This is absolute unambiguous nuttery.

It is so sad that there are people on the right that see reality through this lense making things that are so much less important the master of things that are critically important.

Politics will not solve cultural shift.
Moreover it may trigger your idea of freedom or constitutional rights but states outlawing vaccine mandates is both legally dubious and bad policy.

State governments shouldn’t get between employers and their attempts to keep their employees safe.
If they start here, where else does government take this power from private businesses? Who compensates injured employees?

States have neither the funds nor expertise to decide what health requirements businesses use to keep their employees safe.
And keep in mind in many circumstances states are requiring vaccinations. So it’s both bad policy and hypocritical.

Let businesses make decisions for their employees. If these decisions are wrong, employees can sue to either stop the requirement or for injuries from the vaccine.
And Noem was exactly right. The recourse for employees that disagree with the mandates beyond suing their employer? Quit. Go get another job.

The Governors responsibility? Keep their state’s economy robust so employees have choices.
Does that make me a “build you own internet Republican”?!?

No. It makes me a rational thinker even in the midst of highly charged and difficult times.

The new call to EXERT POWER CUZ DEMOCRATS! Is great in many ways but it also has its potential to become Frankenstein’ monster.

🧵From the desk of 45 on crazy Nancy Pelosi:

Nancy Pelosi is spending a great deal of time, effort, and money on the formulation of a Fake and highly partisan January 6 Committee to ask, “what happened?”
Will Nancy investigate herself and those on Capitol Hill who didn’t want additional protection, including more police and National Guard, therefore being unprepared despite the large crowd of people that everyone knew was coming?
Will Nancy and her Committee study the massive Voter Fraud that took place during the 2020 Presidential Election, particularly in swing states, that was the reason hundreds of thousands of people came pouring into Washington and, therefore, must be a big factor…

I’ll simply say this.

If McConnell wanted to defeat Herschel, he likely would’ve waited longer.

This feels more like an attempt, possibly by team Trump, to inoculate Herschel early against this information.
See in the lead up to considering running Herschel would have reviewed all potential damaging information available or accessible in the public realm.

He knew this could come out.

So then you have a choice. Try to avoid it or confront it early.
If you decide to confront it early then the question is how do you push out this information and what framing is it given.

As a result of this coming out via @AP, team Herschel can make this about McConnell attempting to interfere in Georgia.

I generally accept and even mostly agree with Jenna’s point.

Except that a fiscal conservative could also be socially liberal.

In fact we have both blue dog Democrats and Republicans Governors of mostly blue states as current examples.

1/5
So saying I am a conservative could mean you fiercely believe in defending individual liberties as delineated in the bill of rights AND believe a woman should have the right to an abortion. Or to be a porn star. 2/5
Yes mostly people presume that a conservative is a person committed to maintaining or conserving the culture or even a religious conservative orthodoxy but it is actually false to say that a these are intrinsic to being a conservative.

It’s an aspect of conservatism. 3/5

I’m going to try to break down my issue with how Tucker rolled out the NSA story.

First of all, Tucker broke his own story.

Supposedly because he was approached by an NSA whistleblower. 1/
This meant he had total control of how the story was “reported”.

When he told his audience the story that NSA was collecting his coms he also gave a why. He said they were targeting him specifically with the intent of destroying him, “take my show off the air”. 2/
At the time he was breaking “news”, he withheld a key piece of information that his audience should’ve been told because it would’ve affected their understanding of the story and undercut the claim he was making. It’s like a prosecutor withholding exculpatory evidence. 3/

“Similarly, Justice Alito criticized attempts made to paint the entire legislature as racist based on a “racially-tinged” video and unfounded claims of voter fraud made by one politician, writing:” 1/3
“Under our form of government, legislators have a duty to exercise their judgment and to represent their constituents. It is insulting to suggest that they are mere dupes or tools.” 2/3
