@NGaMike@krassenstein No, we don’t think looting or setting cars on fire is peaceful. Now you try: can you say the same about the violent offenders on January 6th?
Bill Maher warns the GOP they’re "way past flirting with authoritarianism."
"You must know we are really on the edge of a dictatorship here, and you're the only ones who can stop it."
@NGaMike@krassenstein I mean…… this guy seems to care, and seems hellbent on going after him because he doesn’t like the things he says. Also a nice threat to ABC who he says is put “in jeopardy” for choosing to air his show. First Amendment 101. 😕
@atrupar They they they THEY THEY!!! Enough already! Such dangerous rhetoric to be peddling regardless of the shooter’s beliefs, but we now know that he clearly isn’t the “they” that fits this bullshit narrative that it’s all “their” fault because “they” call us names like fascist! 😭😭😭
@NGaMike Extremely insightful and detailed article about the shooter and his environs. Fascinating deep dive and well written.

Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of this website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in the past. In moments like this, we should be lowering the temperature and finding our shared humanity — not fueling more hatred and violence.
At least 20 people injured and two killed in a mass shooting just now at Annunciation Catholic Church and its school in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Prayers aren’t working. We need action. If prayers worked a house of prayer wouldn’t experience this.
@TheBackPage FWIW though, he was all smiles when he shook Tommy’s hand on the green. I don’t disagree that he can be unlikable, but to be fair here he did show the appropriate class and he doesn’t need to smile for the camera every time in case someone missed the one that counted.
The positively miserable look on Patrick Cantlay’s face makes the whole afternoon worthwhile.
Such an insufferable human being.
Hope Tommy takes as long going over the scorecard as Cantlay did standing over each shot.

everyone in politics and journalism who has downplayed the threat Trump poses to our democracy needs to reflect on their foolishness and beg their kids and grandkids for forgiveness
Confused about what happened at the "very unusual" Trump-Putin summit? Listen to what Fox's Bret Baier, Brian Kilmeade, and Jacqui Heinrich said about it:
"It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled."
To their credit, the Founding Fathers always knew a king-like tyrant would one day try to rule as personal dictator and use the powers of the presidency to live above the law.
But they never foresaw an entire branch of government abdicating oath in favor of partisan complicity and grift, and they certainly never foresaw algorithmic media producing a citizenry so manipulated by obvious deceit.
Without Putin having made any concessions but on the basis of dumbwit Witkoff's misunderstandings, Trump is now inviting sanctioned international criminal Putin to meet him on US ground for the first time since 2003.
What an embarrassment for the US! /5
Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.
