@TheTadDaley@cwebbonline He’s blaming them because they bear responsibility. They’re grown ups and they voted wrong or didn’t show up at all. I think she focused on the issues that she had solid reason to believe would sway people. I don’t think she lost because of that.
@mgurri Violent ruffians like Schiff will savagely ask pointed questions of nominees, while responsible centrist like Mitch McConnell will, in fair and balanced fashion, give Trump 90% of what he wants.
@mgurri Also I think the violent left (when was the last time antifa actually broke a window? how many dead from those pussy hats?) will be oddly quiet, and we'll just have peaceful J6er type's yelling insults at at the "foreign" looking, or killing them, same as back in 2017.
@mgurri Aside from deporting legal immigrants as well as illegal ones, the biggest ones, because of his biggest supporters, will be medical and religious. Now that we're going to be "free" again in your view, for example we won't be allowed to use mifepristone.
@mgurri Next, the head of the "we just want to leave people alone" will begin drafting a series of executive orders to maximally crack down on the lives and businesses of people he and his supporters don't approve of. Some for vengeance, like his tax policies last time, some direct.
@mgurri I suspect FDA chief RFK Jr., Fed chief Musk, and so on will find out quick. Not sure how Sec Def Gabbard's going to do. Or is she UN Ambassador?
@mgurri The next phase, which is probably good, is when Trump's new friends find out that, to him, a person not in his genetic line is the moral equivalent of a condom, to be used once. It's a good thing because it means some of the worst get booted fast.
@mgurri After that, a clown car of strange people will line up for cabinet posts. Industry lobbyist elitist types, and nightmare populist right wingers, and a smattering of Opus Dei types, all of whom want to control people.
@mgurri The next phase is Trump will bleat about healing until one person says something mean, then he'll be back to cleansing the country from the enemy within in his rhetoric.
@mgurri Idiot. Your first clue: Harris, a bomb-tossing antifa in your view I guess, will quietly concede less than 24 hours after the election. Same as Hillary. Not like your peaceful, orderly, norm-respecting professional who tried to sack the capitol when he lost.
@snowball1926 So, yeah, yall had lots and lots of sex before marriage and you damn well needed all those abortion clinics. Yall just didn't have them. So many of you died. Just not you individually, so I guess all those other actually died-young people don't matter.
@snowball1926 Keep in mind that you and the people like you who want to end abortion access back then were quite insistent on banning contraception too, so that was only if you could get a hold of a condom.
@opinonhaver It has a serious weakness, especially if acquisition coincides with use. If you routinely use atm and then stop cold, it begs an explanation. If the date you stop cold is also the date of a major drug bust or cash sale or cash paid gig, it goes a long way as evidence
@mgurri@bariweiss Loved your book. I don't want to shoot your old gray head. I want someone to gently clean it and oil the parts, like an old typewriters refurbished in a YouTube video. To look at American politics and see an urge to control only on one side? You're smarter than that.
@Kurt_Steiner These comments remind me of a basic truth of US politics. GOPers don’t respect military service. They boost Republicans and slam Dems. Like everything else, a record of service is just ammo to them. Stolen valor only matters if it’s a Dem; missing limbs only count for the GOP
@TheTadDaley@Plant_Treaty@FARMUSA @COP16Colombia Nope. There are many rooms. (Wasn’t in any today because I have a cold). But we did spend lots of time with Aura Vasquez, who says hello. She’s from Cali originally and is a very active part of the delegation.
