go heckle a Republican once

Washington Consensus Friedman Chicago Boys Neoliberalism is literally fascist. Rawlsian Social Liberalism is explicitly anti-fascist.

folks in bahrain texting re high alert prior to attack… also picked up by Milli Chronicle ahead of time. so no surprise to top brass nor potus[sic] as you’re saying millichronicle.com/2025/06/u-s-...

the kids don’t know Rawlsian liberals are the opposite of neoliberals

“arrested” means reading of rights according to initial protocol of habeas corpus. he was detained without habeas corpus. which is worse. stop saying ARRESTED

"theatre"
comment in response to post
his office says he's no longer detained. was not arrested (in which case detained without reading of rights is probably WORSE). yeah, officially fascists bsky.app/profile/kyle...

definitely not the moment to punch down on a Democrat guy. if that’s your instinct—that you see the Republican Party acting like Pinochet or Putin and raise your voice against another Democratic Senator—maybe put the phone down for a few days thanks

his performance here is so weird but in a familiar way. it’s like he’s smiling through every other sneer… half in-character, half amused by his own display. it’s identical to kids with whom i’ve grown up, play-acting their favorite heel persona from professional wrestling… except they were 11?

i’ve yet to see substantial material fallout from the spat… wouldn’t be surprised if that was pure Putinesque political theater in advance of this Title 10 play (or in advance of Friday’s overshadowed cybersecurity EO that will ostensibly protect them both)

i remember you floating candidates a year ago when the formation broke

this really helps the cause today thnx
comment in response to post
i’m assuming this helps Musk as well… puts Thursday’s Putinesque performative “feud” between the two in a clearer light
comment in response to post
their “feud” is a distraction. he just passed an Executive Order Friday insulating himself and Elon from their electronic election interference but no one saw it because they were posting feud memes. pure Russian-style political theater and most Americans are falling for it.

they were taken over. it’s illegal without invoking the Insurrection Act. u saying this is legally but secretly sanctioned by Newsom?

cops: “lifelong” is one word

gosh i wonder which ex-cop we should ask about this www.wbaltv.com/article/nich...
comment in response to post
so at this point it looks solely like an exercise in Putinesque political theater… at least until there’s material fallout. sure Tesla took a dip but both parties could have easily shorted for profit.
comment in response to post
moderately off-topic but just noting that contemporary fauxgressives believe that liberalism and neoliberalism are the same thing almost as if they’ve never read a page of John Rawls
