I'm happy to get into discussions and debates with folks who genuinely are open to considering that they're wrong. I certainly can be wrong about things.
But when it's just personal attacks and/or a refusal to actually consider evidence? Block.
@WDE2011@fiago7 If you think that DC is a particularly crime ridden city then you’re ignoring crime stats and clearly have never spent much time living here.
Yes! I live here. Some tips from a local: instead of the Air & Space museum downtown, visit their Udvar Hazy annex nearby in Virginia. Visit the small but amazing National Cryptologic Museum in the Maryland suburbs. If you want to catch an improv comedy show in DC, reach out and I’ll get you tickets.
Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress.
It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress. The House of Representatives is not representative. One of the most important organs of our democracy is not democratic.
They say, "Oh, no. We're not manipulating the map to disempower black people. We're manipulating the map to disempower Democrats who happen to be black people.”
So, the time has come to make it impossible to manipulate the map for any reason and just have fair maps.
Good news: investor excitement could easily mean this makes you what feels like a profit in the short term. Bad news: Remember many people will want to sell to enjoy profits at that restricted time point = drop in value. Longer term = it’s a big speculation on a company that has never yet turned a profit.
It’s a not so fun NON fact. Bass Pro is a federally licensed firearms dealer, so buyers must complete ATF paperwork (Form 4473) and undergo a background check before the firearm is transferred. It’s nothing new. And monitoring bible purchases? If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.
@FreddyLA7 Welcome!!! FYI, when people say that it’s odd and a bit ominous for a Waffle House to be in any way closed, google “Waffle House Index” to see how historically it’s been used by emergency response groups to judge how bad a natural disaster is.
@WhiteHouse Let’s be clear: Trump openly and clearly used the threat of genocide. Has anyone explained to him and Hegseth that he couldn’t have made the case any easier for being convicted of war crimes?
@WhiteHouse I don’t think the astronauts are thrilled about having to play nice with a man who openly and clearly threatened the war crime of genocide.
HOLY SH*T:
Rep. Jayapal just asked Epstein survivors at the DOJ oversight hearing to raise their hand if Trump's DOJ has not met with them.
Every single victim raised their hand.
Pam Bondi has failed the American people and must resign immediately.
This is bad.
@elonmusk Here, let me translate that for you: "I'm a billionaire and I want to use the media platform I bought to suppress voter turnout."
Your alternative would be "I'm not smart and am unable to read or understand the evidence that there is no widespread voter fraud."
It is genuinely embarrassing to watch the wealthiest man in history pretend to be an underdog.
He owns the satellites and the social media. He also has the ear of the President.
Yet he spends every day posting like he is a helpless victim of a system he literally controls
