Ok so I heard that there's a Ken Jennings/trans community dustup going on here at Bluesky, and I heard this in the context of "Bluesky says this" and "Bluesky piles onto Jennings" and ... Funny thing is that I only heard about this via a screenshot sent to me and a post on Twitter and not here

Our voter ID laws are insane. Case in point: In Ohio, where I live, our strict photo ID law requires (1) an unexpired state ID (driver's license or similar), or (2) a passport. Think about this for a second. If somebody forgets to renew a driver's license, that license isn't valid to vote—even if

f a person is able to drug and rape people and then act like he's done nothing wrong, that person is also capable of going on TV, or on the floor of Congress, and saying things that we agree with—things rooted in strong, caring, progressive values—in a way that makes us believe he means it.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why."

Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!"

First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization."

Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces.

Proud to be an American today!

USA 🇺🇸"

Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster."

Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."

Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars

If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position"

Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

Pundits never are called to account for their grand pronouncements. The impending thrashing of Winsome Sears in Virginia tomorrow makes me think of all the hot air about Glenn Youngkin four years ago, and how that win was deeply meaningful, and he was going to be going somewhere. And now: Glenn who?
