David Brooks is always described - by leftists, by the way - as a "conservative" or a "moderate conservative." ROTFLMAO! Brooks is a full-on libtard posing as a squishy conservative who writes political and cultural hackery for The New York Slimes. He's a pathetic joke - always has been.
Community Notes NUKES elitist David Brooks and his burger/booze tweet from outer space and it's GLORIOUS

As Twitchy reported earlier, [u]David Brooks took a picture of a very expensive meal at the airport claiming THAT was why the economy was bad[/i] and yeah, that didn't go so hot for the out-of-touch elitist. Not at all.
David Brooks (@nytdavidbrooks) ~ This meal just cost me $78 at Newark Airport. This is why Americans think the economy is terrible.
What made it even worse though was when Community Notes showed up.
Ha!
Matthew Sitman (@MatthewSitman) ~ The community note on the David Brooks airport burger/booze tweet:
James Surowiecki (@JamesSurowiecki) ~ The Community Notes on Brooks' tweet says that the burger and fries cost $17 (which sounds right), making his tweet all the more mysterious. If it was satire, it didn't land. If it was meant to be serious, it made absolutely no sense.
Embrace the power of and - this didn't land AND it made absolutely no sense.
Sandy (@RightGlockMom) ~ Community Notes for the win! And, Brooks is a lush.
Did he think booze would be cheap at an AIRPORT?!
And $17 for a burger and fries isn't actually all that bad.

Two points:
1. This might be the greatest community note of all time.
2. Mr. Brooks might be an alcoholic.
Considering some of the Community Notes we've seen, that says A LOT.
Craig Harrington (@Craigipedia) ~ Okay, now that David Brooks has gotten a Community Note showing that the food part of his $78 meal only cost $17 ... I NEED TO KNOW what's in the glass.
Jay Wolf (@nodirtpolitics) ~ According to Community Notes, burger and fries at the Smokehouse Restaurant in Newark Terminal A, cost $17.
David Brooks ordered double shots of whiskey, $50.
Total $78 including taxes.
Stop getting drunk at the airport, David.
Or at least stop lying about what your meal cost for clicks and taps on X.
Yes ... yes, we are ... at David Brooks.
Mike Friedman (@MFriedmanNOLA) ~ Community Notes for the win.
Brooks is a liar. What a surprise. He's one of the most tedious talking heads out there. He has no idea of anything outside his upper middle class white bubble thinks or does.
He's tediously pious, but has the requisite MUCH younger 2nd wife.
He's a boor.
Ouch.
And a much-deserved ouch at that.
Brooks married his second wife, Anne Snyder, in 2017. Anne was his research assistant and is 23 years his junior.
