifying because it’s bad for states to secure cooperation and soft power through large scale investments in infrastructure or because it’s China doing it?
English
@ShanuMathew93 It's all part of the Belt & Road hooks into other countries to indebt them and secure compliance in international affaris and resources for China. That's what should truly terrify you.
English
"China’s exports of solar modules, batteries and EVs are flooding parts of the developed and developing world. Chinese firms have pledged US$225 - $250 billion to green manufacturing projects outside of China, an amount that now surpasses the inflation adjusted value of US aid during the post-WWII Marshall Plan. The chart on the right illustrates how China’s production capacity for solar modules, wind turbines, EV battery cells and EVs was much higher than its actual production in 2024. These are startling figures that are (a) encouraging if your perspective is global decarbonization and (b) terrifying if your perspective is the CEO of competing companies elsewhere in the world that are exposed to Chinese competition."

I’ve heard four different rationales for what this Administration is doing in Iran. There is no strategy.

@floatinganarch @Popstonox I’ve seen some very legitimate criticisms of both her and her campaign from the left prior to this whole policy paper debacle so understand she’s not being attacked in a vacuum. Not going to present myself as an expert here though so not going to bat for everybody involved.
English
@UnenthusedSlime @Popstonox No? It’s totally fine to acknowledge and disagree with it. But a lot of the rhetoric I’ve seen has gone well beyond that.

Kat Abughazaleh on Breaking Points says the US should codify providing aid to Taiwan in the case of an invasion from China
"Any sort of military aid to Taiwan is an absolute last resort. We need to be reinvesting into diplomacy between Taiwan and China.
If the Taiwanese people pass a referendum for reunification with China, I'm supportive of that. That is their choice. But invasion is where we draw the line."
Ryan Grim clarifies, "does military aid mean shipping weapons or actively participating in and assisting in the defense?"
"Shipping weapons. We should not have US troops deployed on Taiwanese soil."
