“Graham Platner thought it would be fun to go to hell & back. In fact the former soldier of fortune did do repeatedly. Now he works for his mom’s seafood restaurant, wears flannel & has a simple message for Maine simpletons. ‘Having a Nazi tattoo doesn’t make me a Nazi. Make me US Senator.’”

REPORTER: Can you say definitively that you have not been intoxicated or absent during your tenure as FBI director?

PATEL: I can say unequivocally I never listen to the fake news mafia. This director has been on the job twice as many days as every one before me. I've taken half as many days off.

Health care is a human right — I’ve always believed that.

This is interesting & good, but I’m curious how and why interest changed so radically after Swalwell’s (welcome) departure.

Tangential: I had a discussion w/ a Jewish friend who isn’t on social media about rising antisemitism on the left. I showed them your post (and others) for the proposition ‘who are your allies.’ Gave them a lift.

Just thinking about the difference between Steyer and Pritzker (both billionaires). Definitely feel like Steyer deserves an eye-roll, but Pritzker seems to merit real consideration. Is that fair? Where is that coming from?

Given how many times he’s drawn red lines & ignored them, I think the market can reasonably conclude he’s bluffing. Still, even if Trump wants an off ramp, what are the odds he can actually find and take one?

IOW, to the extent the market prices in TACO, are they pricing in his mental illness?

I think Trump can still ‘win’ if he decides war crimes and genocide are goals instead of constraints.

In a few years it will be: ‘We will allow you, a 25-year old, to choose to smoke. But you, a 24-year old? You don’t get that choice.’
