Downright silly.

She repeatedly said that the people who are confirming her were evil, and now she’s surprised that they aren’t interested in confirming her?
To say nothing of the Russian Collusion hoax she helped push.
This one’s pretty insulting, too (and also just wrong)
Although I bet Cuomo would confirm her!

🧵Thread🧵

It seems not all pointless foreign wars are created equally in the eyes of the Democrats, the media, and the chattering class.

When Trump hit Syria, it was an outrage. But under Biden? Well, apparently things are different.⤵️
I’ll get to the usual structure in a second but I had to start with this beauty from @Lawrence. ImageImage
You may remember that, when a strike was carried out without congressional approval under Trump, it was met with immediate blowback in Congress.

But now, when @SpeakerPelosi has the ability to actually bring the House back in session, we get crickets.

Funny, that. ImageImage

The case for limited government gets stronger every day.
Washington, DC is full of enormously - perhaps uniquely - stupid and immature people, and it only seems to get worse over time.
I can feel myself slowly becoming a l*bertarian at the thought of living under a set of rules made by these types of people.

Nothing so perfectly captures the distinction betwen the chattering class and everyday Americans as this piece.

While normal people worry about paying their bills and their kids' educations, Rubin et al are relieved that our new president can act sufficiently sad for her liking.
This is also jarringly ahistorical. Whatever else you may think of Lincoln, it's revisionist to say that he provided "comfort for a national tragedy" when he **was assassinnated** while people **were still fighting the Civil War**
And, conversely, it's silly to say that Biden is providing comfort in any meaningful way now (although hopefully he will soon! that would be great! and he seems well-suited!) - unless somehow this speech has comforted the whole country alongside Rubin (I'm skeptical)

What, you’re telling me this guy has nothing to educate CPAC about?!
Obviously yet another victim of cancel culture.
This man appears to be both an anti-Semite and also a...denier of the existence of the Jews? Did I get that right?

A lot of media outlets are more comfortable extending charity to terrorists than conservatives when they leave this life.

The passing of Rush Limbaugh was the latest reminder. If you don’t believe me, look how his obits stack up to Iranian butcher Qasem Soleimani.⤵️
I ask this earnestly:

If your only exposure to each man was @nytimes’s respective obituaries, would you rather be Rush “divisive style of mockery, grievance and denigrating language” Limbaugh or Qassim “master of Iran’s intrigue” Suleimani?
It would be one thing if this were just one outlet with an off-color and confrontational obit.

But it wasn’t. I mean. Cmon, @Reuters.

Limbaugh gets distilled down to a “Trump ally” but Soleimani “sought stability”

This is peak ‘play stupid games win stupid prizes’ territory. I think Haberman’s general contention is probably true but it’s because people like Haley invest their time and energy trying to play sides/win favors rather than have principle/govern.
So if you’re a pol whose moral and intellectual center isn’t enough to ground you (see Haley, Nikki) then, yes, you’re going to get burned and snubbed.
Which I think is a feature, not a bug, of the system. It punishes fake people far more than it does people who are committed to something (even something you or I may not like) - people with some kind of through-line, like Romney or Larry Hogan, Cotton or Mike Lee.
