- Vaxxed?
- Getting called a "cowardly shitass punk" for fleeing for my life from fascists just got added to the bingo card!
- Trump’s 1st term happened because Obama lied about what he’d try to do, then sold out to Wall St & then put thumb on scale for Clinton. Trump’s 2nd term happened because Biden & Dems lied about his cognition, then put thumb on scale for Harris. All involved got rich & will face no consequences.

- My favorite was 303 Creative vs Elenis wherein a bigot and her bigot funders just made up a scenario that didn't happen and SCOTUS not only decided she had standing but was like, "You know what, this thing that never happened did harm you. You win!" Not an attorney so apologies if I misrepresented.
- Accepting a private jumbo-jet from a foreign nation is a clear violation of our Constitution, which plainly prohibits U.S. officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments.
- If only there was something you could do about it! Ah well nevertheless, gotta vote for funding genocides and such right?
- Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up. Do not be like Hasan Piker. Be way smarter. Never. Talk. To. Cops.

View full threadif you do not have hasan piker privilege, you should do this. hasan made that clear, that if you're not famous and cannot afford good lawyers, shut the fuck up and do not tell cops anything. he wanted to report on the conditions and get additional info, at his own risk, specific to his situation
- "get additional info" that he wouldn't have been able to get with an attorney?

- Do people who write for you all possess object permanence because this article makes me doubt it
- Centrist democrats will watch this man lose horribly to idiots like Nigel Farage and then say, "but what if it works for us?"
- As actual attorneys have pointed out, Eric is full of shit.
- TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7

View full threadCorruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
- Weren't you the asshole who was whining about people supporting this drivel on social media? No need to answer :)
- I'll throw centrists a bone and say the ongoing genocide in Gaza didn't substantially affect the outcome of the general election. Even with that given, how the FUCK is anyone thanking or being positive about the guy who stayed in the race longer than he should have and doomed us into this situation?

- So your choice was to use AI slop that steals IP from talented individuals instead of using actual photos of the people? This is one example of why we hate you all :)
- As much as I love the job security, someone is going to have to stop these AI bros before they have us watering the crops with Brawndo.
- "PhD in AI" lmaoooooooooooo Must be similar to Pete Navarro's PhD from Harvard.
- Okay, I muted Stancil. If you tag me in his posts from this point on, you are literally threatening his life.

- Keep your hands off the American people.
- If he has broken the law, why aren't you leading the effort to impeach him?
- He's a kinda nerdy guy who posts mainstream democrat takes For this reason the far left wants to torture him mainly cuz he's dorky as the far left is a xenophobic and sexist as maga they are just in denial about it He gives off hapless autistic guy vibes and for that reason they torture him
- What the fuck are you talking about? One of his big "moments" was threatening to fight someone if he ever saw them in person lol
- 🧵Ok, I rag on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, for his impeachable conduct on deportations and abandonment of all his prior views. But today he's the one "constantly on the phone" and paying attention to the India-Pakistan crisis. Should we be reassured? Absolutely not. 1/

- Feels like there are better comparisons then. That would remind me of Slotkin reminiscing about Reagan.
- So no, it's not a comfort to know Rubio has been on the phone. He's not Kissinger II. More comforting is that Donald Trump seems deathly afraid of real shooting wars and nuclear anything. But the United States trying to do delicate backchannel de-escalation? Don't count on it. Not anymore. 9/9
- I'm struggling here. Are you saying we would be apt to feel better if Rubio was *more* like one of the biggest war criminals in the history of the world?
- If I were an organization providing news and reliable journalism, I would probably stop asking fascists (i.e., cops) for their side of the story. This wasn't a "protest" but NYT won't correct this for hours or days or maybe ever.

- lol there it is

- Because enforcement and infiltration *increased* more recently as evidenced by extensive surveillance and infiltration of left wing groups starting around 2014 in Ferguson. But I don’t expect you to acknowledge this because you’re just so hung up on punching left

- Absolutely! The Labour Party constituency wants nothing more than for Keir to make deals with Donald Trump. This is a "political victory". Definitely. 100%.

- Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.
- New: Trump is expected to announce on Thursday that the US will strike a trade deal with the UK, according to a person familiar with the matter, the first agreement for the administration since it imposed sweeping tariffs against its trading partners last month @theguardian.com story TK
- Something I hope everyone covers is how the Labour Party is being led by idiots, losers, and appeasers
- Labour looked at what happened in Canada and Australia and said, "nah fam, we embrace fascism here"

- DOGE guy at the CFPB owned verboten stocks. He was explicitly warned by ethics lawyers that he wasn’t permitted to take any action that could benefit those companies — and him. He then helped fire workers anyway. Including the ethics lawyers who warned him. www.propublica.org/article/cfpb...
