Geeze Scott, shocking how you are the only sane man left after every formerly valid interlocutor on both the right and the left proved themselves unworthy. What an amazing coincidence that was in no way easily predictable from the mountain of verbal grey goo that comprises your career to date.

Can anyone explain to me how the WTO suddenly disappeared? For 20 years I heard nothing but globalization through poenalties set by the WTO and then what happened? Where is it?

Saw on Instagram that some local mansion is getting torn down and replaced with a five-story apartment building and of course the xomments are full people crying about Brooklyn becoming "only for rich people".
Brothers in Christ who do you think owned and sold the mansion.

Welcome new followers. I should warn you that while my political opinions are always impeccably correct, the level of bisexual thirst trap posting on this account is not zero.
On a completely related note, here's a picture of Manny Jacinto and Dianne Doan.

I hate to say it, but if you have some way of watching 60 Minutes that will feed into some sort of direct count of how many viewers this segment gets (ie: via streaming) it would probably behoove us all to do that.

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved.
She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused.
So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.

Okay hats off. Mamdani’s media team are really, really good. So much of this job is understanding that mayor of NYC is a faintly ridiculous gig: you’re the most powerful schmendrick in the city and that’s it. You can either lean into it or get steamrollered by it.
More public restrooms across our city?

I have at this point one and exactly one question I want answered by any would be Democratic presidential candidate and that’s “will you order the FBI and DHS to cooperate with a Minnesota grand jury for Jonathan Ross even if Trump preemptively pardons him?”
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

🚨BREAKING: DEMS DRAW RED LINE IN DHS APPROPS: NO FUNDING INCREASE FOR ICE. POLICY RIDERS GROWING. STORY COMING IN MIGRANT INSIDER
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.
Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.
Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

The core problem is that there is no point bargaining with an oathbreaker.
If a durable agreement with the US was possible, I'd be arguing that Canada, the EU, whoever, should swallow its pride, step back from the brink and make a deal.
But with Trump, he'd just tear it up next week.

ALL YOU NEED IS KILL is beautifully animated, but good thing I edited the novel, wrote the treatment for the film, gave notes on the the spec screenplay, wrote the graphic novel, and read the manga because oh boy were they struggling to tell a comprehensible story in the new anime.

The biggest thing that blackpilled me on housing costs was a paper from the mid 00s which said "as recently as the 1960s someone who was on drugs who did basic day labor could afford a safe small single room even in expensive cities. In an attempt to remove this cities invented homelessness
Positively shocked that the house magazine of the Manhattan Institute is upset that my book refuses to attribute America's record-high homelessness to "personal choices"—rather than, say, rents outpacing income gains by 325 percent since 1985.
