Yeah, in a non-political context, it’s one of those things where you’d go yeah you shouldn’t have done that, even if it’s dumb it’s still illegal, but nothing crazy. But because it was obviously politically motivated and intentionally cruel because of it, it’s easy to be on his side

This was entrapment. The Feds created the suggestion of murder for hire while Ross showed no prior predisposition for it. The chat logs authenticity is also disputed. The other (admittedly circumstantial) part is that if these were dead to rights accusations why was he never charged? It certainly was not a lack of political will

“It’s a Roman salute” = “I want to show that I know history” he’s not trying to “honor Rome” or whatever ❌ Out of context stills of Dem politicians = Equivocating, they are also not making Nazi salutes. Moving your arm out wide is a very natural human gesture ❌ Awkward autistic gesture = He’s saying he sends his heart out to J6 prisoners and makes a gesture grabbing his heart and releasing it outward. A more self aware person would stop themselves ✅ “Elon is intentionally making a salute to the Nazi party/Hitler because he agrees with that ideology” = log off, clear your mind, get mental help ❌

It’s not stupid to have those concerns about an executive, but it’s probably safe to say that these risks are not at all unique to an executive. What is the reason that Congress should have authority on joining the WHO but the president shouldn’t?

A lot of these EO’s are bringing up something weird which is we have an instinctual reaction that executive authority is unstable, chaotic, unreliable, given to authoritarianism, and we instead have power in Congress, where we don’t really have the same concerns in what is and has been a clear oligarchy

It’s so weird how I personally happen to be living through the only time in history when this is actually 100% true

Don’t know what to make of what I’m seeing but anecdotally: I’ve seen some (maybe 30%) of takes that are mildly positive or neutral. I’ve seen a lot (60%+) of takes that are moderately to extremely negative. I’ve seen a few people (10% or less) that think it’s a transcendent positive moment for crypto
