Lots of people here on moral high horses telling us how we should talk and feel about the war in Ukraine. Essentially nobody wanted war, and we’re handling it how we can. Some of us have family directly affected. You can tell me how to feel about it, but I can tell you to GFY.
@MattGriscom@JamieMetzl You think Democrats are upset with billionairesike Elon who wield outsized influence simply because they are financially successful? 😒
@JamieMetzl Do you think it’s bad that most Democrats now think Israel is committing a genocide, and therefore you think this is bigotry? If so, maybe examine your definition of bigotry. If it’s something else, what is it you are seeing?
@sharp_stick_eye@JamieMetzl A country is only as good as it is in relation to how it treats its people. Republicans often love the country like a four year old loves their mommy.
The NYT story on Platner is out, and it does not remotely live up to the hype from Senate Republican operatives on here.
Neither here nor there, but to hear a lifelong Republican operative -- who co-hosted for years a popular DC podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel -- complain about a Democrat being too into assault weapons and axes is so disorienting.
I thought Dems were the snowflakes and Republicans were the rugged ones?
(Side note: when else should you sharpen an ax if not while watching TV?)
@cenkuygur@Acyn MTG is LITERALLY the "Jewish Space Lasers" lady, Cenk... That's fine that she's on "our side" on this one thing, but let's not be under any illusions about who she is.
the va supreme court denied the results of the redistricting referendum. scotus gutted the voting rights act and tennessee carved up the last dem district destroying black voter power in the state.

SCALISE: We've delivered. People will remember that two years ago, we were paying almost $6 a gallon for gas. Right now it's in the $3s
KERNEN: When were we paying $6?
SCALISE: Two and a half years ago
KERNEN: That wasn't the average price
SCALISE: We are lowering inflation
KERNEN: We are actually above where we were then. Two years ago the average was $3.65.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.
And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.
So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA I definitely didn't expect so many fascism enjoyers on this thread. Hopefully Orban will get dumped like the useless meatball that he is.
Ana Kasparian's desperate clout chasing of AOC becomes even more pathetic when you realize Ana's attacking AOC for voting "present" FIVE YEARS AGO.
On a bill that passed 420-9.
Ana. Dude. Give it up. Go on a meditation retreat or something. You're embarrassing at this point.
