He-Hulk: Attorney at Law 🪷 🐝

@LeftyWinter This has been in every Democratic platform for over a century. The infamous out of context Joe Biden quote where he said “nothing will change” was him telling a room full of rich people that their lives would be the same if he raised their taxes

Y'all are only saying this because of Zohran. LMFAO. Release the 2024 Autopsy report.

@george_soyros @MattZeitlin Hey man, this was a prearranged bit and the guy was in on the joke (in fact, he suggested it). You might want to pick a different battle.

@MattZeitlin That's obviously a lie. But you don't care about this because you're a liberal Zionist and think Biden is a fundamentally decent and honest man who made some mistakes. As if the corn pop story is the only thing Biden has ever said. He's a shameless liar and a hack

He does look like Obama though….this always happens, the weirdest stuff Biden says and does turns out to be true

The Pope hasn’t waded into political waters! The only time he has even mentioned Trump by name is when specifically asked a question about him. All the Pope did was say we should promote peace, which popes have said for decades if not centuries. These are hit dogs hollering

@BK_McCallum @PETEKEELEY @AnnaBower That isn’t control or weaponizing. Millions of people might have “similar interest,” whatever that means.

@PETEKEELEY @AnnaBower I believe that the FBI and Biden had similar interest.

This report on the “Biden Administration’s Weaponization of the FACE Act” repeatedly cites conduct that occurred…during the first Trump administration.

@BK_McCallum @AnnaBower However much control Trump had, Biden had even less. The report isn’t titled,“How the Deep State Went Rogue on Trump”—it instead attributes actions to an administration that did not exist at the time.

@AnnaBower Do you believe that Trump had real control over the IC and FBI at any point in his first administration?

Yes, he really said that. Yesterday Vice President JD Vance criticized Pope Leo XIV for not knowing enough theology: "I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology ... If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth," he said, at a Turning Point conference. One of the many, many, ironies about that statement is that it came in response to Pope Leo's comments about war and peace and, specifically, the concept of "just war," which originated with St. Augustine. As many have already noted, when the Vice President was making his comments, Pope Leo XIV, a member of the Augustinian Order, and twice Prior General of the Augustinians before his election as Pope, was visiting the hometown of St. Augustine, then called "Hippo," now in Annaba, a town in modern-day Algeria. For good measure, Pope Leo XIV, the man critiqued for insufficient theological education, earned not only a master's degree in divinity, but also licentiate and a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. JD Vance's recent conversion to Catholicism is beside the point, because many converts are of course not only highly intelligent (and learned in theology) but faithful and energetic Catholics. We rejoice over everyone entering the church. What most of us do not rejoice over, however, is a deadly combination of inaccuracy and hubris. Pace, Vice President Vance, but the current war in Iran is not a just war under Catholic doctrine. You can hear that from church leaders from across the theological spectrum, from Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the head of the military vicariate and former head of the @USCCB, to Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington who holds doctorates in both theology and political science. You can look all that up online. Suffice to say, the Vice President doesn't seem to understand the tenets of just war. Nor does he seem to understand the fundamental position of the church, which is for peace. "War is always a defeat for humanity," as St. John Paul II said. If that authority isn't enough, then turn to Jesus who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers," not "Blessed are the warmongers." And after the Resurrection, the Risen Christ says to the frightened disciples not "Vengeance is mine" but "Peace be with you." Incidentally, the day before, the Vice President said that the Pope (and the Vatican) should stick to teaching about morality, also seeming to forget that war and peace are profoundly moral issues. For his part, Pope Leo was focused yesterday on his spiritual father, St. Augustine. After what seemed like an emotional visit to Hippo, he celebrated Mass at the Basilica of St. Augustine in Annaba. During his homily he said, "The primary task of pastors as ministers of the Gospel is therefore to bear witness to God before the world with one heart and one soul, not permitting our concerns to lead us astray through fear, nor trends to undermine us through compromise." Amen. Let's all continue to pray for the Holy Father as he works for peace. (Image: Pope Leo XIV prays at the archeological ruins of Hippo, home of St. Augustine, in current-day Algeria. CNS photo).

It’s cool how Republicans think the Biden administration took place entirely in 2022.

"Trump still seems to believe that negotiations he has as president are basically the same as strong-arming a small business into giving him a better deal on some new curtains for one of his hotels. Preparation, understanding, and patience are for the weak; all he needs is to show is that he’s the dominant one, and his opponent will capitulate. Even when the strategy fails, he learns nothing." publicnotice.co/p/trump-failed…

There was a revolt on the left when people *thought* the Dems were doing this with Chorus (they weren’t). It is important to people that Democrats (usually called “the DNC”) aren’t involved in turning the left into “paid shills,” and this dynamic doesn’t exist on the right.

@atrupar Also, this is the same crowd that wants everyone to memorize the Ten Commandments and pray before science class (which they think is fake and gay because it doesn’t teach creationism). You asked for religion in government, dudes!

JD Vance advises the Vatican to stay out of US politics

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” propublica.org/article/russ-v…

@ryansatin Tagline: “Time to make Big Apple marmalade”

I read this as one title and got hyped af

@LadyAliBooks @SketchesbyBoze Specifically, the above link uses “Black diaspora” to describe people in Latin America and the Caribbean, which obviously includes the West Indies.

@LadyAliBooks @SketchesbyBoze That is a different issue. Whether Africans prefer to call themselves African doesn’t mean that when someone refers to Black people they only mean Americans. They could be referring to anyone in the diaspora: wearecasa.org/afrodiaspora/

Several folks in my mentions said they quit watching the new Count of Monte Cristo because it features black actors. My friend, you are going to be shocked when you learn the ethnicity of Alexander Dumas.

@LadyAliBooks @SketchesbyBoze The tweet said “black actors,” not “African American actors.” “Black” can include all sorts of non-Americans of African descent.

@SketchesbyBoze You are going to be shocked when you find out he didn't really write the books by himself AND west indian isn't african american lmao

@MhmmitsG @SoloDoloUne @queerBengali That’s because people rushed to defend him when one Democrat criticized him. The obsession started with the people who insisted that Democrats were making a grave error by icing him out, nearly all of whom were fellow podcasters circling the wagons. It’s the whole problem

@SoloDoloUne @queerBengali It’s a good thing he’s a literal streamer. The outrage cycle has been wildly disproportionate to the amount of influence he has. You all look silly for obsessing over it and making him bigger than he otherwise would have been

Ok but I don’t. And I think Mallory should have been able to criticize Hasan Piker without causing a three week conversation that causes so many pundits to bootlick Hasan. What Hasan wants is the ability to critique Dems non stop and for Dems to not say FU. And that’s not an arrangement I endorse

@kai__meadows @Wilson__Valdez @coryballs I think he’s asking for a clip of him saying this.

@Wilson__Valdez @coryballs He talked about it on stream, what are you even asking?

One of my major beefs with Hasan and the people in his orbit is they just say shit. They make zero effort to tie it to reality. This statement does not even slightly square with his actual behavior one bit. We had a chance to crush the fascist Republicans last election. Donald Trump would have finally been held accountable for his crimes. The country would not have embraced fascism. Millions of vulnerable people would not be harmed. And what did Hasan do? He spent all of his time attacking Democrats and demotivating people from voting for the anti-fascist party. And now that the fascist one and we have a "Nazi" President, he wants to say "oh well Democrats are not doing enough to fight the fascists." It's peak gaslighting. People begged him to stop lying about Kamala and Democrats before the election and he refused.

@ok_post_guy George Conway is running to be my Congressional representative—as a Democrat.

Importantly, a number of Never-Trumpers just *are* Dems now. If the party or specific candidates are taking positions that are influenced by them it's because THEY JOINED THE PARTY FIRST It's amazing to me how entitled the left are about a party they want no part of

@Wilson__Valdez @neeratanden George Conway is running to be my Congressional representative—as a Democrat.

@neeratanden And it's not even close.

The Never-Trumpers treat the Democratic party a lot better than Piker does.
