absolutely: I won't even use the motherfucker's proper NAME

for me, he'll always be Stumpy or Mr Shitshispants

it short-circuits their narrative (think of Noem facing the inflatable) and they have absolutely no answer for it

also, it slows things down in the news cycle for them: it isn't the clean story they want, even on right wing news

okay, fair again: I'm the same in all respects

I'll almost vote for Satan instead of a Republican

ok, fair

are you voting in this election? and would you vote if he were the candidate in the general?

agreed: and "almost entirely" isn't doing very much work at all in this statement, because I mean just that

it's time for people to get jail terms, LONG ONES; I think Mr Shitshispants will die in office, but we can always dream: if he's alive in '29, he needs to be in a cell by '30

you don't think he's telling the truth in his platform statement? if so, what evidence of him being untruthful is there?

(this race—other than the ancient ex-gov running—just came on my radar very recently)

the important thing to communicate to people (imo) is that everything said by a GQP Quisling is a lie

everything: "even the and's and the the's"

The Magnificent Skinbag @magnificentskinbag.bsky.social · 24m

and people are following the example: in humble little Tulsa we have regular show-ups of inflated gyrators accepting the love of passing cars

people hate these fuckers (and wait until everyone gets wrecked paying for ACA care) and we've got the wave going our way, even with the press offside

no, I don’t need anything explained to me, and I appreciate your making the case

here's the thing: "Blackwater" in the 2005-2008 period is the war crimes unit; in 2018, it wasn't the same thing at all

he's not accused of impropriety or brutality while in the employ of the company (which, I believe, had renamed itself at this time), so show me why I shouldn't back him

He joined Blackwater.

okay, deleted the earlier post, and now know what this claim entails

it's not going to keep me from thinking he's the guy, because the claim isn't what it's said to be

great thread:

I know the temptation is to just scroll past this with a “not surprised” reaction, but you should read this if you have the emotional bandwidth to encounter horrifying slurs and violent sentiments, because there’s an important takeaway: extremism is often performed to reinforce an in-group’s bond.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
