@catturd2 Sure. And then they’ll stop paying taxes to the federal government. Good luck paying for schools and roads in Louisiana, Alabama and West Virginia without money from NY.
@matthewdmarsden@Brandon_Fuego I have to give you credit. It must be so difficult carrying water for this venal, vulgar, incompetent clown. Yet, you seem to be up to the task. Good for you! I hope it pays off and you get your reward for selling out your country.
@CoopersMom24@SteveGuest@AGHamilton29 One, if you’re going to ridicule me, at least spell my name correctly. Two, people resort to name calling when there’s no argument. Remember that when you’re trying to think of ways to validate Trump’s capitulation.
@nfergus A better question is when and how could this be called a victory? When no pre-war objectives have been met? The default position is failure until we see otherwise. What evidence is there that leads Niall to believe she should be patient and suspend any judgement?
@JustJenRX People are looking for any excuse to be angry and offended. This is the result of the politics of resentment overriding any sense of civility and common obligation. Let the man care for his young daughters and settle down.
@AGHamilton29 What about letting working class people spend more of their capital and that making America more prosperous? Why do Republicans think spending by the wealthy is more important?
@mattyglesias Vote for Platner if you must. What concerns me is the adoption of the MAGA playbook. Talk of “democrat establishment” and attacks on Democrats who dare to say we should ask questions. This is how Trump purged principled conservatives from the GOP. I don’t want a liberal MAGA.
@scrubfish11@Acyn Why aren’t Democrats sticking to their principles, then, and rejecting Platner? Instead you are giving the MAGA excuse “Well, the other guy did worse.” Standards are standards and principles are principles, aren’t they? Why not apply them when it’s your guy, too?
@CaptainMcKlide@Acyn And yet you are the same people who were apoplectic after Elon Musk’s supposed “Nazi” salute during a speech ( which clearly wasn’t). Double standard. Fascinating how you’re willing to be so forgiving and equitable when it’s your guy.
@AlexGran1978@Poundstone12@Acyn@adammocklerr You actually believe that?!?!? You are pretty gullible. Did you believe Trump when he said he didn’t know fraudster crypto executive Changpeng Zhao after he pardoned him?
@BoldProgressive@Acyn Liberal MAGA. The Platner team is using every Trump trick. The media is against us! The establishment is against us! The swamp is against us! No mention of the credible accusations that he’s a misogynist bully with a Nazi tattoo.
@realBrandonGill Much of our “unique culture” that you propose to defend is a product of mass immigration. Reread history from the 1860s through the 1930s. It is one source of our strength. Now Republicans want to culturally balkanize America with anti-immigrant bigotry to rule more easily.
@twinsdaily This change won’t make much of a difference. The pool of players will stay the same, only they’ll cost more. Since every team is bidding in the same players, salaries of players will go up and teams like the Twins will pay more for a similar roster.
