In my lifetime the GOP has:

Betrayed American hostages in Iran to win an election
Sold weapons to terrorists
Crashed the economy multiple times
Shut down the gov multiple times
Taken away women's right to bodily autonomy
Put children in debt for school lunches

And their voters did get over it

Cops are like a box of chocolates

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

She's a hateful bigot who distorts facts to fit her narrative and justify her biases

Would you have this same reaction over the "woman entrepreneur" Elizabeth Holmes? Or are you ok accepting that women are also capable of being horrible?

Dear AI pushers:

You cannot force me to use AI, no matter how many weird pop-ups and icons and auto-settings you generate in your apps, browsers, and search bars. I can work around you, and if it comes to it, I am happy with pen and paper.

Fuck off very kindly,
Courtney

Billionaires really need to hire some court jesters to make fun of them when they speak nonsense like this.

Not once in my life has the GOP been about "small government."

Along with "fiscal conservatism," it's one of the most persistent lies I've ever seen, a zombie idea that refuses to die

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 1d

Vought, we are told, is a pious man who never curses. Ok! Not a word about his Christian nationalism; instead, one of the most influential political platforms in the world chooses to perpetuate the number one fallacy about the modern Right: That this is all about “small government.”

If leftist protestors engage in violence, they will be terrifying Trump's narrative, not their own

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1d

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

Why are their lies always so outlandish?

If you want to claim protestors did some vandalism, sure, you could convince people. But "burn down cities?" Come the fuck on

I actually don't really care if AI is useful/interesting/good for some things in education actually - it is besides these things clearly a big problem already that maybe need listing yet again:

"FDR was not antifa" and "FDR was against fascism" are certainly words

I would also like to know who you think "constitute[s] antifa." While we're at it, who constitutes "ennui," or who constitutes "enervation?"
