"Self professed" sounds like an instant defamation suit.

It's not like it wasn't adequately described right there. Trump said he just granted a pardon because he was told he should do so. Human autopen right there.

What we really need are immigrants that actively promote Nazism in our public dialogue, right?

"And why is it always about identity politics with the left???"

But "Mamdani" is foreign-sounding in a much less acceptable way than "Cuomo" is...

Pretty sure he didn't say "vote for the black woman even if she's a right-wing tool".

"It's also entirely possible that I'm the one throwing myself on the knife that he's holding, so let's wait until all the facts are known."

Soooo if Trump just pardons people because he's told he should...how is that effectively different from the supposed autopen scandal where people were granting pardons without Biden's knowledge and consent?

And a really dumb lie. "Heyyyyy as long as you say that someone is a victim of a Biden witch hunt, I'll pardon them! No questions asked!"

If an actor was trying to play an obnoxious fatcat asshole and was making that face, the director would tell him to take it down about three notches.

His only talent is being utterly loathsome.

I maintain that's what the "oh well yeah if you read the Constitution then of course I can't run again" bit was about, as if it took years for anyone in his administration to find a copy of the thing.

It was just "OK so they keep asking about this plainly illegal plan we keep floating, so shut up!"

VagrantGuru @vagrantguru.bsky.social · 3d

I keep asking why the police can't just burn down people's houses while they're asleep, by the exact same reasoning. Terrorists are terrorists, right? If you can just kill people because you say they deserve it, how does that not apply here?

I know, but their views on LGBT rights are abysmal. Once we're talking about Fuentes as a Nazi, then "ohhhh well we can debate that on the merits!".

To be totally fair, Johnson forcing himself into torturous contortions to accommodate Trump is a bit of a handicap.

VagrantGuru @vagrantguru.bsky.social · 4d

Slightly reminiscent of Reagan's "kids buying vodka with the change from food stamps" bullshit.

What's the alternative? Either Democrats stop the filibuster, or Republicans end it.

What's taking so long for them to go nuclear? They know it's just a bad look, plus it advertises that they can't blame Democrats for the results at all. They want Democrats to cave.

Just saying, let them own it.

VagrantGuru @vagrantguru.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah because after you accept this bullshit framing and cave like cowards, they'll surely be motivated to negotiate then. "We face no consequences for being total assholes, but of course we'll act in good faith now!"

Ohhhh sure that sounds totally healthy. "I love you baby but you're going to hell if you don't change to fit my viewpoint!"

Meanwhile, back in reality, I know a Trumphumper that nearly dies from Covid because he wasn't vaccinated, and admitted he should have been.

If this can be a partisan issue, literally anything could be. Get AOC to say "don't stick your tongue in an electrical socket" and watch the sparks fly.

VagrantGuru @vagrantguru.bsky.social · 4d

Ohhhhhhkay so by the same logic, why can't cops blow up people's houses while they're sleeping and say "there was a meth lab in there, we just know it!"?

He probably thinks they're the same, like how he doesn't understand "asylum" except as a term for a mental institution.

Baaaahahahaaa! That's exactly how these clowns need to be smacked down.

Sooooo open-mindedness for Nazis, but homosexuality should totally be marginalized. Got it.
