I'm so sick of the right's "DEBATE ME, OR ELSE YOU ADMIT I'M RIGHT" culture. Seriously, if you don't agree with what I've said and have no interest in genuinely engaging, then just keep scrolling.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to be the very definition of "triggered snowflake" behavior that the right claims to hate so much.
That said, I do recognize that for many media conservatives, feeding "libtards" to the MAGA-lions is basically their business model. So I get it. I'm just not going to play along.

1. These Presidential rallies really are like nothing else in the history of American politics. We've had presidents who misrepresent the truth, presidents who whip up racial divisions for electoral gain, but we've never had one who could amp up a conservative crowd like this.
2. The @gop has got to be wondering, where do we go from here? Once your base has come to crave and expect the emotional rush that comes from one of these rallies, how do you feed that need once Trump is gone?
3. Do they really think the hundreds of thousands of people who have attended a Trump rally since 2015 are going to be moved by a "Little Marco" stump speech, a wonky Mitt lecture about civility, a polite Nikki Haley endorsement of global engagement & tolerating our differences?

1. In honor of Lyndon LaRouche's passing, I want to recommend this excellent podcast on the history of the concept of "cultural marxism." Why LaRouche? Cause it was a LaRouche-ite who wrote the 1992 article that launched the right wing obsession with CM. theoryofeverythingpodcast.com/2019/02/cultur…
2. It was this article in a fringe, LaRouche-sponsored magazine that launched the right wing obsession with so-called "cultural marxism." archive.schillerinstitute.com/fid_91-96/921_…
3. Martin Jay, one of the leading scholars of the Frankfurt School, was moved to inquire as to how such a distorted picture of Adorno's work had found its way into right wing discourse. That's when he stumbled upon that LaRouche-ite article. canisa.org/blog/dialectic…

David Brooks, who admires that elitist centralizer Alexander Hamilton, has discovered that he only likes elitist centralizing when it's the economic elite pursuing its economic interests, rather than a scientific elite pursuing evidence-based policy.
FWIW, here's an interesting Brooks piece from 2007 (feels like a century ago), lauding then-candidate Hillary Clinton for her pro-middle class economic policy proposals. He chided Republicans for having no ideas of their own. nytimes.com/2007/10/12/opi…
Fast forward 12 years and the Republicans still don't have any policy ideas about fostering greater economic opportunity, but now that the Dems have some, Brooks is quick to brand them as elitist, when the whole goal is to break down the power of the economic elite.

I use to be obsessed with molecules @Ezkanon. told me 5898 was code for Adrenochrome which yes and no. PubChem does tag it that number. What I found crazier was the molecule structure.

YES I KNOW WHAT IT IS AND HOW ITS MADE. This is why we fight. For the children.

#Sick #Evik
I say yes and no because its Identified by many different codes from many different chemical databases.

#Evil #Sick
I mean obsessed with what everything is made of and the molecule structure. This was like when I was 10-13. I learned what I wanted and moved on. To clarify.

Sur le dossier #CoréeduNord, #Trump continue de se bercer d'illusions mensongères- et bientôt perdues?Oui, #KimJongUn est bien d'accord pour ce qu'énonce le président US...à condition que les #EtatsUnis fassent le 1er pas, c.a.d fassent 1 traité de paix pour la guerre de Corée.RT
2) Pour l'heure, la comédie se poursuit car les 3 protagonistes ont intérêt d'y jouer: avant les #midterms,#Trump DOIT entretenir le récit de négociations se poursuivant. #KimJongUn fait preuve de bonne volonté pour complaire à la Chine. Et le sud-coréen #Moon a son rapprochement
3) Depuis le début de ce dossier #CoréeduNord, 1 question par définition sans réponse: pourquoi #KimJongUn, instruit des précédents Kadhafi et Hussein, détruirait-il les armes nucléaires et les vecteurs que son régime a mis tant d'argent et de volonté à bâtir? Non sens.

Company Culture Is ...

- What you say, and how often you say it
- What, when, and how you celebrate
- The losses and missteps you acknowledge, and how you respond
- How you behave when the chips are down
- What you fight for at all costs
- The corners you cut

(1/4) #culture
- Who you hire, promote, and compensate, and who you fire
- Who you “smoke out” until they leave the organization
- The worst behavior you accept and the best behavior you reject
- The voices you amplify, and the voices you suppress

(2/4) #culture
- When you encourage conformity, and when you promote diversity
- How you handle disagreements and differences in opinion
- How and where you spend your time and money
- What gets discussed out in the open, and behind closed doors

(3/4) #culture

1)La #CoréeduNord a tiré 1 nouveau missile:le 5e depuis le"feu et la fureur"promis par #Trump en août,le 2e au-dessus du Japon en 15 jours.
2)Si on ajoute l'essai nucléaire de la #CoréeduNord en septembre,les"rodomontades"verbales de #Trump sont ET ridiculisées ET improductives.
3)Le GROS problème est que #Trump est maintenant"dans la seringue"face à la #CoréeduNord à cause de ses paroles non suivies d'actes...

Selon la #CoréeduSud, la #CoréeduNord préparerait 1 nouvel essai de missile intercontinental...#Trump nytimes.com/2017/09/04/wor…
2)Ce nouvel essai serait très logique du point de vue de la #CoréeduNord.#Trump l'a menacé,donc le régime de Kim Jong Un veut le dissuader.
3)Ces démonstrations de la #CoréeduNord(bombe H,miniaturisation,missile intercontinental)ne préparent pas 1 attaque sur les USA/alliés MAIS
