Well...time to go watch Andrew Klavan, see what that madman has to say today.

2019-02-12 19:20:55 UTC  

It was Manaford who was caught with the "Foreign Lobbyist" for trying to get Ukraine to turn away from Russian and give Obama a hand shake wasn't it?

2019-02-12 19:21:56 UTC  

Yep.

2019-02-12 19:23:10 UTC  

I think he was also trying to help them get into the NATO realm, but that's such a political hot potato that Russia called up their medium range nukes on the threat that would happen.

2019-02-12 19:23:15 UTC  

I dont even know the Alex von zan guy

2019-02-12 19:24:27 UTC  

It didn't help that we moved our nuclear arsenal from Turkey to Romania, but the prick in charge over there really left us no choice. We had to move them someplace or risk his country taking the bases over.

2019-02-12 20:55:16 UTC  

watching this guy right now, very interesting piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wln6lNTxVpY

↑ Uncommon Knowledge: Thomas Sowell on the Vulgar Pride of Intellectuals

2019-02-12 21:03:01 UTC  

Good choice.

2019-02-12 21:04:52 UTC  

Lest we forget he's one of the original uncle Thoms

2019-02-12 21:05:04 UTC  

😄

2019-02-12 21:05:46 UTC  

I'd love to hear him on AOC.

2019-02-12 21:06:58 UTC  

Socrates was one of the first to talk about those who spoke on issues they knew nothing about.

2019-02-12 21:07:19 UTC  

After 2000 years, they still don't understand this.

2019-02-12 21:08:54 UTC  

hmm. that just makes him look like another man with a broom trying to clean up at least a bit of the intellectual garbage out there.

2019-02-12 21:10:14 UTC  

As are we all.

2019-02-12 21:10:26 UTC  

which just reminded me rather briskly to what the internet really is.

2019-02-12 21:10:42 UTC  

as in, quite the landfill.

2019-02-12 21:10:55 UTC  

The trash heap of good ideas

2019-02-12 23:41:40 UTC  

Eww more slowmode

2019-02-12 23:41:41 UTC  

Shit its also.slow.mode

Thomas Sowell

2019-02-12 23:43:04 UTC  
2019-02-12 23:43:08 UTC  

isn't he the guy who wrote the book on basic economics

2019-02-12 23:43:38 UTC  

He wrote many books

2019-02-12 23:43:40 UTC  

I love him

2019-02-12 23:43:59 UTC  

There was some video of him on an old TV show facing of with a feminist and it was so beautiful

2019-02-12 23:44:00 UTC  

Hazlitt's economics in one lesson > Sowell's basic bitch commie economics.

2019-02-12 23:44:41 UTC  

I like that he's able to explain the issues in the black community bluntly without being immediately labeled a racist

2019-02-12 23:45:06 UTC  

"basic bitch commie economics" do you know who Thomas Sowell is

2019-02-12 23:45:18 UTC  

he is the furthest you could get from a commie

2019-02-12 23:45:46 UTC  

Thomas Sowell actually started out as a commie.

2019-02-12 23:45:47 UTC  

Check out Walter E Williams. He's good on the black question.

2019-02-12 23:46:16 UTC  

Well if he started out as a commie he clearly isn't one anymore

2019-02-12 23:46:36 UTC  

Most economists do. That's why the undergrad AOC is so socialist.

2019-02-12 23:47:01 UTC  

Sowell ended up a cicago school commie. He's just not an explicit Marxist anymore.

2019-02-12 23:47:11 UTC  

@halfthink haazlitt is who?

2019-02-12 23:48:01 UTC
