I’m pretty sure the Crusades violates that whole “love your neighbor thing…”

@JV3MJD

Wait… he wants us to go and terrorize Muslims?

We ran against a rapist and a criminal. This is the kind of garbage being served up as news:

“No introspective messaging about losing not just the presidency but the Senate and the House. And apparently, not even any high-level discussion of a change in strategy.”

The change in strategy being what?

MORE rapey and MORE criming? Because unless we managed to get Jesus Christ, I’m puzzled as to what their strategy would be.

Or just be as bad as Republicans?

@hallmarc

They keep lying to us and it’s like people are saying, “Don’t lie to me!!! Here, have some more money!”

I just don’t get it.

@CinnamonGirlE

Never saw it, but you’re right. Seen her in other things, tho.

@Tee_Lynn @artildawn 👍

“‘The public interest is not served in any way by releasing confidential information upon which the court has never relied to make any decision in this case,’ attorneys for Dorworth wrote in an Oct. 16 filing.”

Uh, yes it is—we do not need a pedophile as AG. Most pedophiles are not allowed to be around children.

But this guy thinks Gaetz should get special treatment.

This is a good article about why authoritarianism is bad and what Trump will do—too bad it didn’t get the kind of notice it should have BEFORE the election.

“ There are five key areas that authoritarians want to control when they attempt to decapitate a democratic state, authoritarian expert and author Timothy Snyder writes: health, law, administration, defense and intelligence.”

@CinnamonGirlE

Same.

I don’t think it’s going to be as fun as the first season. Pretty dark so far (and that woman is just creepy AF!)

As partner said, “I see the next victim” 😝

@Sr0bi

It’s easier to prevent change than to implement it.

And Republicans are big on the status quo.

@artildawn

That’s before they shoot the intelligentsia.

I live rural and can pass for dumb.

@hallmarc

Yeah, and that’s the problem. Historically (the US included, Franklin printed up a shit ton of propaganda in France 🤷🏻‍♀️), when you cannot trust the news, those in control win.

China blocks and filters the internet. Trump has expressed interest. The First Amendment may be under attack under Trump.

I’m not sure HOW that is addressed safely.

Sure, we can tell people not to subscribe and look how they turned out.

I don’t know anymore. It’s like facts don’t matter.

I’ve the opening music to Bad Sisters going through my head on auto repeat.

@SeekWhatsRight

And the Republican Party can either go against Trump or work for the country.

Trump first. America last.

@MrGoat

It’s kind of a math thing.

@Bix

Well, isn’t that how authoritarians work? Come up with some bullshit about “this will make the country better” and when it doesn’t work, they murder people?

Like you can murder your way to a better tomorrow?

BlueAnon?

Can I go back to my original timeline? In this one the author is just phoning it in.

Biden tried to help those making low wages.

A Trump judge torpedoed it.

This is Trump’s plan—make you work for less money.

“A Texas federal judge has struck down a US Department of Labor rule that would have expanded overtime eligibility to four million new workers, kneecapping one of the Biden administration’s most substantial labor policies.”

But it’s democrats fault.

@TheAbbotTrithemius

My last question: Sanders said women would have to give up the right to abortion to give us a 50 state party.

Who else should give up the rights? Or is it just women?

I don’t want an answer, I just want you to think about what he said. If he is willing to take MY rights away just to get a 50 state party, how is that benefiting women?

I didn’t put those words in his mouth.

How can he be for women when he is willing to sacrifice their rights?

Later.
