Why are you seeking out confrontation with pedantic arguments and then calling people rude when they point out you’re an asshole?

Compare his numbers pre-shutdown and during shutdown. And stop being willfully obtuse. No one has time for your shit.

Westfield Center in downtown San Francisco is mostly vacant, too, but not because of crime. Because of Amazon. How is he in commercial real estate and not know this? Then again, he's president and doesn't understand how tarriffs or buying groceries works.

Right before finding out which way SCOTUS comes down on the question of starving millions of children? That's the worst, stupidest time to cave. It's really weird that Dem Senators are posting pretending like they don't know that.

Sheldon Whitehouse absolutely understood what Jackson, J did. 🧵

If SCOTUS actually had ruled against feeding 42 million people, if you need to surrender at that point? they're actually starving millions of children so I accept any Senator saying, 'I will go on a hunger strike, but I can't let them starve four year olds'

We were about to get those court orders 🧵

I think there are a lot of really smart lawyers in the Senate who absolutely did not come away from the stay order believing — genuinely, actually believing — that Justice Jackson would do anything other than maximize the odds the judiciary kept people from going hungry. 🧵

And by caving, i.e. by folding in exchange for nothing meaningful on healthcare, the suffering was done for nothing? The deaths weren't avoided...

I don't think the administrative stay from Justice Jackson was a sign to surrender, quite the opposite. It was smart, strategic, harm reduction 🧵

A bunch of suffering was endured by folks who are all much poorer than any US Senator, in the name of avoiding all those needless health care deaths. Folks were struggling to pay bills, buy food, take care of their families.

Trump / MAGA were correctly getting the blame from the public 🧵

I believe you, but it would be helpful to include a source.

I found a write up by Writers Beware, which is a reliable source and they link to the original post but one has to log in to read it.
