Standing for Nothing After being a leading Democratic enabler of the genocide of Palestinians, Cory Booker now has the audacity to publish a book about moral virtue.

Harris is already platformed. It's not like criticising him will suddenly raise him into public view. Thousands of people read his books, watch his videos, and listen to his podcasts. If no one makes an argument against him, neutrals and his followers may think he just sounds like a "reasoble guy"

Smith belongs to the Yglesian tier of trashfire pundits. Both sport a record of being perpetually and smugly wrong about important issues (Iraq, Palestine, antitrust, etc), yet somehow they only become more influential.

"the left needs to wax lyrically about Tech Bros" no stfu, you fools.

Conservative legal movement is quota hiring for bigots and bootlickers.

The chad dosemaxxed.

And he actually did the "buying the election" thing in 2024. Open unambiguous election interference for personal gain and government contracts. Got caught doing a couple of election fraud schemes, a fake lottery for signing pledges to vote for Trump, the works!

"New York is the Tiranë of America "

Look under your chair - Everyone gets an AI...

Xenophobes are just manifesting stats into being. Citations? Nah, it's "common sense". Lefty nerds do the actual work of looking up real stats. By the time the fake stat has embedded in popular consciousness, it's too late to revise reality with those pesky correct statistics.

Of course he cites Vermeule, the guy who made the case for America's global torture campaign during the Iraq war.

Killing someone makes his party support him more fervently. For months he posted videos of double tap strikes on small South American boats to their emphatic approval
(claiming without evidence that they were drug boats - which, even if they were, would still be extra judicial murder)

More like Alex Grifting

@lukewsavage.bsky.social wrote a prescient piece on Carney's rehashed conservatism. Whenever Carney details his agenda, it's (1) more defence spending at the cost of social spending, (2) pro-business policies at the cost of workers and (3) International agreements without concern for human rights.

"and I’m trying to figure out who is less trustworthy"
Undisputed answer is Trump, of course. For him, signing agreements is performance art rather than a pledge to honour said agreements.

Poor ol' Biden was a powerless smol bean (President of the United States) and couldn't do anything but give the genocide country its ammunition.

Alex Jones approves of your orchestrated conspiracy theory, while wearing a tin foil hat.

And they're going to keep on doing bad things if people give them a pass. Impunity incentivises these right wing ghouls and dunces to sell Americans another warmonger fraudster, and concomitantly pretend that they oppose war.

"We're all trying to find the guys who did this"

"we don't really concern ourselves with what they claim they have the right to do"

is just a roundabout way of saying that they dismiss countries' sovereign rights.

Same goes for his wife. She may claim she has rights (women amirite) but if she dares exercise those rights, he will prohibit her.

Very inconvenient when Israel comports itself like a genocidal ethnostate. Makes me furrow my brow, in fact.

Nice hand wave. Israel has in fact forcibly displaced non-Jews and and passed laws to ensure Jewish demographic supremacy. When Israel does ethnic cleansing it's not an "Abstract philosophical question". Israel found that Israel's ethnostate law is all good, wow. I too love marking my own tests.

Must Israel adhere to UN resolutions? This will be big news for... Israel, who says the UN is an illegitimate antisemitic institution. Israel's high court explicitly ruled that Israeli law trumps international law.

You cease We fire.

In our defence, no he doesn't

all of the lessons of the Trump era are the type you’d learn from a children’s book. you tried to use bullying to get what you want, but you alienated your allies, oh no! you have learned the power of friendship.

Trans rights and opposing genocide - progressive purity politics are harmful and will cost us elections

Saying mean things about reactionaries and conservatives - we'd rather have Democrats lose

Third Way is a cabal for keeping leftists out of power; they'd rather have Fascist oligarchs govern.

When gender criticals and terfs (is there really a difference?) are appointed, it's "fostering debate" and "free expression".

When queer-inclusive profs are appointed, it has a "chilling effect on free speech" and is "intolerant to viewpoint diversity".

In Landman s01, the corporate oil dude destroys the rest of the office guys with fActS and LogIC (fossil fuel propaganda) leaving everyone stunned by his IQ.

Same season, the Landman owns a librul lady on how bad renewables are vs fossil fuels.

Also, lots of old guys creeping on young ladies.
