On the one hand, this is really stupid. On the other, never in human history has a sentence beginning with “The Jews” arrived at a happy conclusion.

We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing “the” labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

من عذرخواهی میکنم بابت نوشتن این مطلب اما چرا باید تو مترو، واگن بانوان شاهد معاشقه دو خانوم همجنسباز باشیم.
آقایون مُردید یا چی؟ گند و کثافت داره همه جا رو میگیره.
That you still have the audacity to show yourself in public—even virtually—shows that shame has no force left in politics.

President Ghani felt he could ignore clear messages from Sec. @mikepompeo, myself, and other US officials. Pres. Ghani had great familiarity and connections with Washington, members of congress, retired generals, and lobbyists. 1/3

Imagine being such a fucking sociopath that you can see with your own stupid eyes what’s going on in Iran, and you still want to screw Iranian citizens like me. Even if not, there wouldn’t be any difference. Just as bad to discriminate against Russians, Chinese, and NKoreans.

A bill is filed in Texas legislature to ban citizens, governments & entities of China, Iran, North Korea & Russia from purchasing land in Texas.
I will sign it.
This follows a law I signed banning those countries from threatening our infrastructure.

AEI Colleague Derek Scissors’ take down of Trump’s reaction to China-produced Covid crisis & his trade deal. Final point: “He let a brutal dictatorship get away with murder and made America look weak, in exchange for a bag of magic beans.”

Not everybody does it. “Everybody does it” is a lazy, partisan, hacky defense of the incompetence and arrogance of politicians who think laws don’t apply to them.

This is Tecumseh Sherman vibes to it. He said what he needed to say.

On regime change in Iran and his role @PahlaviReza repeats what he has often said:
"I'm not running for any office nor do I seek any political position in the apparatus of state ... I'd rather be an advocate for the people... I don't have any ambitions for powers or authority."

UA: We need ATACMS?
USA: Here’s HIMARS.
UA: But ATACMS…
USA: How about tanks?
UA: Yay. We also need ATACMS?
USA: How about F-35?
UA: Love it. Back to ATACMS…
USA: Want B-21 w/ LRSOs we ourselves can’t use yet?
UA: Okay. But how about those ATACMS?
USA: Want Columbia submarines?

Can someone explain to me sending Abrams tanks to Ukraine but withholding ATACMS?

In Carter's case, the classified document is his love letter with Khomeini.
Quote Tweet
I mean, surely Obama is checking for classified documents too?
And Bush. And Clinton. And Carter. And Gore. And Quayle.

It's fashionable to complain about the Germans—for good reasons because they deserve it—but they are right now ahead of the Biden administration.
1. How can anyone have a negative view of LDS, unless this is a bait to bring you homemade cookies.
2. Hating Scientology is the issue that could bring us all together.
3. We might have a better view of Jehovah’s Witnesses if they didn’t wake us up early morning on weekends.

This doesn't quite fit the media narrative, but it's not surprising to see Judaism's high net favorability among Republicans.

MEP's + #EU want a Tribunal on Crime of Aggression against Ukraine, but don't want a Tribunal for Peace - Zelensky should be at negotiating table, but instead tours the world selling his forever #NATO War, as Ukraine is destroyed + conscripted Ukrainians die in their thousands...

Video captured November 15: a defenseless woman is beaten by an armed oppressor in Tehran. "This man attacked pedestrians without any reason, and when this woman stood her ground, he kicked and punched her and told her to run away."

I enjoyed every minute of this discussion of Prof. Maurer's Competitive Arms Control book, which takes a close look at SALT I.
Looking forward to getting my hands on the actual text at some point.

New record for the amount of arrogance fit in one tweet. Not to mention, the guy who says “we let it happen” about a newspaper warns of fascism.
Quote Tweet
Some day someone will write a doctoral dissertation on the bigoted anti-trans “reporting” of the 2020s @nytimes and everyone will be appalled that we all just let it happen and let it fuel the fascist agenda.

The Russia-Iran File: Despairing Out Of Soccer
There are differences between what happened in Peru and in Brazil. But I can’t help but think that the failed coup in Peru would have been covered somewhat as much as in Brazil if the coup plotter was right-wing, not left-wing. Everyone knows Bolsanero’s name, but mot Castillo.

Catherine, I like your work a lot. But it’s terribly wrong to compare this w/ terrorism. What they’re doing is very dangerous and cynical/stupid. But, unlike terrorism, it’s not violent, and it’s using legal measures—I don’t recall al-Qaeda going through Congress to conduct 9/11.
Quote Tweet
Imagine if GOP threatened to blow up Mt Rushmore unless Dems agreed to cut Social Security. Few would blame Dems for saying 'we won’t negotiate under those terms; no negotiating w terrorists'
That’s what happening here, except hostage is global economy wapo.st/3ZGaNCs

It would have been unbelievable to me while living in Iran that people I read with broken English using primitive translators would be complimenting me for my writing one day—and be my friends and mentors. It still is hardly believable. This is an astonishing country.

Americans all know that radical Iranian students took their embassy staff in Tehran hostage. What they don’t know is that they took the whole country of #Iran hostage on that same day.
