@Alosalo443846 @juliush34 @nathanTbernard Show me where in this conversation I said this was ok or good.

@PolNinjaTrekkie @juliush34 @nathanTbernard Get fucked hypocrite. With something hard and sandpapery

Janet Mills surrogates are announcing they will not vote for Platner if he is the Democratic nominee. Apparently the tent is only big enough for Schumer's hand-picked candidates.
English
@BraedenSorbo Dems need to learn from this: never hire republicans on bipartisan commissions again. It doesn’t matter how bland they sound. They will still try to kill you.
English
@AckTeacher @IlvesToomas Conservative crybabies tried to impeach Warren, Fortas, and Douglas. They threw tantrums when Brown was decided. We are lucky they never had a strong majority in congress at the time or the court would have found Nixon to be able to declare what the law is.
English
@IlvesToomas I’m so sick of democrats attacking the justices. We had a liberal court for decades and never once did republicans attack the court or threaten to pack the court - it’s so gutter.

Jesus.

@PensFan07x @ianmSC She was on the court when Roe v Wade was decided?
English
@ianmSC Also, I find it interesting that there were never leaks from the Supreme Court until "after" her appointment.
English
It really is remarkable how Ketanji Brown Jackson votes exclusively based on her political ideology with zero concern whatsoever for interpreting the laws and ruling on that basis. There’s no difference between having her or a random left wing influencer on the Supreme Court.
Jonathan Turley@JonathanTurley
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has issued another sole stinging dissent. In a 7-2 decision (with liberal justice Elena Kagan joining the majority), the Court upheld the authority of police to make a stop based on the totality of the circumstances...

@sisqohoncho Mamdani’s viral moment was calling Andrew Cuomo a rapist and bigot and spelling his name after Cuomo kept pronouncing it wrong. What about that is “joy”?
English
running on joy is bad unless Mamdani does it

The Onion has successfully landed a deal to take over Alex Jones' site after 17 months of legal issues.
Tim Heidecker will serve as the site's creative director.

@KTforBiden @NYPoliticalMom Sounds like you are angry because someone who agrees with you on 90% of the issues disagreed with you on who to vote for in a primary, and you believe that this should allow you to not support them over someone you disagree with everything on 🤷
English
@PolNinjaTrekkie @NYPoliticalMom And who the fuck cares that some Dem-hating ass socialist didn’t get endorsed?
No Dem should be endorsing someone who worked AGAINST THE PARTY to help elect trump
English
This is what people are pissed about?
HE IS 100% CORRECT!!
Sounds to me like...what's the phrase? Oh...hit dogs holler.
You're pissed because he's talking about you.
best of kamala harris@archivekamala
.@CoryBooker: “You may disagree with her [Kamala Harris] on 10% of her views, but you let someone get in office who you disagree with on everything. You let somebody get in office who is locking up our children. You let somebody in office who is taking away our healthcare.”
English
@Vibutler_ Great, so you can see how it applies here too
English
@PolNinjaTrekkie McMorrow compared Hasan to Fuentes. Not Abdul
English
@Vibutler_ Oh, so it’s not explicitly anymore. Now it’s implied by a “general disparagement.”
Do you consider it a disparagement to compare your opponent to a neo nazi, btw?
English
@PolNinjaTrekkie I think it’s supported by the same snarky comments he made against Whitmer in 2018. And his general disparagement of McMorrow this whole campaign
English
@Vibutler_ Right, and your reading isn’t actually supported in substance by any word he said.
English
@PolNinjaTrekkie I simply think we have two different readings of his snarky comment.
English
@Vibutler_ Yeah so there’s nothing you can point to about him talking about her emotional state explicitly. I’ll agree that you are alleging something that you can’t find any facts supporting.
English
@PolNinjaTrekkie Agree to disagree. No point in this back and forth
English
@Vibutler_ “That’s what you get” seems to be referencing her loud band, not really her emotional state.
English
@Vibutler_ How so? Isn’t it more disparaging her for what she doesn’t have (a message) and not really for what she is doing to cover up the fact that she doesn’t have a message?
English
@Vibutler_ What does that explicitly say about joy.
English
@PolNinjaTrekkie “That’s what you get when you don’t have a message” in reference to her having a band
English
@Vibutler_ What explicit words did he use to say what you think means “I hate joy.” Quote them,
English
@PolNinjaTrekkie I think one can be clearly stating something without using exact words yes
English
@Vibutler_ You said he was being explicit. Do you think explicit means “reading between the lines”?
English
@PolNinjaTrekkie I guess being able to actually read between the lines is a skill not everyone possesses
English
@Vibutler_ He was disappointed that she didn’t have a message. What part of that says “I hate joy”? Use specific references to what he said (“quotes”), not this bizarre ESP argument.
English
@PolNinjaTrekkie No I think he’s pretty explicitly disparaging her for coming into the convention with joy instead of being bitter
English
@Coldestmain Yeah man why didn’t they spend time on a plot point about leaking compound V to tank share prices or note in a recent episode how former CEOs behind the scenes are scheming to get back in power when homelander is finished. What missed opportunities.
English
Its always "kill homelander" but never "destroy Vought International" Vought is a disgusting problematic company that makes comp V nearly everyday to drug people for their profits & margins. If The Boys focused on industrial sabotage then their would definitely be bigger stakes.

Someone said "McMorrow is a normal progressive during a time in which most progressives are anything but normal" and I think that's exactly right.
Like she just comes off as a likeable, affable, down-to-Earth person at a moment in which most progs are performative assholes.

Mallory McMorrow walked into the second half of today's convention flanked by DrumKINGZ and a whole lot of supporters. Many are calling it McMentum.
