If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

🎃 The pairing of marshmallows and sweet potatoes is uniquely American. It began as a marketing campaign in 1917 when the Angelus Marshmallow Company hired a recipe developer to promote marshmallows as a household ingredient.

If you were to write a satire about the American Christianity-themed lifestyle brand and who it serves, the David Brooks conversion story would be considered too heavy-handed and on-the-nose
Apparently, what causes cynicism and distrust isn't lawless elites being above the law, it is *talking about* how lawless elites are above the law.

I love that David Brooks, Ross Douthat, and Bret Stephens are constantly trying to one-up each other to see who can have the worst take printed on what used to be one of the nation’s premiere newspapers.

If that doesn’t send a message to the Republican Party, I’m not sure what will at this point.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

I hope all those who thought Chuck Schumer was "brilliant" for tendering a laughably weak compromise to end the government shutdown are well and truly chastened.
He either knew those 8 Senators were going to cave or he didn't (but should have.)
He's not brilliant at all. He's pathetic.
