President Biden FTW





If America defaults on its debt, our economy would fall into recession and our nation's global reputation would be damaged.

MAGA House Republicans should stop playing brinkmanship with the full faith and credit of the United States.

It's a manufactured crisis.

There isn't a single one in support. THIS is a change Muskrat made. We're allowed to see their tweets but any supportive comments are buried under hate or hidden. And NO this isn't a 'settings' thing. It's a Muskrat thing.

So assholes like RooshV are back with their conspiracy theories about Jewish "degeneracy", Nick Fuentes and his "Groypers" are free to spew white supremacy and anti-Semitism, etc. Pretty much everyone who was deplatformed has been brought back.

There was a bit of a dust-up this weekend when Elon Musk announced his choice for the new Twitter CEO (apparently because of the concerns of advertisers). The reason the chuds were so upset? The CEO is a woman, and she did a stint at the World Economic Forum, a favorite institution for the conspiracy theorists on Twitter.

...to pay for a blue checkmark. (She's probably pissed off that blue checks are no longer "earned"; you just pay them off to get one). I remember a few years ago, Loomer lost her blue check for multiple hate speech incidents; this was shortly before she was deplatformed entirely. Naturally, she compared what in fact were the predictable consequences of her own actions (deplatforming) to being a Holocaust victim.

If Twitter is bringing back people like Loomer, it's definitely time to delete your account.

Of course he (muskrat) is influencing the content and the responses.

It's shameful that the US government (POTUS and others) don't have a messaging feed that can be trusted and moderated. I hate to see so many official sites using facebuck as a way to transmit content.

When pointing fingers at Rs he always refers to them as MAGA reQublicans, we should follow suit,
they are the biggest threat to Democracy.

He's going after the MAGA wing of their party, everyone from Hillary to Adam Schiff are calling out the MAGAts.
Is the plan to get voters not to trust MAGAts because they are evil/stupid and vote them out hopefully?
My gut feeling is there's a reason elected Ds are using that term more & more, tie them to tfg because
they know he's going to jail? Not all Rs are bad but these MAGAts are?

As for twitler, I am suspecting that the only people reading the replies are their authors.

All "social media" should have GD replies turned off.

With the exception of DU.

Hmmmmmm. Might make a great browser extension! (Gets out programming tutorials)

He should say Republicans brought this on themselves.

THEY have the “power of the purse!” If they want to cut spending they can do that RIGHT NOW! The debt limit has ZERO impact on that.

Extend the debt limit - or OWN what comes after!
It’s on YOU!
