Image on the left: 1. It's a gratuitous invocation of her self-described label, married to an unfounded claim that she "lie[d] about" Buckley. (She asked questions that some people think are unfair to ask on the basis of his relationships, but it is a stretch to say that she
The VP can’t criticize a woman who makes a vicious blood libel attack because she’s Jewish? Does being Jewish grant her special privileges the rest of us don’t have? Fill me in here, I’m starting to get confused.

American taxpayers are allowed to ask questions about federal public servants whose salaries they pay, even if you don’t like those questions, and even if you think those questions are unfair. Americans aren’t “scumbags” for asking questions. Who do you think you are?

True, ancient Peter Thiel technique.
This is how we always hire: find amazing people and then build a job for them. By definition, amazing people will be rare. So if you think of it as a search problem, this is the fastest way to create high talent density.

You have articulated your position in a more professional and balanced manner than our vice president just did. Note that you did not call Ms. Rachmuth a “scumbag” or imply that she is a “liar” or “lied.” But @VP did. You disagree with Ms. Rachmuth about whether inquiring about
Buckley worked for me for five years. He’s one of the smartest, most trustworthy and loyal staffers I’ve ever had. These personal attacks are disgusting and don’t serve your cause well.

If you are a highly ambitious person, you need someone in your life that can check you when you are playing way smaller than you are capable of.

Self-recommending!
Wolfgang Hammer helps founders and CEOs, at both startups and massive fortune 100 companies, use storytelling to better understand what they do, and why it matters. In many ways, this conversation is a manual for how to find that story and communicate it in a way that resonates.

“Oh, maybe he didn’t know that she is Jewish!” Then why mention churches at all (except to distinguish her from those who attend them)? He wasn’t calling her a bad Christian. He was highlighting that she is not Christian, and doing so in a plausibly deniable manner. Cheap shot.

You know that she is Jewish. You said this anyway. Concerning.
Sloan describes herself as a defender of "Judeo-Christian Values." Is it a "Judeo-Christian value" to lie about someone you don't know? Not in any church I ever spent time in!

And this has nothing to do with Buckley Carlson (the son). I know nothing about him personally. This has to do with the inappropriate, disproportionate and unprofessional response to a journalist who asked about a matter of public concern.

What lie did she tell? She asked a question. You might not like it. But there was no “lie.” The “lie” is that she lied. And who told that lie? You did. What are we even doing here?
Sloan Rachmuth is a "journalist" who has decided to obsessively attack a staffer in his 20s because she doesn't like the views of his father. Every time I see a public attack on Buckley it's a complete lie. And yes, I notice ever person with an agenda who unfairly attacks a

An appalling thread for so many reasons. We deserve better. He calls a Jewish woman a “scumbag” for asking questions, but won’t call Jew-haters like Tucker or Fuentes “scumbags.” The Office of the Vice President should not be debased in this manner. This is wrong.
I have an extraordinary tolerance for disagreements and criticisms from the various people in our coalition. But I am a very loyal person, and I have zero tolerance for scumbags attacking my staff. And yes, *everyone* who I've seen attack Buckley with lies is a scumbag.

This is exciting; I expect we are going to see a lot more things like this and it will be one of the most important impacts of AI. Congrats to the Future House team. https://t.co/Cxeh8UlWdk

People really have no idea just how much work the Trump Administration is doing behind the scenes. The stuff you hear about is just the tip of the iceberg. 370 JIHADIS KILLED IN 9 MONTHS. Great interview with @SebGorka by @jsolomonReports

This is appalling. The Trump administration must sanction this UN official, a documented rape-denier serving as the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls. Her mandate seems to exclude the rape of Israeli women and girls. @SecRubio
@sleeepysandy No Palestinian applauded rape in Gaza. No independent investigation found that rape took place on the 7th of October.

A simple cheat code in life: Surround yourself with intrinsically motivated people. Everything gets easier when your circle is wired to move, not waiting to be pushed. I’ve been around all types of people, and the self-driven ones change everything.
