fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The better retort to this whataboutism is to ask whether Tillis thought/thinks Biden should have resigned, and if so, how is that different from McConnell. 000

fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Nothing is more apolitical and nonpartisan than timing your retirement based on who controls the Senate and WH, am I right? 000

fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026They (at least the ones disclosed) also do not refer to Atlanta, the Hawks, or basketball. Smith could have been attending Disney on Ice for all Schmitt knew. 011
fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026But this is false as well. There were a bunch of NBA and NCAA men’s games that day. I’ve also heard him say that this was the only game in Atlanta. But, okay, that’s only relevant if you can prove that Smith was in Atlanta, in which case, attendance at the Hawks game is irrelevant. 010
fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I get the leap from attending a game in Atlanta on 2/3 to meeting with Willis in Atlanta. It’s BS, but I can at least see a connection. What I don’t get is the connection between going to some event somewhere to going to an Atlanta Hawks game. 210
fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Also, how you get from texts about seats for some unidentified event to “proof” that Smith attended a game in Atlanta is beyond me. I had assumed that there were other texts that he didn’t show that referred to a “Hawks” game. But now I think Schmitt is actually just incredibly dumb and dishonest. 4275
fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Schmitt continues to lie in his day after damage control. He is now saying that the Hawks game was the only NBA or NCAA men’s game on 2/3/24. But there were a bunch of NBA games and high profile NCAA games, in addition to a multitude of events, occurring on 2/3/24. 170
fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026There had to be other texts that led him to think that Smith was at the Atlanta game. The texts on the poster could have been referring to any number of events. Not sure what the point of the poster was other than to show Smith was already in Atlanta for the game on Feb 3. 011
fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026And it reads like something Schmitt’s team put out. 020
fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I really don’t understand how he ever got where he is. The money people kept financing him. And the Republican voters repeatedly chose him over other Republicans. Why? What unique political gifts propelled him to rise to this level? 000
fernstkc.bsky.social @fernstkc.bsky.social · 10/04/2026This is false. CNN did not report that 75% of Americans favor impeaching Trump. 000
