- Confuse: disinfo, whataboutism, doubt
- Outrage: “owning,” shock
- Distract: dumb debates, topic change

Hunter Biden, like millions of Americans and their families, struggled with substance abuse disorder. There is no shame in recovery. The shame belongs to Christians who judge the pain and redemption of another. I’m no theologian, but I think that concept is pretty key.

Some doorknob tells Officer Fanone he should be hit by a bus.

Hurting children is barbaric. All they learn is they can’t trust you to control your anger and it’s okay for a big person to hurt a small person.

For all of the morons trying to justify Donald’s gross rant by screeching,
“Yeah, but really what does NATO do for meeeeeeee?”
Article V was invoked exactly once, to defend US after 9/11.
NATO members sent their sons and daughters to fight beside us, you shameful turds.
Trump’s invitation to Russia to attack NATO allies is repugnant and profoundly dangerous. It should finally disqualify him for the presidency among all who cherish democratic values and our shared freedoms – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike.

For those who missed it:
The filibuster requires 60 votes in the SENATE (not the House) to pass a bill.
We’ve 50 Dem and 50 GOP in the Senate. VP Harris breaks ties.
To overturn the filibuster you need 50 Dem votes + the VP.
Dem Senators Manchin and Sinema won’t do it.

I always saw 1/6 not as a “2nd Civil War,” but as a continuation— Civil War 2.0.
We let the rot of the Confederacy fester by allowing it in our government, our laws and in monuments to traitors. We let the South be the ‘real racists’ so we could hide our own white supremacy.
The “Big Lie” has become central to the story of how Donald Trump incited violence at the US Capitol. But a much darker motivating factor has received little attention.

From another thread: use weak words offensively. They mistake fear/anger for respect— they want to be the villain in the story, so don’t let them have that role. Make them the clown, the sucker. Even if they are monstrous, we cannot show fear or try appeal to their conscience.
They like being the bad guys. Don’t use strong words to insult them.
As much as you can, drop words like: evil, dangerous, cruel, mean, angry.
Instead use words like: coward, gullible, weak, lame, small, dupe, clown, whiner, impotent, baby.
