He was pretending to be decent because at that time he thought that was the correct path. When it wasn't, he abandoned decency. That's the point.

I was willing to accept that a 71 year old died rather suddenly from illness without questions. But this tweet makes me suspicious that something else is going on and raises a bunch.

Graham spent his entire career swinging from whatever position and people he thought would help him maintain his connection to power. He had no principles, no values, no morals, just a desire to say what he thought sounded food in the moment.

Now that professional sporting events on the White House lawn are acceptable, what should the next Democratic president do? First NFL game? Professional Cornhole?

Fuck off with this bullshit. The Atlantic should be embarrassed to allow such dumbass "both sides" garbage to be under their banner.

The hiring of an absolute dipshit like Bari Weiss was already the death of anything resembling journalism at CBS. Everything that happens after is just abusing a corpse.

Also pass unambiguous ethics rules that define "good behavior" and require the removal of a justice for violating them. They can either declare them unconstitutional and make the best possible case for packing the court, or they can let them go into effect and basically sign their own removal.

Democrats need to fight fire with fire. On principle I despise gerrymandering, but it's the only way to move toward fairness. Gerrymander every state we can to the fullest extent. And make it clear that this is a RESPONSE to the GOP's cheating and they will pass fair districting laws anytime

While I like that idea symbolically, if it is built and paid for with public funds (which it will be I'm sure) they should instead repurpose it so that the money isn't wasted.

If they run smart campaigns that will change in November. They should then just start passing incredibly popular legislation. Blow up the filibuster and pass it without Republicans. And then all of them go out and makes sure they scream from the rooftops that Trump is blocking it if he vetoes it.

If Democrats have control of the House, impeaching Trump is basically the only thing they CAN accomplish. Even in the most optimistic projections would have them with barely a majority in the Senate. Nothing of substance will get passed except maybe one or two reconciliation bills.

They talk to hundreds of people and use the worst (and often out of context) clips for comedic effect. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of poorly informed people, but pre-taped, comedic "man on the street" bits are not an accurate measure of that.

If this is true I agree that that's worse than staging it. Because that means they were prepared enough to assume the president wouldn't be harmed but other people were in incredible danger.

To the Republicans complaining about Virginia here is the fix: A Constitutional Amendment that: 1. requiring non-partisan commissions to draw all Congressional Districts 2. Increase the number of seats in Congress so that no one represents more than 200k people. 3. Abolishes the Electoral College.

Frank Grimes IV @frankgrimesiv.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
That's why no one should give a damn about their complaints after the vote in Virginia. These are the same people who laud a system that allows the person with fewer votes to still be PRESIDENT. They gerrymandered multiple states just for the hell of it. They can fuck off to the moon with this shit.

Women's sports serve as a convenient talking point for their hateful anti-trans ideology. But beyond that, they do not give a fuck about women's sports.

I think it's time we admit that while they are stupid and blatant about this, rich fucks have been making financial decisions like this since forever. They all share whispers about what to do with their investments.

Chauvin was charged 4 days after the murder of George Floyd. Renee Good was killed January 7th and Alex Pretti on January 24th. It's been 3 months.

I think the key is to remember, it was never about any of those things. It was always about whatever argument in the moment supports their preferred outcome.

The question is does your job provide something of value to society that is greater than the what it takes away from it. Even if you do something for a corporation that arguably does bad, your place in it might not. For example, Amazon is bad, people who are delivery drivers for them are not.

I have, that's why I called him a centrist who moved right.

Also the data is pretty clear that progressive policies, particularly economic ones are very popular. People would respond well to them if Democrats actually fought for them and even better, passed them, if they regain power.

Frank Grimes IV @frankgrimesiv.bsky.social · 10/04/2026
It's really about principles. Democrats do better when they lean into attacks on progressive ideology by defending it. Moving right doesn't work. Sticking to your principles does. And you can't be a wishy-washy centrist AND show the principles because in order to be a centrist you abandoned them.

Because he (wrongly) thinks there is a significant number of Republicans who will vote for a Democrat if he moves a little bit Right from his already centrist positions.

Frank Grimes IV @frankgrimesiv.bsky.social · 10/04/2026
No thanks. Just another centrist who would rather move right to court the 4% of Republicans who might vote for a Democrat than the massive swath of people who desperately want Democrats to fight for progress.

If Trump isn't dead by then, he should leave the White House in handcuffs. If he doesn't, they've already failed.

This is a fundamental problem with Democrats. If there isn't the votes or momentum for something RIGHT NOW they don't bother.

Because they knew the basic version of their family's story which usually was closer to what most undocumented people do, it just wasn't illegal to do that at the time.

That they did not think through the obvious consequences doesn't mean they didn't vote for it. And most did not go ballistic, that's a part of the same false narrative. Media finds the handful of people who will say, "I didn't think it would mean this" as if they are representatives of something.

Frank Grimes IV @frankgrimesiv.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
If there was one smart thing Trump did since coming down that escalator in 2015, it was basically disappearing from the public eye for most of the 2021 so that Biden and other centrists could feel good about the decision to not immediately arrest him. They thought he'd gone away and that was enough.

Prosecutions should start IMMEDIATELY, like as the president is giving their inauguration speech former Trump Administration officials should be lead away in handcuffs.

I am a teacher and the clearest sign that we as a country do not value education is that I started in 2006 making $35k. A teacher starting today at that same school makes $42k. Adjusted for inflation that's $15k less than what I made.

He'll die before he is locked up. Which is not a bad thing. But the important part is that dead or alive everything he had should be seized and his family should be left with nothing.

I'm anti-death penalty but the fact that senior Confederate government officials and generals were not hung en masse at the end of the Civil War was a mistake.

I know we have bigger fish to fry, but no one who was a part of her campaign should ever be allowed to make a decision about anything. If you couldn't figure out how to defeat the worst person on Earth, senior Harris campaign staff should even be trusted to order for themselves in a restaurant.

He's deranged. He is completely detached from reality. It would be more wild if it did make sense or was coherent.
