I got such a great reaction to the first 50 that I seriously considered calling it a finished product. I even made a Twitter poll that agreed with me. But I’m going to 100 anyway. I hope scholars someday debate whether only the First 50 are canonical. https://twitter.com/williamaeden/status/1206704960441708544?s=21 …https://twitter.com/WilliamAEden/status/1206704960441708544 …

51) Trump was impeached today. I think this was a bad idea for America. Pelosi (my own representative!) originally said she wouldn’t impeach without Republican support, but ultimately backed down in the face of pressure.

52) “Impeachment is inherently a political process” because it’s in the hands of Congress is an odd thing to hear from the left, since it sounds like a constitutional textualist argument. It also means the Senate GOP can call their non-trial an “inherently political process” too.

53) For the record, the GOP opened Pandora’s Box when they impeached Clinton in a partisan manner. That was also really bad. But just as important is to learn how to deescalate. Someone has to do it.

54) Forced error = you have to make a bad move because of board position or the opponent’s play. Unforced error = that’s all on you. The Dems moving left because of primary challengers is a forced error. Trump’s Muslim ban was an unforced error. https://twitter.com/nosilverv/status/1206916248371650560?s=21 …https://twitter.com/nosilverv/status/1206916248371650560 …

55) I got the feature / bug / load-bearing bug trichotomy from
@EricRWeinstein. The idea is that new code can be built upon an existing odd behavior in the core base, such that removing the bug breaks tons of features. It’s still a bug, but not one you can simply remove.1 reply 2 retweets 28 likesShow this thread -

56) Probably only Trump fully understands Trump’s finances, but there are a few pieces I am confident about. He’s probably up to some sketchy stuff. https://twitter.com/markkatakowski/status/1206221170418290688?s=21 … https://twitter.com/MarkKatakowski/status/1206221170418290688 …

57) My model of Trump is that he exquisitely walks the line of questionably legal. This creates a lot of smoke and surprisingly little fire, which seems to draw Dem ire like a matador‘s red flag draws a bull.

58) Trump inherited a lot of money from his dad. There’s some math suggesting he did worse than the S&P at growing that wealth, I’m not confident. But it looks clear that his dad did everything possible to skirt the law to maximize Donald’s inheritance:https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-wealth-fred-trump.amp.html …

59) To Trump’s credit the wealth *did* grow, not via passive allocation, which puts him above average for the scion of a wealthy businessman. He does have some talent for real estate, or at least the surrounding set of skills necessary to benefit from real estate.
