USER WAS BLOCKED FOR THIS POST@blockedforthispost.bsky.social · 8h agoThe house and senate members ultimately choose their leader . You let your rep know how you feel, but it’s their choice
On "dove trump bamboozled by blob" could we please remember his first choice Nat Sec Advisor in 2016 was Mike Flynn, who yes did recommend reducing tensions with Russia and sorta China.... IN ORDER TO FORM A GLOBAL ANTI-IRAN ALLIANCE. As detailed in a book Flynn wrote with Michael Ledeen (iykyk)

oh, I see your mistake here. you see, Talarico is a Democrat, who have wildly different policies and positions than the Republican party. Don't know how you made that slip-up.
I admit, I didn't expect "My corruption is bigger because I'm bigger" as a Trumpian line of defense but I suppose I should've.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10h agoMy goodness — Douthat landed knockout punches on Trump over his corruption
I'm going to guess this is going to be: -No tangible outcome -Vague statement of progress -Trump does victory lap, press does not ask any difficult questions

i'd bet that there is a 100% likelihood hegseth is impeached in the house, maybe before the end of next week, and the only question is whether they can pull together enough disaffected and angry losers going home in the senate to convict
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says he’s a ‘hard yes’ on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
Jeffries said in an interview on ABC’s “This Week” that he supports Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., in his efforts to impeach Hegseth.

I would like to note for the record that another week has passed without the US invading Canada.
🧵 #StayReadyCrew I’m going to say this now so my joy when MS is called won’t be overshadowed by reality. A lot of the same people that helped the orange demon get a 2nd term & hell yes that includes the looney left, are going to be complaining about the awful things that kick in January 1, 2027.
Stopping villains from murdering half the world is murder, which is bad, unlike murdering half the world, which is neutral to positive.
Effy, Surrender Expediter@mseffy.myatproto.social · 21h agoHe really came right out and said it.
Trevor Noah became a millionaire by making you laugh. His entire contribution to the fight against Trumpism was cracking jokes-- not nothing, but minimal. Now he doesn't even do that, just offers critiques from the sidelines. Remember that when you choose to boost his voice or his talking points.
I would like to see my monthly bills resolved diplomatically, too, but I'm not staking the household finances on that.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this app responds to the votes for Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader. I'm sure the reactions be universally thoughtful, accepting, and understanding.
I don't know what's funnier about the meta behind this, that there's no actual joke in this beyond "ha ha the different people are starring" or the fact that this actually looks amazing and I would watch every episode.
Mrs. Detective Pikajew, Esq.@clapifyoulikeme.favrd.social · 18h agoObsessed with this right-wing AI slop threatening that Democrats will make everyone eat hummus
We need to just repeal them all. And yes, that includes the cuts on the middle class, "no tax on tips," whatever. We need tax revenue to pay for government services.

A Ukrainian MiG-29 pilot shot down a Shahed with his jet’s gun Pilot Denfix fired a few precise bursts from the 30mm cannon in a close dogfight, saving costly air-to-air missiles, and rated the risky shot: “Difficulty 9 out of 10 for me" 🎥 Air Command West, Ukrainian Air Force
Still giddy about this. Come January there will be zero Republican governors anointing themselves imperator wardens of the holy southern border. No national guard stunts, no meme bussing, no Prigozhin-esque rants about asylum seekers in front of a platoon of state troopers.
Its kind of funny that Donald Trump is out here posting "My department of justice will do battle with these CRIMINALS" as everyone is literally resigning from the DOJ in the background lmao
I do not like that I have become a Schumer Defender. But it's part and parcel with "Do you understand what this job actually is?"
It lasted nine years so the obvious name is The Seven Years War
All the incentives line up to be mean to Dems, writ large, in a way that they do not for Republicans. And I want to specify-- its not centrists, or libs, or progressives, or socialists-- it's the Democratic Party as an entity. No matter your perspective, there's a viewpoint of "Dems bad."
Vibecession Forever@ghazelleberner.bsky.social · 2d agoHere’s the problem: There is SO much criticism of Democrats on the internet, there is no such thing as something small. It is 24/7. It is non-stop. It is being done in good faith, bad faith, by republicans, by leftists, by democrats, by state actors, by journalists. The scale is unfathomable.
Command-Fing "unmanned" and changing it all to "uncrewed." It's morning in America again.
