He probably wrote it at an airport, over an expensive lunch.

Vote Trump.

End of story.

Don't forget to generously thank David on the way out for his decades of CONTRIBUTIONS.

Now he wants to pull a Roberto Duran.

"No MAS! NO MAS!"

He’s like very late to the party! He aided this bloody shakedown of USA.

David Brooks knows all about it given that he spent his entire career prior to Trump supporting the very policies, people, and particularly the judges that are instituting a fascist authoritarian state in this country.

From the day, Nixon got the FBI to raid the Children of God. To print Billy Graham's, 'self written' easy to read Good News Bible. Feeding gullible Americans end of times fodder, watching Donald W. Thompson rapture movies. The USA has been infrastructurally, educationally & socially in decline. 😢👇

Mia, it was always the bygone red, white & blue American men & women. Who loved our nation's foundations, our rights & freedoms, who pledged, protested, fought & gave their lives in valor to protect them. That were globally admired & made our nation great, by being global ambassadors of goodwill.☮️

As Edmund Burke pointed out "For evil to triumph, all that's required is for good people to say nothing". So thank you Mia Farrow for speaking out along side we 'civilians'. ;-)

Trump is an existential threat to every single living thing on Earth; you, me, our families, our friends, our colleagues, our acquaintances, every bird in every tree, every animal on every prairie, every insect in every forest and every generation of every creature and human yet to be born.

Once we were the best at practically everything, then we weren’t.. and never will be again.. some empires careen slowly towards obscurity.. ours fell in a matter of days.. what does that say about us

The whole administration behaves as if they have much faith, but without any knowledge.

susanstone12.bsky.social•84 days ago

Oh, Mia, I’m just so sad. And scared. I guess it was a nice country while it lasted.

darlamae.bsky.social•84 days ago

Too little too late.

America is no longer a reliable and trustworthy trading partner. Canadians are doing their bit in not buying American.

His piece in the Atlantic is basically I should have seen this coming, and he mentions also that now that his friends are being hurt, he sees it differently, and isn't that always the self-serving case with WHITE conservatives?

mandysueinla.bsky.social•83 days ago

First, I don't pay the New York Times to gaslight me so I can't read this article and I probably wouldn't anyway bc secondly, David Brooks is full of shit and always has been. And his beloved Reagan was a terrible president.

imperfectfilms.bsky.social•84 days ago

Let me guess, Mr Brooks, it’s liberals’ fault.

kboss1.bsky.social•84 days ago

Hmmm, the hair has gone from orange to white.
What's next ? Bald ?

indivisualist.bsky.social•84 days ago

Have some respect. If you want to comment read the piece.

stanleym.bsky.social•84 days ago

Sorry, but I still cannot read David Brooks.

Congress needs to step in and revoke the delegation of its Article 1 power over tariffs.

The emergency Trump declared doesn’t exist!

There are at least 7 Republicans in the Senate and 1 in the House who have shown support. Take back the power.

LIGHT IT UP ‼️

GET BUSY ‼️

#STOPTHEMONEYGRAB
We need every CEO and blue governors to exempt ourselves. Have a meeting with every country that was imposed a tariff. No congress no senate involved. We need the Tim Cook’s. CEO’s of HD, HP, Ford, etc. NOW. Shut this down. Why not?
