    Why would he be fired for hitting his talking points? They feed him the line and he speaks the line.

    If there is backlash enough, a canned apology is transmitted. If the response goes the other way, they consider the window shifted and prepare for the next milestone.

      We’ve never been the target audience, so boycotting this dumpster doesn’t really cancel anything. Their audience is fine with his rethoric.

        As much as I like Michelle Obama, her idea of “when they go low, we go high” is really slitting is in the wrist right now. It really doesn’t work when the low side’s bar is non-existent. Personally, I’ve always been a fan of “when they go low, we curb stomp them out of existence”.

    But Kirk or that United Health CEO or a politician or a business leader are all off the table. Calling for the killing of masses of undesirables is fine but don’t dare suggest that for the people who decide to actually kill those masses.

    I think we should really put numbers to this and highlight the severity of his statement. According to numbers reported in The 2024 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress, he casually suggested killing around 771,480 people. https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/2024-AHAR-Part-1.pdf

    That’s close to the population of Seattle. https://www.seattle.gov/opcd/population-and-demographics

    Anyone on the left would have lost their job in a heartbeat.

    It’s time to stop holding those on the left to an entirely different, higher standard. It isn’t working and it only gives the fascists more power. This country is absolutely pathetic right now. Time to start putting some feet down and holding the line.

          They are not pro genocide. They just understand nuance. You can be pro-Israel and anti-genocide. It requires mental capacity to also understand we can’t just abandon our ally because they have a shitty leader(s).

          Should our allies abandon us because we elected Trump?

          Purity tests are dangerous.

          Do you really think Harris would be this hands off on Israel had she been elected?

            Gotta love how it’s only a purity test when it’s progressives asking for concessions from the center. When the center doesn’t want to compromise it’s never obstinacy, it’s merely “pragmatism” but the left is expected to concede nearly everything. Phooey!

            You can be pro-Israel and anti-genocide.

            That’s like saying you can be pro-nazi-germany and anti-nazi. There is no nuance in sending billions of dollars in weapons to a country actively committing genocide. That can only be taken to mean support for genocide.

                We do know, because they had a year to stop it and instead they illegally gave Israel every bomb and bullet they wanted, even diverting weapon shipments from our other (slightly less) fascist puppet during a literal invasion, even going around congress to keep the weapons flowing, using diplomatic pressure and literally bombing other countries who tried to stop it.

    But if you make a mean comment about an open white nationalist Nazi who got 360 quickedscoped they want to dox your job. You can’t make this reality up.
