  • Again. Nobody is being dishonest here. This is brutal honesty about the reality of trump. He wasn’t properly punished for his “Beer Hall Putsch” last time, his follow-up is in a few months - hitler’s follow-up after not being properly punished was… significant. This is worth taking seriously.

    IMO (formed in our brief exchange) you’re operating with a pre-trump mindset from, frankly, a position of privilege. Women are literally dying, they are actively planning to round up people that they “feel” “seem” to be “illegals”. Democracy is threatened after 250 years of survival. Respectfully, WAKE THE FUCK UP, FRIEND.

    “They go low, we go high” WAS the noble, idealist position of the last election, notice they aren’t saying it now. Walz is now calling musk a “goofy dipshit”, because the other side isn’t listening to professional, courteous decorum - THEY ARE LITERALLY BANNING LITERATURE AND REWRITING HISTORY IN TEXTBOOKS. Again, your position is “nice” but seems fully informed by a privileged position, removed from direct threat from the things that are ACTUALLY happening today.

    You’re actively investing energy into laundering his horseshit here. You’re in the bottom right corner of the TV screen translating his accelerating fascist rhetoric into “calm down, everyone”. You should ask yourself why you’re doing those things.





  • Bezos likely wants this and was likely part of the quid pro quo for optics. Nothing will come of trump lawsuit (because nothing ever does) but sends the temporary signal, for a brief press moment, that they are somehow adversaries. WaPo is another media outlet captured by another billionaire (same as twitter, facebook, fox, new york post, wall street journal, Sinclair owned local news stations, oann and all those recent pretend online “channels” that routinely host pillow salesmen as political experts) and needs that context considered when reading any of its content.

    Bezos carries this shame for the rest of his hollow life. Anticipatory obedience, same as many gave to the nazis in lead up to the holocaust.





  • Look at what important word is missing from the headline, while being repeated multiple times in the first paragraph?

    Four times as many children have been diagnosed with autism in the past two decades amid improved awareness and screening and evolving definitions. A new study suggests diagnoses have increased at a faster clip among younger adults over the past decade.

    This study isn’t about autism “spiking”, this is about medical and social acceptance of the disorder as something that can be more openly discussed and acknowledged in ourselves and our family members.



  • Easier for you to struggle to wrap it up with a tidy bow and keep it simple like that. So you feel in control and not as scared. You seem like a “you know I could be president, I just don’t want to” sort of person.

    You overlook, casually, the endless complexity of this moment and a decision to forcefully take him into custody in what? some sort of extrajudicial action, I imagine you’re implying? No mention of the several trials looking to hold him accountable that were filed long before the election and delayed into limbo by trump and his gangs corrupt manipulation of the lower courts and SCOTUS. So now, if you “put him in jail” and say he’s “not allowed to run” he still wins, because that’s all his defective sycophants need to start slitting the throats of anyone they suspect is “a trans” on sight at the walmart.

    It’s not satisfying, but they are betting on the American people defeating him soundly enough in a democratic vote that they just can’t deny (inside, they’ll still cry fraud and all that, but inside they’ll know) what an unpopular loser he is. We’re fucked either way, at least for awhile, there will be "aftershocks"and drawn out challenge horseshit if he loses by large margins, maybe another flailing coup attempt, but it will pop some balloons if they have to see daddy take another L in his line of many Ls.



  • Ah, so yes, absolutely nothing in your response about substance of the point still. Didn’t post anything “wrong” here, you absolute child. You just have no interest in an adult conversation about the actual issue, all highlighted by your “You must be fun at parties”

    Now we all are ready for the impending “touch grass” coming from you… Just couldn’t resist showing your ass there at the end, huh?

    You’re the kind of person that responds, “hitler’s hat was brown though, idiot!”, when someone posts, “hitler was an inhuman, genocidal maniac and a cowardly piece of shit in a stupid beige hat!”. You’re working to distract and drain energy and avoiding the point that matters about hitler.







  • Respectfully, I don’t know where you are pulling that equivalence from? I don’t believe I said 1 in 5 would likely die from losing a pregnancy? The extreme of what’s on the table being discussed is that Texas wants to overtly punish people for not being perfect fetal vessels - denying needed medical care and charging for crimes if they accuse that a miscarriage was coerced as determine by unqualified, backward religiously driven opinion.

    As you raise the point though, that “would be deadly” mention is dependent on the unknown of what happens when you deny basic medical maintenance to “common” conditions. Many miscarriages require medical abortion, regardless of how “smooth” they progress, to clear any remnants of the fetus from the uterus and avoid complications and dangerous bleeding, infection, etc that could harm that person or their womb and decrease chances of successful implantation, pregnancy and birth in the future, if desired. It’s a horribly painful and emotional process, something that nobody enters into lightly and that often is required for willing parents to be having difficulty conceiving and dealing with that loss, on top of everything else mentioned.


  • You just acknowledging the blanket false claims, generalized “lies” and that framing is laundering their false premise. You conceding some sort of an equivalence and saying “so what, she lied” is further laundering their BS. If this wasn’t intentional, I’ll hear you out, but you need to then know that you’re being used as a puppet here then and unintentionally parroting what they’d like you to be saying. And, you should go add a note to your original post clarifying, if you’re sincere.

    I will ask you this, “What do you ACTUALLY know here?” You mentioned lies about fracking, sincerely, what are you referencing there? If you don’t have specifics at hand, and you have to now scramble to look something up and double down, time to admit, again even if unintentionally, you are laundering republican bs.

    Here I’ll help you:

    • Harris did not make her personal position on fracking clear during her only debate in 2020, the general election’s VP debate against then-VP Mike Pence (of “Hang Mike Pence” fame)

    • Harris never explicitly stated a personal position on fracking during that debate. She said that Biden, running for president with her supporting as VP, would not ban fracking if he was elected president.

    • During the 2020 VP debate, Harris said, “Joe Biden will not end fracking,” and “I will repeat, and the American people know, that Joe Biden will not ban fracking.”

    • Back before that VP debate, When Harris was actually running in the presidential primary on her own and could reference her own views on fracking directly, the furthest she came was “there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”

    There is no promise there. No lie told since. You can be in favor of something that isn’t politically feasible at a time, or feel you personally have more to learn. You can say something akin to, “that sounds like the right thing to do, but I’ll need to think about it more” that’s the measured stance of a thinking person.

    So what was the lie there? Or again, were you laundering the republican’s bs propaganda to try to normalize the idea that " EVERYBODY just lies, man… so trump ain’t so bad I guess…" - intentionally or unintentionally.
