[2016]

Buttigieg dissects the trump dynamic well here. Ultimately, his behavior is so nonstop unhinged that his allies frame people as biased just for responding normally. You saw it post-debate when they cried foul when just a few of his lies were fact-checked by the moderators.

Excuse me they are concepts of plans

It’s absolutely perfect content & I mean it

One thing about Trump is that he demolished reproductive rights and brags about it. He also put us in a manufacturing recession and pointlessly cut taxes for the very rich. He also failed to manage Covid and lied about it stoking an anti-vax movement in this country.

The thing about project 2025 is that while some insane stuff they want to do won’t pass congress, the completely feasible part of it is staffing the administrative state with groypers and preventing that is existentially important

Republican Party so regressive that a teen movie from the 90s has more compassion.

Having lived through "but her emails" and "but he's old" it is shocking that Trump and Vance signal boosting neo-Nazi lies and putting an entire community in danger isn't a wall-to-wall 24/7 scandal. The media in this country is aiding and abetting fascism

It is exclusively Republicans doing this. Not “federal politicians”.

Vance saying "dude I've always liked you" on twitter while desperately trying to backpedal on his Kristallnacht posting might be the most pathetic thing a vice presidential candidate has ever done

Eighty percent of House Republicans have signed onto a plan to raise the retirement age. Trump and Vance say they won't do it, but their tax ideas accelerate Social Security's bankruptcy and they are huge liars. slowboring.com/p/house-republ…

The US has the strongest economy in the world, and the best growth record. We have problems, and we need problem-solvers not bullshitters who impede solutions, lie to promote hysteria, and want to unleash a bunch of changes nobody wants to abortion rights and health care.

Remarkable confession by JD Vance this morning when he said he will “create stories” (that is, lie) to redirect the media. All this to change the subject away from abortion rights, manufacturing jobs, taxation of the rich, and the other things clearly at stake in this election.

Buttigieg: "Obviously they don't want to talk about the particulars of the Trump-Vance healthcare plan, because they don't have one. They have this so-called 'concept of a plan' that they keep saying is around the corner. He's been saying that for 9 years"

If Trump wins with this level of naked racism, the message is going to be “this is what works in American politics and we should absolutely keep doing this”.

Moore is right: Vance is diminishing and ignoring local leadership in Springfield trying to stop the chaos. Reminds me of East Palestine, where Vance and Trump were happy to squeeze the town for politics and then stopped caring, with Republicans stalling the Railway Safety Act.

A fun thing that has gone under the radar is that JD Vance said this morning that Trump’s healthcare plan is to “deregulate the insurance industry” so say goodbye to the ACA and protections for preexisting conditions.

The Republican plan is to leave us all to the tender mercies of corporations and blame any issues on immigrants. They’re flatly telling us that.

That’s right. Pete Buttigieg has been saying this for a while. They were obsessing over trans people before. That didn’t seem to work so now they’re back to old reliable. Fear-mongering about immigrants.

The crazy thing about Trump posting that he hates Taylor swift is that he wants to repeal the ACA and completely deregulate the insurance industry leaving people at the mercies of corporations that will squeeze their health problems for every penny.
