Thomas-Greenfield and her co-author, William Burns, both career diplomats, write that a prudent foreign policy will reject both “the restoration of American hegemony” and “retrenchment.” That will be the Biden sweet spot. @JamesTraub1 https://t.co/HemnjqaHVq

Yglesias has retweeted this fun list as a response to the Trumpist meme starting about the Biden picks all being products of elite institutions:

Pompeo - Harvard
Mnuchin - Yale
Barr - Columbia
Ross - Yale
Azar - Yale
Carson - Yale https://t.co/OuuFcAn56u

Again, thanks for adding humor to my day.

You ask a question that

In reply to Typical response

You ask a question that contradicts the info in comment which is merely an attempt to post actual reality about what is going on. I have three choices

1) Suspect you have reading comprehension issues and correct you

2) Suspect you have argumentative intent and say "I am not interested into being dragged into an argument with you about this"

3) Ignore such comments totally like many frequent internet posters do

Taking MY time to respond to you, which I have unfortunately learned over time that I often get nothing out of but grief (and later references to what I said on other threads) is taken as taking it personally, rather than taken as acknowledging your existence.

I'll try hard not to do that anymore and chose #3 more often. Your trick of framing wanting to argue as an "innocent" question is going to be ignored. You don't really care what my opinion is anyways, you don't know who I am, it's sort of absurd to even care what I think, and I don't really want to give it.

In reply to What is shameful about AOC's

someone said that it was shameful? edit to add: Actually just the opposite, AOC is the one saying that he is being considered is "shameful".

And me, I am just posting it as news, for crying out loud. You would rather be ignorant of this party infighting, is that it? Or what? Why shoot the messenger? Go yell at the involved parties on Twitter, you can talk directly to them, ya know. No need to make strawmen out of pseudonymous news junkies here to fight with. The real people are available. Go tell the transition team what you think, go query them, go rah rah on AOC's account or whatever, follow your bliss.

I am so tired of these games. I get nothing, zero, about debating with you. Learn nothing. Not an activist, just into news. I am one pseudonymous person on this site trying to analyze news with like minded people. If you want to challenge for effect, go do it to people using their real names.

What is shameful about AOC's response to a Rahm Emanuel appointment?

Looks like Rahm Emmanuel is

Looks like Rahm Emmanuel is the first considered appt. to really cause a brouhaha, big progressive target on his back:

What is so hard to understand about this?

Rahm Emanuel helped cover up the murder of Laquan McDonald. Covering up a murder is disqualifying for public leadership.

This is not about the “visibility” of a post. It is shameful and concerning that he is even being considered. https://t.co/P28C0E4fYP
