Quando omni flunkus, moritati

I think they wanna poison the well, get everyone who hasn’t been paying attention thinking this was Biden’s fault. To muddy the waters, cuz none of the info re: the shooter so far is going their way & only way to keep it from being a net political loss is to firehose the public w/ trash accusations.

They really are trying to make any sort of criticism of Trump sound like incitement, aren't they?

Trump only really processes like five different insults, and they’re all super weird (small hands, not a billionaire, etc) But Vance is so obviously wounded by every negative remark and puffs up his chest a little more each time to hide it It’s hilarious

My cold take is that someone taking a shot at Trump & Biden taking the negative ads down is a net positive for the Biden campaign because they’re forced to articulate positive policy positions people may actually want to vote FOR

Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changeswww.washingtonpost.com The president has discussed the plans with constitutional scholars and members of Congress in recent weeks.

Thanks @steveshives.bsky.social for saying this. Too many people are full on doomers rn & this is exactly the kinda passion we need to see

it's not that he's changed his mind about trump, really. it's more that he's changed his mind about hitler.

I get that he’s taken it all back, including when he said he feared Trump would be America’s Hitler, but I guess my position is… I have never gone to work for someone I’ve ever in any point in my life compared directly to Adolf Hitler… and it’s a fair question… www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

a far right conspiracy theorist broke into nancy pelosi’s house and beat her husband with a hammer and he and most of the party made jokes about it

If a Democrat had been the target of an assassination attempt, can anyone plausibly imagine a Trump statement that did not denigrate and equivocate?

Does nobody in the world remember that a Gabby Giffords, a sitting American member of congress, was shot in the head just over a decade ago? And that Steve Scalise was shot in 2017? I get that we're all scared but calling this unprecedented is just irresponsible and wrong.

Just because my buddy is singing Musk’s praises right now for the counter factual of “imagine the censorship we’d be seeing if Musk hadn’t bought Twitter” I need to reiterate my long held belief that Elon Musk should eat a bowl of hot runny shit

Over on Twitter they’ve already decided that: 1) The shooter is a chubby guy linked to Antifa 2) The shooter is a trans woman 3) There’s no shooter is was staged 4) There was a shooter but the whole thing is a Deep State False Flag 5) It’s not a false flag but rather deliberate incompetence by SS

Biden releases statement following shooting at Trump rallywww.wfla.com President Joe Biden released a statement Saturday evening following the deadly shooting that injured Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Biden’s gonna go on stage in ~2hrs & say “The thing that makes this country great is our tradition of peaceful democracy which is the envy of the world! Violence like this is unacceptable-let me say that again, unacceptable!-in our society! I wish Mrs. Pelosi, I mean Mr. Trump, a speedy recovery”

Butler County DA Richard Goldinger tells me Trump was grazed by gunfire but is safe. An audience member was killed and the shooter is dead. Another person is in serious condition. — Meryl Kornfield, WaPo (WTAE's Mike Valente earlier reported this from same source, but I'd been waiting to confirm)

I hope you’re happy, assholes

The GOP proved something w/ the overturn of Roe V Wade that frankly we still haven’t fucking learned and we *refuse* to fucking learn on the left. Mainly that the only way to make real progress towards your goal in a modern representative democracy is incrementalism.

JJ continues to be an absolute beacon of reasonableness & pragmatism on this site

Where are you discrediting it? Who is hearing about it? How will people know that takes are transphobic if they only ever see transphobia? How are people learning better information about us? Where? Is it where people are already getting their news?

A guy I know who is planning to vote Tory sent me this thinking it was something that would change my mind in favour of those heartless fucking monsters & it’s just fucking Murder-by-NIMBYism and I’m fucking disgusted
