You mean if Republicans, who are too busy gutting the federal government & arresting innocent people, don't act.

Can't wait to see the radiofrees of the world arguing with critics of this article that the real problem is libs in backwards hats using terms like LGBTQIA and fascist

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Still of the gameshow category "My Wife, the Tramp" from the movie Billy Madison.

Years of minimizing & ignoring the crazy in their own ranks has turned those snobs into intellectual leaders of groups that loathe intellectual thought. And they don't like it!

Rather than face that, they double-down on sneering at young folks & liberals (whatever their warped idea of a liberal is)

Genuinely confused by this. And I understand the gravity of ordering state police to arrest federal officers, so I dont even know if it is the right move *at this point*

But how would it be breaking the law?

How is stopping a federal agent from potentially murdering someone in cold blood illegal?

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Funny how every person who complains about being cancelled also has a high-paying job at a prestigious organization in their respective profession.

Lololol you mean the guy who wrote a book about Biden's mental health -- and claimed that Trump's campaign was disciplined and within the realm of normalcy -- is now ok with doing text interviews????

@jaketapper.bsky.social is a total fraud.

I love how he talks about safe-seat Dem politicians embracing "the groups" as if thats an actual thing.

In reality, Dem leaders act ashamed of progressives and throw them to the wolves.

Meanwhile you have dolts like Fetterman riding "the groups" to a Senate seat, just to turn on them immediately.

Even if she does cook the books, he's still going to find some reason to threaten their license and/or sue to force them into another "settlement"

(And its going to be something watching her twist herself in knots trying to blame it on liberal college students)

It's gonna be something to watch her try and blame liberal college students when Trump inevitably goes after CBS' broadcast license under her "leadership"

I'm sure Jake Tapper is writing the book as we speak, seeing as he is all about that sort of thing when it's a Democrat.

In every other sport, like 90% of everything that happens in-game -- penalties, calls, non-calls, etc -- is reviewable.

Yet the NFL still has arbitrary rules about when you can challenge and what you can challenge. There's no point to all the tech and camera angles if you can't fuckin use it.

Respectfully, why are you talking about healthcare premiums today with the videos coming out of Chicago and Portland? Innocent Americans are being gassed & beaten at the direction of the President.

Ya know what gets voters' attention? Facism.

Ya know what doesn't? Bland discussion about premiums.

Donovan McFlabb @donovanmcflabb.bsky.social · 8d

I worked for someone who said this kind of nonsense daily. He used it as an excuse to treat his employees like utter shit.

There's no larger red flag than someone virtue signaling about how important they are for their unhealthy work habits. You're just a self-righteous asshole, regardless of age.
