I don't get the level of anger at General Milley, just don't eat Cheerios! Have something else! Eggs are a great breakfast.
It sounds to me from the reports and the excerpts that Milley misread both his own govt and the Chinese govt and got played by the latter under pressure. He's not a traitor, but he's not good enough at his job. And he has an important job! He probably shouldn't.
Met Gala always an interesting scene. Political reformers with deep legislative influence like Kim K mixing with celebrities like AOC.

@SethAMandel @JohnEkdahl Fair, but it’s definitely treasonous in a colloquial sense.
@andrewjbernie @dmarusic @shadihamid @joshglancy I've only lived in neighborhoods in NYC where cabs didn't go, so you need alternatives and anything hi-tech is, as you say, a massive help. Problem in NY and elsewhere is the old cartel is crumbling even as they make it impossible for uber et al to replace them. Just a void.
@SethAMandel His poasting days ended with the discovery of Pierre Delecto
.@brianschatz made a fool of himself at the Senate hearing today on Afghanistan. He referred to a government that Afghans took great risk to vote for, as one that “we installed.” It would have been nice if @SecBlinken would have corrected his ignorance, but he didn’t.
@SethAMandel His netflix interview with Judge Judy was just wonderful.
In 2016 I threw cold water on the movement to draft Mattis as the third party candidate because although I loved the guy I said we should avoid 'bring in the general to save us' narratives. Ppl were so mad at me but folks this is not a good road to go down.

@SethAMandel Seth, respectably, this is one of your worst takes. Don't infantilize the whoopsie-dasies of a four star general. His job has clear, explicitly codified lines that aren't to be crossed, whether he thinks it's in his best judgment or not.
@EricColumbus At least the shofar is right, even if it's by accident lol
@shoutingboy It is a thing that exists in Judaism but no one uses it as a symbol of Judaism they just use a star. Everything else there is holiday-pegged.
@Southfive It's phrased that way in the book. Gmar tov, Jason

RT @CraigSilverman: This shit is deliciously bananas https://t.co/FhXcQnOct9
@Southfive So he was right that China was about to attack us?
RT @jonathanvswan: Gen. Milley’s next hearing on the Hill will be interesting. It’s about time he addresses these questions on the record.
@Southfive That's an incredibly stupid thing to say. I say he got played by China. If you don't thing he got played by China fine, but your response is asinine.
@tkdylan @JohnEkdahl If an attack was ordered and Milley called him then that's a pretty tight case! But telling him he'd do so in peacetime? I don't think that's what the law describes. Threatening to hypothetically commit treason means he's got to go obviously, but I'm saying he didn't commit it.
@JohnEkdahl Idk, we're not at war with China so doesn't this come down to "bad but not treason"?
@markgdunstan @RiffRaf979 @costareports @AshleyRParker @PhilipRucker Oh I don't have doubts about him and so far Milley hasn't denied it
There's gotta be a way to have better elected leaders *and also* like not get kicked out of nato. Bring me that plan.
Is he denying the reports? If so, the book can't be the only piece of this story needed to make changes. If he's not, well.

@stevenacook Yep, exactly. Have three of the kids playing soccer this year and all three have been sent that message.
@stevenacook Officially but they've been directly emailing parents saying otherwise. From my kid's league: "Currently we are asking players to be masked during practice and games." He's four years old, btw.
@stevenacook Was supposed to, then they told kids to do so again and each time Bethany has had to push back to get them to resend the directions to parents to make masks encouraged instead of required. It's actually insane what they've been trying to pull here.

I’m about to wake up the kids, at 7:30 for school, who are up at 6am all summer.
The essence of the Met Gala is that ultra-rich people pay huge sums to meet and be photographed with celebrities ... and then deduct their night out from their taxes. Why has no one pointed out that Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wore a "tax the rich" dress *to a tax shelter*?
I’m coming up with the amazing @KennedyNation as part of her panel tonight shortly after 8pm ET on @FoxBusiness.
"Look who remembered she has a brother."-my brother when I call him after not speaking for like a day.
AOC wanted to hang out with a bunch of rich celebs at a cool party without losing her socialist street cred so she tossed “Tax the Rich” on the back of her dress & called it a day. It’s not much more complicated than that.
Norm Macdonald followed me after this. Made my day. https://t.co/jNbkANR1zP

Our 8, 10 & 11 yr olds are in masks ALL DAY at school. They eat lunch divided from the other kids by plexiglass - there is no conversation. These pics of these elitist snobs w/no masks, surrounded by crowds, eating & dancing the nite away - are INFURIATING.

Day 2: “so I challenged the other kids to a debate on masks.”-him https://t.co/8mKNqCZjEB
The crazy thing is I know more about Norm Macdonald's poker playing than his comedy so I'm getting to discover it now.
@jonathanchait It’s not wrong, it just captures—unintentionally and hilariously—the core desires of her political base.
Kids school (age 3-5) all masked (including outside!) all teachers vaxed...had a positive so school closed for 10 days
If you were trying to push mothers out of the workforce and generally make life miserable for parents...could you do it any better than this?
I'm not that smart but this Milley revelation seems like a big deal.
Norm Macdonald fought cancer for nine years and didn’t tell anyone.

So many comedians are scared, especially these days. Norm seemed to be the opposite: The more he felt that people didn't want to hear something, the more he felt compelled to say it -- & did say it, & remembered to make it funny. There isn't enough of any of that, & we need it.

Remember: emblazoning a ball gown with "eat the rich" is a strategy to enter, not overthrow, the ruling class.
It's spectacle, signal, irony—sartorial Marxism designed for elite consumption.
Trump so terrified The System that everyone from generals to journalists decided anything and everything was acceptable in the effort to purge him.
In so doing, they permanently adjust acceptable norms in this country. And that toothpaste doesn’t go back in the tube.
“The majority of people are ok with mandates.”
As if that’s supposed to sway me. I don’t care if every single person in this country becomes a frightened, tyrannical sheep. I will not. I suspect I’m not alone.
@Nanny715 @BlackCatBone5 There is also a mandatory vaccine policy at the school. The kids of age all have been vaccinated AND MUST WEAR MASKS ALL DAY in addition to plexiglass etc. — while around only vaccinated ppl. There is no getting around the disgusting hypocrisy.
@BlackCatBone5 Even the vaccinated children are masked all day. Does that change it for you?
@WhosePolitics No, it’s not about being vaccinated. The kids who are of age & vaccinated ALSO must wear masks ALL DAY in our schools and in all of our state’s schools. So just stop - you have no idea what you are taking about.
A pathetic self-aggrandizing hypocrite.

In its 96 years of existence, the @NewYorker print mag has published only 4 book reviews by African-American women. (That’s less than 0.01%.) In the last 30 years (1990-2020), 3.6% of the book reviews @NewYorker mag has published were by Black critics or writers.
I’m sorry but the recall was a complete and unmitigated disaster for Republicans and the forces pushing it. They got destroyed and in some ways it’s the first concrete piece of evidence that Trumpism has enduring political costs.
Let’s talk about racism! Most white people at prestigious magazines don’t ever want to talk about race or diversity at all. Why? It's primarily because they’ve been allowed to exist in a world where their mastheads resemble member registries at Southern country clubs circa 1950..
When I worked at NYT, I had access to a plug-in that told me what percentage of readers dropped out of an article, and at what point they stopped reading, and my advice to most of you is that your articles are too long.

And that’s why I think all this pontificating about how Democrats got caught with their pants down, and are facing a big revolt over a fancy dinner, is completely backwards. The recall attempt is a symptom of CA Dems’ strength, and CA GOP’s haplessness, in regular elections.
So that’s what happened here. The CA GOP, lacking better options, tried to shoot the moon. It wasted a lot of money and time, showed via Elder that they’re still deep in the grips of Trump fanaticism that’s unacceptable to a large majority, and they got beat back down.
I've seen enough: the vote to recall CA Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) fails.

California is an idiosyncratic state. It has a truly massive Democratic supermajority in the electorate, a rump Republican party that’s given over to extremism, and a byzantine initiative and referendum system everyone responsible despises (but can’t manage to reform).
When both parties are serious contenders in CA’s ordinary elections, the recall isn’t too attractive. They have better uses for their money and their own office-holders to protect. But for CA Rs who are mostly hopeless in elections and utterly shut out of govt, it looks p good.
In a recall, the sitting Gov could be ousted despite getting 49.8% of the vote on question 1 and his replacement could take over despite getting only 22.7% of the vote on question 2. Candidates who could never win a proper general election in CA have a chance in a recall.

@darth Be that as it may, I’m just happy that it’s actually Friday
One feature of that referendum system is that it’s ridiculously easy to trigger a recall and, crucially, gain an outside chance of electing a fringe candidate. Because if the recall question succeeds, the top vote getter on the replacement question takes over the office.
It’s apparently so little represented anywhere on the news that I guess I should spell out my own view of the recall election.

Norm Macdonald was so beloved among his fellow comedic greats that he appeared on the final network TV broadcasts of both Letterman AND Conan O’Brien. And killed on both.

@moorehn Like you read about democratic breakdowns in other countries and a key factor is the role of the press and how much they push back on it. But zero acknowledgement from top brass that we were actual participants in the post-election power struggle.
@moorehn They have absolutely no idea. I was floored, during the period from November to Jan., that there was zero newsroom-wide discussion about the role of the Post at a moment of democratic crisis.
Norm MacDonald on battles with cancer: “I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”
