This is from second election. Tom said 18 years ago, referring to the election for President Obama's first term, not second.

And you would win that bet! I'll be one of the monitors. Everyone eligible to vote has the right to do so in a safe place.

Even with help it's so difficult. I saw this years ago and it has never left me.

That's a rough first step out the gate in a case that's about the importance of being very careful when filling out paperwork.

This country is allowed to have tariffs. You just have to convince Congress that they're a good idea.

The President can hold tariff powers instead of Congress, if you can convince voters to amend the Constitution.

If you can't convince anyone of anything, rethink your ideas.

Trump: "If this country is not allowed to have tariffs, if this country is not allowed to have the president negotiate on behalf of it w/tariffs, we are put in a position where we're gonna be a 3rd world country. We can't let that happen. I think it's the most important case that we are gonna have"

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

Not a fan of his or this take, take as not using insurance = no claims = lower costs. However, as a volunteer at a no cost tax preparation site, there are a high percentage of clients that don't know if they have insurance and it turns out they are covered by ACA.

/4 Is it offensive? Sure. Is it bigoted? Of course. Keep pointing that out. But also, keep pointing out that which they can’t stand to hear — it’s deeply weird. Vance, like the rest of the Curtis Yarvin gang, are deeply weird subnormals, not crafted to interact well with normal humans.

Did he not sign those bills? Pronouns, let's chat in 30 years when after a lifetime of using language a certain way, no matter how well meaning, your language muscle memory makes mistakes. We won't be the young ones forever. But, go ahead with the strategy of alienating people who could be allies.

sarahswyms.bsky.social @sarahswyms.bsky.social · Sep 28

You incorrectly assumed my position. I don't understand why some trans people and advocates sell out trans people by alienating and discarding those that are most, not all the way, in their own advocacy. There's a group of rulers who are actively doing their best to fully disappear trans people.

I believe part of it is perception, and there's tons overcome. I don't understand the focus on sports when so much is at stake. It gives them something to focus on. It's not fair, but there are a lot of reasons sports dreams are crushed, not being able to afford travel teams the most common.

I agree, but I don't think he's transphobic. I don't understand the campaign against him on this, especially when he's one of the few voices standing in the way of what Trump, S. Miller and others want to do.

Admitted on a podcast, he gets the hesitation on sports, and pronouns are hard, so ignore:

It was an interesting discussion. The reactions on here and now every time Ezra is mentioned are silly. I actually believe most people read only the headli e. If we throw people we agree with, what 80% - 90% of the time, because of a bad take, we are gonna be mostly alone.

I wish there was a down vote for this. The discussion is about a young man, there's no need to interject a comment like this.
