For the Record: The Self-Denominated Far Left

Drawing by Matthew Diffey, New Yorker via.

So young Master Walker Bragman, the limousine leftist who seems to be aiming at being the HA GOODMAN of the 2018 campaign, took umbrage at a tweet from neoliberal shill Dr. Krugman:

Hey, Roseanne Barr is only worth $80 million, and was being paid only 250K per episode. So her tweets were clearly driven by economic anxiety https://t.co/2SBgBJge0z

Promise, what follows is NOT ABOUT ROSEANNE. It's about that zombie "economic anxiety" theory of the Trump vote, which keeps coming back, and bad faith argumentation:

Trump voters aren't suffering from economic anxiety (median income $75K compared to $50K for Clinton, not to mention Roseanne). Poor people and low-wage workers are suffering from it and unfortunately fewer vote than other income groups.

For the record: Miscellany

Messing around too much with the Twitter again, no time to concentrate on anything.

DOES KIM JONG-UN REALLY LIKE ME OR IS HE JUST TOYING WITH MY FEELINGS? pic.twitter.com/5ukw1zP3In

Update: That turned out to be a little truer than I was expecting, didn't it?

In retrospect, this tweet seems like a preview of Trump's letter. https://t.co/150OewWo0i

You've decided to take it out on the motorcycle workers instead? Odd approach. https://t.co/gTyeWM8O1j
