@MaxAbrahms Yeah, that much I get. But reports have seemed to suggest that we’re not just talking about US-supplied Afghan equipment; that some considerable amount of *US* equipment was abandoned for some combination of reasons. Unless I’ve misunderstood. — PolitiTweet.org

Has there been any authoritative reporting on how, exactly, this sort of arsenal was ceded? Politically, militarily, logistically, etc? Infeasible to ship everything back home, I suppose. But we’re talking about tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded weaponry here. — PolitiTweet.org

If true, what’s the case against extending the US military presence indefinitely until every name on this list is accounted for & evacuated from Afghanistan? If it’s “frayed relations with the Taliban regime,” well, that seems preferable to becoming an accessory to mass murder. — PolitiTweet.org

@richarddeitsch great read... two thoughts: 1) Joe details Hank's and Mays's best years, but neglects to mention that Cabrera's best years were a tick better than either of them 2) he's almost certainly right that Trout winds up on top — PolitiTweet.org

P.P.S. If Miggy spent his prime hitting in one of the kiddy parks (Boston, New York, Baltimore) instead of Detroit, he'd be closing on 700 home runs and 3,000 hits right about now, and there'd be no argument for us to have. — PolitiTweet.org

P.S. I love baseball arguments, but don't come at me with a white dude who feasted off 75 mph fastballs during the pre-integration era. It won't go well for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Admit it: Miguel Cabrera is the best right-handed hitter in baseball history. Could you still argue Frank? Hank? Mays? Sure. But none of them (or Pujols, or A-Rod) ever combined Miggy's balance, pure stroke, hitting IQ, all-field power & domination vs. elite pitching. The 🐐 — PolitiTweet.org

What made the show so memorable (I’ve seen him 4 times) is Chappelle only made it through probably half his material. Attendees were rowdy; rather than shrug them off, he engaged, rolling each scalding rebuttal into a broader critique of America’s churlishness and insecurity. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

We saw Chappelle at The Fillmore last night, and it was unlike any performance in any genre I’ve witnessed. Part stand-up, part concert, part spiritual. I’ve seen him funnier, but never more profound. As fearless and insightful a voice as we have in American culture today. — PolitiTweet.org

The chip shortage could fairly be described as a crisis—millions of willing consumers unable to buy, thousands of dealerships going broke because they have no inventory, hundreds of plants slowing or stopping new vehicle production. It’s a huge news story—and hugely undercovered. — PolitiTweet.org
