I guess we’re gonna scratch our heads for another few years about what could this possibly mean? Just like Trump meeting with Putin without any notetaking representing our country in private and then coming out and say, he wants to share everything with the Russian intelligence

Your party George you built this this is all Republicans. This is everything they’ve been doing for the last 4050 years. If you don’t think Reagan and the heritage Society are connected and the same idiots are running the show right now you are completely brain dead

Meanwhile, during that same time, there were merrily supporting this Republican agenda, which routinely would use evangelicals to whip up their base to hate people like… Wait for it, Tim and Sarah But you spent your political capital trying to make oil and gas richer had enough @thebulwark.com

Maybe not as extreme, but pretty much the youth culture of Republicans going back to their yield days of 2000 was always how big an asshole can I be and laugh at other people’s misery I’m sorry as a progressive, at that age we were thinking we should get these fossil fuel idiots out and try to fix

Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 24/07/2025
But watching them comment on the “jubilee” bullshit far right radicalized asshole surrounding Medi Hassan, who had no problem dispensing these idiots But listening to Tim and Sarah saying they know these types and that was pretty much many of the same people they were around coming up

The Republican agenda of which they were very much a part of, built this shit house over decades, starting with Reagan and then George W Bush, ripping the rug out from under America and then crashing an economy that Democrats had rebuilt Or the fact that Republicans stopped crafting any meaningful

I’ve listened to the @thebulwark.com since it’s inception I figured I’d wanna hear what our Republican friends that created this mess had to say They pretty regularly complained about Trump and briefly touch on some Republicans, but never seem to just say the reason we’re here is because

I’d love to know more about what Jvl has to say but he’s so thin skinned. He blocked me. He seems like such an intelligent fellow when you chat together But I wish you bulworkers would admit that Jubilee episode and your young Republicans Were created in the cauldron of your party Over decades

“Washington” Sorry, adam it’s one party and one party alone that is so thoroughly and utterly corrupt financially morally, and cannot govern whatsoever The Republican Party has pretty much rubber, stamped everything this dictator buffoon asked for It’s your party Half of Washington

What happened in Kerr county is the direct result of the voters of Kerr county. Period. Dems believe in science, climate change and that government is supposed to fund human safety infrastructure projects. The Kerr county voters and council believed only in owning the libs. That’s it.

After decades of playing footsie with conspiracies to excite your base your R Party, and planned division, which was cooked up yet again by the Republican Party branding anyone else non-patriotic this has been a decades, long agenda Starting in the 50s with the red scare Welfare queen in the 80s

I appreciate Scotts quick wit. I know he has more to say, but like anyone that writes books you have to find a subject whether it’s “abundance” like Ezra Kline then you just beat th horse for a while. White males feeling left out of our society seems to be one of the more privileged positions

All the things you were complaining about and saying to reset the table Guess what all of that was in build back better But two senators fucked it up One was that Maga douche bag mansion And of course, the other is the former screaming liberal Sinema.. defending corporate tax loophole

Funny what your Republican Party has built Your party ended the growth of the middle class pretty much with the 80s and have continued to rip it apart by root and branch And now you finally opened your eyes And I’m supposed to celebrate that ?

Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025
The great compression as your guest hopefully reminded you, was pretty much ripped out by its roots by Republicans and has continued without slowing down for 45 years And now you wanna say poor little white boys No, and fucking know

You wonderful Internet that you’ve made your hundreds of millions off of is one of the problems but if you can’t raise a child to see how corrosive and stupid it is then perhaps the problem is with the parent Or perhaps the rents, or the affordability of opportunity

I know you wanna sell your book on the forgotten, white teenager male But I’m sorry the most masculine thing you can do is just shut your fucking mouth and get on with life and if you don’t and you’re sitting in front of a video game, then you’re a fucking loser. That’s a male response.

Sorry Scott I am raising three boys right now between the ages of 18 and 22 so I will speak on male character because I am in this game And I did not get to bring them to Ibiza. In fact, we have never taken a vacation because of the economy we’re in.

I guess you’re new to Scott’s stand-up routine I was listening to pivot and finally had enough of the preamble of wealth, porn and travel that starts every podcast Kara Swisher was born into Money and obviously Scott admittedly used our former great system to expand a middle class life

Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025
It’s great that you had your soliloquy about growing up and all the benefits you received That would be because of democratic leaders pushing through those benefits And then right out of your soliloquy you scream straight into “Democrat’s fault”!!!! Why did you say the word republican?
000
Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025
Scott, I know you’re sitting in Ibiza sipping a fuzzy Skrillex But you’re old enough to know that Ronald Reagan was the one that cut the legs out from under all the benefits you received and every single Republican after that hasn’t made it their life’s work I’m sure Heather can enlighten you

Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025
After listening to your podcast with Jennifer, checking all the boxes of what’s wrong And your soliloquy about growing up in the benefits you received You hit the gas pedal straight into screaming about Democrats Republicans have eroded this over the last 45 years By design Say their names

My whole adult life I’ve heard Rep saying shrinking the gov Of course, while enriching themselves /blowing the deficit thr the roof. just put that first lie aside for a minute They expanded the gov homeland, security, larger than any other time now they’re using it as a private police force

Hal Cragin @halcragin.bsky.social · 10/07/2025
So this ice thing had a budget of $8 billion and now it’s up to 45+ billion with 45 billion just for detention centers How do we survive without this before? And we need to spend that much money when they just blew the deficit through the roof.

over many days of listening to this Texas flood story. I finally got information that that area of Texas far from being the poor people story. Its the most concentrated amount of millionaires in TX The reason no flood warning system is they were too cheap to spend on their community Got it

For everyone that wanders around and says this is all just a Trump era thing The Roberts court was created over a decade ago. Citizens united was put in place explicitly to create this environment This is all Republican This is not Maga. That’s the shitty storefront they’re using.

The New York Times kicks Democrats in the face when they try to get a message out, they have to beg and it gets buried in the 13 Paragraph with both sides headline. Nyt is a plutocrat gossip rag R have multiple outlets where they mumble upside down bs, and it gets broadcast an hour later

New York Times, I’m surprised you didn’t “What this means for D party” The fucking tongue bath you give Trump and the Republicans is obvious and disgusting Why didn’t you write a headline that says the fact that they try to stuff this shit into the bill to begin with What does that say?

Somehow, a 50% tax increase on the entire country? Without Congress‘s approval Congress just gave a gift to the billionaires and multimillionaires. Do you think they’re gonna worry about paying for food? Do you think their food is the same percentage of their income as everyone else?

When California experience wildfires, what was our red state welfare Queens saying? It’s funny how people want Democrats to fight like Republicans But you really don’t Spewing bullshit doesn’t fly But it does with Republicans They made this mess They fucking made this mess, darling

Let’s start with an answer of six months of destruction of our government by a multimillionaire that did it for his gain But look no further than Russell Vaught Who is the architect This man R politics for decades It’s all Republican not Trump. It’s not Maga. It’s Republicans George.
