@CalltoActivism NO! He absolutely means it. He’s a tool. But he won’t have a choice. Doesn’t have a clue. Can’t see farther than his weenie. The Koch affiliates own the rest of his shorts.
Vote all their GOP cronies out.
@BlackKnight10k Biden team……..Biden team…?
They’re not listening.
Lost in a circle jerk
Like jelly fish adrift and unconcerned with Joe’s or any other’s life

@mswmediapods But he likely doesn’t know anything about it.
He doesn’t read.
It’s the Program of the Koch networks. I doubt a Koch would pickup if the menace called.
But he is their convenient stooge. Unsought but giddily hooked.
The war is on.
People get ready….
It’s not clear yet that the feckless Democratic Party hacks haven’t already beached their party. But if there’s any hope left it will require a broad popular understanding of the piece here linked.

@cgillespie62@casunprincess@emptywheel No argument here. At the same time, if the gop wants to know what Hunter was about, we should cooperate and haul up the big fish in that game and be unsurprised when the titans of Wall Street are up against the wall. And Hunter will fade from sight.
@cgillespie62@casunprincess@emptywheel “Took in!” Is that, handled? Or earned?
In either case that’s peanuts in the oligarchs money laundering business.
Hunter and associates were the littlest dudes in the helter skelter grab of the Ukrainian and Russian de-sovietization scheme.
@mark_esque @brhodes Ok. Point three. Stress staff quality but only after purging the gaggle of “smartest-guys-in-the-room” that didn’t prepare him even to look at the camera.
Oh FFS. Just stop. False equivalency bullshit will land America with other failed democracies overtaken by authoritarian, Christo-fascists. That's not an exaggeration. Biden and Trump are not two versions of the same old guy. Trump is a demented strongman. Full stop. Wake TF up.
@JimHansonDC Was a time, almost a tradition, judges offered juvenile offenders a choice of jail or enlistment.
Diploma or GED wasn’t even a consideration.
Little or no evidence that “kiddie-kruisers” fared any worse than their credentialed mates.

.@RepJasmine responds to @RepNancyMace's 'white privilege' comment: "I can't get over the gentle lady from South Carolina talking about white privilege. It was a spit in the face, at last of mine, as a black woman, for you to talk about what white privilege looks like."
It’s not like you don’t know all of this already but thanks to @RBReich for the cheat sheet. Compared to the Neo-liberal-trump coup, the Iliad,etc. is a first grade reader.
Trump ordered a crowd he knew was armed to march on the Capitol & "fight like hell." 7 people died in & after the attack. 114 Capitol Police were injured.
He watched the violence on TV but did nothing to stop it for hours.
That day was just one part of his coup attempt. 🧵1/14
Okay now! Fast forward to the twenties… centuries that is, where Chief Executive is understood to mean something like Responsible, or as Harry Truman would have it: The Buck Stops Here.
...To resist the Sirens, Odysseus forced his crew to lash him to the mast because the “high, thrilling song of the Sirens will transfix him.” Short of lashing a president to the Oval Office chair, the question is when the lure of lawyers can lead to actual prison time. For as Homer warned, “those creatures…spellbind any man alive.”
