I never workshop any of my dumb posts. That’s the Elliot Blake™️ social media guarantee.
i'm generally pretty live and let live about social media as long as no one is actively being harmed, but i am never gonna be able to take "collectively workshopped and artisanally-crafted shitposting for cloutmaxing purposes" seriously, i'm sorry
This just seems like the right thing to keep pinned to my profile.

I look at Trump and see a racist piece of crap.
Trump: "I look at Crockett -- this is a very low IQ person. And I look at somebody who comes from Somalia where they don't have anything. All they have is crime."

He knows nothing and has no plan to make any of this insurance he speaks of “better” or less expensive. And who is going to be in the power position when people are “negotiating their own insurance?” Hint: it isn’t you and me.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Yeah, anyone paying attention last week when Republicans laughed off Schumer’s offer to end the shutdown in exchange for a year-long extension of ACA subsidies could see this coming. The GOP wants to kill the ACA, this is how they’re going to do it, and they’re salivating at the chance.

The President pardoned members of his private militia after they failed to overturn an election; they, in turn, pledge their support to him and urge him to use them to police civil society.
New:
On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers
He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command."

www.mediamatters.org/oath-keepers...
![STEWART RHODES (FOUNDER, OATH KEEPERS): And one other thing I want to say is that President Trump, as commander in chief, always has absolute authority to call all of us up as the militia because every one of us — in federal statues defining the militia, it's every able-bodied male from age 17-45. And for us veterans, it goes up to age 64 because of our prior training and experience.
Right now, under federal statutes, President Trump can call us up as the militia if he sees it necessary, especially for three purposes: to repel invasions, to suppress insurrections, and to execute the laws of the union. And right now, we see all three of those in play.
...
And the militia is all of us. So the National Guard is part of the militia, which is why it's completely lawful for him to use the National Guard as he has, and he should do more of that, I think, across the country.
...
He could just say given the circumstances of an invasion, insurrection, and resistance against federal law being being enforced, I'm calling up the militia, ordering all the men to come together [in] every county, put the veterans in charge of training and organizing all the other men and just have them stand too and await his orders. He can do that and I think he should do that. And so that's what I'll be advocating for from him. So from the bottom, from down the rank and file, we can let President Trump know that we're ready to serve, encourage him to do that, call us up as a militia, order us all to come together in our counties under his command, which gives you complete legal sanction to do what you're doing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:af7tqcetuyt352aolf3znlxe/bafkreialm4skuozqobejpd6vx4m6kuwsgtidxmmxvj3ftcff6otiuyohiy@jpeg)

There’s a joke to be made here about the Orioles hobnobbing with the bourgeoisie but I got up at 5:20 this morning and I’m too tired to make it. I give this one to you, baseball Bluesky, with my compliments.
The Orioles are expected to hire Jason Bourgeois as first base coach, two sources said, as they continue to build out the staff around manager Craig Albernaz.
Bourgeois played for the Durham Bulls with Albernaz in 2013.

Durbin understanding that majority leader Thune might screw them over, that he can’t 100% be counted on to keep his word, makes the capitulation even worse.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

That “conservatives” have simply accepted this as the price of admission is the greatest moral and intellectual humiliation.

It is heartening to learn that qualified attorneys who care about the longevity of their careers don’t want to work for the utterly corrupt Trump DOJ.
Since the start of the Trump administration, the Justice Department has lost thousands of experienced attorneys and filled only a fraction of the vacancies amid hiring freezes, delays, and a shortage of qualified candidates.
