The line "mistakes are not crimes." A mistake is making a bad blood test machine, a crime is lying about it to investors, partners and actual patients whose diagnoses depended on those tests.

And the very irritating, obviously for the camera question of "what does that mean" in response to the officers comment of disorderly conduct, after watching them overturn tables.
Thinking Penn State needs to revisits their admissions standards.

Reparations. The transfer of wealth from those who did nothing wrong to those who did not earn it because of what someone did 150 years ago. Did I get that right?
Hamas was not the first group to sow terror in the Middle East. In Medieval Times a group of fanatics ruled by fear. Learn how the Mongols defeated them, and lessons we can learn.

Diversity myths of our time: greater presence of women in government would advance women's rights. So today we have the Squad, almost entirely composed of women, supporting a group who believe women are 2nd class, against a nation that had a woman leader 50 yrs. ago.
@TitaniaMcGrath
But the good news is women are doing much better in sports like track, swimming, and weightlifting. At some point they might even do better than a man!

I can write her speech.
"Africa, which is a place where Africans reside, has continental wide issues, because it is continent. Ghana is a place in Africa where Africans call themselves Ghanaians, and are part of Africa as well."
Very weighty.
The answers are simple, but getting their will require focus and dedication:
1. Smaller government-out of businesses, out of the schools, out of personal lives
2. Foreign policy and a military that accounts for evil in the world
3. Personal code to be decent to one another.
@amychozick
And sorry, the "she had to act that way and do bad things because, you know, female start up?" In a world with Sara Blakely, Anne Wojcicki, Lori Greiner, Kendra Scott, Whitney Herd, Emma Grede, etc. that is disingenuous.
@mcbyrne
Behind every student loan forgiveness is someone who is breaking a contract freely entered AND someone who paid their loans, paid their taxes, or never went to college.
@guypbenson
I always like it when politicians cite the "American People" as Trump does here. So the 81 million American People who did not vote him or those millions of Georgians who voted for Warnock and Ossoff are not in fact American People?
@JesseKellyDC
The poor downtrodden Michelle who went to those working class schools, Princeton and Harvard and made a quarter of a million as lawyer, but was not proud of the nation that provided these opportunities.
@amychozick
A woman would want a baby for many things; experience motherhood, build a family, an expression of love.
So why do I think she had one for sympathy with a jury. Given her past, this disturbing thought may be the case.
More people were killed in Stalin purges and Mao's Great Leap Forward than in Hitler's Holocaust.
One million died under Pol Pot in Cambodia in the 1970s.
The murederous regimes in Angola and Cuba killed far more.
This is madness.
@joncoopertweets
Cooper seems to have found article 361 of the Constitution that I (and every scholar under the sun) seems to have missed.
But here is the real article: "If SCOTUS makes rulings upon which I disagree, thou shall remove offending Justices."
@kylenabecker
That does not support their point. If two people rob a bank, and one of them got away, and the other did not, it does not make the one that got caught innocent.
@HillaryClinton
Not certain it is wise to show too many photos of a fetuses. People may get the impression that these are human beings whose life is being terminated.
We explore the shifts in the party system from the early Republic to the Progressive Era and ask: Are we seeing a significant party shift in real time?

@DrLoupis
Last I checked I am part of the world. I stand against the murder of women and infants as happened on October 7. I stand against calls for the eradication of Israel. I see women as equals and I stand with gays believing they should not be murdered for being who they are.

Between all of the false arguments around apartheid and colonialism and stories like this it shows that pro Hamas arguments are based on half truths and innuendo
@neontaster
We lost 7,000 marines on Iwo Jima. A relatively small island defended by 20,000 Japanese soldiers. There were nearly 2 million Japanese under arms in the Home Islands.
Perhaps Hannah-Jones is aware of these facts. I have my doubts.
@Locati0ns
The Roman Republic lasted 600 years and was followed by Imperial period for 400, and Byzantine for another 1,000. Mongols about 200. Oversimplification of course, but timeline.
Also Roman impact on our society and culture. Hope the below may help.
@joncoopertweets
This is of a piece of the Thomas is corrupt (!) blather. Funny how the legitimacy of SCOTUS was never in question as long as SCOTUS made decisions the left, like Cooper here, liked.

Bush was the worst. No it was Trump. Now RDS gets the treatment. The question is why we would care about what a random stage actress has to say about politics to this degree?

A dam DISASTER? Thinking it was after a dam was destroyed. Then employ cui bono. Who benefits more? Just maybe the side that delayed the Ukraine offensive, ruined more infrastructure, and killed more Ukrainian civilians.

I thought Trump derangement syndrome was about lying and ego. I had not idea that Trump had godlike powers to prevent disease, but choose not to. I think now I had better vote for him because I do not want to anger a god.
@TitaniaMcGrath
I am old enough to remember when charges of racism were leveled at the Tea Party rallies of the early aughts. The sheer lack of any documentable racist comments at these events was most certainly proof of racism.

This is not conjecture, or Israeli propaganda, like the videos of Oct. 7th atrocities, the source is Hamas itself.

What happens to South American nations such as Venezuela, Argentina, and now Colombia, showing success with moderate economies, always turning leftward. How did that work for their next door neighbor??

@JerryDunleavy
I like the "you" enslaved our ancestors. I am certain I do not currently own slaves and as a conservative, oppose slavery on principle. But I also lack a time machine to go back and own them. If I had such a device I would go back to 2000 and buy lots of lots of Apple.

This would be an excellent response if she were remotely interested in factual history. The 1619 Project was not that. It was propaganda to perpetuate a narrative and constitute new financial opportunities.
@jelani9
He wound up dead on a street corner because a terrible cop did a horrible thing. Spin it all you want into some great systemic thing. There are 600 THOUSAND police officers in the United States. If this were "systemic" we would be having a different convo. Ban CRT.

This is not like Bill in Detroit going to the Ford plant. We either have borders or not. If I want to go to Toronto I need to ask for and receive permission.
I think we need immigrants but a controlled immigration is the answer, not this.

The candidate not in race is the equivalent to football fans thinking their back up is better than their starter, unless one lives in the KC area.
A few names that should give pause:
Scott Walker
Fred Thompson
Bill Bradley

If these two are the A Listers, then I am trying to imagine what the B List looks like?

How did the Times get from an IRS lead agent (Shapley) to "House Republicans said." A blatant and crass attempt on the part of the Times to make this compelling testimony about the GOP.
This is about whether Hunter Biden got special treatment-again.

@WhiteHouse
This sounds absolutely plausible. This is the age when most kids watch Teletubbies and Caillou but this little dickens is politically savvy just like granddad. The veracity of this tale is on a par all of the stories surrounding this family.
@neontaster
This is not rocket science but it is math.
1) Hunter was hired by entities such as Burisma for influence.
2) He had only one tool of influence
3) They would have dropped him if he could not deliver
4) They did not drop him
@realLizUSA
Win in California? That is a disqualifying statement in itself.
The last GOPer nominee to win California, albeit a different state than today, was HW Bush, a family the current GOP has disavowed.

Old enough to remember when Mel Gibson was the arguably the biggest star on the planet. And not just on cop movies like Lethal Weapon or epics like Braveheart but massive rom coms like What Women Want.
He is now reduced to playing grumpy old men, even a mean Santa.

I really hate the "whataboutism" line of discourse but sometimes it is just too appropriate.
Imagine Jim Jordan saying that Republicans should target Democratic officials, such as Rep. Pressley, with unrest? You know what the response would entail.

Not a Sicilian consigliere? How did the Corleone's know about the the Producer's horse if Tom did not tell them? And he is always there amidst the murder and mayhem but never fires a shot, never takes bullet.
@neontaster
Two reasons Prestige movies fail: the producers/director/ writers live in a bubble where their circles think their views are wide spread because they do not leave the bubble 2) They have a need to "educate" the wider world on what they believe are absolute truths.

If this guy was half as good as thinks he is, why couldn’t he fix it? He published a book about himself called the promised land as if he were Moses. If arrogance equaled accomplishment he would have been the most successful president in history

Sarcasm aside wondering how all of those who seem to love other countries so much more would fare in those nations as they wandered up to let's say French voting booths.

Agreed, our education system is already mediocre. And until we curb the power of the public teacher's unions and the stranglehold they maintain over public education, this will not change.

I have been seeing this for a while which leads to the logical conclusion to no longer separate sports leagues. No WNBA, LPGA or WTA. If that happens, especially in individual sports, a biological woman will never win a tournament again.

USA women's soccer has been great for years. The WNBA is coming into its own and in two years, Clark and Reese. But neither has had a Lia Thomas come in to challenge the biological women. Wonder about their opinion had this (and it will come) happened. The other one is tennis.
@nytimes
What you are really saying is that some people of color cannot compete. A common sense approach would mean changing the educational system to ensure that competition. But at the end it would mean addressing WHO controls education (Public Unions) and that the left will not do.
@redsteeze
2013, Hunter flew aboard Air Force 2 with his father, who was then vp, the Hunter met investment banker Jonathan Li. 12 days after the trip a PE fund, BHR Partners, was approved by Chinese authorities. Mr Li was CEO & Hunter was a board member. He would hold a 10% stake.

There are over 4 million teachers in the US. I used to dismiss these stories as "there are a few creeps and need to be fired." But day after day, month after month there seems to be a new story. Makes me wonder about the teacher cert. programs-like the one Jill Biden ran.
@academicviews
That claim is incorrect. Even in Urban II or Innocent the III most virulent sermons that was never the case, it was to take back Jerusalem which prior to the 600s was not under Arab, but Roman control. And before that? Selucids and before that Jewish.

"But was not party to any of the deals." So why was he on the phone? Are we to believe that Hunter was just showing off. Guys, the VP really is my Dad? And why would Joe get on these calls? Because not enough weather chatting in his day?

ACTUALLY? The founding of 1619? Slavery as capitalism? The War of Independence because John Adams and Nathaniel Greene wanted to keep slavery? It is not that 1619 is such a farce. It is that it is taken seriously.

Simple question for the relativists. Israel has the power to eradicate Palestine. If it were reversed what would happen? We know. The 1300s, late 1800s and mid 1900s. This argument is irrefutable.

@soledadobrien
Glad to see a liberal take this stance. People have agency. This is tragic, but the passengers signed a waiver noting possible death three times. We take risks and sometimes others should not be on the hook to bail us out. VERY sad, but no one forced them onto that sub.
