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...]( ) [The free speech event that was...]( )
Supporting Trump means believing Harris will do all kinds of stuff she has never mentioned (banning cows & cars! voting rights for migrants!), while insisting Trump won’t do the crazy shit he’s openly promising. [www.nytimes.com/2024/10/14/u...]( ) [The Trump Voters Who Don’t Bel...]( )

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.

Genuinely surprised more business leaders aren't speaking out against Trump for purely self-interested reasons. A 200% tariff means $4,00 iPhones. It'll add thousands to the price of most cars. Appliances, clothing, etc. will get much more expensive. Not to mention the retaliatory tariffs.

Just a few weeks ago, MAGAfluencers were calling for ABC’s debate moderators to be prosecuted, claiming their biased questions amounted to an illegal in-kind campaign contribution to Harris. RE: View quoted note →
If this election goes the wrong way, that other two-thirds are in for a big surprise. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreibuthlnk7bvz2bvachttna663bfxym5e5utnoloi7imkjtybxqynq
