Brendan @bpdiamond.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This is commonplace now, but it should be no less shocking. You'd have a better hit rate if you completely guessed on every question on a multiple choice test. Zero hits? None? Not one?

Brendan @bpdiamond.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Amazing. The clowns at @nytimes.com think a man who rapes children could make an A-OK president, and that enabling his delusions makes for good politics, but a woman representative having aides feed her pet is A BRIDGE TOO FAR. We are not a serious country. 000
Brendan @bpdiamond.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Sam Alito should never have been on the court to begin with. If y'all will remember, he was the second nominee after Harriet Miers withdrew due to not being conservative enough for W's base. Bush was a pussy who was afraid of his base. 010
Brendan @bpdiamond.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Yet another reason to keep Newsom as far away from power as we want MAGA to be. He is a chatlatan techbro wannabe with absolutely no national political instincts. He hired a good social media director. That's it. 000

Brendan @bpdiamond.bsky.social · 10/09/2026This whole thread is spot-on, but Julian's calling out of non-Christian journalists being too credulous of Evangelicals who do the opposite of what the Bible teaches is the best part.

Brendan @bpdiamond.bsky.social · 05/09/2026This thread a thousand times. Shapiro, like Whitmer and to some extent Newsom, completely misread the base in 2024. The former two continue to do so, while Newsom is a windsock, so who knows where he stands on any subject, but platforming Charlie Kirk was dumb and did nothing to improve his base. 000
