People didn't trust CBS before, and for good reason. It just sounds like people are angry that their failures have resulted in a massive strategic shift.

Do you think perhaps that Schumer is gambling that should a shutdown take hold, Trump & Musk will have a more direct path to destroying agencies from within? We know he doesn't like the CR. No one does. There's obvious reasons for this.

I haven't seen it yet but I remain convinced that in private he's just a miserable human being, and while I don't like him, maybe he should try to be less miserable. He might like being normal. We all may like him more, too.

“If you don’t want to be threatened with violence, stop talking” is what we call doing a fascism.

So, a couple of things. That person is clearly a piece of shit who should be banned to the phantom zone. But that’s a troll. He doesn’t expect anything other than to piss people off. Doesn’t really touch on what we discussed.

Don’t go

so you endorse a heckler's veto? I'm asking sincerely, here. people can wish death and violence on people and you advocate for banning their targets? how does this site succeed if this is how people act?

what is "the culture" here? Because what I've mostly gleaned in my days here is that it's okay to threaten people with violence when they say things we dislike. And you apparently want Bluesky to validate that while booting the targets of the threats.

I had my first group fight on here yesterday with what may be the looniest people I've ever encountered, and I've spent nearly two decades on Twitter and had someone photoshop me into a gas chamber with Trump pushing the button over there.

I knew that if I came here, I may see these again. Absolutely love it. Glad to see you.

Is that Bagel everything?
