In the interest of a mature and robust civic culture and debates over matters of public interest, fuck this guy and fuck you if you vote for him. https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreibatkswqwj7pfjoplauznwmgbjb44nwdubgwknoonksylkol6uica

The problem with “free speech culture,” as opposed to free speech law, is that it is fuzzy and malleable and can be manipulated like this to say “Richard Spencer talking was essential to healthy and productive debate but kids protesting Gaza is disruptive, intimidating, and discriminatory.” RE:

“I don’t like how the constitution has been used by Trump judges recently so let’s make it harder to find things unconstitutional” is the ultimate dumb Democratic take. As just the first two examples to come to mind, flag burning would still be a crime and DOMA would be the law. https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreibkfkcoayqrtq6mz2lbqpm2u267h5rmtmg6varpr2yulcqgo2mbki https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreifcwiszpexctkqk5h5lc3nukvz47wtfyw3qfvf2azxhudqatgl5ai

Here’s the thing though: Trump voters (1) won’t believe any quantum of evidence (2) don’t care whether it’s true or not (3) will increase their support of him because anyone “attacked by the media” is inherently good (4) don’t think anything he said is particularly bad.

See THIS is how you contrast a politician’s bullshit with what they’ve done or said. https://lionsmane.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p&cid=bafkreidxsejmhf443237scjavqunbsvavrxhibswb3cfol6e3ioitwqdf4

This brings us one step closer to my dream of covering a federal indictment of Kanye West

I am not a Rich Lowry fan. To the contrary, by lots. I am even less of a fan of his characteristically smug, douchey Band-of-Brooks-Brothers defense of Trump and Vance and his sneering dismissal of apt accusations of racism. But it sounded to me like he was trying to say “Haitian migrants.” /1

The 5 Stages Of Elon: 1. Why hasn’t anybody killed POTUS or VPOTUS? 2. I don’t understand humor or human interaction 3. Stop saying mean things about Trump 4. I am a huge supporter of the First Amendment 5. If they can use meds to turn kids trans why can’t they use meds to make my kids talk to me
