Even this corrupt SCOTUS wouldn't approve of this.

Yaaaasss. I can deadlift my own body weight. I can do unassisted pullups. I have never thought, oh I wish I was less strong.

1000 times yes to this.

My eyes rolled so far back in my head they're inspecting my eye sockets. That idiot is lucky to be working in the stupidest of times.

😆 if he were a person who engages self-reflection maybe. He's not that person though. His team might be having these thoughts.

Yes. I am sure he's going to do another 10 things that I vehemently disagree with. But this thing is respectable.

Exactly 💯

The results.

Right? Also my first thought. Oh is it? Are we all happy we're paying more for things, and that that money is going to ice prisons?

What record? 🤣

Same! Now I am convinced that a Republican candidate could urinate on the cross, beat some nuns with a lead pipe, eat live infants on TV, dump half the populations of several cities into a wood chipper, and they would say he's going to bring prices down so they'll vote for him.

This.

Yes. My parents in fact called me this when I told them I didn't support the wars at the time. "WHY DO YOU HATE THE TROOPS" 🙄

They memory holed their support for those wars tho. So that lack of reflection has them voting for Trump.

Yaaasss.

Are we in a representative democracy? If so wouldn't we expect some variance among candidates running to represent different constituents?

Yep. This. I was never about prices. Half the folks who use this excuse aren't even honest with themselves, and have no idea they're racist. The other half are white supremacists.

Here here. I am sick of Mamdani's campaign dominating the news in general. I think he's great and I am happy for NY. But most of us don't live in NY.

That is crazy talk. I don't know how to deal with someone who can look at the average household wealth of black families vs white families or the disparity of sentencing in our justice system and conclude black folks have been coddled. I know folks like this, and I have not found a way to reach them

Heather McGhee's The Sum Of Us also makes similar , convincing arguments. Learning that southern states destroyed their public resources (golf courses, public pools, public schools) rather than integrate them really says so much about this current moment.

1000 times yes to this. They have never been better. They've just held more power.

Once again, thank you for doing this reporting.

This is bananas, and utterly predictable considering at least half the people identifying as Christians are in it to feel superior to others and wield power over others.

💯 yep. Lots of folks looking for ways to feel superior to others are drawn to it.

Spiritual bypassing is a thing. Many Christian organizations actively encourage it, and the 12 step program feeds into it.

@propublica.org is out here doing the work if they are getting thinly veiled threats from regime supporters.

Also.. NC are you happy with this lack of transparency and hostility to being held accountable?

Oh. It's almost as if ICE is not bringing their best people. 🙄

Losing a furry member of the family is so hard. Hugs to you and yours. 💙💜

I see that he's done exactly no self-reflection while in prison. Easily the worst thing about Santos is that he's young so he has many decades of lying and stealing ahead of him.

Yeah. That phrase tells me everything I need to know, and I hate it.

💯 what else can Joe Rogan complain about?

What a terrible loss. Hugs to you and your family.
