@MookieBookieBoo @ElectionCenter_ No they wouldn’t. Scotus appointments are exempt from the filibuster and have been for over a decade.

@Badatnames55 @ElectionCenter_ They would need 60 to pack the court. Otherwise a right leaning judge would need to die first.

This bitch will cry hard when Dems pack the Supreme Court

@Bill10067727 @MookieBookieBoo @ElectionCenter_ They don’t need to kill the filibuster. You seem rather uninformed. Scotus appointments were carved out from the filibuster under Obama and Reid. They’d need a Dem president and 50 dem senators who’d back it. A steep hill but not the fantasy land you’re portraying.

@Badatnames55 @MookieBookieBoo @ElectionCenter_ They’d need to kill the filibuster (51 votes), then pack the Court with 7-8 new liberal justices, requiring a Dem president, full session time, hearings, ALL Trump-state GOP senators to join in, & Fetterman. Without red states seceding or nullifying federal law. Ain’t happening

@MookieBookieBoo @ElectionCenter_ They don’t need 60 to appoint justices. What?

@ElectionCenter_ And when exactly do you think Democrats will acquire 60 senate seats for that to be possible?

@virulentvagrant @franklinleonard Pretty sure you’re just a racist bud.

@franklinleonard Whenever I'm tempted to make concessions on the topic of racism to black left wingers I remember that this is how it's rewarded.

I'm curious whether he grapples with the fact that in order to be in his bubble, he had to consciously ignore everything that other Black people had said about race in America for his entire life until his adopted daughter experienced it directly.

@James6146392761 @PpollingNumbers No youre not

@PpollingNumbers I call complete BS. I am left center. Dem my whole life, not a chance Dems are getting my vote.

@SandySev @souljagoyteller Ethno states are bad. That includes Jewish ones as well as any whatabouts you'll feel the impulse to list.

@Badatnames55 @souljagoyteller Excuse #1

Today in news that’s incredibly obvious

@SandySev @souljagoyteller The vast majority of zionists in the United States are evangelical Christians.

@souljagoyteller "I'm not antisemitic. I just loathed the dirty l, dirty Zionist and their Jew ways."

@fightinbobbyl @ljmontello @mirrorlogician What does the filibuster have to do with the president opposing a policy and announcing that he'll veto it if it gets through Congress?

@ljmontello @mirrorlogician I do it as a public service. leftists really, really struggle with understanding how government works and I want them to do better. when we know better, we do better!

In my lifetime, liberal incrementalism has resulted in the party pushing for single payer in 1993 to telling voters to shut up & be grateful for their unaffordable private insurance under an ACA based on GOP policy in 2026. So maybe tome to admit it's not working.

@KK1550140211127 @RadishTheory @ryanburge “Permanent relationship between the parents” is religion. There is no science to indicate that humans were ever a strictly monogamous species.

@RadishTheory @ryanburge The purpose of the sexual faculty is procreation and unity of the permanent relationship between the parents, and that it culpably trivializes these profound things to try to separate them.

"What about sexual relations between two adults of the same sex?" Here's when the "not wrong at all" crossed the "always wrong" line: Evangelicals: Never Mainline: 2009 Black Protestant: 2023 Catholic: 2009 Other Faith: 2000 No Religion: 1992

@extant_nz @josiahwsutton The Bible literally said that his appearance was unremarkable.

@josiahwsutton He wasn't white but I bet he didn't look like that. Considering that he had a sizable following and started a whole religion I'd bet my bottom dollar he was a good looking fella. Jesus also died at 33 and that guy is at least 40.

It is crazy to me that, when I was a young conservative evangelical, this idea was completely uncontroversial. In fact, I used to think that atheists or liberals insisting that Jesus wasn’t white at us was a strawman; none of us thought he was. At least, none that I knew did.

@NotPotBol Hows is that the Jews doing?

@Xaviette2002 @CantEverDie You’re a piece of shit.

@CantEverDie I work at a storage facility and I got to be the guy who auctioned off all the belongings of an elderly woman who couldn't afford her unit because her only income was social security + doordashing that she did all day long and could barely afford food haha I hate it here

HEARTWARMING: american society forces old grandma to work to her grave to prevent her husband from dying

@Exnhler @djDriverless @dangambardello Its like 3.70

@djDriverless @dangambardello Sorry, but gas in Texas is $2.24

This is the Gulf of America, packed with supertankers racing to load up on US oil. Record exports. Global energy demand is shifting directly to 🇺🇸 Economic boom incoming. Paying attention…

@electric_seals @hecubian_devil This is only relevant if you’re claiming theres an issue with the current measles vaccine.

@hecubian_devil >But where the science it *totally unambiguous*--on the benefits and safety of vaccination, I appreciate you and that parents should have a greater level of control in their children's healthcare, but do read about the history of vaccines. They're both good and bad.

The government won't force you to vaccinate your kids, because we have certain principles about bodily autonomy and parental rights in this country. Even when the results are awful. We still have certain principles about personal choice. But with trans healthcare, there's a huge and growing movement to take away families' rights to make their own medical decisions about this kind of care. Even many liberal and centrist publications and commentators will constantly debate the quality of scientific evidence for youth gender medicine--at worst, the argument seems to be "we're not sure if it works, because there just isn't a lot of high-quality evidence." The implicit argument is that if the science is insufficiently compelling, the state would be justified to remove the liberty of families to make these choices for themselves. That state legislatures, or Congress, would be warranted in making these healthcare choices *for* American families--because the science is ambiguous. But where the science it *totally unambiguous*--on the benefits and safety of vaccination, or the necessity in many emergencies for blood transfusions, we let anti-vaxxers put their children (and other children!) at risk. We let Jehovah's Witnesses deprive their children of lifesaving emergency care. In other words, we are so committed, as a country, to the freedom of families and individuals to make their own choices about their bodies and their healthcare, that we allow them even to make *objectively very bad choices*. Except, apparently, when it comes to transgender healthcare. Here, we make an exception. Here, Congress gets to choose for you. In this one area, you are not to be permitted the freedom to make choices for yourself or your child. The government will tell you what you can and cannot do, as a parent. You're allowed to make medical decisions for your child that result *directly* in their death; but you're not allowed to get them healthcare that you and your child sincerely believe is necessary for their flourishing and health--not if that healthcare challenges people's norms about sex and gender.

@mralpacalips @hecubian_devil It is different you are right. Refusing the vaccine killed a young girl.

@hecubian_devil When the decision to be made is whether to unnecessary castrate your child, it is of a different kind altogether than should you give your child a particular vaccine.

@FLASHGLADDING @AtaaOkai @Aledro54 @smalls2672 @HormuzLetter Whos us? Youre just a peasant like everyone else. Youre a bug to the people making the decisions.

@AtaaOkai @Aledro54 @smalls2672 @HormuzLetter We shall see. Leave such concerns to us

BREAKING: In a direct message to the Trump administration and the US Navy, China's Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun says Chinese ships will continue transiting the Strait of Hormuz through agreements with Iran, and warns the US not to "meddle in our affairs." Also from Dong's statement: 1. Says Chinese ships are currently "moving in and out of the waters of the Strait of Hormuz" 2. Confirms China has existing "trade and energy agreements with Iran" that China will "respect and honor" 3. Explicitly states: "Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and it is open for us," recognizing Iranian sovereignty over transit

@thombrowne28 @pureMetatron Lying is a sin.

@pureMetatron most Catholics don't believe that Jesus is the son of God.

The pope should take time off politics, to study the bible and learn who Jesus Christ was.

@MorrisonMalaise @McWe @Popstonox @hasanthehun Thats not an answer.

@McWe @Popstonox @hasanthehun

Hasan Piker calls out TPUSA for not respecting Charlie Kirk's defense of free speech in trying to cancel his talk at Yale University "They're not carrying the flame"

@TigersTacos_ @frankbumb Its actually a great reason. Our military respecting its subservience to the elected civilian government has been crucial to our democracy.

@frankbumb On one hand, that’s not a great reason. On the other, MacArthur had a list of targets to nuke (30-50 nukes worth,) and wanted to turn a good part of Manchuria into a “belt of radioactive cobalt.” Still, Truman understood that MacArthur was a good general and it wasn’t easy.

“I fired him because he wouldn't respect the authority of the president. That's the answer to that. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals. If it was, 1/2 to 3/4 of them would be in jail.” -Truman

@Jayzsa @AbakiBurns @gem_ste 1/8 men do not play tennis and its not even close.

@AbakiBurns @gem_ste Why is it low ? Maybe only those who play tennis regularly said this ?

Reminded of one of the all time great tweets.
