@br00t4c We heard so much "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" through the 80s in basically all media. The Right loved how it made them sound tough on crime but now they're constantly the ones complaining how hard it is to be a criminal.

@br00t4c There's literally nothing Putin could do that Trump won't allow short of making Trump into a martyr.

If Putin asked for Ivanka's head in a box the only question would be whether he wants that DHL or FedEx.

@br00t4c No, anyone who had the opportunity to oppose Trump in any way and declined to do so is a fascist collaborator.

It is a moral obligation to stop Trump from doing literally anything.

@br00t4c It turns out, humans are just stupid enough to accept being mass murdered if you attach the word "efficiency" to the effort.

@br00t4c He openly surrendered to fascists and that's somehow not enough to straight up remove him.

@br00t4c Yes. There's no meaningful counter argument, there's just nitpicky "It's not technically a recession until all 26 of these indicators are showing and we only have 25 right now" bullshit.

@inthehands @egghat DOGE is putting itself in a position to be the final arbiter of citizenship and whether anyone gets the protection of due process and of law.

@br00t4c He won't acknowledge any leadership that doesn't look exactly like his. Cooperative, democratic leadership will never meet the fascist definition of a single ruling ubermensch.

@br00t4c

@br00t4c "You're just trying to get ratings by doing things that people want done!"

Yes. That's her actual job. If she were doing anything different, she'd be wrong.

@br00t4c Hey, go figure. The career politicians who did the same "thoughts and prayers" about fascism as they did about gun violence, pandemic measures and everything else of imminent danger to their constituents just *might* be a big part of the problem.

@br00t4c Russia didn't really need to be represented twice at these meetings so it's reasonable for their agent Rubio to sit out.

@br00t4c Yes, and? Nobody in power now is against disenfranchisement. They'd prefer none of us had any power over them.

@br00t4c Vegetarianism and eating hyper-local seem to be the only reasonable responses here.

We're going to be eating dandelion salads with homegrown beans and rice by the end of this.

@br00t4c Maybe, regardless of the reception you get, the Town Hall should happen because it's a service to all the constituents.

We already know that if Congress is free to pick and choose who they're going to serve, it's the money that wins every time. They need to be denied the option of picking.

@br00t4c I don't have to know them personally to respect them. That's how human decency works.

It seems like media personalities whose job is to talk to the public should make a point of studying the things they're talking about rather than actively defending ignorance as though it were noble.

@br00t4c I remember this from last time, a denial from the Trump admin is as good as a written confession.

@br00t4c Interviewers should make a point of talking about Musk being autistic and asking what Kennedy makes of it.

@br00t4c You can only publicly float so many theories in the press.

It's as bad as it looks and Israel can't be trusted to tell us the truth about any further details.

@br00t4c Because he things women are property so he'll take as many as he can buy.
