    “Did you hear about that crash in Washington?” “Yeah, the Republicans took $3.8m in bribes from Delta to let them cram in an unsafe number of flights, and now 70 people are dead”

    That’s it, that’s the response. No Republican will read this if you send them a link. Just give them true sound bites.

    If they say DEI, just ask them about the bribes. If they say terrorism ask them about the bribes. If they blame Biden ask them about the bribes. Don’t engage with any sentence that doesn’t include the word bribe.

      While republicans are generally shit and mostly known for crap like this, unfortunately this was a bipartisan fuckup (accepting bribes from Delta that is)… Excerpted below: “The measure’s sponsor, Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT),… Delta’s political action committee was also among the top contributors to the bill’s cosponsor, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA)”

        Eh, they blamed Biden and Obama for tons of shit that has nothing to do with them. What goes around is all around.

        Also this is a literal flaming example of the kind of world an underfunded and cancelled agency US will look like.
