If that's your take on what I meant by marginalized then there's no hope for you.

It's not about being triggered, it's about becoming what you detest. OP talks about the US turning a blind eye to death and devastation but then does the exact same thing.
Don't become what you hate.
Furthermore, how're you going to get ppl on your side when you marginalize them? Just bad strategy

"Some buildings in New York" isn't helping your cause here. You can chastise the US and pay respect to the dead at the same time.
This isn't a zero sum game.

Beside the point I know, but I had to reread this headline a few times. "Andrew can do what?" "Why does Andrew have a can and what does that even mean?" "Ooooooh a can of worms!" 🤣

The "it's gonna hurt me more than it is you for me to cut your balls off, but you'd rather it be me than someone else so I'm doing you a favor" look.

If they are truly people of faith, then it must influence their decisions and actions. (Faith without works is dead) Otherwise you get Trumpian exploitation of Christianity
It is best for them to be transparent and open to scrutiny than it is for them to hide how they arrived at a crucial decision

Im 42 years old and it's been the messaging for US politics as long as I've been alive. Also was before me (see Jimmy Carter).

It's a classic for a reason and I still teach it even though it talks about type writers! Umberto Eco's How to Write a Thesis. Yes, it's for grad work, but makes everything sound possible!

The problem with solving this country's problems is reductive comments like this. It may feel good, but it perpetuates the idea of a simple solution to complex intersecting issues.

Inversely, most of my colleagues who complain that they never get a chance to write are the ones publishing (and publishing quality work to boot).

Curious, did they sort the books in alphabetical order according to first names or is it just a coincidence that the adjacent book was also written by a Massimo?

I was 'floated' the possibility of being commissioned at a high rank by a naval recruiter in high school. If I went to Navy (the university), when I graduated they would bump me up. Alas, I got into my first choice school and turned it down.
It's a great recruiting tool though, almost took it.

Agree, with a team named Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, you kinda already know what you're getting into.

Yeah, I found this to be an ironic expose of the author's lack of research.
I don't even watch him often and I know that Tapper has talked about the issues the author raised. If people don't watch the news or don't want to be informed, that's on them.
News networks can't assign homework.
