You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

“This is how the second Trump administration operates: shoot first, smear later. Our loaded barf bag of a president has any number of subordinates ready to carry out this doctrine, but Vance is especially deserving of your ire. Because what the fuck are we doing here?”

"Yes, I'm biased. I'm biased toward truth. And facts."
Leavitt throws a fit after a reporter asks about ICE:
"Oh, okay, so you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion. You're a left-wing hack. You're not a reporter... You shouldn't even be sitting in that seat."

Q: Americans for generations have fought and died for democracy. Are you saying the president finds the idea of canceling elections funny?

Future Democrat presidents (a) will be capable of focusing on more than one thing at once, and (b) will have capable, competent staff that will be able to knock out the "knucklehead stuff" and keep it off the President's desk.
There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

This.
The issue is not that we don't talk to each other. It's that some people think that "talking" means getting to debate your existence, and that's abusive and controlling.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.
