Just today Elon was promoting some rando guy claiming to be a lifelong Democrat (though if you look through his feed, it was all RFK Jr nonsense), saying that he had to vote for Trump and one of the reasons... was that Trump wouldn't start new wars.

Last year, while out with a large group, one got crying drunk. Right before the actual tears they let their MAGA flag fly. That was surprising (for this group). When I asked why they said it was because Trump did not and will not start wars. This has been one of their talking points for a few years.

Oh yeah, the economy was doing awesome in 1932. Nobody Google that. I'm sure President History Guy has it right.

People try to overinterpret everything he does as 4D chess, whether for good (his fans) or for evil (his foes). It's much simpler. If he's saying or doing something stupid, it's because *he actually believes that stupid thing*. He's not some 4d-chess-playing genius pulling the strings of the world

Yes. "The future existence of your rapist's child outweighs your rights to control your own body" is not the subtext of what Vance is saying, that is *explicitly* what Vance is saying, it is the argument he is choosing to make his point. bsky.app/profile/heid...

amazing that the whole Trump arc is: people reject Trump->sorry, Electoral College->people reject Trump->Trump does coup->people point out Constitutional rule barring coup-doers from running again->every pundit in America: "tsk tsk it's not legitimate unless the people reject Trump"

For most Americans SCOTUS’ opinions are just headlines. Staying silent except to speak through something that a majority of Americans don’t read or understand serves to further erode the court’s credibility

As much as I understand that the 3 non-corrupt believe they must protect the institution, at what point does their silence become complicity in the destruction of that same institution. They know how terrible their “colleagues” are
