People have got to stop framing existential threats to our democracy in terms of simple policy disagreements
Mike Johnson: "People have got to stop framing simple policy disagreements in terms of existential threats to our democracy. You can't call the other side fascists and enemies of the state and not understand that there are some deranged people in our society who will take that as cues to act."

Our Polish friends deserve much better from us.
Allies are aghast as US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker fails even to show up at the NATO emergency meeting following the incursion over Poland. Guess he was too busy measuring men's urinals again.

Do I know anyone who works at IG or knows someone who works at IG who can handle a fake account impersonating/harassing someone? Would appreciate a DM.

These fascist goons are mobilizing the whole power of the US government to persecute this one man and ruin his life, because he embarrassed them.
UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.
MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents
Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants?
J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?

One reason Americans have no idea how much their government benefits them is that it never actually shuts down when Congress can’t pass a budget. Thousands of essential personnel keep doing their jobs and not getting paid. No American has really experienced a true government shut down.

This is called a reframe.The focus is being shifted from the beliefs of the person in question to how they were exposed.
The absolutism make little sense if you think about it - what if a reporter exposes crimes? What’s a “bad dude”? The goal is for moral outrage to cloud rational thought.
