Abolish your podcast in favor of that purer, more elegant, most truly ennobling format for enlightened intellectual discourse, the proper venue of the true 21st century renaissance man: a panel discussion at a conference.

Article 5 mobilizing NATO is a huge deal especially with Iran’s proximity to Russia. These type of treaty’s is what brought France into WW1 bc of ties to Russia and the UK in bc of ties to protecting Belgium neutrality.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Although Machado ultimately said she was dedicating the award to Trump, her acceptance of the prize was an “ultimate sin,” said one of the people.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” this person said.

Transit's main competition is cars. If you raise fares from $2.50 to $3, you're still way more affordable than driving. But if you cut the bus from every 15 to every 20, you're screwed because cars have infinity frequency and 24 hr service span.

SCOOP: A Trump official tells
@nypost
that the administration favors Paramount Skydance to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – and a number of rival bidders are likely to face stiff hurdles from US regulators in the blockbuster auction. “Who owns Warner Bros. Discovery is very important to the administration,” a senior Trump administration official told On The Money. “The Warner board needs to think very seriously not just on the price competition but which player in the suitor pool has been successful getting a deal done. And that points to the Ellisons.”

The best thing for Texas would be if Trump banned the Democratic Party and we had the opportunity to start over and build a new-coalition from scratch without all the legacy baggage. That's the only way for progressives to win statewide. Maybe we'll get lucky if the GOP runs a crook against talarico

My takeaway from the brilliantly honest #CharlieSheen #netflix documentary is that if he hadn't stopped doing pills and worked on his live show "winning" act then he could have won the GOP nomination for president in 2016.

Trump says the White House was "told by ABC that (Kimmel's) show was cancelled." He is now vowing to use the government to go after ABC over allowing Kimmel back on the air, and is citing ABC's previous decision to cave to his bullshit lawsuit and give him $16 million.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!
Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his
"talent" was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let's see how we do.
Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.
