Only out pathetic’ed by “it’s for the children” crowd.
“Give me money because the people you hate hate me” is the most pathetic form of politics and it defines so much of both parties these days.

Predicting the expected is not worth tweeting about, let alone patting yourself on the back for.

I have never met a Josh I like…
Merrick Garland has turned the DOJ into a political hit team for Joe Biden. There is no more impartial DOJ - the White House is using law enforcement to do its bidding

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Tweets like this only show that others will allow another person to gin up fear for the purpose of muddying their own thinking & thus allow another to set the terms & terminology of & for the argument.

It's easy to oppose 'Russian aggression,' but to what end? Is it in our interest to risk WWIII & nuclear war to weigh in on who controls parts of Ukraine?

Being anti-war is being pro-aggressor.

Being anti-war is like being anti-self-defense because it is better to have one bloody person than two.

Say what you want about me, but I acquired the world’s largest non-profit for $44B lol

Moderation in moderation is not moderation but rather abdication.
All things in moderation, especially content moderation

My vote: Crazy conspiracy theorist.
Does anyone find all this stuff a bit odd or am I a crazy conspiracy theorist?

There is no “the press”, but rather “the presses.” And everyone believes at least one press or another. So, @elonmusk is again being intellectually sophomoric.
Some of the smartest people I know actively believe the press … amazing

American-made spoons!!
Why not have the construction workers work with spoons? That'll create a lot of jobs.

🙀
The 13th in the world on infrastructure stat is such shady nonsense. We’re number one among the ten largest countries - both in terms of population and geography.

This is one of the most hyperbolic tweets I have ever read.
That was one of the most partisan State of the Union speeches I've ever heard.

The stake to my heart…
Biden to economists (in buy American passage): drop dead

Nobody should be praising any form of populism!
What a brilliant, refreshing speech that revives true American populism—progressive democratic populism, not right-wing authoritarian fake-populism. Biden sounds Rooseveltian and is taking American politics by storm.

Because you still have a job…
If Joe Biden’s economy’s so good, why do over 70% of Americans think our country is on the wrong track? #SOTU

And “pretty soon we’ll be a communist country.”
Motorists in the 1980s react to new laws against drinking and driving.

Your hero worship is unbecoming…
Replying to @RubinReport
And I say that clearly seeing that my own reach is being crushed. Everyone take a breath, they try to fix things and then other things break. Elon ain’t the enemy here…

Why do you & your ilk not just wait before speculating w/ commentary & conspiracy theories? It is not solely on the police & local gov’t’s to handle information a/b these situations differently but also on the class of talking heads & politicians who profit from uncertainty.
The Paul Pelosi attack video seems clear to me: This was a hostage situation and he is lucky to be alive. Why was this not released IMMEDIATELY to clear up all the confusion?
