We can’t have repudiation without accountability. The electorate did this; the electorate must be held to account.

What a moron. I hope his trump retainer was/is huge because he should be disbarred and unemployable as an attorney as soon as he leaves office.

I proclaim these treasonous, amoral, racist shitheads, who fractured our nation and then implemented and maintained a terror regime targeting their Black fellow citizens, and their family members who hold their beliefs and actions in high regard, to be trash and wholly worthy of eternal damnation.

I’m 45. The first space shuttle launched a month after I was born; the last one 30 years later. This is hands-down the coolest thing that’s happened in my lifetime. So happy they made it back to Earth safely. So excited for the journey ahead. 🤓

There have always been vast numbers of Americans willing to maintain Confederacy thought, Jim Crow thought, school segregation thought, homophobic thought, any other putridity of imagination you can think of. It’s an electorally important cohort. We continue our fight to dismantle every last one.

The Bible, like most religious texts, is filled with anger, conjecture, mysticism, and a slew of other tools that render it imperfect when interpreted literally, word-for-word. In fact, it was key in Kirk’s own terrible worldview. Selective use advised.

r u s t y @therustypeeples.bsky.social · 12/04/2026
We should always seek the destruction of terrible ideals, like many of those espoused by Kirk, and try to avoid celebrating/glorifying the death of individuals who promote them.

r u s t y @therustypeeples.bsky.social · 12/04/2026
Yeah, and racists continue to memorialize the Confederacy and erect monuments to those traitors. The Venn diagram of people who exalt the Confederacy and people who glorify Charlie Kirk is a basic (primary and pejorative) circle. We point it out and fight them tooth and nail.

Yikes! That’s a damning thing for a leader like Carney to say about our country and should lead to the type of national introspection that catapults Trump, the MAGA movement, and everyone who fuels it into the dustbin of contemporary history. It’s an indictment of immense importance.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We can hold two beliefs at once: 1. The murder of Charlie Kirk was an abhorrent event. 2. Many of Charlie Kirk’s beliefs were trash.

They do stuff like this because it is titillating to their large base, which consists of tens of millions of people, which is a significant portion of our population. They are because we are. They won’t change because we won’t change. 👊🔥🇺🇸

This man is the direct result of the dangerous whims of the American people, and now the world sees us for who we are, and we may never—and probably should not ever—regain the confidence of those who believed us to be people of upstanding standards and ideals. Bravo, Americans.

I love General Hertling and always look forward to his commentary, but the true reason for General Green’s dismissal isn’t complicated: Hegseth’s “anti-woke” crusade has always had a very specific target — high-achieving Black officers and anyone unwilling to cosign his ahistorical worldview.

There are deplorables aplenty. Be offended by their ways, not by my pointing out their existence. P.S. - Many of them are “Christians”.

This was a terrible idea concocted by a blinkered man plucked from weekend cable TV and handed a job well beyond his range of aptitude, temperament, and fitness — because he was white, handsome, racist, and full of bombast. 👊🔥🇺🇸❓

Iran is one of the world’s oldest civilizations — with that comes ideals, commitments, and passions that we simply cannot understand or relate to in our relative infancy as a nation.

Do you think corporate earnings are increasingly decoupled from the real economy — and if so, does that make this guidance data less predictive than it used to be?

At least with Amazon and Verizon, you actually get something tangible. Meta is a beast built off of our collective inability to stop wasting our time with its services, so:

You have to assume (and pray) that the majority of Americans aren’t stupid enough to think that the government can do anything and demand deference under the guise of “freedom”. But we did put these people in power, meaning that we are collectively just that stupid.

I’m still awaiting the devastating things that his investigators on the ground in Hawaii learned about Barack Obama’s citizenship. The plan is what it’s always been—say bombastic nonsense to titillate his large, oft ignorant, oft racist base. So no useful plan. We deserve every repercussion.

Then this experiment is destined for failure. We can tolerate a few million deplorables, but when it’s 10-15% of the population, it’s unsustainable. When one of our two major parties chooses to court and mollify these deplorables for political gains, it’s worse. Stay alert. Be hopeful.

Until we fix the racism, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny — all neatly packaged under the label ‘anti-woke’ — that has a chokehold on a huge segment of our population, we will continue our descent towards being broke and irrelevant. Godspeed.

In that spirit, he spitefully abandoned the JCPOA to “stick it to” Obama and his legacy. And now we falter, deservedly so.

Trump began his political ascent with racism—questioning the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency. He knew that it would energize the millions of white Americans who felt aggrieved by a changing world, creating a huge bedrock of support for his political aspirations.

Imagine creating an expensive and deadly mess for your allies (of likely diminishing spirits of allyship) without their consultation and then leaving them to clean up. It’s such cowardly and trashy behavior. All he had to do was be less racist and let the JCPOA continue to do what it was doing.

You guys almost get there, but you never quite do. Why would Barack Obama be impeached for this very behavior, and yet, Trump gets away with it time and again? Why not ask the logical next question? Tell us about the true base of Trump’s support and what really motivates them. It’s right there.

This is a great interview. Al Gore is an intellectual beast. It would behoove us to turn away from our current age of anti-knowledge and anti-intellectual drivel, fostered by Bush Jr., magnified by people like Sarah Palin, and run amok under the likes of our current “leader”, but can we? Will we??

How fucking stupid must we be for voting (in a free and fair election) for this goon?! We must stop mollifying ourselves, avoiding accountability for perpetuating a false belief system, and leading ourselves towards becoming an unserious, fanatical, anti-democratic shit-hole country.
