This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Remember when mueller refused to recommend charges against Trump because he thought it was improper and he couldn’t prove it beyond a reasonable doubt?

This is like when my dad told me Joe Biden had dementia but he was gonna vote for him anyway.

Darjeeling Tea Ltd @darjeelingltd.bsky.social · 6h

Pelosi basically did with the second stimulus and it helped Biden win and then Ossoff / Warnock on the promise of a second check.

That was M Gessen’s whole thesis.

The best way to defeat authoritarians is to mock them.

No this isn’t economic this is just the rise of woke.

Darjeeling Tea Ltd @darjeelingltd.bsky.social · 7h

No the discovery was bad and led to bad things lol. We need a new name.

Hot tip for libs:

When you replace a cultural standard, don’t replace it with something more annoying.

You cannot change Columbus Day to indigenous people’s day. It’s too many words & takes too long to say!

MLK day, Juneteenth, ✅

Find a new name for 10/13. This is why people get annoyed at libs.

Is Lady Gaga the Dolly Parton of this generation.

Musically brilliant. Impeccable character. Somehow on the right side of every issue.

Discuss.

Joe Biden got the most votes in history by a huge margin. The lies you people tell yourselves is truly wild.

Darjeeling Tea Ltd @darjeelingltd.bsky.social · 1d

I know it’s easier to be sexist than admit that Trump is quite a strong candidate and commands support from too many Americans.

In 2020, after 4 years of chaos, after a year of covid and hundreds of thousands of deaths he increased his vote share by 11 million people. Do you ever think about that?

Darjeeling Tea Ltd @darjeelingltd.bsky.social · 1d

Right but nobody would have cared, impoundment isn’t a salient issue like healthcare is.

Darjeeling Tea Ltd @darjeelingltd.bsky.social · 1d

Well the problem is healthcare costs are skyrocketing anyway, ACA subsidies or not.

Inflation seems set to bail us out.

I don’t think he has it in him tbh. He’s gonna be a pos about it no matter what.

Darjeeling Tea Ltd @darjeelingltd.bsky.social · 1d

I had a long conversation with my (normie) husband about this. And he brought up Dobbs and I said well the stove wasn’t hot enough and he thinks we’re going overboard. “Hot stove theory but the stove isn’t hot enough is just stupid.”

He thinks the fight itself has helped Dems & hurt Trump.

And his whole “I’m really a socialist, this doesn’t make me happy to report but I’m doing it for your own good!” bit. 🙄🙄🙄

Darjeeling Tea Ltd @darjeelingltd.bsky.social · 1d

Btw it’s the same with Jentelsen. From a Warren Dem to a 3rd way centrist overnight.

The grift must be so good!

Darjeeling Tea Ltd @darjeelingltd.bsky.social · 1d

💯

What’s infuriating is how transparent his bit is. And yet dem leadership can’t see through it.

Thank god we have Prtizker & AOC.

I pointed out an error with his math once - in an uncharacteristically polite tone - and he immediately blocked me.

Basically took that as proof he’s fudging his data / full of it.
