If Dems did this, it would be (rightly!) reported unceasingly as a threat to Democracy as we know it. There'd be a huge bipartisan coalition fighting it overnight.

Is there an account on here that is collecting and posting verified ICE videos? I'd follow and amplify if it's out there.

I'm a Mariners fan, and they think that if they can't break me with this fuckn game they will break me with commercials for, literally, Tom Brady. But nope. I long ago transcended pain.

Top 10 TV night of your life or huge, sad letdown? We'll probably know in, like, an hour or so.

I am surprised that people are mad at her about this? If anything, she should have been more firm instead of sounding squishy with, "I don't wanna have a negative experience with you."

But I agree with you that he has dementia and is likely a Weekend At Bernie's type puppet! I just don't think this type of lie is evidence of that.

Dale @dalegrauman.bsky.social · 1d

You're acting like this kind of lie is unusual for him and therefore evidence of dementia. But this is how he has always been.

Dale @dalegrauman.bsky.social · 1d

He has dementia, but I think this is just him lying.

He also said he wasn't a Christian and that his supporters would forgive him for murder. Both correct!

I bet if we laid this logic out explicitly, instead of just vaguely gesturing toward it, it wouldn't look silly at all.

Dale @dalegrauman.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, I don't know the answer, but I keep hearing this talking point and thinking that it doesn't really address the allegation.

Just eyeballing it here, but I think the slope is steeper in 2025 that it was for most of 2023 and 2024.

A mark against the class, honestly.

Dale @dalegrauman.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, the same Christianity that urges sinners to repent also says something like, "Anybody can do it, but nobody will but by the grace of God."

Dale @dalegrauman.bsky.social · 2d

Repentance is deep change, wholesale rejection of the old ways, wholesale embrace of new attitudes, behaviors, and (sometimes) relationships. It's exactly what we need from these people.
