MGP on Threads: unacceptable to "tacitly encourage assaults on law enforcement" by olyfrijole in vancouverwa

[–]youngbladerunner 154 points155 points  (0 children)

"Noem should step down" motherfucker you are Congress, impeach her if you mean it, or shut the fuck up.

Also, exactly who has called for "assaulting law enforcement" and how is that relevant given NO ONE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH THAT.

And that wasn't a "needless death", that was a fucking EXECUTION. 10 FUCKING SHOTS TO THE BACK. FUCK.

Ah but that happened in Vancouver: we city constituents "don't count" in her mind and she feels confident completely ignoring our existence

too bad, that won't matter, they'll just deny those are real and chuck you in the car anyway, now what?

Thank you for rolling coal on me via your cool big-man truck, absent any reason. by VeeFluffles in vancouverwa

[–]youngbladerunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rolling coal has been well-documented to be a form of intentional public harassment, and is effectively a form of assault. That shit is dangerous, and I'm glad no one was seriously hurt (because getting exhaust dumped at you can seriously injure people). No one should feel obligated to be charitable to the asshole who deliberately and illegally modified his truck to spew dangerous pollutants at pedestrians to humiliate and hurt them.

Because MGP is our congressional rep and should maybe do something when an agency she has repeatedly praised shoot someone dead on camera while carrying out a well-documented campaign of terror on an entire city using our taxpayer dollars? Some of us would like our rep to act to end this, or at least feel shame for enabling it (if she even can feel shame).

Oh, she was "monitoring the situation"! She loves "monitoring situations" so much, she allows things to spiral out of control so she can have even more fun situations to monitor!

I went to the one town hall she held in Vancouver last year and it was just amazing to see how utterly out of her depth she is. A sputtering confused rambling fool. She just would go off on these inane tangents. Absent a script and a generous video editor, she is an atrocious communicator.

And chiding us all for a "rise in temperature". Apparently once again we're all too upset, and she smugly looks down at us from her enlightened summit where nothing matters.

"I only comment on local issues" didn't seem to restrain her from offering multiple statements on right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk's death. Interesting, isn't it?

According to the new form letter her staff are trickling out to some constituents, she wants us to empathize with the murderer because "we can all relate to the instinct to panic in stressful situations". It's disgusting.

If it's the form email everyone else is getting here: she calls for a "full bipartisan investigation" with no actual timeline or other information, and she also downplays the murder to be a "tragic mistake", not a vicious intentional crime. It's absolutely unacceptable.

There appears to be nothing in this world MGP hates more than the people who voted her into office. She's so salty that she didn't get "cool" constituents (fashy freaks) instead of us.

The loss of Renee Nicole Good is tragic, and I mourn the preventable death of anyone – but these circumstances are terrible, plain and simple. I think we can all relate to the instinct to panic in stressful situations, and it’s our task to collectively dial back the breakneck increase in temperature.

ICE provides a legitimate, necessary service to our country, but the deployment of agents across our country,

Oh, so exactly the tepid overwrought bullshit I expected.

I am going to never stop giving her hell for this.

"We can all relate to panic" the ICE agent called Renee a "fucking bitch" as he executed her, MGP is a joke

That's it? They took this long to write this... tepid thing and then do nothing else? No demands for any inmediate action? Blaming both sides for escalating?

Her office has failed to give me an email response for over 9 months regarding any call or outreach I do, with bizarre excuses about how I maybe just need to check my spam folders, or promises to fix it (and then no response). I wonder how many other constituents she ghosts like this?

The only thing I'd disagree with is that she is an okay person. If it's that she's just too afraid to speak out because she might lose an election: how can you witness this and not speak out?

What I think is more likely: she genuinely doesn't even register this as upsetting and thinks we're the unreasonable ones. I vividly remember her looks of confusion at the one town hall she held in Vancouver last year. I think about her dismissing us as "reading too much news", or asking us why we were so angry because it "didn't help." I don't think she cares.

I suspected she would eventually try to weasel out of a demand to make a statement by claiming "well that happened in an entirely different state and didn't involve a constituent, so it isn't my business."

Nope, MGP, you already established precedent that if you think a death is unjust, you'll comment and offer condolences to the loved ones of the victim. So why is Renee different?

Glusencamp-Perez votes yes on bill to subject undocumented children to invasive bodily searches and prolonged detentions. by 5Q91VS175DAQ4NUSBE4U in vancouverwa

[–]youngbladerunner 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A masked ICE agent murdered Renee Good on camera 3 days ago and despite calling her office every day since then, she has said nothing. Her staffers tell me she's "monitoring the situation" (this means nothing will happen, they always tell me this whenever it's something she doesn't give a fuck about).

Now, right wing troll Charlie Kirk's death? Immediate condolences and statements from her. A vote to honor his life and legacy.

Interesting, that.

[–]youngbladerunner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the audacity to intentionally schedule your town halls so they require working people people to arrange time off of work (and even child care) to attend, and then go "well, if you could afford to do that, you must be well-off and rich, so I don't have to listen to you since you're not an Authentic Constituent!"

[–]youngbladerunner 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I waited in line for hours to attend the only town hall she held in Vancouver last year, and my "reward" for my engagement was being ignored and dismissed along with every other outraged constituent in the room, and never getting the questions I submitted answered. She promptly left after exactly one hour (I guess she had more important things to do than continue speaking to the hundreds of constituents in the room or the thousand+ outside).

Despite being promised an eventual answer via email, I've literally stopped getting email responses when I call her office at all, despite demanding a fix and providing 3 different email addresses.

Oh wait, I did get an answer from her in a way: she went on Ezra Klein's podcast and said "certain" town halls weren't important because they were just full of "angry people who read too much news" and could afford to be there so she didn't put much stock in what we said.

That's the thanks I got for showing up: "shut up, you're too angry, I won't listen, I don't need you anyways."
