"Do you think that Democrats should vote to allow the government to shut down in order to try to extract concessions from Trump on these matters?"

VP: "It won't be the Democrats who are shutting it down. It'll be the Republicans."

In fact, for the last decade or so, the wing of the Democratic Party that has been screaming at candidates to not take PAC money hasn't exactly won many primaries. Dems have lost some elections they otherwise should have won because their MAGA opponent took unlimited PAC money.

The thing about campaign finance disclosures is that sometimes they expose something hinky, but the fact that they take money from PACs isn't that.

This, friends, is a captured media goon who pretends she didn't know BEFORE the tattoo that Platner was the PsyOp.

You piece of shit.

Embed yourself with some of the legal, non-criminal people with brown skin who have been kidnapped and disappeared by lawless thugs, masked and unidentified.

You cowardly piece of shit.

Doug Osborne @seriousfunbs.bsky.social · 11h

Embedded. Like the occupied media during the Gulf war. While we murdered a million Iraqis. And no one dared report the facts. You are scum.

Doug Osborne @seriousfunbs.bsky.social · 14h

Read your posts, Cleetus. You are the definition of MAGA.

The most PROGRESSIVE president in history, Joe Biden, targeted more federal funds and programs to rural states than any other president.

I grew up in a rural (adjacent) space. I shall not return.

The differences between James Donald Bowman and James Michael Johnson are only in function, not style or content.

I was young and dumb once. I am no longer young. But I NEVER was a Nazi or Nazi-adjacent.

R. Eric VanNewkirk @sotsogm.bsky.social · 17h

But seriously: my guess is that he got the tat because he was young and dumb, not young and evil. But (a) running for office with it was disqualifyingly stupid, and (b) you need to own your dumb youthful mistakes: explain (not excuse), apologize, and talk about what you learned and will change.

If you want action on climate, vote, vote for Dems, and don't stop voting. I HOPE you understand this.

Being a Nazi apologist is a very -very- bad look.

If you drunkenly walk into a Croatian tattoo parlor and randomly pick a skull and bones tat off the wall, as Platner says he did, there's a better than 50% chance you're getting something nazi related

I was privileged to meet George Carlin a few times.

He would be the LAST person to tell you that he was "right, about everything." He would tell you that he was just trying to get you to think.

Have you started to understand that the people who started demonstrating against Democrats on October 8, 2023 were not working for the interests of the Palestinian people any more than the Trump Crime Family is?

Doug Osborne @seriousfunbs.bsky.social · 19h

And if you are lazily sitting on social media battering Jews, hiding behind the code of a small PAC, You Are MAGA.

Doug Osborne @seriousfunbs.bsky.social · 19h

Cute. Going on bsky and being a Nazi, Cath.

Polling is broken.

I demand that you actually vote in every election.
