elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 7hHe doesn't say it because it is heresy to investigate anyone for corruption, and he has no intention of doing it. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 7hSpanish? Not so much. Cuban, whose distant ancestors came from Spain as colonizers. Cuban, Latin American, like the people they're now throwing into concentration camps. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 12hYeah, funny. But Trotsky wasn't what we call a socialist either. He was a communist. Try to figure out the difference. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 22hIt’s not only the Oct 7 episodes. It’s the whole season showing what severe ptsd looks like, and explaining why the whole country is suffering from ptsd, which has turned a war against a terrorist organization into a war of revenge. 010
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Per day for the whole trip to China? How much, bottom line, does it add to the cost of a barrel of oil? 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It’s not at all clear what those numbers mean. Per day for all strait transits? Per ship? How many days per ship? It would help to translate this to cost per barrel of oil. 100
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think Biden did many good things, the closest we came to FDR’s legacy. But he made two tragic mistakes, appointing Merrick Garland and running for re-election. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Money can’t buy you love. There’s only so much you can spend effectively on an election. No matter how much, people will still hate Trump and Musk. 072
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026They weren’t placed there. They lived there, for decades, farming their land. Many of them were advocates for peace with the Palestinians, and they were murdered in cold blood. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The monitors in the U.S. were always about proving America's election integrity and transparency, so that we could demand the same monitoring and integrity from others. This regime has no election integrity and no longer cares about fair elections in other countries. 020
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I always wonder how history could be completely different if Biden had appointed her as AG instead of the feckless Merrick Garland. 120
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Thom, can't help you. I've used up all my crocodile tears, you jerk. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 05/10/2026So higher rates will subtract 0.2, but current rates will subtract 0.5? Could you ask him to obfuscate a little more please. 020
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Vance's wife is disposable, like all immigrants from India. 020
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Sure. And *I* will be your benevolent dictator. You can trust me. Forever. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Why wouldn’t he double down? It’s an empty promise. He knows it’s an empty promise. We know it’s an empty promise. It will allow him to say that those who didn’t vote for him (or R candidates) are idiots. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026They thought the 1920s were a golden age, and then a depression happened. All under a Repugnican president of course. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Reading the New Yorker article makes it clear that the above paragraph is but one piece of garbage in a whole pile. Florence Hazrat is someone with a hammer, and to her everything is a nail. I would move on. Nothing worthwhile to see here. 120
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Tell it to the 200 people who have been freed from death row after being totally exonerated of the crimes they were convicted of. You’d just have them killed. Why? Is it so satisfying? 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026A policy that kills people is bad, and if it happens that’s no justification for more killing. You’re really desperate for excuses to kill people. It is never ever a good idea. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026No, I wouldn’t. But it’s better than killing them. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 03/10/2026No, it’s never moral for the government to kill people. And you can’t make the system better. There will always be wrongful convictions, and when you kill someone you can never fix the mistake. 200
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026No misdirection. There can be multiple reasons why executions are wrong. Some are moral. Others are practical. Is it right for the state to kill anyone when the estimate is that 4% of those killed are in fact innocent? 110
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026So now Musk is going to DOGE the Defense Department, at the invitation of Pete Kegbreath. 000

elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Life without parole is not a death sentence. It's LIFE, without parole. And yes, I am squeamish, if that's what you want to call it, about the state killing people, because it's morally wrong. 000
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Life itself is a slow death sentence, by your logic. 100
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The role of the courts is not to satisfy your blood lust. 120
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Mistakes in executions can’t be corrected. Mistaken convictions with prison sentences can be. Over the years, abt 4000 convictions have been totally exonerated, including 200 people on death row. Many more have been reversed due to prosecutorial misconduct. 120
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Also, the average time from sentencing to execution in this country is 20 years. That’s 20 years of torture for the victims’ families. Life without parole would be better. 130
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026He’s trying to sell a fantasy to the voters. He knows it’s a lie. It’s his deliberate MO. 030
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Killing a criminal doesn’t bring back the victims. There have been enough wrongful executions and botched executions to say enough. It’s nothing more than cruel and vengeful punishment. 280
elanc.bsky.social @elanc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Just imagine what kind of acolytes he will try to nominate if Alito or Thomas croak in the next two years. 000
