And the most appropriate thing ever said about Thomas Felts

I mean yeah, he probably deserves this. But in terms of loyalty to the USA he was above average in the House majority when he got kicked out. Most of the House Rs at the time (and still a whole lot now) had asked the Supreme Court to steal a presidential election

Question: while it undoubtedly does apply here, what are your editorial standards for that word? We have President who also was convicted of felonies AND publicly tried to overturn an election he lost, and yet I've never seen you use that word to describe him?

I haven't seen it but remember him from Dazed and Confused

@margaret.bsky.social @joliehollandmusic.bsky.social What an amazing story that I wish I knew sooner

And it made my heart happy to hear y'all bring up Will Oldham and mention Matewan as if of course everyone knows what it is

Will that go next to the list of traitors who signed onto the Texas v Pennsylvania amicus brief who got a total free pass for it from the media?

I mean

It's rich that it came from these huge traitors

But you're part of why we're in this mess

With your "Kevin McCarthy should still be Speaker even though he attempted a coup" vote

Lesser traitors like you are still traitors

He either never got to decide who he played for, or maybe once as a minor. "Loyalty" means "letting the team that you were sent to, who underpaid you this year by tens of millions of dollars, underpay you by tens, or maybe hundreds, of millions of dollars more for the rest of your career"?

Are those thoughts that he didn't choose to go to the Yankees and be underpaid, and that he doesn't owe them, or you, giving evil billionaires a discount larger than the entire amount of money you and I will probably make in our entire lives?

Worked pretty well so far with Lindor

Did they open their books? Do they not have a track record of continually lying about their finances? Maybe they can't afford it, but it seems insane to take their word for it

Here is the full list of teams who could verifiably not pay that amount:

Cheney betrayed the country in '21. We would be a stronger party if we treated traitors as radioactive

Or maybe 2nd biggest downside after not being able to buy them at the local shop

I haven't done this yet but I've been continually thinking about how the biggest downside of ebooks for me is I can't lend someone else my copy of a book usually, and if I did that through circumventing something I'd probably feel ok about it

Really want to say something about "yeah, the real Americans" but holding my tongue

And if you are voting for Trump, please unfriend me. Anyone who would threaten my family -- and make no mistake, that's what you're going -- you are NOT my friend

If you're thinking of voting for Trump, stay home. And if you already have, it's not too late in most states. You can go to the polls and spoil your absentee one and cast a patriotic one instead

Please, if you can, step up your game. If you're already volunteering, can you take one more shift? If you've already voted for Kamala, can you reach out to friends? If you haven't voted yet, can you please vote for Kamala?

The one who betrayed the country the last time he was president
