A company has brought a product to market called vax-bestos. They claim it insulates and prevents fires. Benefits that will clearly save lives in the short term. The FDA approved this product based on short term studies.
@SuitableAlias As a result, this product has been put in buildings everywhere. One expert has concerns that there is potential that vax-bestos could cause cancer but since there are no long term studies it is impossible to know if this line voice is correct.
@SuitableAlias Instead of allowing this lone voice, an unquestioned expert in carcinology, the central authorities (Twitter) decide it is too dangerous in the short term to let people die of fires or cold and, since this sole voice may create skepticism leading to death, they ban him.
@SuitableAlias Another guy who self describes as an expert in nothing (Scott) who chose to fill his buildings with vax-bestos, thinks the central authorities decision based on short ter data is conclusive so he champions their determination, mocks those who disagree and applauds the banning.
@SuitableAlias You will never guess who the vax-bestos champion, Scott, blames once he gets cancer later in life…
Don’t be a Scott

The DeSantis supporters are engaged in a redux of the 2016 meme that the Dems are hoping for Trump to run based on his vanity because it assures them the Whitehouse. And it’s corollary that Trump doesn’t mind destroying Republican chances.
Many Trump supporters immediately rejected the notion based on our views of Trump and our understanding of how he played the game of politics, ongoingly baiting the other side into growing levels of insane analysis of him and his motives. 2/13
However, they had the supposed evidence and at that point we had effectively seen none of it.
From that point on, as every drip of information came out, this corner of Twitter grabbed onto it like dogs on a bone. Chewing through it and seeking to interpret how it fit. 3/13
McCarthy likely saved 6-10 seats by allowing those members to vote for the BIF. He didn’t fascilitate the passing of the bill because I just don’t believe that in the scenario where literally no Republicans voted for the bill, that the squad, who cast “principled” no votes… 1/5
“because BBB wasn’t being voted the same day”, would have in the 0 Rs scenario not have just voted for the bill.
Once it was clear to McCarthy that the bill was going to pass, the question became what was the best way to play THAT hand. 2/5
Those arguing that McCarthy is weak because he let his members “help Pelosi pass the bill” just misunderstand how the process worked. Each of the factions were leveraging to get the most value out of a vote that was inevitable. 3/5
