@timmiller.bsky.social - She flip flopped, but so did the party. I think from their perspective this fits in to the anti-DEI agenda, starting with messaging across the party. Should anyone be surprised? I think it's like Boots said, she supported it when it was convenient and now it's not.

I don't think it's as bad, but one is clearly sane washing for the non-Maga crowd, while the other is just for the pro-MAGA agitators. I don't think either really is anything more than a different side of the same coin at this point.

I think the real question is should people be voting for someone who mistakenly or intentionally gets a Totenkopf tattoo in today's political environment? Probably not.

Mills might be the safe choice here, maybe not the most exciting one.

They should send all of ICE to the Ukrainian front lines since they are itching for someone to fight. Putin did say he hates Nazis.

In order to investigate that would require them to do their job, which they won't.

Every time he mentions doing something un-American or illegal, I take him at his word, otherwise it's a lie because it's the one truth he's maintained this presidency.

I will prosecute my enemies, I will become Dictator day one, etc.

Reminds me of how Putin shuffled himself and Medvedev around the leadership positions to pretend they were a Democracy and not an authoritarian state.

Which is why he will go down as the worst Supreme Court Chief Justice of all time. There is no justice in history who singularly has done more damage to the country than him.

It’s past time to upgrade the criticism of @nytimes.com leadership from β€œsanewashing” to β€œdemocracywashing”.

β€œDemocracy-washing”:
When news journalists / editors / media orgs present the news distorting the reality the US is no longer operating as constitutional democracy with rule of law.
