MTG understands what made Trump 2016 work better than the other Republicans, and she is positioning herself to be the successor when he inevitably dies. The Heritage Foundation thinks they can just hand it to Vance, but it might not work that way

Two-piece Advocate @ytpjason.bsky.social · 6h

She knows the Heritage Foundation isn’t going to advance her career and politically savvy enough to realize that no other republican is doing right-wing populism.

Marjorie Taylor Greene : "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance premiums are going to go up. Homeowner's insurance goes up every year. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

Posting this for anyone- myself included- who gets questioned for doing “white people stuff.” No, it’s our stuff. How do you think our ancestors survived, not just in the colonial diaspora, but in our ancestral homelands?
Being in nature is returning to our native roots also. 🍄 🌱

This is also why I stopped using terms like, “Doing white people stuff.” That gives them ownership of nature. Nature has belonged to us all and it only became “white people stuff” when they restricted access to it and found ways to profit off it.

To make things worse, you probably can’t even run from an ass whipping. When is the last time you ran at a full sprint? Shit could get real spooky for you

But throwing hands is not fighting anymore. Do you know how to defend against a leg kick? I sure as hell don’t. New chokes and shit out there now.

I literally have no idea if I can fight. I know that I can throw hands. I used to box a little, but I have been exactly one fight since Bill Clinton left office, and that was a quick scratch on a basketball court.

Fellas I have bad news for you: there’s a very good chance that you can’t fight. If you are a grown man you probably have not had a fight in a long ass time, and I regret to inform you that fighting has changed

That’s not a random sampling, and I would definitely remove the cities with the crazy homicide rates because the gunplay reduces the number of scraps. These YN in the sheistys cannot fight.

In a random sample of 100 Americans, you’ll find maybe 20 who’ve been in a fight past the age of 15. Out of 100 Brits, 15 were in a fight last Chewsday

This is purely a safety issue. You simply cannot sit in the exit row if the crew doesn’t trust you to follow their instructions. His refusal to get off signaled that he might pose a danger to the flight.

Kashmir Hill @kashhill.bsky.social · 3d

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

I asked this question in 2020 and again in 2024: what issues can you say, definitively, that the Democratic party stands for?

I think we can reasonably say abortion and social security. Everything else is negotiable, and they failed at protecting abortion.

And and and how many issues are gonna be hit with “they shouldn’t stand up for that bc it will hurt them in the election” before it looks like they’re spineless and struggling to stand for anything?

(They already look like this)

Gravy Crockett @bostonjerry.bsky.social · 3d

The logic of "Democrats shouldn't stand up for trans rights because it will hurt them in elections" makes no sense. There are NO voters who are ready to vote for Democrats but decide not to because they just can't get on board with support for trans rights. Those people are Republicans.
