It’s not just Trump. It’s the entire GOP. When they had a national platform in their pre-Trump days, it included the privatization of ALL of OUR federal public lands. All 675,000,000 million acres. And not just the national parks, but the national forests, the national monuments, etc. All of it!

The GOP, especially self professed “konstimatooshinal skolar” Senator Mike Lee (R) Kolob, despise the very notion of OUR federal public lands!

@nickkristof.mirrors.bot @timmiller.bsky.social Listened to you guys on the Bulwark podcast. You blithely talked about regime change in Iran without mentioning the fact we engaged in a Pearl Harbor level sneak attack on Iran & we assassinated their leadership! Both acts are illegal! Do better! 🙏

@alfranken.bsky.social listened to your podcast today @djrothkopf.bsky.social … not in these words but you said the assassination of Iran’s Khamenei was a good thing because he was awful! So you condone the assassinations now of state leaders & religious leaders?! And a dirty sneak attack to boot?!

Hi @ianmastersmedia.bsky.social, yesterday your guest Nick Schwellenbach said Congress spiked immigration reform for politics. The spiking of immigration reform has been a purely Republican act. As you have said republicans want to demigod immigration. Please correct similar statements by guests!

Convicted felon trump is good at one thing: releasing terrorists from prison … 5000 Taliban terrorists from prisons in Afghanistan & 1500 domestic terrorists & insurrectionists held in US prisons for their crimes on 1/6/2021.

Convicted felon trump did this. trump’s mob of insurrectionists defecated & paraded a confederate traitor flag in the Capitol building. The traitor flag never entered the building during the Civil War but it did during convicted felon trump’s insurrection.

@gregsargent.bsky.social hi Greg, listening to podcast today on DSR. Nina Burleigh just said voters wanted change because Dems didn’t give them national health care & min wage. Just Dems fault?
