@scarylawyerguy I hear you. But why is Platner being held to a standard while Paxton and his fans celebrate his actual crimes with no detriment to him?

You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story.
When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement.
It's the world's laziest status symbol.
The starter kit is always the same:
*A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago.
*A gun they'll never actually need.
*A Bible they've never actually read.
*And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their....
Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard?
FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody.
He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior!
And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man.
You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
And I write this so that hopefully they will recognize what they have done and what they are doing and snap out of it.....
I was born and raised in Appalachia ... These very people could be my relatives ..... but ... I .... got common sense from my granny ----- "question everything". VIA~Lee Murphy

To give you a sense of how far we're gone.

Joe Kernen asks Trump if he's willing to drop the DOJ probe into Powell in order to get Warsh through the Senate—just doing away with any artifice that this is some sort of independent inquiry.

And Trump, of course, defends the inquiry rather than say he isn't involved

[pumpkinandy @pumpkinandy]

@Scaramucci What misdeeds?

[pumpkinandy @pumpkinandy]

@ProjectLincoln @RepLuna Bresnahan in NEPA is very beatable.

[pumpkinandy @pumpkinandy]

@PaulJacobsMedia @TheRickWilson They need to stop the interference, not just complain after they allowed it.

[pumpkinandy @pumpkinandy]

@MichaelSteele Can Democrats get out ahead of this, publicize the issue, and make sure the election isn't stolen? Or will Chuck Schumer just wring his hands afterward and shrug?

#RHOBH what restaurant are they
at?

[pumpkinandy @pumpkinandy]

@farhip @washingtonpost Bezos loves Trump and continues his sycophancy by destroying his own newspaper. It's pathetic and sad.

@SenToddYoung @SenMikeLee Send you my appreciation from PA.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Grocery prices continue going up with minimal coverage in the media, which is odd considering it was THE defining issue for exactly four years and then poof, disappeared once Trump came back, and his big policy goal for 2026 is making straws plastic again. Great stuff, everyone!

[Sam Stein @samstein]

I'm losing the plot here. What did Iceland do? who called Trump daddy?

[pumpkinandy @pumpkinandy]

@Timodc So very afraid of the man he helped put into power.

[pumpkinandy @pumpkinandy]

@NikkiHaley Trump did this. Have the day you voted for, ma'am.

[DemCast @DemCastUSA]

Dr. Erica Chenoweth explains the 3.5% rule: when just 3.5% of a population engages in sustained, nonviolent protest, those movements have never failed. That’s the power of people choosing courage over chaos.

@ShawnFetta @JakeSherman I wouldn't think anything is automatically*safe* in this climate.
