"Mistakenly carrying ammo in their luggage" For fuck's sake, how fucking difficult is it not to make a mistake like that? Like maybe, don't put ammo in your luggage, ever, period, might be a smart policy.

Anybody else remember Barrs speech saying in effect that there was a death struggle against the forces of liberalism? This is no surprise. He’s been this unhinged for a long time.

@Raise_My_Eire @notcapnamerica Your data is out of date: factcheck.org/2024/02/bidens… Since President Joe Biden took office, the economy has added nearly 14.8 million jobs, 5.4 million more than the pre-pandemic peak in early 2020. Or you're lying.
@Raise_My_Eire Hi Brian! Here are several (but not all) the things Trump should have done to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic that he chose not to: 1. Earlier action: Experts argue that Trump downplayed the severity of the virus in the early stages, which delayed the implementation of crucial…
My wife has a conference in Puerto Vallarta in June. Just made the significant sacrifice and bought a ticket to go with her. This kind of sacrifice is how you make a marriage work.
What are the rewards for Biden making progress delivering for liberal interest groups? He pulled out of Afghanistan, ended the drone war, and has been making incremental progress canceling more and more student debt. If advocacy groups don’t reward him for this, what’s the point?
Wrong four times. Biden never cancelled the debt. He announced a policy and dragged his feet in administering it (50 days) which gave time for Republicans to halt the process. There was nothing to “uncancel.” And they aren’t “workarounds” they’re just tweaks to existing programs.
@drvolts Really does align with the right ironically enough. It looks good enough on a passing glance but the second that you look into ANY of it with any scrutiny the true horrors begin to be apparent.
@drvolts Is a horror film based on this image being made as I type this? If not, let's get that going.
This image is circulating on the right and, folks, I love it.
@RufusTSuperfly When I worked at gov. think tank (even I get surprised I worked there LOL), they gave everyone their birthday off, with pay.
@RufusTSuperfly I’m taking a goddam WEEK off for my birthday this year. Sorry to the losers and the haters out there.
@RufusTSuperfly I don't have icks, but if I did it would be people taking time off to go to family funerals. What are you, an undertaker? Gonna spend the day digging a big hole for granddad? Grow up.
@meteormajeure I take the day off every year, simply because it’s nice to not be stressed and annoyed out of your eyeballs while the nice people in your life are calling and texting to wish you a happy birthday
one of my Dad’s employees asked for their birthday off and my dad said “why? Did your wife get you a clown?” my Dad had to go to a sensitivity class and apologize to him in front of everyone.
Wishing I had done this actually, Stevie
The progressives use "oppose a genocide" like they used "support healthcare for all" as stupid hammers to cut of discussion of their ill-informed hatred of Democrats and fascist collaboration.
Sulzberger pouts more about Biden not doing his bidding
@TVHilton There is no engagement, sincere or otherwise with the "activists" in these protests b/c the local figures have not thought thru an endgame. They are just performing. (Act one leads to Act two, etc.) No campus can stop Bibi. This goes on forever.
MAGA platform: Everyone always lies Everyone cooks their books Everyone grabs you-know-what Everyone pays off porn stars Everyone commits election fraud Everyone does everything we lie about not doing
Feels crazy this may need to be said…but having been the WH comms director for Obama and press secretary for Biden…no…campaign and White House comms staff do not work with media to pay off potential sources of bad stories…ever. I am certain my predecessors of both parties…
@TVHilton Constant pressure + sincere engagement. The engagement did not begin as compromise, but was nevertheless based upon a much-discussed vision of process & progress.
@TVHilton The Vietnam War went on for another 7 years (and two Presidential elections) after the 1968 protests. Nixon capitalized on the chaos and violence with his successful (and racist) "law and order" campaigning. I was a protester and glad I did, but effective? No.
@TVHilton When movements had leaders, they also had strategies.

One of the reasons the civil rights movement was so successful is that they played an inside/outside game, criticizing the Kennedy and Johnson administrations while *also* meeting with administration officials to lobby them privately.
