the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 15h

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

When you look like me (chubby white bald dude with a beard) and live where I live (red ass Ohio) it’s wild what some people will just assume you agree with.

People who think this kind of shit is any significant escalation of nazi/fash tendencies among right-wing conservatives has very clearly never lived in an area of America where there are lots of them and they feel comfortable. They've been saying extremely vile shit like this my entire life.

grimm ☀️ @mugrimm.bsky.social · 15h

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

From the first days of the admin, “when Trump and his allies attacked Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde … they have made clear that religious liberty does not extend to their perceived enemies. They’ve attacked Catholic, Lutheran, Muslim and Jewish organizations that step out of line w/their agenda.”

The masturbatory nature of mainstream media is one of its biggest flaws. If you’re in the media space, you must be a serious person and deserve to be lauded. In no way can someone who’s prominent in media be a complete charlatan
