@ettingermentum Good analogy. I honestly don’t remember what they said, but I do remember they weren’t an effective opposition until the 2010 midterms. Believe Obama called it “a shellacking”.

@wyddrryn @zerohedge Dude you just made my monthly subscription WORTH IT. #HookEm

Well had he done that it would have basically been the trainwreck debate performance but on the plus side it would have been in February instead of June. You folks could have gotten him out sooner, had an actual legitimate convention instead of trying to make everyone get in line behind someone who previously failed to crack single digits amongst Dem primary voters, and who knows, perhaps have had a different outcome. So I don’t think it’s “bewildering” at all that he didn’t go on. Everyone close to him knew it would have been bad. And you were left with “vibes” and cognitive dissonance camo.

@elonmusk Please! Pretty, pretty PLEASE!!!

What is it with people thinking that American tax dollars going overseas is some ironclad law of physics? I don’t want to fund something with a very questionable ROI to the American people and I am defacto supporting authoritarianism? Gaslighting didn’t work last year and it won’t work this year, either.

@josh_seiter @AndrewfHarlow1 I used to think it was “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” until I learned that it’s really “hell hath no fury like white progressive encountering a non-white voter voting R”. OMG that stuff is next level…

@danielsgoldman @elonmusk @kanyewest I’m a huge free speech guy but agreed that he should get the boot and honestly it should have been days ago from what I’ve seen. Never a bad time to do the right thing.

@matthewstoller Oh stop, that’s like saying that the Dems should try to co-opt Ted Cruz or Rick Scott because there a figments of potential agreement on 1-2 periphery issues.

@JuliaDavisNews Like USAID these orgs are not what they are marketed as. “Soft” power is precisely that - soft. Useless. If China wants to try and bribe people to be their friends that’s fine. The Sri Lankans are finding out the hard way that there are strings attached in that relationship.

Oh this is going to be fascinating watching yall try to sell the public on a retread of the 1990’s Dems on day 1 and then reverting back to your current form on day 2. @Mark_Penn please consider putting a word in the ears of any sane Dems still remaining in the party apparatus.

@ChrisMurphyCT As an American taxpayer who is no longer funding a giant money-laundering operation to your party’s NGO’s I think this is a win.

I’ve been on this thing off and on since 2010 (was a regular poster from 2010-20 but one day said “DONE” and deleted my profile, came back after Elon bought this thing). My personal experience has been that the X-rated bots are a peak and trough type of situation. There were periods where they would show up and then when they would mercifully be gone. And then back again….Sort of like spam texts, which I seem to be getting more frequently unfortunately 😔

@TaylorTots99 @ZaidJilani Not sure how long you have been on this platform but the sketchy bots (agreed they are annoying and truly add no value to this platform) have been around since the days of Dick Costello. They aren’t the reason for the worldview of a big slice of your party.

@RepJasonCrow Fact: people respect actual strength. The kind that comes from a group of physically fit well-trained war fighters.

@SxarletRed If by “repair the damage” you mean “completely restore funding to their aligned NGO’s” then without a shadow of a about YES. They are good at taking care of their people with American tax dollars, I will give them that.

Smart people control the organs of culture. Speaking of tyrant, does it feel good to criticize a politician you disagree with? People can do that freely in my country. Too bad people can’t do that in your country if they happen to say the “wrong” things about the “wrong”’people. Now go back to your own politics and fix that bloody awful mess with Rotherham, Telford, Rochdale, etc it has horribly damaged your country’s reputation as has this gem from your Foreign Secretary. Lovely way to continue the “special relationship”.

@simbasad2 It’s an act of mercy to the viewer. But in fairness to 9 year-olds - she really looks like how my 4 year-old did yesterday afternoon.
