Secretary of Trans, Pete Buttigieg shows once again he owns #Trump

Taiwan will hold its contentious presidential and legislative election on January 13, with millions of Taiwanese voters expected to vote and elect a new president to lead the democratic island amid heightened tensions across the Taiwan Strait.

Some analysts say the election outcome could significantly impact Taiwan’s direction in the next four years and the dynamics between China and Taiwan.

@GottaLaff A "pledge" means nothing to him so I assume the reason he didn't sign it was to troll the public and get the media to focus on it. I don't think it's important or worth focusing on because all pledges or oaths taken by Trump should be considered broken by default.

Hey, remember how Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch #PLAGIARIZED a large portion of both his book AND his academic articles and he still sits on the Supreme Court?

My understanding from republicans is that this makes him ineligible for a position of power.

“I would apply an academic writing standard,” said Berenguer, who teaches plagiarism and legal writing. “Even if it were a legal opinion, it would be plagiarism under either.”

Neil Gorsuch, yep.
Neil Gorsuch yearbook quote "The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer".

This quote was met with some skepticism online, but it was confirmed to be genuine.

Constituents demand more than 'thoughts and prayers' from GOP senators. Americans are sick and tired of the never-ending gun violence. Email your Republican senator to make it clear: Their inaction is costing lives. https://act.indivisible.org/letter/tell-your-republican-senator-weve-had-enough-their-thoughts-and-prayers?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

If refusing to say "genocide is bad" lead to her resignation, why doesn't @NikkiHaley's inability to state that slavery was the root cause of the Civil War have the same consequence?
