Optimistic lefty nihilist
- A swing voter is not a centrist. It's like, a guy who loves guns but has a gay sister, loves weed but hates food stamps because his cousin who owes him 50 bucks gets them. (Also, Osama was Iraqi.) You don't win that guy with a carefully crafted platform, you do it by not seeming fucking lame
- People really refuse to admit that it really is down to that. Dems are fucking losers. They’re lame
- This isn’t just an op-ed either, it’s the editorial board of one of the most important legacy papers in the country. They are absolutely trying to launder transphobia as a respectable centrist opinion turned elite consensus, as happened in the UK.
- it is truly remarkable how many people consider themselves amateur medical scientists when it comes to the incredibly specific and niche issue of transgender healthcare www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
- The common thread in most transphobic writing is that we are an object. Of ridicule, of study, of hatred. To them, we a problem for “normal” people to solve, and we are incapable of contributing to that solution.
- Many grown adults never learned that everyone else has agency too
- The framers of the constitution accurately predicted the problems that could arise from a corrupt criminal being elected president and wrote the necessary safeguards in there and it just didn't matter at all. They didn't know about the "If you're a star they let you do it" principle back then
- It’s wild to know that all it would take to stop this is like 4 republicans on earth with a modicum of morality and… nope
- 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.
- Yes that IS corruption you fucking clown. A mobster giving a councilman a bag of money to make sure they keep ignoring them is definitely corrupt
- REPORTER: Why are you creating an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners but not others? TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.
- Literal klan shit. Only neo Nazis think this
- You’re terrible at being a pedant.
- The only shock to me has been how overtly corrupt and the msm has been. They clearly picked a side years ago
- Gifts to government officials are illegal. You should’ve kept your ball washing mouth shut Eric.
- (Me, a genius) I see no through line with how George W Bush, who legalized torture through illegal means and illegally invaded a country and killed millions of people, is connected to the current moment
- Trump is just uglier about it. The problem is that very few on the left see Trump as the natural progression of the gop that he is. From Nixon to Reagan to Dubya to Trump is a straight line of unconstitutional chaos that goes unchecked. Hes not an outlier at all
- From PunchBowl: An internal Senate Leadership Fund Poll shows John Cornyn losing to Ken Paxton by 10 points. #TXSen punchbowl.news/article/camp...
- I’m leaving this shit hole state for real 🙄
- As a DV survivor, Johnny Depp has become a public figure representing many domestic abuse survivors. -It's not a role he sought, but one he earned anyway. -His return and success inspire everyone who has survived abuse. #JohnnyDeppIsASurvivor #SurvivorsSupportSurvivors
