okay, wait, this isn't a broken CSS file or a caching issue? this is actually what Twitter looks like now?
some aesthetics and UIs are really best left in the 90s
The guiding principle thing seems to be, let's reimagine it with taking things for where they are and putting them where they don't make sense. (very modernist in a way)

The Federalist, with its secret funding, is a big advocate for sen Hawley. So no surprise that a Federalist writer attacks on his behalf. But Boot is certainly right. Hawley says that the purpose of civil government is not civil government or liberty or individual rights but ...
2/ rather to serve a Christ’s Kingdom. And if it doesn’t serve that end it has no legitimacy. Here’s Hawley ...
3/ Ed Kilgore had a very good essay on this a month or so ago. I really recommend it to you. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Mentioned this on Chris Hayes show earlier. One of the bizarre things abt Trumps racist squad tweets is that not only does the governments own workplace anti-discrimination manual invoke just this “go back to your country” language. But I suspect any member of Congress ...
2/ who tweeted the same stuff wouldn’t actually survive it. The House GOP caucus has essentially deplatformed Steve King for his various racist remarks. But it’s hard for me to think of anything King has said or written - and we’ve been following him for years - that’s worse ...
3/ than what Trump tweeted over the last few days. Think about it. I think if some GOP senator had tweeted this stuff he likely wouldn’t have survived it or at a minimum would be roundly denounced and forced to apologize. So what we’re seeing here is not only the ...

On these 71/72 analogies, a key issue. Back in I think 1971 Pat Buchanan, then a young aide and speechwriter to Nixon wrote a memo to the president and his top advisors in which he said - and this is close to verbatim but from memory - ‘we need to cut the country ...
2/ in half and I believe we will have the bigger half.” The big story of the next couple decades in American politics but certainly for 1971 and 1972 is that Buchanan was right. Nixon’s political strategy was abt polarizing the country - around the war, around race ...
3/ around crime. His half was bigger. Watergate upended that briefly. But only briefly. The logic of the Trump presidency is to continually divide the country, maximize polarization. The difference is that Trump’s half is clearly the smaller half. This was true even in victory.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

There are a lot of prominent people, who claim to be principled anti-war activists, who led us to believe that Hillary was the *real* threat, that should be absolutely ashamed to show their faces right now. Yet they're all pretending like it never happened.
None of this is surprising if you were paying attention & weren't looking to confirm your biases that #actually Trump might not be so bad (not as bad as Killary). Most of us saw the threat in real time & called it out. It wasn't subtle.
It's just so incredibly frustrating bc it was all so predictable. You demanded that every journalist & pundit who predicted the election results incorrectly be disgraced; yet this was infinitely more consequential. And yet, you've taken zero responsibility for your actions.
