Sheʻs a Florida billboard wrongful injury lawyer at best, so I almost donʻt fault her for being so stupid and corrupt. The one that I find most concerning is Marco Rubio, who definitely knows better.

I will never forgive them for making me learn the word "fungible".

Also ʻfascistsʻ. Their inaction is a main ingredient in fascism.

And yet people keep supporting him by frequenting his platform. There is literally no excuse to be made for not leaving it that isnʻt ego driven selfishness.

I think you should replace Chuck Schumer.

It boggles the mind the malignant Cheeto is anything but grateful to Comey. Without Comey's hand in 2016 he'd still be just a washed up reality TV barker.

That is literally the funniest thing I've heard all day, and I'm in a regular back-and-forth screenwriting on a comedy . Funny, because true.

Murphy is fantastic. I'm actually a big fan of Mark Kelly. I think he has what it takes to speak across political differences. I'm so sick of the Dem establishment failing to rise to support the real leaders in their ranks.

Schatz is the real deal and knows how to meet the moment. So sad the Dem establishment is stuck in the "strongly worded letter" phase of last century's politics.

The Democratic establishment fails because they always, without fail, sideline their best, most passionate people. It was a weird strategy that worked in 1992 because the discussion then was between whole milk and 2%. We're not talking about milk anymore. Chuck (verb) Schumer—he's a wet sock.

They won't do that, and they also won't back Mamdani, the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY WINNER FOR MAYOR OF NEW YORK. It's almost like they ate literally ALL the lead paint in 1976, then ran for senate.

The release of the Epstein files.

Hip Gnosis @brandonwjones.bsky.social · 21d

On this historic day, Donald Trump linked Tylenol to the Epstein files.

Hip Gnosis @brandonwjones.bsky.social · 21d

BREAKING: Tylenol has been linked to an increased lack of headache.

A word of advice: Any time someone in a fascist-leaning regime says, "we can do this the easy way, or we can do it the hard way," make them do it the hard way. There is literally no benefit to letting them have it easy, even if you know they will ultimately get their way.

Anti-ANTIFA is just FA.

It certainly isn't ANTIFA. Probably just FA; but we should definitely follow the money.

Hip Gnosis @brandonwjones.bsky.social · 22d

But now you kind of have to, or you'll go to hell. Quite a pickle you've gotten yourself into here.

First, most aren't very bright, so there's that. Second, most believe that one party rule is a foregone conclusion and there won't be anyone to interpret their actions as illegal. Third, I think they're certain of a failsafe pardon, should the shit really hit the fan, bringing us back to point 1.

Speaking as one who has analyzed and writes dialogue, that text exchange reads like a screenwriting 101 student taking the course as a pass/fail elective. No way two 22 y/olds wrote that to each other.

Sounds like it was written by the same playwright as the Epstein letter.

Hip Gnosis @brandonwjones.bsky.social · 28d

I've been obsessively listening to stories of Holocaust survivors, in part to hear how they came to understand the severity of the reality they were in. It's surprising/not at all surprising the frequency with which they say "we never thought it would get worse".
