.@Axios sneers at the “nobodies” running in California’s recall free-for-all. Common MSM attitude guaranteed to ensure all nobodies remain nobodies. (Caitlyn Jenner, on the other hand, is a “more serious contender” …) https://t.co/x9gjhI6bbS

Of course the @NYTimes blames those stupid “vaccinated Americans” who thought they were “completely shielded.” Can’t blame health experts who led them to think that. They are never wrong.

If it’s sold as a middle class tax cut and not as an antipoverty measure, doesn’t that make it easier for moderate Dems to argue for keeping the middle class tax cut parts and ditching the (“refundable”) welfare-checks-for-non-taxpayers parts? Just asking! https://t.co/rQ2XQkrsvW

Looks like Dems (after polling 7 one-line slogans) have decided on selling the Biden child checks as a tax cut that “lowers costs for working families.” The pitch about cutting child poverty didn’t test well? [PDF] https://t.co/LjkNVUD7hp…

I think it was in Asimow’s Foundation that they developed a computer program to analyze how much meaning various statements had, and for politicians it usually came out to zero.
This would be an example. Substantive meaning quotient = 0 https://t.co/34Z4uFv6WK
