She's an awful person, no different than any other person involved with this godforsaken, malignant regime. Focus on her actions, not her looks. Yes, they all seem to be doing "extreme" work to themselves and its unattractive, but I could give a shit what ppl look like if they are harming others.

Trump's opponents cannot simply wave away that existence; this does not mean he is more popular than he appears to be, but it does mean that he has support that is genuine, committed, and non-artificial, and there is no easy answer to that problem other than denying them power through politics

Ok it is obvious that people fake engagement with bots, and that this is often done for political reasons, but the reality is that there are tens of millions of republicans in america, the number of people who would vote for Trump is even larger, and as elections show, these people really exist

I’m all for vociferous debate based on facts and analyses of situations. But don’t just sit and scold people if they support a different candidate or find X candidate unclear or unconvincing. Debate is healthy (or should be) and we are all entitled to examine all the candidates.

How delusional Sen. Dems like Whitehouse and Heinrich who are pushing a deregulatory “permitting reform” bill boosting data center, big oil industries (for some clean energy project) be? They are depending on the word of Trump regime orchestrated by Russ Vought? 😳 From @punchbowlnews.bsky.social
“Democrats want W.H. to go public on permitting

For the future of the energy project permitting deal in the Senate, White House silence isn’t golden for Democrats.
Senate Democrats are starting to lay out additional expectations for the Trump administration to fulfill its commitment to end its blockade of wind and solar project approvals.
The demands involve administration officials publicly committing to quickly start approving projects upon enactment of the bill.
That’s a step the White House hasn’t taken so far — and one it appears reluctant to take.
We asked the Trump administration if it was willing to soothe Democrats’ nerves with a statement affirming what congressional negotiators said was agreed to in private negotiations. A White House aide reiterated the administration’s support for the deal, but said this about Democrats’ desire for a public statement on renewable energy projects:
“The Senate should vote on the actual text of the legislation and stop trying to litigate new terms through the press.”
The issue is a critical hurdle in securing the Democratic votes needed to advance the bill when the Senate takes it up in the lame-duck session.
President Donald Trump surprisingly offered to ease his administration’s holdup on renewable projects — including wind, his least favorite energy source — a key concession to unlocking the deal.
But the Trump administration has never acknowledged the specifics of its vague promise, which isn’t a part of the bill text, perhaps to avoid inciting the president.”
