Snake Oil Politics

[Dennis Porter @Dennis_Porter_]

What is going on in Texas? The current Texas Agriculture Commissioner said he voted for a Democrat for the first time in his life and that Abbott “needs to go”. This is absolutely wild.

Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions—

Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release

Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back.

Collins: So you did give something.

Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN.

Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release?

Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.

@guychristensen_ Get fucked grifter

Also in today's Morning Jolt, if you look at the horrific, sordid story of Amy Acton's childhood and conclude, “It would be a good idea to make an attack ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother denouncing her,” please see a therapist or perhaps a priest for an exorcism.

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

JD is saying Amy Acton was not raped as a little girl. Even though there are court documents reviewed by *National Review* that confirm details of her story. Even though Acton’s brother backs her story. Vance has a daughter. But like Bernie Moreno, Vance is such a sycophant that he can’t even be a father first for two minutes. It’s always politics and always the most vile politics. Just an abject failure of a man and a father.

Unearthed footage of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood abuse:

"She has no vision other than to complain about what someone else did to her"

@Shartapus @LauraRbnsn @magi_jay 2. someone’s attention when someone constantly moves the goal post. In this case, it started as “That’s crazy, how have we not heard of this?” To “Well there were articles of him skipping town and court documents, but he was never convicted so it’s a nothing burger.”

@Shartapus @LauraRbnsn @magi_jay 1. 28 here about to get married. Good job on raising your sons right. I hope to do the same. I think it will change overtime. People first need to start seeing what it means when someone is sexist or racist. No one will come out and say it but it should catch

[Snake Oil Politics @TheoryWitchy]

@greendragonhq Oh darn, sounds similar to what happened with Obama.

@HankDesmondPhD Edging to him was a pretty good one

@DFloowandr98143 Nib was originally created to stop degenerate combo decks like Danger Thunder, and in turn it was less punishing to pure Thunder. When nib can work like that, it’s healthy in the format.

[Snake Oil Politics @TheoryWitchy]

@GrandMagusYGO Nib is meant to punish super degen combo decks. It’s why Danger Thunder became the worse varriant over pure. You get punished by cards like Nibiru for making a super degenerate board. It being impactful is a good thing.

@mirrorlogician @_iamblakeley Ah yes, a hypothetical timeline vs how often have you said that it doesn’t make a difference to vote for Harris?

[Abdul el-Sayed Stan Account @Weasel9100]

So Wedgewood’s fake poll might’ve been the final blow that pushed a very real candidate out of a very important Senate race. I was already backing Abdul at this point but we can’t have real candidates getting pushed out of races for entirely fake reasons like this.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Oh?

[Tim @trouble_man90]

Not only were they selling fake polls, they were also betting on their own fake polls. Wow

[Snake Oil Politics @TheoryWitchy]

Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a really big deal that this could negatively affect midterms. Oh right, you don’t care.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Neera could wait until after the election to call the primary rigged but nah, she’s just gonna do that now.

[Snake Oil Politics @TheoryWitchy]

@WedgewoodPolls “You clearly shared fake news so this is entirely on you.” Yeah okay bud.

[Snake Oil Politics @TheoryWitchy]

@WhickTv @neeratanden These people actually need to be taken to court big time and fast.
