"The GOP has abandoned their William F Buckley-style coded intellectual rhetoric, designed to make Republicans feel warm and cozy about their racism, in favor of just grabbing weapons and shooting people." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
"The KKK hood is off. It's in your face. The rhetoric is backed by new authoritarian state laws created to install their neo-confederates into positions of power so that they are the ones who certify elections." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
"There is a vast legal and media right wing apparatus designed to protect not only this Kyle Rittenhouse, but all future Kyle Rittenhouses." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
"The right are using Rittenhouse to send a message to protesters. If you go to a protest, you will have in the back of your mind the possibility that a Rittenhouse may show up, shoot, and get away with murder."

"It appears that someone in the Biden administration finally realized that you cannot sell yourself as 'the infrastructure president' when you are allowing the destruction of a vital piece of infrastructure like the US postal service." patreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
"Biden is finally removing USPS Chairman of the Board of Governors Ron Bloom, the man responsible for protecting postal service wrecking ball Louis DeJoy. That's good news, but Biden could have done this months ago. Bloom was a holdover who could have been removed at any time."
Our June @gaslitnation episode "Why Are the Democrats Keeping Louis Dejoy?" details Ron Bloom's shady ties. Vet your officials, folks! And ask why they are allowed to linger in place when they are helping to destroy the country.

"Kyle Rittenhouse has become a favorite of right-wing elites who like to cloak their own lust for power under the veneer of vigilante justice." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…
"The Rittenhouse case is an extension of the broader crisis of elite criminal impunity – the same crisis we have been discussing on @gaslitnation for years, in which criminals who commit blatant crimes go free due to their wealth, power, and network of corrupt legal fixers."
"Sadly, at this point in our history, loathing of elite criminal impunity is what's left to bind Americans together. Disgust with billionaires like the Sackler family or Jeffrey Epstein, who abuse for decades without consequences, is near universal." patreon.com/posts/dejoy-of…

I’m a huge Attack on Titan fan. Gosar’s video 1) sucked 2) understood the message of AoT as well as Ronald Reagan understood “Born in the USA”, ie not at all, got it 180 degrees wrong 3) was obviously threatening AOC and others while trying to pass it off as a joke
Also Gosar has clearly not read the manga and does not know what happens to Eren Yaeger, but I’ll stop there as I do not want to emulate Gosar-esque commentary.

Shinzo wo sasageyo to accountability in Congress!
There have been many occasions where I, too, have related to scenes from Attack on Titan, yet I have managed not to threaten a member of Congress! ImageImageImageImage

So many people, esp elderly folks, are struggling with the purposeful destruction of USPS under Trump and then Biden. They don't get bills on time, can't pay them, are charged late fees. Some struggle to get medicine. Biden could fix this now by firing Rom Bloom and then DeJoy.
USPS is vital public infrastructure. Its destruction is one of the most ominous signs that the Biden admin is on board with the prior admin's plans to strip this country and sell it for parts, regardless of who is hurt. This is how you behave if you don't care if the US survives.
We did a @gaslitnation episode on Ron Bloom and Louis DeJoy months ago. Here's the thread; articles are also linked inside:

"Nordstream2 is a way for the Kremlin to turn energy into threats and blackmail. They've done this before, turning off Ukraine's gas in the dead of winter, and they are now using gas as a weapon against the EU." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/infrastr…
"If Angela Merkel and other EU leaders had stood up to the Kremlin blood money greed machine, including Putin pal and former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, this crisis could have been avoided." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/infrastr…
Bizarrely, Ted Cruz is on the right side of the Nordstream2 conflict despite previously being content to have an actual Kremlin asset as POTUS and oligarch lackeys flooding the GOP. We discuss why on @gaslitnation! Listen here: patreon.com/posts/infrastr…

"Bannon chose David Schoen to represent him. This is same lawyer who represented Trump at his second impeachment hearing. Why did they choose him? Because Schoen is a mobster lawyer." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/infrastr…
"Besides representing the Russian, Israeli and Italian mafias and Donald Trump, Schoen represented Roger Stone and was planning to represent child rapist and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in 2019. David Schoen was the last person to see Jeffrey Epstein alive." -- @gaslitnation
"Everyone deserves legal representation. But there's a type of lawyer who goes out of their way to rep the worst people in the world. These lawyers include Trump's mentor Roy Cohn, his legal advisors Alan Dershowitz and David Schoen, and Merrick Garland's mentor Jamie Gorelick."
