Whoa. I'm glad we dodged that bullet. 🙄
@gwynnion Sounds so much like the Onion I know it’s a valid quote.

@gwynnion

Because allowing the Hard Right a full veto over every aspect of policy is a small cost for keeping my privileges intact, huh??

This is not a serious man leading a serious party. This is a tank job.

@AnthonyJK @gwynnion this is from last year, it says June 2023 in the photo. It’s not recent.

@tweetsjen @gwynnion

Biden is on record as late as his presser last night as saying that he still opposes any change in the SCOTUS setup, including adding more Justice seats; his only ideal solution is the "elect more Democrats" model.

The same model that got us George Latimer and Henry Cuellar.

Pardon me if I'm not hopeful in any real action on his behalf.

@AnthonyJK @gwynnion let’s not worry about facts then, those are unimportant 🙄 if the presser from last night says the same exact thing, they should’ve used that.

@tweetsjen @gwynnion

So, the fact that Biden restated last night what he has always believed about not altering the court makes referencing what he said last year.... irrelevant??

Also, note that while the screenshot does list last year's article, the first link to the Right references an article from yesterday resetting the SCOTUS decision.

If you are defending Biden's belief in voting harder rather than directly challenging the system that produces this, please do so a bit more directly.

@AnthonyJK @gwynnion as I said, I simply pointed out that it’s prudent to note the date. Your assumptions and accusations about whatever else I meant are completely unfounded and only serve to support the idea that facts don’t matter, as long as they support your personal narrative. I’m not here for that.

@tweetsjen @AnthonyJK @gwynnion

That's the point. Every f-ing ruling of the Supreme Court has damaged US democracy further and further and just gave Trump the magic wand for his dictatorship but keeping the door open to prosecute Biden, should he opt for any radical solution.

@silkester @AnthonyJK @gwynnion just because I said was it’s from last year and it is prudent to point that out does not mean I don’t understand what’s happening.
@gwynnion But they just gave him that power. Unlimited power is just that. I wish he'd use it.
@lhamilton1515 @gwynnion
If he even tried - it'd be brought before SCOTUS and 6-3 it'd be shot down and fuel an impeachment so fast we'd get whiplash.
This decision is an imperial presidency for conservatives only.
@gwynnion I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. This shit is… I have no words.
@gwynnion that's wild, good thing the highest court in the country that has the final say on the interpretation of the law isn't political.
@gwynnion has it not been political appointments?
@gwynnion the thing is that he believes it's still not politicized because the court hasn't been expanded.
@gwynnion
Yeah.... They voted straight down party lines saying their guy is immune.
It's incredibly short-sighted in that the current president is also now immune and is potentially placed in exactly the same situation with an election loss incoming.
Destroying the country to remain in power is now possible for Biden.
Assassinating his political rival is now possible for Biden.
Project 2024 can still be implemented by Biden, since he still has time.
@gwynnion It's like he's TYING to get Trump elected.🤢
@gwynnion
Wonder if he's regretting that now? 🤔

@gwynnion

i swear to effing god it's like he's trying to collapse the country.

@chu @gwynnion

We might be able to make him a trophy for his resounding success.

@gwynnion

Whew! If we did something like that who knows what would happen!

@gwynnion
If he does nothing, he is a traitor.
@gwynnion omfg, this week of all weeks, this is such a terrible fucking take of his.
@crystalvisits @gwynnion the date is in the photo, it’s from last year, June 2023
@tweetsjen @gwynnion ahhhh I forgot to look at the year -- I thought it was from last week. 🤦🏼
@crystalvisits @gwynnion a lot of people did. I would suggest the OP edit the post, it seems misleading to not mention the date.

@crystalvisits @tweetsjen @gwynnion

Nope! I doubt they did. The gallows humor is in the fact that this is from 2023.

@silkester @crystalvisits @gwynnion if you read the comments, there are people responding as such. Regardless, when you post something from the last, it is always prudent to point out it is from the past.
@crystalvisits @tweetsjen @gwynnion Biden restated the same again yesterday. He's sticking to his guns on this too.
The post's intention was to show his historical consistency. The post clearly stated in the alt text it was a 2023 headline.
@Amaru_Ca @crystalvisits @gwynnion I didn’t see any alt text when I wrote the comment and if the purpose is to show the historical consistency, I would think you’d use the actual comment to address that point.
@tweetsjen @crystalvisits @gwynnion If you missed the description that's one thing, if you & others didn't look at the image properly, another, but the original post's comment wouldn't make sense if they just shared Biden's restatement yesterday of his stance, knowing he still feels exactly the same about it.
Your basically asking them to have made a totally different post.
@Amaru_Ca @crystalvisits @gwynnion you’re making my point into something that it’s not. All I’m saying is that facts matter more than ever when one side is off the rails. There’s no need to use a post from 2023 to make a point if everything is the same.

@tweetsjen @crystalvisits @gwynnion Indeed facts do. And in order to make the point they did, they'd need to use a past statement from Biden as factual evidence. And no, everything isn't the same, not since the ruling.

The poster clearly isn't against facts or reality, nor is the post misleading.
If you think they're pointing out falsehoods you're barking up the wrong tree, but you do you.
Take care.

@[email protected] @crystalvisits @gwynnion if you scroll up and read the comments you’re replying to, you can easily see this comment “ahhhh I forgot to look at the year -- I thought it was from last week.”

So, please stop trying to tell me OP was not misleading. I’m not sure why you are trying to defend to a post that’s not even yours from last week, but I’m not going to continue to debate someone who’s making bad faith arguments. Stop attacking me for calling on people to do better.

@tweetsjen @crystalvisits @gwynnion I miss stuff all the time, but when I do, I don't project, deflect, blame others for my failing & falsely accuse them of misleading me. That'd be ridiculously narcissistic! OP you quoted admitted it was they who "forgot to look at the year". Facts matter. Yet you're blaming someone else on their behalf

Date was clearly written right under headline, but its true some never look at anything but.
As you keep indefensibly going round in circles, I'm out. Be well

@gwynnion
@LALegault
They've got to be working together. It's all one party, isn't it?
@JeremyMallin @gwynnion @LALegault They are not the same party, not even a bit. However they both play for the same group of wealthy elites and lobbyists working for corporations and such will gravitate towards oligarchy and in the process towards a fascist and totalitarian government.
@gwynnion he must have said this after 4pm forgetting the danger USA and thus rest of the world will be facing after November when granda pa jo hands presidency to a convicted felon on a platter at this rate.
@gwynnion These guys keep thinking they play by the rules long enough maybe the republicans will too
@gwynnion he must expand the court.
@gwynnion Capitulation. Once again. Dems are so good at this they could write a script.
