If houses were actually growing more affordable, of course, then the real estate lobby would definitely want to subsidize demand to stop that dangerous trend in its tracks. https://t.co/W5n4NWvtik

Of course, you don’t need underage girls to run a kompromat operation. Sex with overage girls can often be “leverage” enough. … That said, victims’ attorney Brad Edwards leaves open the underage possibility: ” [A] SELECT FEW of these men engaged in sexual acts with a select few https://t.co/il3awCVrCN

I guess the easy compromise–on the less important, Kennedy Center/Broken Windows issues–is to ignore Trump Rufo-style and let the courts decide against him where appropriate. I’m sure there are potential problems with this, e.g. courts get too caught up in their “no” role on

The Broken Windows (https://t.co/WK7HzDtvXm) vs. Dao of Trumpism (https://t.co/OS5cdAJtJF) debate seems central. I’m on the fence. Some tentative thoughts:

This really is a pathetic lead paragraph. ‘Despite all the stories we’ve been pushing for 11 months, none of the things we’ve been harping on to get at Trump seem to have had much impact on the economy. What about *our* needs?’ What’s the next stage beyond “cope”? https://t.co/TyZFJxQcao
