Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 30/04/2025I hear you. To me it’s the kind of error that matters here. Strategic misjudgment akin to Schumer’s. She could overcome this. But she’d have to recognize and acknowledge the mistake and then lead in the opposite direction. That’s a huge shift 020
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 30/04/2025Me too. Your strengths become a weakness if you misunderstand when to use them. She’s currently the most successful bipartisan Dem politician. And that’s a losing category. Pritzker is such a contrast 070
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 29/04/2025He’s effectively calling out Trump as a false god here. Seriously. Senator Kennedy is a smart guy. He knows this is going to shit 110
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Like an overly permissive parent trying to convince herself her awful child’s meager best features are redeeming. What are you going to do? Admit your boy is a monster? 000
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Presuming you made the case against Wurman’s position like you have on here, this sounds like a Wurman supporter trying to change the subject from the substance of your argument to the fact that you conclude their position is untenable. Calling that “bullying” just means you showed Wurman is wrong 060
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 29/04/2025This is maddening but actually a good sign. It means Trump voters like that can’t defend what’s happening. So make sure no one can ignore what’s happening. Keep the pressure on like Pritzker. Just tell the truth about the Trump administration. People will hate it once they believe it 030
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Make them own it. Over and over. Thats how a split occurs. 070
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 29/04/2025What’s it feel like to wake up one day and realize Trump and team have been duping you for years, and now prices are way up and your job might be a little shaky? That’s got to make you angry, right? 030
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 25/04/2025So, another source of uncertainty and a boost to inflation. Double win 040
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Block early and often or mute threads. Those folks are not worth your time 010
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 25/04/2025What would it even mean to take Trump seriously at this point? Forget everything he says - except the frequent admissions against interest where he admits the intent his lackeys deny in court. Watch what he and his administration do. Maddening but less confusing. His words are just octopus ink 030
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 24/04/2025What a stupid and evil child he is. Just a ludicrous figure 0100

Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 24/04/2025She’s really smart. Just made a pact with the devil and starting to realize what that means. She doesn’t know what to say, but she knows this conversation means the bill is rapidly coming due. What’s Trump’s draw once you realize his economics suck? 060
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 24/04/2025I appreciate the tone and approach here. How do you reach people who refuse to hear? Talk around them. Describe what they’re doing so everyone can see it 3rd person - even the people he’s talking about. Rhetoric has a name for this technique, but I forget it 011
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Trumpism can only be failed. It does not fail 000
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 21/04/2025Ah. But they were convicted. To Miller, that proves they were mistreated. Patriots and all that. 010
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Tja. There’s a subreddit dedicated to WTAF + of course posts. r/tja 010
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 19/04/2025“Deals no problem?” No, no. I said, “Deals? No! Problem!” 000
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 19/04/2025You seem like a good dude, so I hope it’s clear I’m not trying to razz you. I think this will interest you. This story is what I mean. Yes, Project 2025 and similar efforts are real. And Trump is so erratic bsky.app/profile/prch... 000
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 19/04/2025We don’t have to agree, man. Watch Trump’s actual decision-making. He is not capable of that kind of coherence and sustained attention. Did some Trumpers hope for it? Sure. But if Trump is making the calls, he could never pull it off 100
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Trump’s main economic tool is tariffs. He says they do opposite things - promote deals where we buy internationally and cut off trade to promote American products here. This makes no sense, so there is no point pretending Trump planned anything this complicated. He wouldn’t know how if he wanted to 100
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 19/04/2025That’s the lie a narcissist tells themselves. It drowns out the voice telling Trump he ____ he is, where the blank is whatever he projects onto his scapegoats and targets. “Nasty” most of all. He is self-loathing all the way down 011
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Trump cannot cope with blame or responsibility. Every time the economy or the stock market suffer from his decisions, he’ll use Powell as a scapegoat. Even though he knows that will make the problem worse, he’ll still blame it on Powell. That’s Trump’s pattern. Fear of failure tortures him 121
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 18/04/2025That is what she said. Now let’s see her stand up. She can make a difference 2400
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 18/04/2025I so appreciate your voice. Sorry for he assholes. Ignore them if you can 020
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 17/04/2025This is Pat Riley taking LeBron’s postgame cookies all over again 040
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 17/04/2025This is both better and worse than the initial pull quote suggests. Good for Murkowski for saying the right thing here. But is she actually speaking up? And if so, could she do it louder and then vote accordingly? 020
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 17/04/2025Adam Serwer was right. The cruelty is always the point. Sometimes greed and a few other vices tag along. Cruelty is always in play 010
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 17/04/2025Early Neoconservatives were Democrats turned Reaganites. Kristol openly speculated decades ago about what conditions might make him a Dem again. Conditions long ago exceeded his expectations 020
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Trump put the Overton Window in the Trump dumpster. His worst policies today will always be overshadowed by his somehow even worse ones tomorrow 040
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 16/04/2025I read his whole response to you as him not feeling like doing anything about our present situation and arguing that things he could do are useless so he doesn’t have to feel bad for not giving a damn. Just own your shittiness, dude. Leave us out of it 030
Brandon Claycomb @bclaycomb.bsky.social · 13/04/2025I think you’ll be proven right in 2025. They’re accelerating their lawlessness 000
