Everyone in the industry knows that this shit does not fly at the Times on any other subject. And rightfully so!.
@wawog_now Among these 20 NYT journalists are Natan Odenheimer, who served in the Maglan special forces unit of the IOF for four years, and Isabel Kershner, who has cited her former-IOF husband's Zionist think tank over 100 times throughout her tenure.

Bernie is beloved and his policies are popular. He still lost/was defeated. Twice! Good politics on paper don’t matter a bit if there isn’t an organized movement powerful enough to realize and defend them.
every democratic consultant that keeps repeating the stupid take that zohran won because he's charismatic and great on social media, discount the real reason why those qualities work in his favor. its his policies! bernie sanders is also a beloved figure, he's 80 years old!!!!.

Absolutely will not countenance any degree of discourse about a “Superman” movie. Grow up.

The question remains: why did this specific chocolatier combine these surpluses in this way, and why did these tiktokers get so obsessed with it.
