@RupertLowe10 You... you do know this is just his staff frantically making him paper over what he said the day before, right? Right? Is that seriously your measure of "honourable"?

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@darrengrimes You could be highly concerned about both. It's not that difficult.

@Pam873661762475 @ryangrim I'm sorry. Are you kidding me right now?
Because of the Second Amendment.

@famousamosquito @VAGAMU @nytimes It's frankly astonishing you people ever had a revolution.

@famousamosquito @nytimes He was on the ground being beaten up by a bunch of masked federal agents.

@Dadpool416 @EcoFashionByBG @globeandmail You don't think this is a dangerous and divided world? Seriously?

@EcoFashionByBG @globeandmail Start by taking a look at his voting record.

@Ocuroj @adamnagourney And hopefully they won't.

@Shoot_The_Glass @Acyn If you think any of this is "post-Christian", you need to take another look. This is literally the retrograde Christian nationalism that Reagan sought to build via the Moral Majority.

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@EdTesticles @SonnyBunch Nope.

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@ctdonath @TheJFreakinC Of course I am. But I'm just a yahoo. I'm not an armed instrument of the state. Do you really want untrained reactive yahoos like me in charge of whether you make it home tonight? Seriously. Think about what you're rationalizing. No standards, no self-control, empowered to kill.

@atrupar Wow. That's quite the bottom line. Congratulations, Americans, you're now literally enemy civilians in a war zone, and you're paying for it.

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@ewarren The reason you don't have those things is that most Americans are too stupid to vote for govt that could make them happen. I don't envy you the battle, but best you at least identify it correctly.

@MikeBrannonX @RpsAgainstTrump Are you even listening to yourself? He's justified in KILLING her? Not shooting out the windshield or a tire but KILLING her? This is the kind of law enforcement you want? Death penalty on site? Wow.

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@MollyJongFast Honey, y'all are way past that point.

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@AlphaLiger @DHSgov Then show it.

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@demster70 Reminder... a wish for someone is supposed to be about them, not about you. If the best you can muster is a performative expression of how little you actually care about whether they celebrate Christmas, Jesus is appalled by you.

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@goddek Weird. So you're wishing someone 'Merry Christmas' but you don't actually even care if they celebrate Christmas? What a truly empty performative gesture.

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@C_3C_3 I mean, maybe Republicans just need to work harder. Pull up their bootstraps. Rise above the lower expectations they've allowed to limit their opportunities.
