I dunno. I think “you’re not going to drag us into your s—ty war” was, in retrospect, an entirely appropriate statement [about Libya]. We should have stuck with it./"Why would Biden pick a human lightning rod as VP?" https://t.co/DFIBmdMdI5

I cut Bass some slack here — basically all local pols deal with the Church of Scientology when they are major property owners (stakeholders) in their district neighborhoods. It's often embarrassing! https://t.co/aw8TDOEkpa

Right. And they will smartly focus on those changes that will ensure they never lose an election again (more states, a massive amnesty + immigration-doubling bill) … https://t.co/AcTuFilebE

If it's their "right," why do they need a consistent "policy"? Free speech doesn't require consistency. Why can't they say "We're Woke Dems and we hate your guts–especially you!–so you're banned"? The answer has to be they have some kind of common carrier obligation, no? https://t.co/yym1wgiDhg

Of course, Dems won't say they're ending filibuster to pass immigration amnesty — they know, per David Shor, that when they talk about their immigraiton plans it hurts them with voters. https://t.co/2pLfCxN7sP Good thing Jared doesn't want to talk about immigration either! https://t.co/Jt4uyFcwpT

Could it be clearer: If Dems win the Senate the filibuster is dead, dead, dead,. And a massive amnesty bill will be the result (it's in the "etc.") https://t.co/sWhmVoyurO

One significant thing is that @harrispolitico thinks it's "not too late to pull an LBJ." Good to hear. I was worried that it was, even with the Feiler Faster Thesis. https://t.co/S4oEk5YgeO

Trump's non-starter election-delay tweet makes the LBJ Scenario more plausible, no? He clearly a) knows he's losing and b) is thinking of bold actions! Some kind of mental dialectic at work. Good time to leave at the top and become a kingmaker? … https://t.co/r461bSoxIh

Again if Lincoln Project-types succeed in electing a Dem President & Senate, IT WON'T MATTER if they also succeed in taking over the Republican party. The Dems will pass an immigration bill making a "sober center right party" in US a permanent loser-see CA https://t.co/FuRctgmLE0

If Trump might somehow get the Postal Service to screw around with the ballots, that doesn't make the Dems vote-by-mail push a better idea. It makes it a bigger disaster. https://t.co/QhXl9Bm61K via @NewYorker

Corporations can have a "culture"–CEOs are always pledging to change theirs. Machismo has a "culture." Cancellation has a "culture." But different economic & ethnic groups can't have "cultures"? https://t.co/5bSrDQ2mDk
