alarmist morisette

This thread is a hostile screenshotted quote tweet with nearly a thousand likes, all for someone admitting they had a wrong understanding and have adjusted their POV to the one that the people dragging him all agree is the correct POV.

See how maybe that might contribute to a double-down culture?

But remember, Republicans love a small lean government that doesn't blow money on foreign interests.

Antisemitic racist country funneling cash to an antisemitic racist state, makes sense to me.

Huh?

Though Jan 6th is admittedly a hell of a thing to get wrong, no good purpose is served by ridiculing someone who eventually got it right, albeit belatedly.

He's correct that this demonstrates the perverse incentives.

If admitting "I was very wrong" gets you dragged through the street for being wrong, then guess what you're never ever going to admit ever again.

ok, somebody needs to fix you.

I appreciate this analysis because I discovered him as a tween, and loved most everything he wrote, and later discovered all of the yikes, and was like... what does that say about me?

So it's good to hear a woman give him a fair shake. More than fair, really. Dude had issues.

When I die, I want to go to hell just so I can watch this little toad roasting on a spit.

You're never gonna do very well leading off with "reproductive freedom is great, but..."

like it's already over at that point. Literally anything would've worked. better.

It makes perfect sense if you understand that MAGA is:

1. A movement that believes an elite cabal runs everything.
2. A movement that wants to be that elite cabal.

Such a movement would be expected to hate Jews, but keep some as mascots, and that's exactly what we see.

A publicly funded retirement is only sustainable if the people who consume it have produced enough taxpayers to fund it. It's really that simple.

If the answer is "squeeze the billionaires", yes, I hear you, but there just aren't enough of them, and they shouldn't exist anyway.

A year ago, people would've called you hysterical for predicting a headline like this.

Now, "eh, he probably won't follow through"

Something between deification and demonization would be nice.

Pulling the fire alarm, watching the firemen break through the door, and wailing "both sides are destroying this house".

People like Zach Bryan are the problem. It would've been better if he said nothing at all.

It's narrative-building. If you want people to believe leftist terror cells exist, you start by declaring an investigation into them. Then when you can't find any, declare that they're so sophisticated that they're masters of "blending into the population".

Then you can arrest anybody you want.

Nobody should ever be asked to take their partner's last name. This question is a filter, but not the way you think.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

I've posted this picture before but I do find it interesting that the police here arresting Carlo Gambino, at the time one of the most dangerous men in America with dozens of killers at his command, didn't feel the need to cover their faces because they are not ashamed of their work

Is the Engels bomber base in range? That's all I want to know.

I didn't think anyone could possibly find a bright side in all this, and yet there it is.

This was once a flashpoint of Republican outrage. For, like, ten years.

I look to the day when we move past this shitty era of politics that considers the highest form of statesmanship to be a shitty little guy making shitty little wisecracks with a shitty little smirk on his shitty little face.

Did anyone doubt that Trump's spirituality would be "I want to get the reward."

Huh. I thought for sure they'd give her a hearing. They must know something about a pardon.

Is it too early for the War on Christmas? I didn't even know that was possible.

For your information, Albania isn't just a rando country, it happens to be the European country with the highest susceptibility to Ponzi schemes and political corruption.
