Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 01/07/2025I know that "what if Obama?" is becoming a very tired conceit. But, seriously, what if Obama? 000
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Trump did not find this cult. The cult found Trump. It started 30 years ago with Rush Limbaugh's devotees. It was expanded by Fox, radicalized by Infowars, Breitbart, and Moscow. Trump couldn't lead water downhill. He fell into a bed that was made for him. 010
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Dems need to make it clear NOW, so they wont have to deal with the 'hypocrisy' argument later, that they view turnabout as fair play. Tyranny will be banned when the Republicans BEG for it. 000
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 29/06/2025It is vital that when and if Dems gain decisive power over government, they take specific legislative actions to make sure a Trump can never happen again. But it is equally vital that they not do so before USING every precedent that Trump has established to reverse the impact of his reign... 110

Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 27/06/2025You are missing the point. Because regardless of whether it's about ideology (and for many people it is, whether or not it is for you), you aren't THE people. You're SOME people. There are a lot of them. It isn't one group or another's unique responsibility to compromise. 100
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 27/06/2025I often see these comments-often from people with completely opposite ideas about what "the voters" are demanding. What we all need to internalize is that those who want a sharp left turn in the DNC and those that want it moderated have to function in 1 party and stop being so sure of everything. 100
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 30/05/2025I haven't seen or heard about the T-shirts, but it sounds a bit like having a T-shirt that says "I'm not a racist or anything..." 010
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 21/05/2025I think if one wanted to use tariffs to increase domestic manufacturing, there are ways. these insane blanket tariffs are not it. No need anyway. US manufacturing was already increasing under Biden due to his investments in STEM. Trump just wants to break things so he can fix them. Only he can't. 131
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 20/05/2025He is a gross and opportunistic bothsidesist. CNN has already fired their good journalists. 010
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Rand Paul always understood that this was about looting the national coffers. He just didn't think it would be done this clumsily. 000

Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 17/05/2025It is not enough to understand that Trump is a criminal. The Republican party is a criminal organization. They have proven that they do not care about national security, family values, or anything else they dishonestly sound off about. 010
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 16/05/2025I know these law firms aren't bastions of moral anything. But I'd have thought at least they'd be smarter. 020

Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Now, I sure as hell did not think Elon Musk was a genius. As a matter of fact, I don't mean to brag but I was one of the few people who thought he was an idiot way back in the day. But I didn't think he was dumb enough to be out-foxed by Trump. 010
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 28/04/2025And even in that context he's failing. Didn't to study just show that Trump has already spent 155 billion dollars more than did Biden at this point? 000
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 28/04/2025Do we think Trump earnestly believed that HE was the one controlling Vlad all along and is now shocked to discover that Vlad has no respect for him? I think it's a pretty good bet. 010
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 28/04/2025I can't pretend I think much of her. Or anyone who would still represent the Republican party at this point. But that doesn't really matter. What matters is I think she's useful. If she speaks up about intimidation, it will help other Rs do the same. 0160
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 27/04/2025But what if the ovaries are white and the children are brown? That must at least even out, right? 010
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 27/04/2025To paraphrase Archer, he basically wanders from one impeachable offense to another. At this point, it doesn't mean much. 080
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Well, I feel safer. Don't you? They were probably human traffickers and terrorists. 010
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Right. Just as an executioner killing someone who was not convicted would be murder, regardless of the fact he was an executioner. The word, I guess, in this case would be "exile"(?) 000

Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 27/04/2025I'll tell you one thing I admire about Roman Catholics. If you go to Catholic School, you learn ALL the pope history. Even the crazy evil stuff. 010
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 27/04/2025The bigger question is why they are defending tiny terrorists and human traffickers in diapers when the president was elected to make us safe from them. 030
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Strongly agree. But in addition to the 'professional cynics', I think we all, as Democrats and those further left, need to learn how to criticize each other without creating false equivalencies or creating infighting. It's one of our greatest flaws. 000
Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 24/04/2025If I were willing to date someone I thought it was a Nazi, would they want to date me even though I thought they were a Nazi? I mean, I wouldn't date someone if they thought I was a Nazi. And I would wonder why the hell they would be willing to date someone they thought was a Nazi. 030

Robert Slaughter @whiterosecourage.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Trump carried Arkansas by a margin of over 30%. I can never be happy when people are suffering, but this might be what it takes for them to learn not to vote against compassionate governance. 000
