I have a gen z (i think—dunno the cutoff) coworker who reads it every morning.

I've got friends (in their early 40s) who I think subscribe to it, along with the Times. They really like most of the paper, the reporting and arts coverage and whatnot, enough to put up with the editorial side. One of them might need to get it for work, though.

My friend’s parents read it—very liberal and cosmopolitan and mid-60s

I want to work toward a world where people can read Peggy Noonan without a fire wall.

I want to work toward a world where people can put Peggy Noonan against a wall and fire

Lovely

oh cmon not really

just like maybe w Super Soakers

I do not like all these Bernie emails specifying what I donated before the 2016 election. I don't know where that berning feeling went.

They text me all the time

I want to work toward a world where people could spend their limited time on earth doing something besides scrambling to survive reading Peggy Noonan.

fixed

WSJ's news section remains excellent, their editorial page is a cloaca.

'fortunately' i'm now too poor to even consider political donations, which keeps me from enabling the "money is speech" madness

I love hot cloaca on a winter evening

crossing a line

xpost After the 3rd Bernie text, I told them to stop texting me and they removed me completely.

*waggles eyebrows suggestively at morbs*

since i had my cloaca installed in '08 i've enjoyed the luxury of freely picking and choosing from across the entire spectrum of pants, safe in the knowledge that everything from a jegging to a harem pant will be flattering AND comfortable

NEW: Sen. Elizabeth Warren will call for elimination of the filibuster, endorsing a drastic change to Senate rules that would allow Democrats to pass sweeping, progressive bills w/ only a simple majority if they controlled the Senate w/ @Phil_Mattingly https://t.co/Ezo5W7y8ZC

I really wanted Warren to run in the last election, but cooled on her since then. Been warming back up this last week. She really is the strongest overall.

here, have a hot cup of cloaca

If only you and Wm F Buckley had dueled with your thesauri.

biden out here really showing his ass

.@JoeBiden invites kids on stage. "Everybody knows I like kids better than people." Also, "He gave me permission to touch him."

Interesting strategy

ugh, fuck you uncle joe

Interesting strategy

It's not a gaffe. It's a strategy (maybe motivated partly out of pique and more instinctual than deliberate) to appeal to the sorts of Democrats who aren't very well represented on Twitter. And it might work. The crowd seemed to like it. https://t.co/0PclopNwLD

yeah, HRC saying "not gonna make any promises cuz we've had enough of that" was a strategy, too

permission kid actually runs off the stage!

so...is anyone else getting a little annoyed about Bernie's foot-dragging with releasing his tax returns? I've already decided, for now at least, that I prefer Warren to him anyway, but this is really an idiotic thing to be so obstinate about.

hiding russian dollars

kompromatskis

bought a van

well, Andrew Sullivan likes Buttigieg, so y'all can cool the enthusiasm.

rip

ahaha of course

@evol j: Ryan Grim agrees with you.

yeah that's the right take, particularly this bit:

Sanders refuses to engage with things that annoy him. But he is no longer a protest candidate and can no longer escape the old adage that you may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. He’s running not to make a statement or drag the conversation to the left, but to be the leader of the most powerful country in the history of the world and to rescue it from its collision course with a dystopian future.

it is a different sort of campaign, that is true

Bernie's taxes has come up in every single friend post as one reason of many reasons why they are likely not voting for him this time around.

He made money from his book, so what? Will this upset his easily miffed fans?

I have to imagine there are ppl in his camp quite anxious to get them out and over with.

It wouldn't upset his fans, but it would provide ammunition to his critics. But that's a lose-lose anyway

That article is weird. Does anyone actually fill out their taxes by hand? He has properties, I assume investments, other sources of income. I completely doubt he isn't using some software.

I completely doubt he would.

The Sanders household adds and subtracts with an abacus.
