"and I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids."

sillythecat.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ngl but it looks like Radiofree had a lot of skeletons in the closet!

Holy smokes... shooting your friends in the back? That is pretty low!!
I wish I had known about that sooner!

kingsco.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sparring with (checks notes) joker2101? Is he really worth one synapse?

canuckgjh.bsky.social•7 days ago

it may of been "the best economy in the world"...

but it wasn't working for everyone.

and it will be worse with Trump.

jocolorado.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes nobody more against democracy and the constitution than you, Tom. For shame

karennotakaren.bsky.social•6 days ago

@radiofreetom.bsky.social loves Kolchak:The Night Stalker which makes him totally pro democracy and pro Constitution in my eyes. Just in a really weird roundabout kinda way 🤷🏼‍♀️

konstantinjace.bsky.social•7 days ago

A shallow, unsustainable ruse for so many years, Tom - how did you hope to get away with it all?

bru26.bsky.social•7 days ago

Well this person does go by the name Joker

rakista.bsky.social•7 days ago

The current US Constitution is barely holding us together.

What about a 2nd American Constitutional Convention - with 50%+ women?

America has foundational issues, and we need to fix our shit.

Want to hear an audio drama about this? It's called Article Five and is available wherever you get your podcasts.

rstevenson262.bsky.social•7 days ago

A little research is just too much trouble for some anymore, Tom.

mariesflowers.bsky.social•7 days ago

Also, thanks for letting us know who to block in advance. Your work is why I subscribe to The Atlantic.

gozermac.bsky.social•7 days ago

I guess the joker21 is on you?

shoutingboy.bsky.social•7 days ago

I mean, I’m still for the Constitution, but I gotta admit this whole “democracy“ thing is not covering itself in glory lately

truckeeman.bsky.social•7 days ago

It has certainly validated Republican beliefs that the people are too stupid to vote.

poliorcetes.bsky.social•7 days ago

Can we do Democracy but without all the people?

dwarkmke.bsky.social•7 days ago

Have we considered employing watery tarts and supplying them with scimitars to distribute?

Always knew it when you prefaced your remarks by saying your views do not in any way reflect the positions of the NWC.

ellenbraaten.bsky.social•7 days ago

Do people not know google exists? And that you don’t need a library card to access?

misscherryjones.bsky.social•7 days ago

Which is also free, so

ellenbraaten.bsky.social•7 days ago

That too!

greatgoogly-moogly.bsky.social•7 days ago

I didn’t realize one had to be on somebody’s “team” to tell the truth about them. Are there other truths you aren’t telling us because they’re about somebody on a team other than your own?

philderiverina.bsky.social•7 days ago

You'll be working for WaPo as Bezo's personal Editorial Editor soon 😂👍

muttsylvania.bsky.social•7 days ago

Those of us who aren't subscribers will never learn the truth but I always give the benefit of the doubt to men who like cats.

queenbeejdl.bsky.social•7 days ago

He did give a lot of gift articles but they were obviously the ones that went to the articles where he pretended to be pro Biden, pro democracy, anti Trump and anti Musk. And pro cat.

muttsylvania.bsky.social•7 days ago

Aha thank you Queen.

nkalog.bsky.social•7 days ago

You’re the best Tom. I always look forward to reading your work.

jessicai917.bsky.social•7 days ago

Not for nothing but you also kinda *were* Team Biden, as I recall…

gordomac.bsky.social•7 days ago

Never heard of you

hollybug76.bsky.social•6 days ago

I seem to remember reading one of the books (Our Own Worst Enemy) you wrote that disputes this.

Hiding in plain sight🤣

clairecloutier.bsky.social•7 days ago

😆😁

markwest63.bsky.social•6 days ago

Just more that they have not read

compensating.bsky.social•7 days ago

I don't think any person paying the slightest attention would accuse you of not supporting democracy and the Constitution.

Its my assertion that you will oppose democrats in all situations.

scottbrews.bsky.social•7 days ago

Finally, someone sniffed this out and brought it into the light of day! The next revelation about Tom?!?

He’s firmly on team dog and a rabid anti-cat person!

kchaiag.bsky.social•7 days ago

Wait till they hear about your takes on indian food and student loans.

fitforpurpose.bsky.social•7 days ago

I just love it when people explain to you that politics is really simple…

tink51.bsky.social•7 days ago

Tom, you seem to be teamless.

coopersfriend.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ditch that guy

markadenny.bsky.social•7 days ago

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

melanierestall1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Is joker joking or is joker a joke?

salentoq.bsky.social•7 days ago

I knew it since you spoke against Indian food

kbjornolaoghraigh.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ah yer grand. I wouldn’t fret over a few gobshites that don’t get the point of proper discourse

annporterla.bsky.social•7 days ago

On the one hand, when you see something, say something. On the other hand, Team Biden had ONE job.

lalafrane.bsky.social•7 days ago

Well, this is disappointing.

savvymegs.bsky.social•4 days ago

LOL

i feel like I remember you being team biden before it was cool

bumborassclth.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sometimes I honestly don’t know which side you are on. So there is that.

southpawgirl.bsky.social•7 days ago

Once again, Tom, do you use a jedi mind trick to seek out these people?

wanderingvoron.bsky.social•7 days ago

That was some crazy crap...
Joker blocked, I don't really need to interact with that in the future

theogjt.bsky.social•7 days ago

Zeppelin fans. What can you do?.?.

cbsson.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah. I was recently called anti-American because I believed that the US should follow its treaty obligations with trading partners and follow the law.

How dare I question Dear Leader's actions.

crookjennie.bsky.social•7 days ago

I'm sure that you're devastated by joker's critique.

shuckabeeblutarsky.bsky.social•7 days ago

The truth is going to come out that you were really always allied with Nikolai Volkoff and The Iron Sheik.

misscherryjones.bsky.social•7 days ago

I *KNEW* you were sketchy since the first time we met

realwingshavebones.bsky.social•7 days ago

Mr. Joker has more followers than posts 🤔

I bet the joker makes a point of NOT watching your MSNBC appearances :-)

winternal.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Useless pos ! 👎🏻

srkinmn.bsky.social•7 days ago

OMG Tom was the one always touting how great the economy was during Biden and there was always a liberal contingency rebutting with 'but its not really a good economy because...'.

laurajtreetalker.bsky.social•7 days ago

I guess they think "Freedom of Speech" should only apply to them.

Can't speak for Tom but that certainly sounds like Brett Stephens....

tombucsfan.bsky.social•7 days ago

I am tired of posters threatening allies I do not always agree with but who are generally on my side against Trump. It is how you build majorities. In the 80s I had hawks on USSR that supported the nuclear freeze and the Boland amendment but were to the right of us on most foreign policy issues.

tombucsfan.bsky.social•7 days ago

BTW, We had people that hated Alan Cranston for voting for the B-1 bomber even though he was left of most every Senator on peace issues. The Union of Concerned Scientists and the Coalition for Peace and Justice were not going to flush him down the drain for one vote.

musk-sticks.bsky.social•7 days ago

So, apparently, everyone knows about your Spectre membership. I'm still waiting on that invite to your volcano lair.

map60.bsky.social•7 days ago

Offs. So many idiots who are not helping. Tom is one of the best guys on our side.

greypony25.bsky.social•7 days ago

Asshats.
