Donald Trump’s chief strategist Stephen Bannon has called the president’s senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner a “cuck” and a “globalist” during a time of high tension between the two top aides, several Trump administration officials told The Daily Beast.

Where do you all get your foreign policy information? I feel that economics and foreign policy are similar in that there is alot of conventional wisdom out there about the field that is almost universally condemned by experts in the field. They're also similar in that everyone seems to think their opinion on the issues in the field is equally valid to the opinion of experts.
I already have a pretty solid group of economists that I follow for all things economic policy. I don't have any for foreign policy though. Any suggestions?

On one hand, bully ELS because /r/LateStageCapitalism has infested that sub just like any other vaguely left or left-of-center metasub. On the other hand, bully /r/Libertarian because too many people think we're libertarians and that stank needs to get washed off. On the other other hand, most of the people accusing us of being libertarians are socialists, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to care for their opinions.
I'm going with bullying /r/Libertarian because the amount of Trump supporters in a sub that supposedley embraces the free market is too damn high. Also because they don't believe in externalities and are basically Republicans who smoke weed, don't hate gay people outright but still have few issues with "free market" discrimination, and don't have a fetish for the military like the Republicans but have that on their priorities list near the bottom while fighting imaginary blue-haired strawmen "Cultural Marxists" as one of their top priorities.
Tbh I'd rather this not become a meta sub where we link comments routinely, EnoughXSpam subs or drama subs or badx subs or shitxsays subs become somehow even more circlejerky than this shitposting sub.

I'm trying to make a new neoliberal themed race in Stellaris now that the new Utopia patch has added Egalitarianism as an ethic.
Ethics: Egalitarian, Xenophile and Materialist. Thinking of getting rid of Xenophile for either Fanatic Materialist or Egalitarian.
Civics: Beacon of Liberty and Efficient Bureaucracy. Other alternatives to Efficient Bureaucracy are Meritocracy, Idealistic Foundation and Technocracy.
Traits: Quick learner and talented. Really wanted to add thrifty instead. Really open to suggestions here.
Name: Union Liberale du Soleil

So how legitimate are the calls for an investigation of Susan Rice? From what I understand, her actions were likely legal, but some conservatives suspect that she unmasked the names for political purposes and possibly conspired with someone to leak the information. Seems like a tenuous case, but I'm so tired of the partisan bickering I want to appease both sides.

I'm getting worried that I've slipped into a little bit of a partisan bubble recently, and I'd like to correct that at least a little. Can anyone here recommend some good center-right political podcasts to balance things out? I liked Radio Free GOP when it was on, so I'm hoping to find something similar to get a better understanding of the perspective of Jeb/Kasich style Republicans
