I just genuinely worry he’s going to bomb somebody to try to distract from everything.
And it feels like it’s just gonna be LIKE this from now on. Lower and lower levels of hinged from DJT every weekend until the “hinged” is completely “un-“. And/or it just up and Happens. Mid-post, quite possibly.

I think this is a point of view worth keeping in mind when thinking about Patton Oswalt's suspension
Just gotta say as a trans person who gets death threats couched as "jokes", I'm glad that the rules are being applied this way. When mods are left to make subjective decisions about who is joking and who isn't, threats against marginalized ppl go unmoderated and we are told they dont violate the TOS
