Democrats: “Nazis are deplorable”

The US Media: “why do Democrats attack Americans?” (All US media proceed to speak about it nonstop for months)

Republicans: “you poors can go fuck yourselves and die.”

The US Media: “why do Democrats attack Americans? Did you know Biden is old?”

Oh, look❗ Now she's on NYT❗😂

The GOP literally wants more people to die, particularly sick, disabled, and elderly. More for them.

Of course you're right. But at this point, "Can you imagine if X, Y or Z sane person did or said what x, y or z maga/repub just did or said" arguments seem futile. ☹️

Funny, that's exactly what corporate Democrats who don't give a sh*t about the uninsured or under insured basically say when asked why Americans are dying because of lack of health care insurance.

duannied.bsky.social•1 day ago

Did anyone even thank Ernst?

renderjudgment.bsky.social•1 day ago

I mean, we'll be lucky if it's in any news to begin with.

theeedge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Seems Joni found a way into her own 'squad', which is the death squad.

goodboypilgrim.bsky.social•1 day ago

Every time you think they can't get worse, they don't. They just get more blatant.

martygabriel.bsky.social•1 day ago

(319) 365-4504 is her phone number. feel free to call her up, tell her what a disgrace she is, and that if we're all going to die, she may lead the pack.

nanabanana37.bsky.social•11 hours ago

You first, Joni.

jonathanmlewis.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not out of our thoughts, however.

pelledge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Will outlets like the Times or the Post even mention it?

jibbledibble.bsky.social•1 day ago

it is so disgusting: full stop. however, her constituents need to vote her out of office. that's the answer to this sort of depravity directed at the people of the great state of Iowa.

orangecrusher.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wouldn’t even wait to vote her out. Call for her impeachment now.

victorytwin.bsky.social•1 day ago

The thought doesn’t cross anyone’s mind that has any sense of humanity side it’s not exclusive to the Democrats

sakaribaby.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nope not out of the news - Iowans are pissed off

qlm326.bsky.social•1 day ago

Instead of being Defense Secretary(like people once talked about) Jody Ernst 🤔 wants to be in charge of the death panels

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•22 hours ago

MSNBC has been reporting it all day. Her Democratic opponent will need to cut ads with her vile comment before the election.

kdawg.com•1 day ago

If it was to a MAGA crowd, they wouldn't care. They are the same ones who wouldn't wear a mask and said "maybe grandma & grandpa need to die".

This is where not having a captive propaganda network hurts Dems. Fox played Obama’s “guns and religion” soundbite on the hour every hour for weeks.
There is no entity to push repetition like that for Dems.

wvrnsson.bsky.social•1 day ago

It better not be out of the news anytime soon.

canucklynn.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just like blackwater camps and disappearing people and a golden jet and attacking foreign leaders and Gaza is a night club and DOGE and bombing and signal gate and incompetent cabinet and ... all the other shit no one thinks about any more.

wvrnsson.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well they do so much shit that it's hard to keep track of it all and keep reminding people but something needs to be done

jeffhyde2284.bsky.social•1 day ago

2 methods of dying, by Sicknesses & Infections, or by a #CivilWar2, this is how the MAGA Chuds & MAGA Cult want it.

happybeachvibes.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe the @thedemcoalition.bsky.social could seriously invest in Iowa in the 2026 with a great ground game she is definitely vulnerable to losing her Senate seat @iowademocrats.bsky.social

t2indc.bsky.social•1 day ago

Or they could invest in a TV ad immediately, use this clip and rally folks to call their Senators and tank Trumps Big Beautiful Bill.

lesterryan.bsky.social•1 day ago

We don’t have to go to far. The right created a crisis around “death panels” during the Obamacare debate.

yep. we keep failing esp since we have dems who suck at comms

and yes, a lot of this will be on us to amplify, etc - but it can't just be up to "us"

cattypie.bsky.social•1 day ago

Can we all scream about death panels now?

dpretj.bsky.social•1 day ago

The bend over backwards double standard ass kissing they give the GOP, but somehow it’s the liberal media.

madgreek2024.bsky.social•1 day ago

She earned this today.

joostgarden.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well, she’s from Iowa, a state whose STATE FLOWER is toilet paper in a bramble bush.

joohcool.bsky.social•1 day ago

And Iowa will vote her right back in. Very frustrating

mariepluscats.bsky.social•1 day ago

I mean they were up in arms about death panels when Democrats suggested Obamacare include end of life consultations for the elderly

Now not so fast: I'm sure we'll get some coverage in the coming days from MSM along the lines of:

"Senator Ernst made a controversial statement about welfare cuts. Why this is bad news for Biden, Harris, AOC, HRC, Obama, Bill Clinton and the Democrats".

xeskals13.bsky.social•1 day ago

For some of us like trans refugeesMedicaid means life or death. When a senator says ‘we’re all gonna die’ to justify cuts, she’s not speaking to her rich donors. She’s speaking to people like me. And the message is clear: our lives don’t matter to her.

t2indc.bsky.social•1 day ago

Please stop invoking a democrat when making a point about a republican. It immediately distracts from the Republican and places the focus on the wrong party. Just double down on Ernst. There’s plenty of material to work with.

corejno.bsky.social•1 day ago

But liiike… how else will billionaires become trillionaires if they have to pay taxes?

piercepresley.bsky.social•1 day ago

If whoever ends up running against her doesn't include that snippet between every campaign ad and the "I approved..." boilerplate, that'll be like Biff from Back to the Future having the sports almanac and picking the Raiders to win last year's super bowl.

iggiemom.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m torn. I think there is additional context that is being left out.

Yet I remember what Republicans do every day to so many people. Particularly Joe Biden.

I’m torn. My momma taught me that what other people do is what other people do. I was expected to do right.

MAGA and Dems have two vastly different sets of rules.

mauralinas.bsky.social•1 day ago

With that attitude, she becomes an executioner. She has a vote that could prevent deaths and doesn’t seem to have interest in using it.

Needs to go into a campaign ad right away.

Out of the news maybe, but I predict it'll get a metric shit ton of air time come the midterms.

moderntrumpet.bsky.social•1 day ago

Too much chaos. Too many lies to keep up with - their strategy

fdsj.bsky.social•1 day ago

At least she didn't propose a death panel.

canucklynn.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was thinking about that sane thing. At one point the GOP fought ANY discussion of terminal sedation or medical assistance in dying DISCUSSIONS. This inevitability of all life, could not even be mentioned as a humane way for people to die with dignity. And now...
