When are they going to trot out the “you shouldn’t be attacking such an old man!” defense?

When are they going to trot out the “you shouldn’t be attacking such an old man!” defense?
We will have failed as a nation if every member of this regime isn't imprisoned for their crimes.
Tommy Tuberville should be immune to booing by now.
Nice to see Pritzker act like the problem with an armed invasion of Chicago violating people’s rights based on lies is that it’s armed invasion of Chicago violently violating people’s rights based on lies, rather than saying the problem with an armed invasion is a gallon of milk costs 25 cents more.
Be loud for America fucking slaps.
If nature doesn’t scare the shit out of you, you don’t know enough about nature.
He’s a little dead.
He has a bingo card in front of him and he waits for them to pitch him what’s on the square.
I don’t normally watch this shit live, but I’m just fingers-crossed it happens live.
mother fucker just said 'bullet fires' and nobody asked what the fuck that was
They literally just asked him this. MOTHER. FUCKER. NO.
His hair is bad.
Feel like we have a prepared statement incoming...
It’s why we made Newsom king of Bluesky. He gets the crown, the special parking spot, and ten percent off at Wendy’s the next 30 days.
No matter how much you love your sports team, someone out there hates it more than you could possibly ever love it.
Merriam-Webster Editor: …how do we describe the whole of the English language when we only have three hundred characters on Bluesky… our whole book is so much longer than that… The World’s Laziest Social Media Manager:
oh my
Also that.
Most journalists in the MSM are trying to navigate “saying things” without angering conservatives. That’s not journalism. You aren’t investigating anything. You aren’t exposing secrets to weaken the powerful. What if, instead, you tried to anger them? What if you tried to find a story?
I’m sure Karoline Leavitt is painfully aware of how many hours and minutes and seconds there are left before 2:00PM.
I miss courageous journalism.
Maybe Project 2026, 2027, and 2028 should be rebuilding our media infrastructure.
I can write a book faster than most human beings. That said, the speed at which a book is written is almost completely meaningless. So if you think, “An AI will make this go faster”? They don’t give out prizes for who finishes first. Nor do they give out prizes for most books written.
[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down
This is the opposite of waiting for the new pope. We’re waiting for the antipope to die.
I would bet a dollar they try to keep it going after he dies.
If he dies, Newsom loses his bit. So it’s a win/win.
The most horrific sci-fi is like, “What if Elon Musk were smart?”
Starting Alien: Earth and the immediate menacing tone and capitalistic plausibility make my stomach hurt. Well done.
One thing that disrupts 99% of conspiracies is the number of people required to maintain the conspiracy. The more people you add, the harder it gets. More people = more ears, eyes, and most importantly mouths.
He’s like a sitcom character brought to life through horrible, corrupting magic. He married his cousin. He lost all his money and reputation betting on Trump. He’s famously alcoholic. He solicited an underage hookup on camera. At this point in the show you wonder if the writers hate themselves.
I had a friend years ago who suffered a series of heart attacks. He had one big one, and then over the course of treatment, several smaller ones. All I’m saying is that cardiac events often aren’t a “one and done” sort of thing.
If your political views include, AT ANY POINT, “[any kind of children] are okay to harm,” I don’t care what else you have to say.
No this is James Bond. You said so.

Loyalty to any posting platform is stupid. I’m not laying down my life for my Favored Company, I’m going wherever I can say “kush got me feeling like the white Tony Soprano” and right now that’s Bluesky
Writers: I turned my trauma into the most coded message possible, using an art I learned through painstaking effort. I want you to know me, because I still only barely know me, and if you read my work maybe you will. Capitalism: …werewolves are selling right now. Do you have anything like that?
I’m not sure. I’m thinking about Miller in particular. The moment Trump dies, even with a pardon, there is real consequence coming for him without the Trump shield. Trump probably already issued pardons for every person for everything, but some people won’t care about a pardon.
It’s going to be SO CURIOUS to see the divide between those who resign the moment he dies and those who hang on.
Maybe all the “Bluesky is dying” takes are because we have the fewest bots?
Like I’m really working hard not to slip into all this conspiracy theory stuff, but WHAT THE FUCK IS BEING THROWN OUT OF THE WINDOWS OF THE WHITEHOUSE?!
Seriously. WTF.
The founding fathers did not anticipate the craven evil of the Republican Party.
If the laziest sack of shit dies on Labor Day? 🤌
Yeah, the calendar changed to a new month, so we have to have this discussion again.
Exactly.
When Elon bought Twitter, I left Twitter. There was no Bluesky. I tried to keep up with folks from Twitter through Discord and lost touch with most of the people I’d grown close with on Twitter. If Bluesky wraps? Probably the same deal. And that’s OK. Nothing in this world is permanent.
I’d offer Giuliani thoughts & prayers but I’m told that harms the undead.
with trump and giuliani edging right up to the border of death, the comedic rule of threes now screams for blood
I remain a one-issue voter for the 2028 Democratic presidential primaries, and that issue is the promise of prosecutions.

The only downside of instantly blocking people is that they remain under the impression that they were correct about whatever it was when you do.
Let me give you a brief summary as I understand it: They’re trying to deport the kids of people here who have relatives in another country to force their families here to follow them into deportation. If anyone has a better read, let me have it, but this is so vile and evil. God damn them.
This should be leading the news right now on all outlets. It’s a fucking disgrace that they have directly harmed these kids. People in this regime deserve hell but I’ll settle for their immediate imprisonment.
Proper shenanigans.
Was it video or stills? Because I also saw some folks trotted out an older video as being new.
Has there been any video of him since Wednesday? And no, I’m not really down with the body double idea. But it’s VERY suspicious we haven’t seen video of him walking around or talking to anyone.
The absolute most you could possibly piss Sauron off.
Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
He kept asking for the “real obstacle course” and they knew it was a bad idea but what’re ya gonna do?
Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
Gotta go back to this part. That last one? The cowards thing? That’s true. You wanna give up already? Go vote for them then. Be a collaborator. Fall under the weight of your convictions. But if not? How about helping those of us fighting or getting the fuck out of our way?
Happy to make a space to vent when we’re talking about a man they grew from teeth veneers in a Petri dish.
I think Newsom is a kind of avatar for a particular group of people’s rage towards Trump. They see a weapon being turned against their foe for once and it’s appealing to want that to be the solution. When you sign on with a candidate, you can’t sign on for who you *hope they will be.*
And I’ll call him a fascist to his fucking face, too.
Oh the absolute bullshit they are going to try to say he signed before died.
Well said.
Our next Democrat presidential candidate will be the person we can rely on to navigate eight of the hardest American years since Reconstruction… not the dude with the most reposts.
Yeah, it’s like when I’m getting paid nothing and my boss offers to double my salary.
I would agree and add that I don’t trust him largely because of those three things you mentioned.
We are *years* away from a primary and you trying to start this now says either you’re ill-informed and desperate, or you are well-informed and need to fix your fucking heart.
An excellent point.
Every person insisting on Newsom is telling on themselves in ways they don’t realize.
“…he, he, he… I was just saying to one of my four sons the other day – Morgan, Mason, Matthew, and Modine – this Trump is gonna live forever! And then he had a heart attack eating McDonald’s on the toilet. Which should be sad, I’m being told…”
Some people’s desperation for a “winning candidate” is producing some truly awful takes these days.
“A person once said Donald Trump is the greatest living president. That person? Donald Trump. Who is dead now. And that makes it not true anymore.”
I was trying to think of who Trump would want with him at the end; someone we might be able to point to as an indicator. His money? Would he just want to be showered with dirty dollar bills?
Giving myself a “maybe it’s today” just for a little treat.
From the top rope!
Some folks wake up and choose violence.
Ronnie Jackson gonna be on Fox News like, “…the president only needed to be resuscitated three times, which is slightly worse than most Americans.”
Those of us uninterested in football today:
I’ll let you keep the 2nd amendment if you mean this.
I can
“FASCIST PRESIDENT UPLOADED HIS BRAIN INTO SEVERAL DATA CENTERS YOU MUST DESTROY…” is the plot of a late 80s video game.
I mean, they definitely showed us this without it being behind a window, so good for them.
If you want to see the 3 (2.5) photos from today:
When you have dangerous things to do, or want whatever it was you were doing anyway to become dangerous.
They ran so far in one direction they ended up tagging themselves from behind.
Y'all it's also entirely possible the health event he experienced that kept him out of the public eye was a sudden degradation of his mental state.
If this thing sneaks up on me in a store? I will not feel bad about both destroying it and then suing Del Monte.
I repeat: now would be a good time to bring the Luddites back. With baseball bats maybe.
If I know where the backup of the fascist is stored, I have an rm -rf waiting and ready.
This feels like a good time to fully resurrect the Luddites.
