... And Roe is settled law, he'd never weaponize the DOJ, I'll never interfere with CDC experts, and I've never been blackmailed by Putin and Epstein.

If every reporter there pushed back in concert, if every university and law firm and network and foreign leader stood together and told Trump to F himself, he'd be defenseless.

He ended the war between Oceania and Melania.

Fair enough if you start w/that premise. But narrowly viewing antitrust by whether something helps consumers short term, rather than hurts competition long term, is what got us Amazon, ClearChannel, Beltone, 3 major airlines, a few giant supermarket chains, media consolidation, ad infinitum.

You'd think Russian bots could get their own dates.

So now he's in a literal pissing match with Trump.

Richard Hardack @richardhardack.bsky.social · 28d

It's almost as if Trump used to plant stones about himself in the press or call in to radio shows to talk about himself while pretending to be someone else.

Ay ay AI.

I was fortunate to take a course of his in college, and he's a convincing champion of the pragmatism of idealism. He also had us read Richard Barnet's The Roots of War, which is a brilliant, terrifying and now sadly overlooked expose of the US espionage mindset.
