Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 19hThis would be surprising. I figured torpedoing their editorial voice was the whole reason they hired her. Why would you hire Bari Weiss and expect MORE people to tune in? 461
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 22/09/2026interesting choice for the Dems to anchor their 2024 campaign to a position for which a majority of their base wants people in prison 141
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 21/09/2026With this level of self-awareness I'm surprised he can remember to breathe. Take the bloody hint, Edward 070
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 18/09/2026If we had even a half-conscious opposition party that wasn't a gerontocracy cultishly devoted to Israel, the last two years would be enough to wipe the GOP from political relevance for the next century. 131
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The fun part is he said all this after matching with Ed Sheeran 020
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 16/09/2026In which Trump tacitly admits his economic worldview is predicated on not knowing what words mean. A deficit is not a loss. I'm running a trade deficit with Costco w/r/t rotisserie chickens. Every time I "lose" $4.99, I gain a chicken, which I value more than $5. I win. His illiteracy is terminal. 040
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Counterpoint to the prevailing narrative about Ed Sheeran being a spineless chud: both-sides-ing colonialism and genocide while surrounded by Irish people is the bravest thing Ed Sheeran has ever done. Stupid and evil, sure. But I wouldn't have the huevos to do that so I can't call it craven. 040
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 15/09/2026This shit is evil. And it's a lie. If the US went to war with Israel she wouldn't be cheering for it. She just hates Iran. Every liberal like this is telling the same lie. If the people the US is murdering were people they cared about, they absolutely would NOT cheer for it to "get done." 031
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Sen. Durbin: Do you believe those who have previously stolen from employers, solicited sex, or engaged in bestiality are qualified candidates for the FBI? Kash Patel: Thank you for the chance to clear this up. We do not want to punish the *victims* of bestiality. ...I got nothin. 050
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The clearest evidence that Americans have learned exactly the wrong lessons from 9/11 is that so many of these ghouls openly pine for the way everyone felt on September 12th and nobody ever pines for the way we felt on September 10th. 293
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's actually important not to let these people do this. This feeling never happened. It only existed for white people who only considered the feelings, grief, and human rights of other white people to be worthy of counting. 393
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 11/09/2026In the aftermath of 9/11, there was exactly one person in the entire US Congress who refused to give into the rage and bloodlust. The vote for never-ending war was 518-1. It was the greatest act of political bravery in my lifetime and Barbara Lee has never gotten the love she deserves for it. 1101
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Seeing that McDonald's logo flying at half-staff outside our political prisoner torture camp (we abhor political violence, remember) just makes Lee Greenwood start playing in my head. 051
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I never was able to get any of these weirdo liberals to explain what the hell "political violence" means if it doesn't include genocide, immigration enforcement, or endless war. 074
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 09/09/2026How come New York Magazine can admit Trump is lying but the New York Times can't? 1144
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Geez can't a Congressman commit genocide without people being mean to him anymore? 152
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I gotta say, it kinda feels like drooling out "I am now in complete control" every 2-3 days for months on end is the opposite of what it means to control something. 293
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 02/09/2026One of the most radical positions you can take in American politics is that people are just people, and that regardless of where they're born they have the same rights and worth as anyone else. Any articulation of that view will alienate you from both parties and get you treated like a terrorist. 722149451

Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Now there's a Bari Weiss tweet if I've ever seen one. I'd recognize the stench of that nonsequitur racism anywhere. 0112
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I'm glad college football is back, but I'm gonna need somebody to look into whatever they're cooking up over at Valparaiso, cuz it seems big. This is what happens when you let the Humanities faculty sign football players. 000
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 30/08/2026so is the acronym for the US Space Academy "S P A C E A C A D E M Y" or what? Also I'm 100% sure the Air Force Academy has a coat of arms too, so you don't have to put their football logo on there, Mr. President. 141
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 28/08/2026There is simply no world where "stop opposing genocide so we can beat Trump" can ever make more logical or moral sense than "stop supporting genocide so we can beat Trump." There is only one way this "division" can ever end and the longer you folks delay it, the worse it's going to be. 085
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The irony of Establishment Dems calling these issues "divisive" is that they're among the most monolithically-held views in the entire Dem Party. The "division" is almost entirely between a base clearly articulating what it wants and culty out of touch leaders who don't want to give it to them. 262
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 25/08/2026None of the people whining about Hasan Piker could even name another Twitch streamer. The pro-genocide Establishment Dems and their media thralls *made* Piker politically relevant for the sole purpose of being mad at someone with no actual power or authority. 141
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 24/08/2026It's such a promising omen for Hakeem Jeffries' tenure as Speaker of the House that before he even takes office he's already falling for "your shoe's untied" from Jared Kushner 843775
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 20/08/2026AIPAC celebrating nazi-ass Randy Fine winning his primary tells you everything you could ever want to know about zionists and their lobby. The fact that ANY democrat, ANY liberal would have anything to do with an organization that bankrolls Randy Fine is absolutely damning. 141
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 11/08/2026“There’s three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!" "Isn’t that the wrong way?" "Yeah, but faster!” 142
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I think I'm at the point where I'm more annoyed by liberals and libertarians pretending anyone actually cares about the economy than I am by xenophobes lying about caring about the economy. They don't care about the economy. They just don't want to see "those people" at their grocery store dude. 020
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 06/08/2026It's really cool to spend years being called an "antisemite" by Democrats for pointing out that zionists would happily burn down the world for Israel, only for zionists to show up the next day and openly admit they'll help world-burning Trumpist Republicans defeat anti-genocide Democrats. 053

Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 13/07/2026For our 250th anniversary we're LARPing the other side of the Barbary Wars. Good news everyone! The strait is open but also we're also going to extort a 20% tribute out of all your ships. We are NOT pirates. Don't put that we're pirates. 0165
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 12/07/2026If you don't vet your candidates for whether they support genocide, what's the point of vetting? 040
Adam Bates @abates.bsky.social · 11/07/2026in which @amysiskind.com follows @neeratanden.bsky.social's lead in making totally baseless sex crime implications against Abdul El-Sayed just because he opposes the genocide they'd happily burn down the world for. This repugnant death cult cannot be run out of our politics fast enough. 141
