Very Online Leftists make good arguments and are rational thinkers who know how to advance their causes at the expense of Republicans.

If you have heard how progressives actually talk you will know talking like this is impossible.

progressive candidates really do just need to do this move, over and over again, few edits as possible

sadly, easier to do now than it has been in recent years

And like this is very tonally strange for Trump. Whiny, almost.

Trump v1 would be saying things about "looking at that very strongly" and making it clear he might do it, etc.

Trump suggests he may get even more involved in prosecuting his political foes: "What we're doing is nothing. I don't have to leave it up to them. But I choose to at this moment at least."

Republicans are hyper-fixated on it for some reason, this is new and newsworthy.

I think people keep misinterpreting the no kings protests as like the final step of what that milieu is doing instead of being a constant signal of the number of people willing to throw away 3 hours of their weekend to attend some speeches.

Official ICE government account
June 6, 2025:
"To call us 'Nazis' - to compare us to one of the worst groups in history - is disgusting and just outright wrong.
"What the men and women of ICE are doing in Massachusetts and all over this country is making communities safer."

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

Another win for comic books and horror movies that always depicted Nazis as perverted occult BDSM freaks trying to find where the Jews hid the immortal werewolf amulet.

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 1d

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

I think this misses the forest for the trees. If Republicans being literal Nazis was a self-censoring fact at this point then why are this convo still in the backchannels of the internet? Also, somebody thought this shit was optically damaging enough to leak to the press.

Sam @samd.bsky.social · 1d

“many prominent young republicans are actual Nazis” is a self-censoring fact at this point

normie swing voters will literally refuse to believe it and the media refuses to report it because it would call everything else they’ve done into question

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 1d

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 1d

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

Oh, also, I was just following orders is not valid legal theory.

Mike Black @mikeblack114.bsky.social · 1d

The servicemembers who are conducting these strikes need to be told, explicitly, by Dems in Congress that they have criminal liability, because they do

Congressman Don Beyer @beyer.house.gov · 1d

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes.

Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

Ah yes, another poast that blames Dems for Republican behaviors. You know what really empowers these chucklefucks Mr. Cosmos? It is when useful idiots like you use Republican behavior to attack and weaken the Democratic Party and thus enabling those literal Nazis. Fuck off with you!

Patrick Cosmos @veryimportant.lawyer · 1d

everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun

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.
