Nailed it!

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

That wasn’t his motive, though. He shot four Democrats over their ideology and he had more Democrats on his list. I don’t know how this story about him shooting MH because she voted with the Republicans got started, but like a lot of right wing disinformation, it is long lived.

When I hear that “I don’t see color” line, it’s typically followed up with the same person saying something racist.

The parties are tied right now. Watching Trump illegally tear down the East Wing yesterday is unlikely to win you new supporters.

I don't know what those No Kings protesters were upset about, now if you'll excuse me I'm replacing the White House with a ✨Royal Palace✨

Uh okay. Is that how that works, the investors decide on ceasefires?

Did Trump invoke the Insurrection Act before sending in troops? No. So this is irrelevant.

How could trump invoke the IA when there are no states in rebellion against the federal government, no state is refusing to protect their citizens, and states are not in charge of enforcing federal law?

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Balmer supported Trump and tried to get his family to vote for Trump. Why did you leave that out?

MJ @mj2468.bsky.social · 1h

Nope, 274 agents were not in attendance at the riot. That number includes all the FBI agents in DC who were securing & investigating.
Agents came to investigate the 2 pipe bombs & to help w/security at the Eclipse.
Informants are people who get caught in crimes who inform to get leniency.

That is all far right. DePape was on the left but changed his views years ago.
As for implying that a stranger who broke into the Pelosi’s home, threatened Pelosi, & then almost killed him w/a hammer to the head, why would you say that might be a lover unless your hate overwhelms your common sense?

MJ @mj2468.bsky.social · 1h

You’re repeating gross lies.
There‘s a surveillance video of DePape breaking into that home. WHY don’t you know that?
Your story about his ideology is disproven by his online history & his testimony. He was a believer in Gamergate, Pizzagate, Qanon, & that the 2020 election was stolen. Next >>

That turned out to be false.

After hundreds of trials, no one with antifa or BLM has ever been shown to be at the riot on J6.

Actually Posse Comitatus protects the rights of the states.
ICE has repeatedly hurt citizens & both documented & undocumented immigrants. ICE is masked, they don’t show their authority to detain people, they knock people down.
They grab people & don’t explain where they are.
ICE creates danger.

I thought we’d have common ground in condemning Trump’s illegal scheme to get money from foreign governments and then repay them with favors.
Do we have common ground on Posse Comitatus?
