I’m pretty sure we figured out that doesn’t work.  We’re fast approaching the point where a child that was born after the war in Afghanistan began could be sent there to fight.  

Come on Arnheim! The author would have looked at Jewish refugees from Europe who came over without a dime and who could not speak the language and thought:

Wretched, teeming masses means wretched, teeming masses wherever they exist. It doesn’t specify so this is a stupid battle to fight unless the objective is to get this poem, which was written by a wealthy American-born daughter of recent immigrants to America and added 28 years after the statue was erected, into the…

It’s remarkable how unprepared these guys are to craft a message in defense of their policies. In the context of the Statue of Liberty, it’s not even a difficult message to craft: Yeah, what is written on the plaque, though beautiful in its idealism, was never in-line with official U.S. immigration policy, so trying…

I can see this happening: the non morons working for him try to manipulate this and then someone baits him into an argument with China or about China (or maybe China itself pissed him off) and he reverses course and does more tariffs!

You group up, dribble down the court, take your shots in a very formulaic manner, and rinse and repeat.

Meh, we all just do our best. I avoid the companies I happen to know have done/are doing something particularly evil, but the reality is there isn’t time to research every owner of every company I’m forced to deal with.

I expect the President to tweet soon about how the European Diving Championships are rigged against American divers.

Passive liberalism has been the greatest marketing gimmick in decades. “Oh you want to feel good about yourself ensconced in your castles in the sky largely built upon racist zoning policies, use this product. You don’t have to actually do anything but our twitter account has tweeted a few rainbows in the past. We’re…

I’m not sure what is being advocated for?  That these people should be aware of the politics of the companies they do business with?  Isn’t this where journalism is supposed to come in and help those who may not have time to research everything about a company prior to purchasing?

huh.

It just now Dawned on me what you did there.

Wow, the guy really is in an Ivory tower.
