billionaires want to be seen as experts in all things just by saying they are, they'll never publish any work in any field because that takes effort (they're rich and don't want to do anything hard), then they'll just blame "academia" or whatever for not accepting their half assed tweets as research

Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.
TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

all ships must be designed to the king’s specifications, starting with our prize: the Vasa
Trump: I'm not a fan of some of the ships you do. I'm a very aesthetic person and I don't like some of the ships you're doing, aesthetically.

it's quite an admission to say your ethical positions are compromisable if they are unpopular
IMO, the most revealing part is Klein wrestling with the question of where "the line" is (between acceptable and unacceptable politics). Realizing that what he considered past the line is now the GOP mainstream doesn't make him commit harder to fighting it. He wonders if he needs to move the line.

conservatives talk about how "they don't let kids pray in school anymore" as if a bunch of children are begging to say grace before lunch when what they really mean is the teacher reading from the bible instead of a textbook all day
