I use animosity, but never used the word animus.

Just because a judge ruled against Trump doesn't mean he will obey the law. Why would he start now?

Schumer’s media tour in lieu of his book tour are cementing his downfall and showing that he is out of touch and incompetent, demonstrating the reality to a national television audience. Far more damaging than the angriest people at a neighborhood bookstore. Someone had to do it— thank you.

Gotta find a few other words to use beyond misogyny and bigotry. I was interviewing a maga voter last week and she couldn’t remember the word “fascist”. She literally said “not socialist, the other one” 🤦🏻‍♂️

The tactic of Trump's administration to deny science, deny the humanity of their out-groups (women, non-whites, foreigners, the poor), deny they are subject to the law, deny consequences is deliberate. You can not force a fascist regime on people with the truth.

That’s really bitinglanguage. And we’re seeing a lot of that, like the Seattle federal judge who in rejecting his EO on birthright citizenship, openly questioned the competence of government lawyers.

America, open your eyes! Trump is weakening our nation, helping Putin justify war, and pushing Russian expansion. His absurd claims about taking Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal? Just a distraction. Trump isn’t in charge—Putin is.

Thank you for pushing back on Chuck Schumer and saying what we are all thinking. He didn’t make me feel reassured at all.

cindyrugeley.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Good interview with Sen. Schumer. I do not think he is a bad guy. I think he, like Biden, sees a political world that does not exist anymore. I wish it did. As you stated, his reactions stems from a sincere belief that we aren’t “there yet.” I think we are.

HEAR ME OUT ON THIS: We need czars! The 💩 is being flung at us fast and furious! We can’t respond in any real way to everything all at once. We need groups to attack specific issues/crimes. A DOGE czar, a DEI czar, an immigration czar, a Ukraine czar (no offense). You get my meaning?

Self-serving Chuck Schumer will never acknowledge Palestinian rights or genocidal realities. That was a waste of time.

Aside from that, he doesn't have the backbone for the kind of anti-fascist tactics that I needed today

This was my absolutely favorite though...comparing the annual cost of ALL gender affirming care for ~15k soldiers in one year to, and get this, to the cost of Viagra...and a friend tells me that is JUST the pills and doesn't include any other costs.

Lawyers openly misrepresenting facts to the courts need to be reported to their state boards of professional responsibility. Attorneys have been disbarred for far less, and a disbarred attorney cannot be an attorney. Make the US attorneys office untenable.

Many federal judges have a learning curve and are not letting themselves be bamboozled any more by "contradictions" that are hard to "pin down"

they're learning (as C Savage wrote) to let go of deference to DOJ declarations

I haven’t watched this yet but I plan to. Did he really say that? How demoralizing. I’m starting to think the people will have to lead the politicians out of this tunnel.

jaysoto07.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Yes, thank you for pressing him. It was obvious that you had so much more to say on all the BS he was pedaling. I was sad to see that you let him hawk his book. He is writing and selling a book as the US is crumbling in front of his eyes. We need to hear from young leaders that are willing to fight.
