@hwinkler4real.bsky.social Look who I ran into today.

“Let’s put out of our minds the merits . . .” Justice Alito then proceeds to pose an incoherent hypothetical that has nothing whatsoever to do with what is in front of the court.

I am not a lawyer but even I know a “let’s change the argument because I can’t argue against you seriously.” #SCOTUS

@juliemason.bsky.social You didn’t say we’d be graced by the mustachioed genius today? Happy day!!! How long will he talk until he says the US should strike Iran?

He has a very solid . . .

I found his comparison of governors streamlining budgets to be somewhere in the same galaxy as a president doing the same quite whimsical. It’s almost like he doesn’t want to understand scale and scope properly. 🤷‍♂️

Musk cutting his own contracts is laughable. Most of his fortune is due to government subsidies. I like the Gov. Keep bringing him back to provide the laughs.

@juliemason.bsky.social State budgets don’t have to take into account (checks notes) funding national defense. Come on, Gov.

@juliemason.bsky.social How did I make it this long without knowing you share a birthday with my mom? I’ll never forget now. Happy Birthday!

Every once in a while, Sen Ron drops his guard and admits the truth. It’s his redeeming quality.

@juliemason.bsky.social I guess I tuned in for the “politicians divorced from reality” segment today. Love me some Sen Ron Johnson. Just so sure of everything even if it isn’t true. The commitment is inspiring.

@juliemason.bsky.social Rep Tenney is really going all in on all the things that aren’t true about how tax cuts and debt work right? Man that was a lot to listen to. I’m exhausted.

This reply should have more likes.

@juliemason.bsky.social Is Amb. Bolton feeling ok? He had a perfect chance to advocate for US direct intervention in Iran and he punted. Maybe he’s angling for a national security role in the next administration. 🤷‍♂️

I’d go to Costa Rica. My Spanish is passable and the people there are so friendly. Going there again this summer . . . maybe we will stay.

Well it really depends on his postgame meal in order for me to properly handicap it. 🤣

@juliemason.bsky.social Is it me or do the expectations for the debate just seem wildly out of kilter? Harris needs to lay out specific plans, show that she can be presidential and take a few quality shots at Trump. And Trump merely needs to not throw up on his shoes and stay on message. 🤷‍♂️

And then he made another solid point about Vance. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?!

@juliemason.bsky.social I was all ready with my “Bolton wants war in Iran” hot take and then he went and made a solid point about Trump that I had to agree with. And then Diego squeaky toy in the background!!! 😂😂😂

@oknox.bsky.social I told them I know the owner but they didn’t seem to buy it. 🤷‍♂️

The self delusion of this party is total and complete isn’t it? Really sad.

@juliemason.bsky.social Do you really think divine intervention explains Trumps continued ability to avoid the pitfalls that seem to hit every other politician? Or is it more likely that his lack of any sense of humility is more the case? For transparency, I am an atheist.
