It’s practically writing itself.

I was a stupid kid once myself. In the circles I ran with it was consider extremely bad to talk like a Nazi.

These aren’t even kids, they’re young men attending college.

The state sponsored bribery will continue until our economy improves.

The empty suit who earlier today threatened to take American’s jobs away.

Hello? What good does bashing Biden now do?

Also, it wasn’t as simple as your headline suggests.

So many former YR types with their hands in the levers of power, intent on destroying the country because they were mocked as terminally uncool dweebs in college.

I already listed the things they’re not doing. Wake up, dude!

The same fuck who’s refusing to hang a plaque of appreciation for these same Capitol cops for what they’re endured on J6.

A plot he himself schemed behind the scenes to help make happen.

It’s about making sure we own the woke libs whatever the cost.

They’re not afraid of Hamas supporters, or antifa types, or Marxists, they’re afraid of the millions and millions of normal, decent people who are going to be out on the streets loudly and clearly saying no to their fascist dreams.

It’s entirely possible for someone to be mad at Republicans for what they’re doing, and, hear me out now, and mad at Democrats for what they’re *not* doing.

Most of us can keep more than one idea in our heads at a time.

Ooo! 11-dimensional chess!
Wheels within wheels!

God forbid we ever call a thing a thing.

Wrong. They could be much stronger public voices. They could gum up the works the way McConnell did when he was in the minority. They could absolutely refuse to approve Republicans nominees. They could tour the country giving speeches. They could attend court proceedings of ICE victims. And more.

Of course. It doesn’t change what I said.

“derisive comments or made light of”

Let me translate that for you:

“Pointed out his long history of making public remarks promoting bigotry, intolerance and hatred for people who didn’t share his views.”

Counterpoint: just because conspiracies can’t be irrefutably proven doesn’t mean they don’t happen.

How convenient. He labels any criticism from rank and file Democratic voters as a “circular firing squad” and holds that up as a shield.

He really believes he is above criticism.

Aesthetic note: I really wish podcasters would stop sticking their faces right up to the camera lens when they talk.

Up until January’25, there were well-understood legally-approved methods for effecting the arrest of suspected criminals that *didn’t* involve zip-tying infants in the middle of the night.

Wow. That’s really fucked up response. You’re a sick puppy.
catpushmike.bsky.social
Sounds like you’re more upset by terminology than mass slaughter.

Maybe something in the settings, like a slider. Woke, yes or no?

It would be better if the title of the film was somewhere in your post. Please consider your followers.

Chris Hayes does the same thing. No mention of the title.

Yes, I know what the movie is now.

Completely unacceptable.

THIS, and only this, is what Democrats should be fighting against in the shutdown battle.

What good are health care extensions if the fascists are instigating war?
