Can't believe Tom Kean, Jr. won't be in the next Congress. I'll miss his stirring rhetoric, like "Please don't make me go to work today" and "Dad, I'm scared."

not only is prosecuting Elon Musk for one set of crimes after the other until he is out of the way for good one of the most efficient levers for broad social benefit available, it would also be an opportunity to reframe "law and order" rhetoric for a generation

Oh look whose rhetoric has suddenly changed
Jeffries: "We're committed to moving the first 100 days to keep our word ... to bring about accountability, because we've seen unprecedented corruption that's been visited upon the American people. And we are committed to holding the crooks accountable ... "

Abbott losing to a Mexican woman after all that anti-immigrant rhetoric? The irony is DELICIOUS. 💅

This was an extremely unpopular tweet, partially because people misunderstood the intent & partially because Bluesky is a tiny homegenous hothouse filled with libs who establish their relative status by using the most heated & extreme rhetoric. Notheless, let me explain what was on my mind.
I would just beg everyone, very much including elected Dems, to vigorously reject the words "retribution" & "revenge." Do not say them. Object when others say them. That's not what's happening here. The words you want are "accountability" & "rule of law."

After a campaign where every Republican was calling him a terrorist the media are asking *him* if he plans on "dialing down the rhetoric"
El-Sayed: "I just pointed out the fact that constitutionally he's obligated to swear me in. And he did go to Ohio State University, which of course is a lesser university than the University of Michigan."

Is it just rhetoric that our media mostly represents the opinions of the capitalist class that owns them? Is it just rhetoric that nearly everything on earth is oriented around extracting profit and as much as possible so now life on this planet is facing an existential threat like climate change?

Dialing down the rhetoric? He was called a terrorist. He doesn't need to be gracious towards the Republicans.

America will not be healed by some unifying rhetoric. The country has been made materially worse by people who are openly vindictive, violent, and bigoted. It will be healed when those people are brought low.
Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

"Leaders' words matter and we need to hold folks accountable," says the unaccountable transphobe spewing hateful rhetoric against the most vulnerable of her voterbase
Q: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken?
Governor-elect Amy Acton: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.

Do you own a company where you live off the labor of others or do you have to work to live like most other people? Is it “just rhetoric” that people have to pay landlords for the luxury of owning a shitty temporary home? Is it just rhetoric that capitalists don’t pay people a decent amount to live?

wow -- Blanche on Fox News Sunday claims oversight from Dems is "not the way this country can survive or live with these ongoing threats ... if you work in this administration, you have a lawyer. It's me."
(Note that at the end even the Fox News host is a bit taken aback by Blanche's rhetoric ... )

Maximalism and rage-fueled rhetoric are going to make Stancil pop a forehead vein.
But, remember, folks, he explicitly admits that he knows this kind of rage-focused rhetoric gets views, and that he formulates his posts this way on purpose!

TBH, the hubristic belief that only a MN state house primary loser has a straightline understanding on the best strategic path forward and everyone else is clearly just a coward is a bit over the top.

Never dignify the rhetoric that certain conservative states should be “cut off” or allowed to secede or whatever. It’s always been an absurd notion, but even when it’s said sarcastically it dismisses millions of people trapped under the systems that made those states so horrible.
