This is unthinkable, but here I am thinking it:

If Trump gave an order to invade Canada, he would be triggering NATO Article V against the United States itself. So the only constitutional response by those officers to such an order is to treat it as an immediate, irrevocable resignation from him.

Every now and then I remember the press reaction to him claiming we live in a simulation was broadly “Real Life Tony Stark Elon Musk Posits Mind-Blowing Thought Experiment 🤯” instead of “This Billionaire Nutjob Doesn’t Think Other People Are Real”

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?

So when Trump and Miller and the rest say and do explicitly racist shit, the political press is unable to call it racism unless it’s literally burning a cross on a Black person’s lawn

Queerhawk 🏳️‍🌈 | 🇺🇦 | 🛡 @alwaysadorecats.bsky.social · 9h

There’s a broad sense in white American society that racism is bad, but there’s also the belief that centuries of racism inexplicably stopped in 1969. It’s insane, but they believe it because they never heard any differently.

This is wrong in the sense that it’s completely untrue.

A reminder that Walz kept hitting the "weird" thing to the very end, neither Harris nor the vaguely defined "consultants" told him to stop, and the difference was the press stopped covering it

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

He might as well be saying there are telepathic walruses on the moon (to which the political press would say “President Trump falsely claims there are walruses outside of their natural habitat” and call it a day)

Ah, but Jake Tapper did an interview-via-text with someone claiming to be Trump, so clearly he’s all there! 🙃

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

My sense is that Republican billionaires already believe that Dem billionaires are spending their money on a left-wing astroturf campaign (which is why they keep spending to find The Switch that Turns Off Woke) but Dem billionaires are slow to realize they *should* be spending their money that way.

Queerhawk 🏳️‍🌈 | 🇺🇦 | 🛡 @alwaysadorecats.bsky.social · 1d

In general, our group of billionaires is pretty bad at putting their money to good use than theirs are.

Like, Tom Steyer put his face on tv, spent more money than Scrooge McDuck to come third in the SC primary, then disappeared to his ranch to sulk. He’s not building TPUSA From The Left.

Donny “Two Dolls” strikes again

Queerhawk 🏳️‍🌈 | 🇺🇦 | 🛡 @alwaysadorecats.bsky.social · 1d

1. This is fascinating!

2. “Stopa L’Aqua” is a legendary name

These battles will allegedly stop in 1705, after an event devolved into fights with knives and sticks, pushing the authorities to ban them entirely. This is somewhat contradicted by later events in London. The first international boxing match took place there in 1725. It was between John Whitacre and a Venetian Gondolier named "Stopa l'Aqua," who was said to be quite a formidable fighter in his country.

The political press has the power to make a Her Emails story about any politician at any time, and they choose to do so only in response to feeling snubbed.

(Trump screaming lies at them next to a helicopter or Miller being a nazi weirdo does not make them feel snubbed)

Biden tried that and the press responded by freaking out and calling him a dementia patient with Parkinsheimer’s.

Brian Stelter being an asshole insinuating that Joe Biden has Parkinson’s, because his job is to post on Ex dot com and not to convey accurate information to the public.

I gotta ask because I’ve been considering the same thing - is that wasp tattoo a reference to Sufjan Stevens?

Looks sick btw!
