Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, for now I think it's just that: a conspiracy theory. But if things start not adding up, I think it's a fair question: Did Trump give the order for the hit?
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
Well we do know that she came and she gave without taking.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
I was thinking the same thing. We don't know a lot of the details yet but this looks like a professional hit job. And Cash Patel's FBI has taken over the investigation from local law enforcement, I believe. I wouldn't put it past the mob boss in charge.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
What worries me the most is what Trump is going to try to pull DURING the election and immediately AFTER the election.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
And you can add public education to that list.

He is definitely trying to steal the election. And I agree with everything you said. But what does that have to do with the National Guard? How do they fit in to all this?
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
Okay, so he brings the national guard into the cities. I'm having a hard time connecting the dots as to how that will result in him stealing the election. Are they going to seize voting machines? Arrest people of color? Be used to invalidate election results post-election? What?
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
We have to figure out the ways Trump is going to try & steal the election: both pre election & post election. We cannot afford to be blindsided or surprised if & when it happens. We need to imagine the worse scenarios & have a strategic plan to stop it from happening. Somebody get on that.

Hey Mr. Pinochet You've sown a bitter crop It's foreign money that supports you One day the money's going to stop No wages for your torturers No budget for your guns Can you think of your own mother Dancin' with her invisible son

As somebody who lives in Texas, I thought Cornyn was the last of the good guys. The most moderate kid at maga camp, so to speak. How disappointing to learn he is as spineless as the rest of his republican colleagues.

Cowards. We will not forget who the enablers were.

Because "soft rock" is a nebulous term. First of all, you can make ANY rock "soft rock" by turning down the volume. Plus to a lot of people, it has derogatory implications, kinda similar to the term "yacht rock." Most of the creators of "soft rock" or "yacht rock" do not want to be labeled as such.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
This isn't soft rock. It's country rock.

The question is: Are democrats capable of bold action?
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
Dems have a big incentive to outlaw gerrymandering & voter suppression. Because dems win when everybody's vote is counted. And Republicans know it too. That's why repubs work so hard to find different ways to suppress democratic votes. They know they can't win unless they cheat.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
Dems can't change the rules for better if they don't have the power to do so. If dems ever get power back, I'm pretty sure they will try to outlaw gerrymandering from either side.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
Do it!! If dems don't, it very well could be something we regret after 2026...like how we had four years to bring Trump to justice but dropped the ball.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. They can't win unless they cheat.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
What you described is what democrats want. But until maga agrees, dems need to play by the same set of rules (or lack therof) as the republicans.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
Blue states need to reciprocate in kind. If we don't, we'll wish we had after the 2026 mid-terms.

Yes. Red states. Thanks.

I don't know that I would call it episodic. That implies that the protagonists lacked an overarching goal or objective--which was to find Debbie.

The vast majority of whom probably voted for Trump.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
I remember watching an interview with a constitutional expert right after Trump was elected. I remember the interviewer asking her how could she be so sure that Trump would follow court orders? Her answer was "Because that's what presidents do."

We need to contact all democratic senators & tell them if ANYBODY votes for this, we will be moving heaven & earth to primary them out next election. Are you listening #ChuckShumer
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
you mean...maga is coming to conclusions based on bias, prejudice, and/or insufficient evidence? Nah...that's just crazy talk.

This is not getting out. Legacy media is just reporting it as some little marginal protest by anti-trumpers. We need videos on YT showing how BIG and how numerous these protests are!!

I can give you the plot line right now. He's gonna peek his head out, see the angry mob, call off the book tour & retreat back into his ivory tower.

They're already being punished. And you helped make it permanent instead of a chance of it being temporary.

When it comes to the GOP spending bill, the republicans have succeeded in putting the dems in a lose-lose situation. But by voting no on it, at least we go down swinging instead rolling over like a cheap suit.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social)
@schumer.senate.gov Why are you telling senators to vote for this awful GOP spending bill? You are betraying the American people!!

You missed it! The GOP came to its senses & impeached Trump. And Elon's in jail.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
You should get a piece of that. Give her permission to use your likeness in exchange for half the profits. That's what Trump & Elon would do.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
This needs to be the top priority of all litigation, IMO. If Trump gets hold of free & fair elections, then it's game over.

Political theatre will just play into maga's hands, giving them an excuse to break any & every rule of decorum they don't like. Have all democrats wear a button that says RESIST & then sit politely & listen. Don't applaud. When it's over, be ready to rebut.
Pat Turman (@patturman.bsky.social) reply parent
They gotta prove racism doesn't exist so that they can keep black people from voting.
