Gawd this is so spot on.

anorrinradd.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think they're both trying to lean into the general population for a future Federal race.

bluebirdofunhap.bsky.social•3 days ago

To a certain extent I think Witmer has to do that for a state race. People act like MI is blue, not purple.

I am baffled by the latest moves by Big Gretch.

If you kiss the ring you get the sting!

Bernie being jilted in favor of Hillary will go down as more harmful than 9/11 in history

beachboysgoat.bsky.social•3 days ago

You honestly think Bernie would have won the general election? He would have lost by twice what Hillary did and maybe more.

capillariancrest.bsky.social•3 days ago

We will never know. And I do think he’d’ve won but it’s all academic anyway

darth2024.bsky.social•3 days ago

Even if he won, every move would have been blocked or delayed by R's and some D's too.

aozora-aonami.bsky.social•3 days ago

You can never out-Trump Trump.

darbyorr.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nailed it.

Too much on target. It hurts.

lizamazel.bsky.social•3 days ago

oh wait. this is a bot isn’t it.

lizamazel.bsky.social•3 days ago

you know this is a satire account right? generally not the place you go for “constructive criticism”

Newsom is my gov & my constructive criticism for him is to shut his fucking gob and go back to at least gesturing at “Trump proofing” us, ideally by finding use for the Nat’l Guard before Trump.

dblapins.bsky.social•3 days ago

Gretchen was there to discuss Michigan and the auto industry. She had no idea she would get sucked into that photo op.

I live in Michigan and it’s already effecting a lot of people. If she hadn’t t gone. She would have been criticized for not doing enough.

martinstett.bsky.social•3 days ago

She's faced off with him before, but now . . . what's the use of a futile gesture? Retreat, regroup, counterattck.

dblapins.bsky.social•3 days ago

I guess you forgot they tried to kidnap and kill her a few yrs ago. She’s got balls to even go!

jemm33.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly!

hoopaholik91.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Maine governor figured out a way to be in the same room as Trump without looking like a lackey.

dblapins.bsky.social•3 days ago

She wasn’t in the Oval Office. Jesus. Get your story straight. She wasn’t having a one on one with a trump about her state.

Not even close to a comparison.

bluebirdofunhap.bsky.social•3 days ago

Unfortunately, she was during the Asian carp bill signing. Also I believe she met with him and some GOP state senator, also that's just something "I heard on the internet."

dblapins.bsky.social•3 days ago

She has a news conference before she left. She mentioned a lot of things she would be doing and discussing. This was one of the items.

bonniebouman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Unfortunately, she was definitely in the Oval Office, probably for an hour as Trump lied, mocked people, signed multiple executive orders, and denigrated American values including free speech and legal representation. And took questions from the press.

dblapins.bsky.social•2 days ago

What is your point ? You don’t like her ? Ok. Don’t vote for her. Like I asked do you live in Michigan. Do you know how politics is there ?

bonniebouman.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'll vote for her. I also write to her and say, ~I am disappointed to see you there because I would like you (and Sen. Slotkin, and Schumer, and all our leaders) to OPPOSE Trump and Co, not encourage or appear to endorse his actions.

jemm33.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nah, that’s not it. Listen to Dana Nessel being asked about finding common ground with trump.

lavamonster.bsky.social•3 days ago

The best case then is that she got totally played. Still not a great look.

forgottenman222.bsky.social•3 days ago

Interesting. Thank you @dblapins.bsky.social

feliatrix.bsky.social•3 days ago

Uh huh

Satire no longer possible.

carinachocano.bsky.social•3 days ago

This man is 45 years old. 45! Don’t be evil, kids.

sonnydrysdale.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can't wait for that ripe melon of a head explodes from all his big thoughts.

carinachocano.bsky.social•3 days ago

Seriously. Not to ugly-shame but JFC what happened here?

carinachocano.bsky.social•3 days ago

“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly.” Roald Dahl, The Twits

kendouble.bsky.social•3 days ago

Rumour that Ross and JD Vance are the same person.

carinachocano.bsky.social•3 days ago

They sure do look alike and emit the same repellent vibe

scathach2.bsky.social•3 days ago

Naïveté

fightingforjus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Neither one was going to be President anyway. People expected to be President never actually become President. Clinton, Obama and even Trump were never predicted to be President years ahead of time.

numbcat9.bsky.social•3 days ago

By the entire Democratic Party.

kmr-kevin.bsky.social•3 days ago

omg, Whitmer too? What is happening?!?

turbulantjuice.bsky.social•3 days ago

Damn it this one is too good

mathdemocrat.bsky.social•3 days ago

Complaining because your candidate didn't win the primary because they were less popular than the eventual nominee and trying to say that the fact that they weren't the nominee is worse than 9/11 is pure insanity.

mathdemocrat.bsky.social•3 days ago

Constructive criticism of specific Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer for a more or less specific reason is a good thing and I support it. Dragging the entire party while not engaging in constructive criticism is destructive, only helps Trump, and I oppose it.

hieronymusblue.bsky.social•3 days ago

Imagine being Mrs Douthat and having that slimy slug of a monster climb on top of you once every year or so.

etienneguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

On another note, Whitmer and Newsom are teaming up on a new Podcast called "It ain't Gonna be Me."

42eyes2ears.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't give 2 fucks what they have to say to win, just do it.

stunts404.bsky.social•36 minutes ago

I do because if you adopt your rival’s beliefs and mannerisms to win, that doesn’t really feel like winning; just capitulation.

boarden.bsky.social•3 days ago

Honestly the Dems need to at least adopt some of their tactics. They still think they can win if they playing by the rules.

notrebecca.bsky.social•2 days ago

Dems need to start controlling the narrative: trash talk MAGA on every platform.

boarden.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes. I’m talking Tan Suit levels of outrage.

normanstrasburg.bsky.social•3 days ago

NYT: “The problem with Democrats is that they’re not Republican enough.”

markoftheeast.bsky.social•3 days ago

Next guess on the Gavin Newsom podcast: Trump’s tariffs “Listen, Tariffs, great to have you here. My son loves you. What I appreciate about you is, while we don’t agree on everything, we do agree that the problem isn’t tariffs, it’s the Left’s demonizing of them. Killing America more each day.”

mykinkisdemocracy.bsky.social•3 days ago
