Like the assurances that roe v wade was settled law? Like assurances that Trump would release his taxes? Like assurances that ICE agents are only going after violent criminals? Like assurances that a SCOTUS nom would be blocked in an election year? Like assurances that Project 2025 wasn’t a thing?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoSen. Pete Ricketts on why the Trump administration isn't included in his stock trading ban bill: "What we want to do is make sure we're not locking out people who come from a successful business. We don't want to keep a successful business person from coming to Congress."
I mean, if this is the case then why not have full support behind Ukraine again?

Officially, The Good Son. My mom thought it was just another Macaulay Culkin/Elijah Wood kids movie. I thought it would be a kids movie with cursing. It was super boring for an 8 y/o. Unofficially T2: Judgment Day which I had seen a good portion of when I slept over a friends house who had HBO.

Patrick Klepek@patrickklepek.bsky.social · 3w agoDo you remember what *your* first R-rated movie was? I finally asked my mom (I couldn't remember), and she told me it was The Lost Boys when I was roughly the same age as my daughter (about 9). The movie traumatized her more than it did me, apparently
the "who won the 2020 election" question is the world's easiest litmus test to determine if a Trump appointee is going to be a hack, because every single one of them can't answer the question and every single one of them is, inevitably, a hack every Dem should vote no on all of them

And I’m not going to comment on it because I don’t know. And you guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours in the last few days.”
