Just a guy, standing in front of a social media app, asking it not to be a hellsite.
Seems like we’ll be getting a lot of “Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic primary…here’s why that’s bad for Democrats” stories today. And I see that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and the DNP establishment is already slamming their “We need to be more centrist to win!” button. Gonna be a fun 3 months.

If there is even the faint whisper of a pandemic under Trump 2.0, our family may just lock ourselves in our house and put on hazmat gear if we have to venture out. It'll be that bad.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.The Fauci hearing perfectly illustrated how living through a once in a century pandemic somehow made Republicans far worse on public health. God forbid we face anything like covid again during Trump 2.0. There will be no Dr Fauci around to try to talk sense to Trump.
Much like the Epstein Files, it amazes me how mainstream media has completely forgotten the critical oil (and other resources) shortages that are almost inevitable because of the illegal war with Iran. And when gas prices explode and/or shortages arrive, they'll be writing "How did this happened?"
Can someone in the media - ANYONE - please ask these Republican liars to show their evidence? “Where are you getting the data on these mass suicides? And who has proven a link to the vaccine?”

You know things are going great in MAGAland when their Dear Leader is: - Bringing up the specter of communism like it’s the 1950s - Keeps trying to relitigate the 2020 election he lost - Now is trying to go back to the Covid pandemic and blame it all on Dr. Fauci

It would so wonderful if we could once again have a president that had even the slightest understanding of the most basic aspects of government and foreign policy.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: “Canada disinvited the US to the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which is fine, considering they are paying substantial TARIFFS, but the original Deal on the Bridge, which was terribly negotiated by a previous Administration, no longer stands. We changed terms so that the US now gets 50%”
I’m not sure who looks more bored to be there: the people behind Trump or Trump himself.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "The border invasion -- I mean, these people were occupying all the apartments and the government was paying. And they were never going to be great. Remember the word I made up -- 'caravans.'"
Wonderful. Trump is going to use this as an excuse to ignore election results he doesn’t like. “Kalshi had <Republican candidate> ahead 65%-35%. Because <Democratic candidate> won, it’s proof that the election was rigged.”

Completely on par for Trump and his fellow white supremacists to rig a civics contest so that only white kids won.
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 2w agoThis story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...
All of the fallen troops came up to him with tears in their eyes saying, “Sir, we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. You’re so strong and manly, you must stop them even if it means I die, sir.” And then everyone clapped.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump on fallen US troops: "All of them said very strongly, 'We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.'"
His illegal war is going so well that our president is once again threatening war crimes.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "From this point forward, any time Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the US will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran."
This is what leadership looks like and how it acts. No wonder the Democratic Party is terrified of and hates him.

Yet another issue with these septuagenarian politicians, especially in the Democratic Party, is that they don’t understand that for most of the voters, “communism” and the “red scare” doesn’t mean anything to them. They didn’t experience the Cold War, a divide Germany, or the Cuban Missile Crisis.

He is 100% terrified to go after China (even if it was legitimate). He knows they would destroy him politically and militarily, to say nothing on potential kompromat they probably have on him.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoQ: Are you planning to impose consequences for what you announced about them meddling in The 2020 election? TRUMP: It took place a long time ago. I think China is maybe a little bit different today than it was then. But look, we do things to them too.
I’m mostly glad to hear that AI companies aren’t doing shit. But it also worries me because it means we’re one step closer to that AI tech bubble bursting and dragging the economy into a recession that will make the 2008 crisis look like a walk in the park.

If Iran really wants to stick it to Trump, they’ll launch their (justified) counter strikes tomorrow just before the markets open. Which will probably be about the same time Trump will say he’s stopping the bombings because Iran called him and is begging for a deal.
I honestly think that the Regime is hoping that these war crime attacks on Iran’s water and civilian infrastructure will push them over the edge and get Iran attacking their neighbor’s infrastructure. At that point, the Regime can use that as an excuse to really ramp up their illegal war.
Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 3w agoTrump has ordered US CENTCOM to open "the gates of hell" upon Iran after US casualties in Jordan, US officials tell NPR. Another US official tells CBS News tonight's US attacks will be much more extensive and larger than previous nights.
And this now greatly increases the chances that Iran strikes back at the water infrastructure of their neighbors. Which will create a catastrophic human rights emergency.
Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 3w agoThe US is adopting a strategy of attacking water storage and desalination plants designed to render the region uninhabitable. If continued, this strategy will make the Gulf littoral uninhabitable in the coming decades. Yet there is no discussion of these tactics and their repercussion in the US.
On the one hand, I want to just laugh at him and remind him “You don’t have authority to do this, jackass.” On the other hand, it worries me that there’s probably a 50/50 chance that they can get this in front of the corrupt SCOTUS who they know will shadow docket approve it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoMarkwayne Mullin says he’s making “mandatory” changes to elections, including requiring states to “scrub” their voter rolls
And CBS is doing the same. I’m honestly surprised and can’t wait to see Trump stroke out on Twitter over it and I’m sure his FCC lackey will start threatening broadcast licenses tomorrow.
