David Brooks’s new Atlantic essay treats moderation as a virtue in itself. But moderation is only a tactic. Without truth, justice, and moral judgment, balance becomes not wisdom but complicity. My response: “America Does Not Need a Trimmer.”

This. As to the question of whether it is disqualifying, #DavidBrooks, who married his research assistant 23 years his junior (talk about categorically less power) is getting a red carpet invite to speak at my University, so...
We're having a bit of an argument within SACUA about #DavidBrooks relevance to our students. I'm firmly on the side of "the undergrads don't know who this guy is and don't care about his opinions"
Look, I dedicate my life to older adults, but for #politics? He really is a dinosaur
#DavidBrooks told @jonathancapehart.bsky.social the reason we're at #war with #Iran is 47 yrs ago Iran declared war on the #UnitedStates. Other #Trump #MAGA #Republicans have said this, too. Is the idea here that #America will be "at war" with any nation that declares on us? What a novel #doctrine!
David Brooks talking about the Iranian regime while totally ignoring the regime IN THE US is just next level cognitive dissonance and absurdly comical. #pbs #pbsnewshour #davidbrooks
It is so frustrating to @davidbrooks on #pbsnewshour saying the war with Iran started in 1979, ignorant of the U.S. overthrow of the Iranian democracy in 1953 by the United States. #propaganda #media #davidbrooks

I don't agree with #DavidBrooks ideologically, but he's relevant in this final essay.

Bozo, #DavidBrooks, is at it again, with his nonsensical takes.
Accusing the Dems of weakening Govt institutions, by causing this latest Govt shutdown. He's Not outraged by US citizens being murdered on US streets by Fed agents; instead, this is what upsets him.
Even David Brooks keeps some gripping novels on his bookshelf 📚
During our recent #authortalk, we asked Brooks what he was reading, and he thought his answer might surprise some listeners.

The NYT columnist #DavidBrooks appeared in multiple photos from the estate of #JeffreyEpstein that were released by the House committee, raising questions about why Brooks did not disclose his connection to Epstein when writing about his lack of interest in the #Epstein case.
Via Tom Fox in NCR - David Brooks' move to @theatlantic.com feels more like a homecoming than an exit. His insistence on character, humility and moral formation has been a quiet gift.

“..see the genuine hatred conservatives have for what they call variously liberal hegemony, liberal ideology, left-wing ideology…
#DavidBrooks, newly ensconced at Yale & @theatlantic.com , is just sure it was liberals who caused Trump’s wins, with their snotty “knowledge”, and “refined tastes”.
#pbsnewshour Abernathy is a joke. He’s not worthy of standing in for David Brooks. #DavidBrooks
Christmas came early this year.

oh, so #DavidBrooks, the hypocritical & shallow @nytimesoped.bsky.social columnist is leaving, no boo-hoos here. Just seeing his byline made me gag. Being lectured to by him about "civility" & "reasonableness" & that smarmy voice...Hopefully w/all the dough he is making he will finally see a dentist
Artículo de #DavidBrooks: "A veces, los #narcisistas empeoran con la edad, a medida que se desinhiben. El efecto es inevitablemente profundo cuando el narcisista resulta ser presidente de Estados Unidos". #Trump #EEUU

As David Brooks writes in The Road to Character, résumé virtues may build careers, but eulogy virtues—integrity, courage, compassion—build lives that endure. #emberhart #DavidBrooks #Integrity podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/e...
Gems from #DavidBrooks, from 12/18:
"Are we at a pivotal moment? I don't think so."
"Trump voters, like all voters, are mostly reasonable."
[on AI]
"Optimistic people think it's gonna be great, and pessimistic people think it's gonna be terrible."
"Most things are getting more affordable."

#DavidBrooks #BothSidesDont @driftglass.bsky.social
#DavidBrooks at his usual nonsensical self, comparing the murder of a US citizen, at the hand of a fake Federal Agent, to a 1951 college football game.
#PBS what are u doing?
I noticed fascist fluffer Nytimes own #DavidBrooks is in the tRUmpsteinfiles.
Because they are all on the Epstein List. See #DavidBrooks
