India has to be everyone’s friend. It’s in no position to alienate anyone. That said, when Trump said he had ended the war with Pakistan, and insisted Modi go along with the lie, that was a step too far. No one in India believed it, and if Modi had gone along, it would have tanked his credibility.

How is an actor’s opinion meaningful in this? It just seems like a tool enabling a reporter to showcase their own opinion, justified by the fact that some famous person is saying it

Are you sure he’d mind? In a way he did run against Obama’s administration to win in 2016. The fact that Obama is a highly intelligent and moral human being may make him a more desirable candidate, but Americans have proven we’re glad to choose the worst human being as president.

I wasn’t sure about him until Chait dissed him. Now I’m 100% pro-Platner.

Definitely naming it after himself 🤣

Maybe they could get the guys building the new White House Bordello/Casino ballroom to do an extension there too?

None of the people who voted for you want you to do this. Think again. Do right, John!

I was for Dan Kleban anyways, and he dropped out a few days ago. Time to just get behind Mills

John, you’re just not understanding what’s going on. Please, before you take this action, have one of the democrats who does, explain it to you. There are smart Democratic senators, across the political system, all of whom understand the need and the reasoning

Why are you validating anti-democratic persecution?

Now, having read the story, I feel a bit ashamed for thinking “that sounds like the most French of all crimes”

It’s hard to bully democrats by threatening to decimate the government when you’re already doing it and show no signs of stopping

St Paul was a jerk, too. So there’s that.

I’m conflicted. I really like the oyster guy, but this is arguably the best beer made in America 🤔

He said this _again_?

I can see why that’s a narrative that some people can believe in, but Thiel and his ilk are leaders in this transition. The problem isn’t that the sons of coal miners aren’t in tech, it’s that America has degraded into a place where the model doesn’t work for half the country,and the rich exploit it

You’re not getting the impression that many in Israel are against this, and you’re asking me to validate this quantitatively? Think about what you’re implicitly saying there. And try reading @standing-together.bsky.social

It’s not really a test. A lot of people in Israel think it’s horrible as it is. The people who don’t probably have all sorts of ways of convincing themselves that doing something awful is okay.
