@LiberalLibrarian I've been to that monument (the real one, without the chair).
Sadly the critics were right. It's... not great.
@LiberalLibrarian I have been having very weird and persistent pain in several fingers - lately even more fingers - for months. I am not pleased, but it seems unlikely any cause can be pinpointed other than being on the wrong side of 50.
@LiberalLibrarian But does she know the question?
@LiberalLibrarian Unless they're eaten en route.
@DavidSalo If he somehow were, 80% of Rs would believe Biden sent it using the Liberal Weather Machine.
After his insane World Cup rant, how long until #Trump hysterically declares that there were NO tornadoes in DC when HE was there, and they're only happening now because Biden made the country weak through WOKE!!! ?
@LiberalLibrarian Sure. Go for it.
@LiberalLibrarian Maybe it finally crossed what passes for his mind that backing TFG on everything, hailing him as a martyred saint and flawless R hero, and then saying "but vote for me instead of him" doesn't actually work.
@TwiHusband @LiberalLibrarian They will kill people. They will not have any opportunity to kill enough to change the demographics.
Stochastic terrorism. That's them.
@TwiHusband @LiberalLibrarian They're not going to be able to do that either, but yes, they're going to do a lot of damage, whipped on by Fox for its own profit.
@TwiHusband @LiberalLibrarian The majority is not going to tolerate dictatorship. Look at what's happening in Israel, which is significantly more right wing than the US majority.
The question isn't whether the US becomes a dictatorship. It's how much damage is done before the wannabe dictators are defeated.
@LiberalLibrarian Pretty run of the mill provocation. They've both been doing this for years. Doing it together is a bigger message. But of course China is playing Putin by letting him think he's a partner rather than a vassal.
@LiberalLibrarian What, you didn't think Mexican and Sikh were indistinguishable?
@LiberalLibrarian He also declared that TFG will dominate the Black vote in '24 by running on "The judicial system is broken for me just like it is for you, and I'll fix it for all of us!"
@LiberalLibrarian Lindsey Lickspittle, on the other hand...
@LiberalLibrarian For now, anyway.
@AmserJ @LiberalLibrarian He presumably thinks the Cape will help him in the R primary. But to find the Rs in MA, you have to get past everyone else.
@LiberalLibrarian It was exceptionally badly timed given that it coincided with the latest indictment.
Center-left academic type. Generally pissed about the state of the world but I know none of our endless crises are actually new because I'm a historian.
