By the way, what we’re seeing with the #PaulPelosi situation is the other side of the hypocrisy coin. We have seen a lot of “it’s different when our side does it.“ Now we’re saying “it’s different when it happens to us.” 1/
2/ I mean this could be a moment when Nancy Pelosi says “having had violence brought home to me, I admit it has opened my eyes. I should have funded more security for supreme court justices… I should have chastised my daughter for praising Rand Paul’s attacker.”
3/ in other words, it would’ve been perfectly reasonable for Pelosi and other Democrats to have some introspection and growth

and that might still happen

but it ain’t likely

what’s more likely is that they will try to attach this attack to some conservative cause, whether…
4/ … the evidence fits or not, and they will use it as an argument to win the election and/or suppress conservative views. But they said none of these kinds of things when someone attacked Lee Zeldin and tried to stab him. Or when two dead bodies ended up on Zeldin‘s front door.
5/ Or that time Democrats rioted for around a year. Or on January 20, 2017, when Democrats rioted to try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump. Because they’re both sides of the same hypocrisy coin:
6/ “ it’s different when it happens to us, and it’s also different when we do it.” It is transparent as hell and you should push back against it at every turn. /end

If you want to understand why #Fetterman is unqualified for any legislative office, here’s an example. I am quite tweeting a thread I posted during the #Rittenhouse case, just after the gun charges were dismissed explaining the judge’s reasoning 1/
2/ it takes a lot of twists and turns to explain why the judge was right to say Kyle Rittenhouse could lawfully possess an AR-15 when he was technically 17 years old.

but whether you agree with the judge or not hear some thing all of us can agree on:
3/ this statute is very badly written.

If the Wisconsin legislature was trying to say that a 17-year-old could not carry long guns in public, they screwed it up. And if they were trying to allow 17-year-olds to carry such guns, they did a poor job of saying that, too

@CoyoteGrowl @PolitiBunny @SumErgoMonstro If you’re talking about January 6 or missing the essential legal point. It is not inherently illegal for a person to go into the capitol. Therefore you have to show something to indicate that they knew they couldn’t be there 1/
@CoyoteGrowl @PolitiBunny @SumErgoMonstro 2/ for instance I saw a video where around 50 people were piled near a side door that only opened outward. Some people slipped their fingers into the cracks and tricked open the door anyway. Those people with arguably no they weren’t supposed to go in that door…
@CoyoteGrowl @PolitiBunny @SumErgoMonstro 3/ but what about the guys in the back of the crowd who only see a door open and also, amazingly, see security guards saying stuff like “I don’t agree with you but this is your first amendment right”? Now you have a reasonable doubt as to their knowledge and understanding…

So it’s the night before #insurrectionmas and the democrats and the media will ritualistically tear their clothes trying to get Americans to care as much about it as they do.

They’ll never understand why we won’t.

Thread 1/
2/ Part of this is *they* were scared. I don’t deny it. I have long said that the most basic mistake many humans make is assuming everyone thinks like them, even when their experiences are not the same.
3/ so in a very human way, congressional Democrats and DC media think to themselves: “it was scary to me, therefore regular Americans must’ve been just as scared for us.”

But it wasn’t really the same for average Americans.

So I’ve been playing doom 64 on my PlayStation and I have to say I’ve been really enjoying it. I haven’t finished it yet but a few quick thoughts:

1. It is basically a game close in style to the original doom and doom 2. If you can’t handle graphics that are that primitive…
… this isn’t for you.

2. It is not a port of any doom game I know of. I have never seen these levels before, and there’s even a weapon I’ve never seen before. Hilariously when I picked it up the game said something like “what the &$@?! is that?” I laughed
3. The graphics are both better and worse at the same time.

3.a. The bad: your weapons never have animations for reloading. This is most noticeable with a super shotgun, bc you shoot, then hear a reload cycle, and until it’s done you can’t shoot again… But the gun doesn’t…

So I watched #encanto either the day it came out or the day after, but it was one of those situations where it was so chaotic in the house that I felt like I really wasn’t taking it in. So I watched it again in calmer circumstances. I think ultimately it’s a good but not…
… Great movie.

like remember in frozen where despite the existence of a nominal bad guy, the real conflict was just working out the differences between these two sisters and their love winning out? That was new and different…
#encanto is pretty much nothing but that. It really amounts to a family group therapy session. And because it’s not new, and because there’s pretty much nothing else happening, it’s not very good as a plot. A few other complaints include…

The more I listen to this the more disturbed I am. The argument of the parents should have seen this coming is reed thin.

Thread

cc @PolitiBunny @wjjhoge
2/ Let’s go over the evidence. First there is pretty strong evidence that the parents bought the gun in essence for #EthanCrumbley, the shooter. But before you think they are guilty of some kind of gun charge let me remind you of what the Rittenhouse case should’ve taught you:
3/ it’s more complicated than that. Michigan law does not completely prohibit minors from having guns. They prohibit them from having guns *in public*— and there are numerous exceptions to that ban in public. So even if they were explicitly letting him posses the gun…
