I'd be surprised if you haven't seen this, sir, but just in case (and for those others who haven't). Probably the cleanest I ever yelled at anyone. @dicknixon.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=feAf...
Brooklyn-born transplant to San Francisco. Not clever enough to be a shitposter, not smart enough to be an expert on anything, not funny enough to be a comedian. Basically mid. Pro-Bay Area sportsball. Anti-GOP, Trump, Nazis. No DMs. Slava Ukraini!

LOL thanks for conforming it: you're a fucking troll.
Think about it. "Dems were too zealous in trying to prevent the spread of the virus" is, in US politics, a greater disadvantage, a bigger problem, than "Republican lies got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed for no reason." Just a pathetic fucking country. Pathetic.
A good thread. I'd like Sen. Brian Schatz to read it, but it appears he'd rather be on TwiXter than here.
Someone get this to the White House, stat.
I think Claire is right: it's just that people on here don't like Nate.

Tjete’s no doubt that Trump will supplant Dubyah as “Worst President Ever,” unless he doesn’t survive the year (at least if he kicks it, Bush automatically becomes “Worst Living Ex-President). The Bush body count is higher as of now.

This #LaborDay, let’s remember that immigrants make up 20% of the workforce. If 20% of the workforce were deported, the country's GDP would decrease by 12% (-3 trillion). Hurting immigrants doesn't only hurt them. It hurts America. Is weakening America worth owning the libs?
Remember when Trump came down with Covid and spent three days at Walter Reed? He claimed he was cured by a "drug cocktail" from a company called Regeneron. Whatever happened to that treatment? www.cnn.com/2020/10/05/i...
Damn, so clever that 20 people have already beat me to it.
Legolas, of course.

"Worse than Iraq" is a pretty amazing take. I don't think that President Bleach 'n' Hydroxychloroquine incompetently rolling out his pandemic response is quite on the same level as lying us into a war that destabilized the entire middle east, but what do I know? I'm just a dog.
Also, "govt action" - if he means federal government, who was president in 2020? Oh yeah, the same guy that's president now, who put RFK Jr. in charge of public health.
LOL right, they may "re-examine their deployments" that they're doing because Orange Hitler wants to occupy big cities run by Democrats.
I can't believe he's that stupid. People have been buying jerseys with their favorite players' names and numbers for fucking EVER. I was a huge fan of Willie Mays as a kid...in the 19-fucking-60's.
Pure. Bullshit. I bought a Barry Bonds jersey...in 1993.

"Isn't it a good thing that people are so scared of going outdoors in DC, because they might be kidnapped by masked thugs and deported, that carjackings are now way down?"
My god, mainstream media is so in love with Trump's fascist tactics it's like a bad parody of the Onion. And kudos to Moore, but is it so hard to say that the Constitution specifically denies the stationing of troops in American cities unless expressly authorized by Congress?

Same here.
OK, I misread the first part of your comment to mean that it was trolls that were pushing the "anyone who says bad things about Newsom is being divisive and wrong, because he's our best best in '28" line. My apologies. I'm 67 and my rading comprehension isn't what it used to be. 🖖
As for the blonde white lady who looked very comfortable in her smugness, and voted for Trump because she "can't vote for the status quo" and was "absolutely better off during Donald Trump's presidency than I am today," I wonder how she feels now? LOL who am I kidding. She's probably fine.
After the election I took a break from politics until the end of the year. So, I missed a few things, like this John Oliver episode about the aftermath. Interesting to watch it now, to compare what Oliver thought would happen to what actually did happen (at least so far). youtu.be/LU2atCWyAos?...
It was Third Way, which at this point should be considered a group of collaborationist quislings.
Is it Opposite Day again?
Probably one of the worst assumptions in energy that leads a lot of otherwise decent analysts astray is that energy is governed purely by financial rationalism rather than being a very old and entrenched geopolitical tool first.
Best song on the album IMHO
Exactly!
Hey, Gavin Newsom - maybe you could take a break from Trump trolling and get California involved in this.
Or maybe
Naive
Also too: “Jon Gruden resigned as the coach of the N.F.L.’s Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 11 after The New York Times reported that he had made racist, homophobic and misogynistic remarks in numerous emails during a seven-year period ending in early 2018.” www.nytimes.com/article/raid...
My “Roger Clemens never took drugs, there is no proof that he took drugs, he has steadfastly refused that he took drugs” t-shirt is yadda yadda yadda.
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
A lot of the discourse about Newsom comes down to people finding ways to say “I just think trans people aren’t as important as my other concerns” but saying it in the most cowardly way because they know how dick they would sound it they said it directly But we all know what you are, transphobes
Give me a break with this “Russian troll farms” bullshit. I live in California. I know Gavin Newsom. He’s a conniving social climber who has ambition without soul. If you’re going to view any criticism of a Democrat as trolling, then you don’t give a fuck about Democracy.
Mainstream media, as always, rushing to defend the fascist and normalize fascist behavior. “But now at least the trains are running on time!”
This is mesmerizing
Without Googling, even.
Shhh, don't tell anyone, but that's mine.
Pink Ladies on parade, Lafayette, CA. (Taken a few weeks ago, they're all pretty much spent now.)
Yeah, that's the key. It won't happen for Trump, because he's not a Democrat.
Not really sure what the point of posting things like this is. There are plenty of things you can blame on Schumer, but this is a GOP-owned debacle. If you want to blame someone, blame that fucker "Dr." Bill Cassidy.
They are as much of a Nazi bar as Twi(X)ter.
Yup, which is why going on Fox only serves to reinforce their narrative, no matter what you say on air. Tarlov's comments will be smothered under 100 layers of bullshit and pro-MAGA nonsense.
He really doesn't like it when people tell him he's full of shit. But even people trying to politely tell him he's wrong get slammed by his acolytes. He views any disagreement as an attack on him personally.
Thread. We seem to be slow-motion walking into at least one catastrophe, probably several, and there is no one coming to save us.

Maybe Hollywood Democrats should throw another fundraiser for her.
This is the problem with pretending that Fox gives a shit about any point of view other than “whatever Trump wants is fine with me.” They are making fun of her, laughing at her, belittling her. Fox’s audience is doing the same. It’s pointless kayfabe to make liberals think MAGA can be reasoned with
Wow, from the time when Taibbi actually had useful things to say.
Until someone much younger comes along, anyway.
Dude knows (or should) that “thoughts and prayers” is a term of mockery for the general public, because no one from his fucking party ever proposes any concrete plans to do anything about mass slaughter. All we get is some handwaving about mental health (which they always cut funding for).
Not my experience at all. Twitter is full of fake accounts and bots, and most of the actual people are Nazis. If Bluesky is too “left wing” for you, there’s always Elon’s place as an alternative.
You get that what you reposted is pretty anodyne by comparison, right? Also you can just block people instead of crying about being trolled.
Not sure how insightful his thoughts are, if he gets triggered this easily. Pretty mild invective. Women get much worse all the time, both here and especially on Twitter.
Not without making sure your drink was covered the whole time.
Oh, I'm fine with him trolling Trump (and pissed that Dem leadership isn't doing anything at all). I'm not fine with him being President. We can do better.
Love the slight pause while he thinks about it.
Oh yeah, I know immediately after reading that letter what RW media was going to focus on. It's a call-back to the earlier kerfuffle. Emma Green tsk-tsk-ed about it back in... 2021. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The updated version of "Don't follow me, I'm lost too"
LOL, he just makes money off of it.
My problem with bay leaves is you end up chomping on it if you're careful about removing it.
Also, too: WTF is this shit? bsky.app/profile/joey...
Newsom not beating the rap that he sucks on many fronts, not just on marginalizing trans people.
"The Federal Highway Commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe" But we're still gonna let Elon sell 'em, by Jingo. Caveat Emptor!
Just taking a shot in the dark here: could the reason be that he's racist, misogynistic pig?
Yum!
What a piss take.
LOL
...is not very realistic, either. They all did what they felt they had to do.
That's what the director did. Everyone makes their own choices. Personally I think the Director continuing to litigate her job while 4 of her deputies resigned on the same day is a pretty powerful statement. The idea that any of those people who quit were going to have any influence if they stayed..
Actually Pete was the guy impersonating JD Vance (which is definitely not a stretch for him). 😀
TIL that Gloria Gaynor, the singer of "I Will Survive" and gay icon, is a Republican donor. I already knew Snoop was an asshole. open.substack.com/pub/wonkette...
MattY would end up being thrown into a Salvadoran prison, where he would sit on his bunk and say "I love you Big Brother" over and over
"We need to give the fascists a win" Imagine Ike saying this in 1944. My lack of interest in hearing anything that MattY has to say remains intact.
- Criminals wear masks - ICE wears masks - Masks keeps people from being doxxed Extending this further, perhaps the "Antifa criminals" (i.e. peaceful demonstrators) were trying to prevent their families from being doxxed?
Exactly. Simply sitting back and calling each new outrage a "distraction" is what's causing people to look at the Dems and say, "what a bunch of losers."
This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.
I know Democrats are overwhelmed (or rudderless, if you are less charitable) by the sheer volume of Trump authoritarian moves, but I’d like to see them unified behind specific goals like “RFK Jr is a threat to public health and needs to go.”
I agree with most of your list, not sure about the mainstream media one, though. Still seems like they are trying to normalize him. "Trump Takes Power Quest to New Level" is hardly being "harshly critical." www.frontpages.com/the-new-york...
Also I think whoever prepped him for the debate did a shitty job. He clearly wasn't the same Walz that we had seen from his speeches and videos.
I hope he studied how to use it on himself. Do it now, Drew, you can't take any chances.
This is a hell of a letter. “The intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines…will bring us to a pre-vaccine era where only the strong will survive and many if not all will suffer….Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated…”
