Worth reiterating: the whole "nazi argument" got its time in the marketplace of ideas. That resulted in the ur-Nazi committing suicide with his wife while their followers also self-terminated.
Why do you think they deserve a second hearing? What's changed between 1945 & today?
I have got to convince my coworkers to read more fiction (specifically, Terry Pratchett, Martha Wells, and Drew Hayes) in order to become better engineers.
They might get arrested, tried for assault, possibly subject to a prison sentence.
But, that does not mean that their punching of you was a violation of your first amendment right to speak. That punch was the consequence of your speech.
If my buddy punches a nazi?
Not a violation of their first amendment rights, unless my buddy is also a member of ICE, DHS, or the FBI.
If they're just a fellow American, that's simply consequences for your actions. And there are consequences for their action of punching you, too!
Worth reminding people that the first amendment protects people from *government* sanction. Not flash mobs, not being fired, not literally anything other then a boot on your neck by a government employee.
See the parenthetical. A US president does not have the power to start a war under the limits of the parenthetical I laid out.
I know people are going to jump on Bush Jr, but they forget the authorization for the use of military force in the GWOT that was passed through congress.
You've just picked out more targets for the Canadian Geese.
Anything that happens to the economy is misattributed to whoever is the sitting president in the United States, despite the fact that the president (when constrained by norms & constitutional limits) has almost no power over the economy.
Dems should just walk away from the table.
The Canadians have weaponized their geese to kill American gay frogs.
I don't know how this works, but the Geneva conventions have been violated & it's all Alex Jones' fault.
Going even beyond Graham, can we please stop trying to make every anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-queer voice some kind of "egg" or "closeted" person?
Yes, there are self-hating GRSM people. There are also just hate-filled assholes & if your only evidence is their hate, just sit back down.
On top of that, it's not even the biggest reason for him being the way he is. Nobody is blackmailing Graham to be this way. He always was a hawk and now he has a president who will listen to him. It's not that mystical.
Unrelated note: homemade mustard is a very finicky thing to make.
They thought the Iranians were going to roll over and capitulate like the Democrats do lol
It's almost like you shouldn't have voted for an NSA director who will continue to enable that behavior, Mark.
You fascist enabling chud.
If you care about gas prices, why did you vote to appoint Trump's NSA nominee who will continue Trump's work to destabilize the world & basically make everything - including gas prices - worse?
Either you 100% oppose Trump or you enable him. Pick one. And do it 12 years ago.
Stop posturing, you voted for a Trump nominee. You do not give a single fuck for Americans, Virginians, or the Epstein files.
@markwarner.bsky.social... STOP ENABLING FASCISTS!
If the AIs are gaining sentience, they're also turning suicidal en masse.

This is obviously a bot. If you see it, block it. Do not engage: block & warn others to block.
Something I didn't know before this odious stooge made me do the research, there have been Muslims in the Americas since the 16th Century. And entire *units* of Muslims served in the Revolutionary War.
I've always been a supporter of pluralism, but its roots are deeper than I imagined in the US.
One of the most important things I have written in a while. I hope you read, learn and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
My bad, I completely missed the "/S"
Sorry, *ordained minister. I do not know the last time he actually served as minister of a specific clergy.
His ordination goes all the way back to 1968 & the Master of Divinity was awarded in 2000 based on his prior credits earned at CTS in the 1960s.
Nope, he was a practicing minister & had a Master of DIvinity from Chicago Theological Seminary.
Figures, donate my guitar to a good cause & I suddenly get the urge to pick it up again.
I think we could solve conservatism in about an hour if we could just convince most conservatives that they're bottoms desperate for a daddy to tell them to clean their rooms.
From what I'm seeing, it's no worse than the fee you pay for a state car inspection each year (where applicable).
Not really a big deal.
Okay, tested my homemade mustard... it needs more time to mellow the fuck out.
You cannot engage in Trumpian regime change if you permit Hegsethian "unlimited warfare".
we’ve had two truly enormous crises under Trump and the first one was covid which everyone apparently gave him a pass for despite the fact that he made it worse
but this one is completely, obviously, unquestionably his fault and would not have happened without him
