@nationalreview.bsky.social Y'all reporting about crimes committed by a man whose 20 yr sentence was commuted at 8 yrs by Biden when Trump commuted sentences of most Jan 6 convicted felons who did far worse & served far less time... so on brand. So much gaslighting. Standing athwart what, you say?

You supposedly 'smart' Conservatives have access to the facts of CC's depravity, & the fact that Italian immigrants chose CC to counteract hatred/violence they got for being non-WASPs taking jobs from 'real' Americans (today they are Latinos). And yet you spew this jingoistic propaganda. Pathetic.

cakth.bsky.social @cakth.bsky.social · 23d

The unequivocalanswer is: no. Even if Israel/Hamas keep the ceasefire terms & even if 47's admin had a part in crafting it, in no respect does that mitigate the lack of peace he has caused across the world via tariffs/shuttering USAid, etc., & in the US, institgating unrest to justify force. Gross.

If common sense were the current norm, neither Trump nor Hegseth would be in govt & NR's purported Judeo-Christian, pro-life Conservatives wouldn't give ANY support to a man who suggests ignoring the rules of engagement, see: blowing up Venezualan boats; or human rights: see ICE's brutality, daily.

One @nationalreview.bsky.social writer mentioned the MI rampage today, & it's not even on their site landing page now. Still 1 more article than they had for Rep Hortman's assassination though. Nothing yet about NC/other mass shootings this weekend. But at least 1 new Kirk piece. Deafening silence.

cakth.bsky.social @cakth.bsky.social · Sep 24

Forgiven? You mean praised. Praise is what should be offered for ignoring any "health" advice from RJK Jr, DT, or anyone else in his administration. Even, sadly, Dr. Oz. If you truly understood national security, you'd be URGING citizens to ignore them. On really everything they advise or support.

cakth.bsky.social @cakth.bsky.social · Sep 23

Remember when Rs nominated DT & he asked Putin to release files on HRC, as one example? And he won & D's launched investigations on credible evidence, & the man's own staff warned us how unlawful he was? It's D's fault? Y'all elected the guy whose business survived via illegality & lawfare. Own it.

ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after remarks about Charlie Kirk | CNN Business

Disney’s ABC is taking Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show off the air indefinitely amid a controversy over his recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer.

Charlie Kirk was a reason I feared & prayed for the US's future. And his death is yet another entry in the heartbreaking ledger of gun murders in a nation with insufficient gun laws & a grotesque right-wing gun culture. HIS radicalized lack of grief for gun victims was chilling. He needed prayers.

cakth.bsky.social @cakth.bsky.social · Sep 10

@nationalreview.bsky.social how do you have articles (rightly) decrying Kirk's murder when you had 0 about the MN Rep/Sen shootings or the ambush murders of ID firefighters? How does Zarutska's murder justify more outcry than Rep Hortman's? You are no more moral than any of the killers. Nor was CK.

cakth.bsky.social @cakth.bsky.social · Sep 10

I can simultaneously not mourn Charlie Kirk as a man while I mourn the neverending violence & death wrought by guns. I cannot, however, fail to point out how pols & orgs like @nationalreview.bsky.social will cover this. After no articles about Hortman/Hoffman or the Idaho firefighter ambush.

There was no harmful CoVid vaccine (or mask) overreach. Thousands saved & thousands more had less serious disease course. Seat belts also provide differential protection based on the severity of the wreck & the people in it. Do you deny efficacy of seat belt laws too? Public health is natl security.

cakth.bsky.social @cakth.bsky.social · Sep 3

7/11 paragraphs on CDC's response to CoVid. A response burdened by the same right-wing anti-science attitudes that elevated RFK Jr. Barely 4 paragraphs on how he is now destroying agencies crucial to public health & thus natl security. CDC vs CoVid saved lives. RFK Jr. vs science will only kill.

It was an evil act. Know what else was an evil act in Minneapolis? The assassinations/attempted assassinations of state reps & their spouses. About which nary one @nationalreview.bsky.social full article appeared, much less an editorial. Basically ditto for the ambush of firemen in ID. Pro-life? 🙄

cakth.bsky.social @cakth.bsky.social · Aug 29

Republicans' dismissive attitude towards comprehension of why a good # of US citizens, praying Christians (and other faiths) or not, are sick of R's 'thoughts and prayers' response to catastrophes, gun-related or not, is facile and insulting to victims.

The fact that their excerpt starts: "agents are simply doing their job" Uhm, so were the Gestapo. They give them a pass? Police violently enforcing Jim Crow (the law of the land then)? Soldiers at the My Lai massacre? Can they possibly be this obtuse or oblivious? My God. The willful depravity.

National Review @nationalreview.bsky.social · Aug 6

ICE Is No Gestapo

Agents are simply doing their job, which is a function of the legitimate power of the federal government to regulate immigration and to expel those with no legal right to live or work in this country.

Conservatives telling us you don't care about the people who receive vital services CPB stations provide in, for example, the rural parts of the US. The quiet part out loud. They won't perhaps know what they've got until it's gone. Fox News et al will not fill the gap of critical information. Gross.

Tell us you don't understand the role PBS/NPR has in rural communities without telling us you don't understand the role PBS/NPR has in rural communities. How many ways can y'all show how little you care for your fellow citizens? Everything you support hurts rural Americans. For generations to come.

@nationalreview.bsky.social oh look. NR finally published an article about the MN assassinations now that your commenters can say that his claims that Walz made him do it prove it isn't a right-wing motivated murder. 🙄😒 'Scottahoy' went right there. Still await your condemnation of the ID killer.

cakth.bsky.social @cakth.bsky.social · Jul 15

You embarrass yourself by claiming Biden was soft on crime as long as the man who pardoned the violent 1/6 traitors is in office. Not to mention his own flirtations with requesting and condoning violence. Just stop.

Aha. NR editors re: the horrific TX tragedy. Still await the editorials re: the right wing zealots' horrific violence against ID firemen & MN legislators/their families. Anti-ICE sentiment is out of hand? Do tell. Check the conditions in FL/CECOT & reflect on which side has more pro-life morality.

cakth.bsky.social @cakth.bsky.social · Jul 3

The murder of the R's summer intern is tragic. Just like the murders of the Israeli staffers & the murders of 2 ID firemen & a MN Rep/her husband. 3rd/4th murdered by right wing men. And @nationalreview.bsky.social covered DC, but not ID & barely MN. "Leftist" MSM covered all. NR is "pro-life." 🙄😒🤢

@esotericcd.bsky.social trying to figure how, even if someone likes mass detention/deportation of UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS (no human is illegal), they're able to ignore the sadism displayed by 47 et al regarding the swamp/alligators & praise the concentration camp. What kind of person does that?
