Let us never forget that Never Trumpers aren’t actually Democrats, don’t share our values, and their only problem with Trump is he’s a flawed messenger. Don’t let these fake Dems turn the party into their version of the GOP.
You sure seem nice. That’s a pretty wild inferential and causal step: because someone wants a company to face consequences for bad behavior, that person personally and specifically hates your neighbour’s farm and wants it to fail. Cf “if you oppose the patriot act, you want the terrorists to win”?
Let’s go Belgium - 60,000 Canadians didn’t die for you for you to let the corrupt Americans win!
On a terrible day for American jurisprudence and the rule of law and "the words of laws and the Constitution have meaning," this is what Jon Ossoff is tweeting out. No plan, no "here's what I want to do," just "send money to save my seat." No explanation as to why we should save his seat.
The damage done by vanity, no-hope campaigns, right here. We could have had two Dems at the top and locked the MF-ing GOP out but Porter, Mahan, and Villaraigosa had to stoke their damn egos.
One of these is from the American government in 2025. The rest are from a different government in the 1930s.
The mockingbirds in our neighbourhood are fearless when it comes to chasing hawks away. (At least I think those are the birds we see). This one was harassed by two taking turns until finally it buggered off.
Also, I call my rep at least once a week, and I emailed her chief of staff this morning, so go fuck yourself with your smug knowledge-free shit.
It has always saddened me that the Dark Side has a much more photogenic library than the good guys on the fens.
I asked all of @chu.house.gov’s staffers if she had any response to this fascism and all of them had no idea.
Hey, @chu.house.gov - is this a good use of our taxpayer dollars and are you doing anything about it?
Two paid security and two LAPD cops just standing by the elevators (where there is cell signal) on their phones, getting paid to do nothing while @metrolosangeles.bsky.social cars have people smoking, peeing on the floors, playing loud music, and behaving badly. My fare money well spent.
Metro train cars smell, regularly have people smoking and harassing passengers, and have urine on the floor, and these three cops are just standing around watching YouTube videos and gossiping. What a great use of our money. I’ll bet they’re all on overtime too.
This is how Republicans really think women should dress on planes. Hearing these creeps and rapists and pedos and corrupt sacks of shit go on about standards and decency is stomach churning.
