@DavidAFrench@SeanTrende So, you are OK with spoils system? The MSPB is now going to be unable to protect federal employees as everyone can now be fired for political reasons.
Yeah, I’d fire this person immediately.
“One thing about Bosnia, I could not point to where it is on a map. I don’t know the first thing about Bosnia and I don’t want to know,” says this reporter, bragging about her ignorance while insulting an entire nation and its team.
@shannonrwatts@benryanwriter So what the FUCK are they unhappy with? If anything, he goes farther where I would go with the “genocide” language. And they are still mad? I swear, some people are such fucking morons or act in bad faith, or both.
AOC on Vance/Watergate: I think what it reveals more is about what JD Vance’s vision for America is, is that he wants more of the same. He doesn't want anything to change in this country. He wants to continue the reality that corruption is banal, normal. And he loves the way that the country is being governed right now. He loves that you can start an illegal war and make tons of people rich, send Americans into harm's way, and that it'll barely be a blip in on people's radar. He loves that we can engage in record levels of corruption and get away with it. And so in that statement, it's less about the acknowledgment of the reality, but it's that his vision for the future is exactly the same, and that your life won't change if so long as he's in charge.
AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. And they have to constantly churn out what they want people to be afraid of—to be afraid of socialists, to be afraid of immigrants, to be afraid of women. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you.
And that is the large corporations that are engaged in profiteering and jacking up your prices for no good reason. It’s going to be this administration that is engaged in record levels of swindling, theft, tariffs, and attacks on your housing.
And so this is kind of their new thing of the day. But I think that people are feared out. I think everyone’s nerves are shot from constantly being taught and told what country, person, or community to be afraid of. And they just want a solution. They want their groceries to be more affordable. They want to figure out how we’re going to get health care. They want our housing to get under control.
And I think that we’re ready for an affirmative vision, and we’re ready for an affirmative agenda.
@shannonrwatts Seems like common sense, right? :) I think many men wrongly assume that because they generally like to see topless/naked women, it works the same way with women.
@amandacarpenter It is also such a fucked up view of his job. I thought Congress’s role was to be a separate branch of government, and not Trump’s defenders.
