        Nice echo chamber you've got there. You're exemplifying the IYI class of @nntaleb. Hope you're on the front lines of HRC's WW3.

        None of the reasons given justify voting for someone who won't defend America over someone who will.

        The child assault case is known to be false. Deeply irresponsible of Steven Pinker to push it.
