Larry Summers? The economist? They're merely talking about sports here!

I wouldn't go anywhere near the White House until the 20,000 released docs are combed over, especially in a place like the Situation Room.

"you might want to tell your dem friends that treating trump like a mafia don, ignores the fact that he has great
dangerous power. . tightening the noose too slowly, risks a very bad situation." -Epstein in 2018

They don't need to criticize him. They need only deflect blame for themselves, which folding early allowed them to do, so the monster claim only applies to Trump, who is apparently immune to such accusations.

If I may reference the movie Heat: "Vincent, both of them are not carrying anything."

So since Congress - which includes Republicans - had already agreed to fund SNAP, can't Republicans in Congress just argue that they weren't going to starve people? That it was the executive that was fighting it in the courts, not the legislative.

The courts were ruling in favor of the Dem “no one should starve” position already, though. Courts were saying SNAP should be fully funded, in fact, as of this week, so it’s not like they expedited SNAP funding by folding.

If these people were so safe, then why not stick with their own party?

Either didn't control them, or did control them and just tried to save face by having retiring/non-election year Dems vote for it.

It's not like he's calling them out, so what's he leading?

Durbin voted for it, and he's the No. 2 Senate Dem, the minority whip.

Like I get that he can't control everyone, but he didn't even control his own leadership. Klobuchar is No. 3 and she voted against it.

Right before finding out which way SCOTUS comes down on the question of starving millions of children? That's the worst, stupidest time to cave. It's really weird that Dem Senators are posting pretending like they don't know that.

Sheldon Whitehouse absolutely understood what Jackson, J did. 🧵

But Ecclesiastes says this is chasing after the wind. Even the paragons and villains of our age will be lost to time, and nothing is new under the sun.

The truth is that no man is an island, that perspective is limited, that power is limited.

"Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?"

Even this healthcare shit taps into that same vein. "Why not just give YOU the money? Doesn't that increase your individual power, and isn't that all that really matters?"

With images of powerful individuals validating that sense of "Yes! This could work! Look how it's worked for them!"
