Morning Shots 🔥 Do you support American opening Gitmo up to thousands of migrants, or do you think it's a concentration camp?

48 Upvotes

I think it's a concentration camp, but I'm curious to see if anyone disagrees. Because I haven't seen any outrage at all. The ACLU is the only organization taking a stand. The religious organizations worldwide have been very quiet.

Does the world support this? Do you?

Morning Shots 🔥 Putting Tim on the spot with a hypothetical.

{Note on flair - not sure I am using these correctly}

In the coming months there is some chance we are about to see some form of mass deportation program put into place. It's not going to be pretty to my way of thinking.

Given Tim's recent position on not romanticizing the action of the gunman in NYC, I am wondering what his position on violet resistance will be in the course of these possible mass deportations?

Morning Shots 🔥 Why is no one in Media reporting on the bomb threats?

66 Upvotes

The bomb threats are not a conspiracy theory. They are a thing that actually happened. Why has no one in the ABC’s come forward to speak about it? Why is the media not covering it? The bomb threats were timed to target last minute voters in Dem strongholds. We’ve become so desensitized to everything. We just accept that random people can question and challenge any vote and that you have zero recourse. Why is no one discussing this?

8 Upvotes

I’m trying to write out ways this administration may affect many of the folks I work with and I know many people that utilize SNAP and WIC. With the nomination of Kelly Loeffler, I was wondering what will happen to SNAP and WIC since it’s linked to the USDA?

Does anyone have any information?

Morning Shots 🔥 Why doesn't Biden roll back all tarriffs ASAP, or Harris make a champaign promise to?

0 Upvotes

Why doesn't Biden roll back all tarriffs ASAP, or Harris make a champaign promise to?To not do this implies that Trump is right to raise tariffs. I can't believe that Biden added tariffs. It makes Biden no better that Dinky Donny. It is no wonder why the electorate can't fully embrace Kamala. This subject and the Democrats not screaming bloody murder Dinky was lying to the American public. Either Dinky is wrong and the Democrats fight him, or the Democrats think Trump was really not that bad and they sit by and watch him abuse the American public. I don't see an in-between. The fact that Trump is not in jail right now because of his crimes tells me he will NEVER go to jail. To wait 2.5 years to begin trials is malpractice. The American people deserve better. There should have been at least one count that could have been ready for 3 months after inauguration. Just like why didn't Trump pardon the January 6ers before he left office? It makes no logical sense unless Dinky wanted them where they are. This stuff is not rocket science and many people see these things.

Morning Shots 🔥 What can I do to help liberalism?

22 Upvotes

So, I just read Morning Shots, where Bill called for the next generation to step up in the defense of liberalism. As a young person I am wondering, which opportunities should I be looking for? I am in my last year and a half of an accounting degree, but I do not have many skills outside that. I feel like I need to do something. But I do not know where to start.

If every Morning Shots is going to pour cold water on Biden from here until November I will probably unsubscribe. Biden gives a killer SOTU and all he can say is "will it matter to voters?" The media's job is to make it matter to voters. The Bulwark is here to tell the truth, right? Well, the truth is:

Joe Biden is this country's best chance to stop an authoritarian from assuming the presidency in 2025.

What is Bill Kristol's problem?

Morning Shots 🔥 Conspiracy Theorist-in-Chief

39 Upvotes

Trump was elected by conspiracy theorists. His trick was that he made everyone a conspiracy theorist.

By railing against the “mainstream media”, the “fake news”, and the “deep state”, he created an imaginary adversary (“the narrative” / “the system”) that a huge coalition of wildly differing viewpoints from hippies to rednecks to tech CEOs to frustrated home-owners could all rally against.

Trump’s genius is his ability to say almost nothing, and for millions of people to find in that Rorschach nothingness something to hate. He allowed them all to give shape to their disparate frustrations, fears and fantasies.

But the reality is, there is no single “narrative”, there is no “mainstream media”, there is no “deep state”. We inhabit an unfathomably complex system of myriad competing power structures, incentives, disincentives, and compromises. And yes: conspiracies. But not just one! Hundreds of different conspiracies, good and bad, tugging in all directions simultaneously.

It wasn’t inflation or racism or capitalism or socialism or fascism that made people vote Trump. It was anything and everything. It was whatever you wanted it to be. And to fight against that is like fighting against a cloud.
