This sounds all high-minded until you remember that millions have relatives and friends whom Vance and his running mate plan to deport. Journalists they want to prosecute. Loved ones they’ve called “the enemy within.” Neighbors they claim “poison the country’s blood.” So no. Fuck that. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreifto4dznkzay456r6ittjgm2blqxgupnfow4ppihlhgxbuulcc6am
Obeying in advance doesn’t protect you. It just lets them know who will go down without a fight.

It's utterly fucking surreal that not only is there now a completely legitimate reason for journalists to ask sitting governors, senators, and congressmen if praising Hitler should be disqualifying for a presidential candidate, but also they can't simply answer, "Yes."
Stunning how seamlessly and shamelessly heterodox types pivot from “free speech!” to gleefully championing aggressive crackdowns on Palestine protesters, with no attempt to explain the discrepancy. [theracket.news/p/the-free-s...](

Only real criticism local libertarian man can muster of Trump is that he once commended Anthony Fauci. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreiexpvamlavg2snmk7rjb6jgn6hw7i74dcjfdtierjlb2avcgpio54
This isn't nearly as consequential a lie as Springfield, but it really highlights how Vance has prostituted his dignity. Years ago, he expressed some empathy for Black people treated unfairly by police. But empathy is a cardinal sin in MAGA-land. So he's furiously lying to retcon his decency. [J.D.
