Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death
Our fearless leader’s tweets are starting to remind me of the old Tiger Oil memos where Tiger Mike would threaten employees for things like putting their feet on his office coffee table…

“Subject: A note from Sen. Smith's deputy chief I knew Melissa Hortman. Many people in this office did. She was a longtime friend of Senator Smith's, who had seen her hours before she was murdered. So you'll forgive my candor as I speak through enormous grief. It is important for your office to know how much additional pain you've caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend. I am not sure what compelled you or your boss to say any of those things, which, in addition to being unconscionable, also may very well be untrue. But that is not the point. Why would you use the awesome power of a United States Senate Office to compound people's grief? Is this how your team measures success? Using the office of US Senator to post not just one but a series of jokes about an assassination-is that a successful day of work on Team Lee? Did you come into the office Monday and feel proud of the work you did over the weekend? Let's recap Saturday so you fully understand what Minnesota was going through. Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered. Sen. Hoffman and his wife were shot numerous times and remain hospitalized. By the grace of God it appears they will survive. Senators are discovered to be on a hit list of an armed man on the run-Senator Lee's colleagues. And the decision of the office of Senator Mike Lee was not to publicly condemn the violence Arta Avnrace condolense to her chattered children”
“— It was to intimate that Melissa and Mark somehow deserved this? By making jokes? Did you have any consideration for the survivors in her family? For the Hoffmans in the hospital? For their families? You exploited the murder of a lifetime public servant and her husband to post some sick burns about Democrats. Did you see this as an excellent opportunity to get likes and retweet? Have you absolutely no conscience? No decency? I pray to God that none of you ever go through anything like this. I pray that Senator Lee and your office begin to see the people you work with in this building as colleagues and human beings. And I pray that if God forbid, you ever find yourselves having to deal with anything similar, you find yourselves on the receiving end of the kind of grace and compassion that Senator Mike Lee could not muster. Lastly I suggest you take a few minutes today to read about Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. They were remarkable people. Here's a story in the St. Paul Pioneer press called "Melissa Hortman: Once a teenager with a job making burritos, she became a powerful MN lawmaker who trained service dogs." She was a force. And a human being. And I beg of you to exercise some restraint on social media as we continue to grieve. Ed Shelleby Office of Senator Tina Smith”

Share this. It’s why the White House demanding ABC get rid of Terry Moran. Moran has been suspended. What Moran said is accurate and true. Make sure his post makes the rounds.

If you want Bluesky to have a lot of energy (and have more news folks) you have to start following a lot of them, so that you can create a lot of discussions and cross-pollination, so to speak. Threads hates engagement, and X has drowned it in trolls.
