One of my friends went to college with Pager and said that he is one of the worst people he has ever met, and that Pager has zero understanding of any sort of policy and treats the job as a page 6 gossip columnist

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

I am always amazed by how many analysts are incapable of grasping the fact that other countries have actual domestic politics

β€œI am so angry that I am going to help Trump minimize the political consequences of his war!”

slopulism will kill the Democratic Party. no tax on tips, Cory booker’s plan to get rid of taxes on half the country. it’s all slopulist nonsense

also the fact that voters approved it in 2020 and there is still not a single shovel in the ground as far as I am aware… mannnn

look at my democrats dawg we are so cooked. combine this slopulism with Kelly’s voting for tons of Trump noms and he’s very quickly becoming one of my least favorite potential 2028 nominees

this wannabe influencer just said the building (which again, is a mixed income apartment building on a parking lot in lower Manhattan) is β€œculturally insensitive” lmao

A NIMBY just said β€œI live in the neighborhood and I don’t have an accent. The home of the late Jean-Michel Basquiat nearby was only a two story building. I am not a NIMBY I just oppose this project because it isn’t affordable enough”

Love the white boomer casual racism. NIMBYS are insane.

going to β€œcommunity meetings” on housing is radicalizing. There is, RIGHT NOW, testimony on building 200 homes on a parking lot in lower Manhattan. Look at all of the rich boomers complaining about shadows vs. the young people begging for housing

It’s pretty crazy that Trump is leading a false criminal investigation into Slotkin and Kelly and they’re still voting to confirm Trump’s NSA director

Someone should get to the bottom of why the BOE would bail Layla out by going against its own counsel’s advice and CLEAR court precedent

they’re calling it the most cursed NIMBYpalooza of all time

(the hilarious context here is that Layla screwed up her paperwork and should have been kicked off the ballot based on precedent, but still got bailed out by BOE. now she’s framing it as an β€œattack on democracy” lmao)

I literally live in the same building as him and we had been cordial in the past. Next time I see him I’m going to lay into him

update: Jack Schlossberg has fully aligned himself with the hardcore NIMBY nexus of Chris Marte.

this incompetent failson needs to be stopped. friends don’t let friends vote for schlossberg

chat, why is it bad to force hundreds of people to breathe toxic carcinogens in a confined space?

a homeless guy on my block just threw a rock into the post office window for no reason

it’s not humane to let clearly unwell people wither away on the street until they become a danger to themselves or others

we need a combo of right to shelter and mental health treatment for those who need it

this is a perfect example of how β€œcorporate greed” isn’t always a useful frame for every policy. same goes for housing with the whole β€œblackrock is the reason for the housing crisis” nonsense

automating backbreaking labor is good actually. plus added bonus here of reduced need for herbicides if they can automate weed removal

you’re right, it’s not a policy position, rather a statement of basic morality akin to β€œbe a good person”
