Hear no evil, speak no evil. How convenient. They never seem to be aware of wrongdoing. Strange, isn’t it?

“Doesn’t have a mind of his own … he’s been doing trumps bidding” is a pretty good way to describe Mike Collins. And we know what that looks like—here in Savannah we have “Toady” Carter, another trumpy lickspittle bootlicker.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

He’s also well aware that if Democrats want to start winning decisively against these brash thuggish authoritarians, they need to speak from a place of conviction, determination and strength. All of the middling “third way”triangulating bullshit demonstrated nothing but weakness & compromise.

Watched lots of footage of civil rights protests in GA, AL and MS in the 1960s. Maybe some of you were there. Mike Collins acts, talks and behaves like a small town sheriff with a club in 1963 after the fire hoses got done. bsky.app/profile/atru...

All the sobbing and bellyaching does not seem very, well, high-T masculine, a major theme for a party marinating in toxic misogyny. Bullies who accuse their opponents of feminizing the country (especially the milit) and target trans kids seem ever so frail and helpless when things don't go their way
