Lesson learned: they will call you a dictatorial socialist no matter what you do, so do as you wish, without need for compromise.

It is astounding how you're capable of making genuinely every single person on this Earth detest you, then pretend as if it's a virtue.

My favorite political trope: red states have high crime because of blue cities

As if, blue states don’t have blue cities

Seth Appert is a hockey terrorist, he has no idea what he’s doing on the PP. he has no idea what he’s doing with his own PP. I’m surprised he can pee in the morning.

During election season: Dems don't have a clue what ordinary people go through! Inflation, the economy, jobs, they don't care about any of this! Vote for Trump!

After: the Superbowl half-time show will have Spanish 🤬

Well I'm blanking out my social media account, and making fake social media accounts of individuals I know to be MAGA, using those accounts to call Trump a "wrinkled sack of bitch tits"

"Sike"

Hi that's already been the case for many people but, anyways, no, that's not the exclusive prerequisite.

Andrew Brown @polibrown.bsky.social · 10d

oh geez well that settles it then. unless someone were to get another old guy who teaches similar subjects but has been doing it for a day longer, would that negate this?

And those people will, on many issues be morally superior to us.

it's still pretty wild that our government is mostly just pedophiles and varying degrees of sexual predators, and then marco rubio, who just sits on the couch and watches for some reason

This isn't a causal link - and cautioning against the use of medicinal treatments for fevers might do more harm than good, especially based off of correlative research.

Andrew Brown @polibrown.bsky.social · 23d

There have been studies that link Tylenol - and acetaminophen broadly - to developmental disorders, including autism. These studies are not of good quality and make hasty assumptions about mere correlation. It isn't as quacked as some would suggest - but how Trump approaches it, it very much is.

It's intriguing to me that his approval % remains, in aggregate, low 40s.

~10% of responders are actually willing to admit he's awful on all of these things, yet still approve?

Andrew Brown @polibrown.bsky.social · 29d

does she pay you for this? I’m genuinely confused

Andrew Brown @polibrown.bsky.social · 29d

Cool, so as long as you make up some bullshit “non zero” chance of a conspiracy, then the jokes and incitement for violence become acceptable?

“He didn’t laugh, he asked questions”

Here he is, laughing as he says someone would be an “amazing patriot” for bailing out the guy who did it

Charlie Kirk laughed his ass off at Nancy Pelosi’s husband getting bludgeoned by a psycho, and blamed the deaths of Minnesota lawmakers on… themselves

There’s so much animosity from the right regarding Universities, and they always promote completely fake universities, or entities that just call themselves education resources for some reason… but then, the right never uses these as substitutes for themselves or their kids! They always fail.

I have to think that the redistricting ploy can easily blow back on whomever ultimately is on the negative end of a political swing. It produces some slimmer margins, and if those flip, you’re handing your opponent safe districts, AND the swing districts, AND the districts you wanted to flip.
