I will never forgive the people who helped mainstream that absolute scum Rufo.
Rufo is calling for DC to be put under martial law here (Bukele famously suspended the Constitution & ended most due process rights)
Trump will, most likely, sloppily arrest a lot of people, & disappear a lot of unhoused people, claiming he "solved crime" (but it will all be security theater)
Even in his own tweet, he makes it obvious that his goal is to implement authoritarianism while avoiding it being labeled authoritarianism.
imagine speaking of bukele in a positive light in the us 😖
You mean like the fucks over at Morning Joe?
You can’t stop crime by occupying a city, because you can’t occupy a city indefinitely. There are underlying causes for crime if you don’t address those you haven’t solved the problem.
34-felon is practicing on LA & DC to see if he can declare Martial Law nationally, cancel elections and maintain power. It would have happened if we'd had a government shutdown (but Democrats saw thru that tactic & prevented it). If the Texas power grab doesn't work, watch what comes next.
@kenwhite.bsky.social I will cheer when Rufo ends up in the gulags, though.
The editors of the NYT are class A scum.
He is such a juicy target…I don’t understand why our glorious fourth estate hasn’t swarmed him.
Same
Just read his profile. What an absolute nobody. Hasn’t done a GD thing in life. A complete house cat.
I will never forgive people who helped mainstream The Heritage Foundation and anyone who ever spent time there.
Father of the critical-race-theory boogie man.
As always, it's a question of how many people in the field. He's got 800 National Guardsman, and the FBI and DEA guys seconded to the field. The DC Police will probably be lackluster in their response, merely going through the motions. And there are about 700,000 residents in the district.
::cough:: @nytimes.com
This is in fact my main beef with Megan McArdle. I do like seeing and understanding her analysis, but she has no shame in reposting Rufo - probably because he's about the median Twitter poster nowadays.
sounds like a plea for all DC residents to do lots of crime there chris puko
he is filling a role
Literally never heard of Rufo until now. Thanks for making him known to us.
It just seems odd that these MAGA cultist, ultra right-wing lunatics are all married to 'non-white' immigrants while they expend all their energy on demonizing any human being remotely 'dark skinned' & brutalizing immigrants & asylum seekers.
How does one solve a crime spree that exists only in Donald's twisted brain? How long will our federal government be in taxpayer-funded service to the whims of a racist madman?
Absolute scum of the earth. Lower than the lowest fuckin worm.
👏👏👏👏
That is an offense to scum. Rufo is less than dirt.
That contemptible charlatan. That parasite. That pseudo-intellectual swindler is worse than an evangelical preacher.
belongs selling used cars. And those who gave him publicity belong in hell.
Whenever I see his name, I can only think "That piece of shit?" before ignoring anything that comes after it
Martial Law is coming to the U.S. His progressive armed actions show it. Yet HE IS the convicted Felon out free-loading and free-roaming. He should be treated like intact male feral cats -- trap, neuter then incarcerate (not release).
It makes my heart hurt! He hates people with disabilities!!! I HATE him!!!
Calling him a “journalist” is kind of like calling orange soda a serving of fruit
Does one have a name that sounds like Mulzberger?
It's worth noting that the Bukele myth that he single-handedly turned El Salvador from a lawless wasteland into law and order paradise, is abundantly contradicted by actual crime data showing the the murder rate had fallen sharply for several years prior to him entering office.
That fuck Chris Rufo sicced hundreds of the nastiest, most vile bots on my X account over some posts he didn't like about his shady not-for-profits. I repaid him with a post about his manhood or lack thereof.
I have been summoned to say that the New York Times can raise its hand for Rufo along with transphobia and genocide and an endless list of things.
On the plus side, you get to see the fear. Speed matters.
He knows they're on fucking borrowed ass time. Which is worsened because now there's the whole "Maxwell is no longer even in jail" thing.
Anyone else reminded of Escape 2000 with this shit? It has those vibes but better chance to beat.
Proudest block I ever received on the other site was calling Rufo so many effective insults he finally blocked me. I'm a teacher and spent time pointing out that he doesn't care about students or actual pedagogy. He couldn't stand to be reminded, I suppose.
As an alum of New College I second this sentiment
This takeover of DC feels different than all the previous outrages and scandals…like we are nearing the precipice of something very dark from whence we might not return.
Is it considered snitch tagging if I tag the @nytimes.com here?
@kenwhite.bsky.social Has anyone taken the time to compare Rufo's role in the current waves hands around in a blend of sadness, anger, and resignation millieu to that of Julius Streicher? It's about time something like that stuck to this asshole.
Wee fecker. Claudine Gay was in his sights. Why are he and Bill Ackerman in charge now?
I have high hopes for Rufo when all of this over.
As in, I hope the scaffold is very high.
Fucking Rufo, you mean.
So many scumbags, so few guillotines.
What are the chances that if people are actually arrested by NG their cases get thrown out just for that fact?
Half of them work for the NYT and most of them live in big cities but hate the people that live there.
He is a Nazi scumbag of the 1st degree!
Guys like Rufo love to sit back and call for peoples heads to be cracked.
Just soft
The dumbest part is he would say out loud “I’m going to manipulate people into doing this thing” and then he’d still be able to do it! Just willing gullibility.
He is a terrible human being, a racist and fascist...but incredibly talented at messaging and moving a**holes...can't agree with you more
Chris Rufo thinks the Flintstones is a documentary
whoa whoa let's not denigrate scum by comparing it to Rufo
I wish them all an extra week in purgatory 😡
Look, I know it'll never pass First Amendment muster, but since we'll have been playing Calvinball for years by our next opportunity, I think it's fine to play some offense in the game of Calvinball and [REDACTED] anyone who publicly called out by name the dictator they wanted the US to imitate.
As a New College of Florida alum, I find him particularly loathsome.
I truly despise Rufo. Every_single_project he's undertaken that I've had the displeasure of seeing has been fundamentally dishonest propaganda meant to make our country worse.
And it's not even well done. He just has an audience of willing rubes and bigots that ignore the obvious flaws.
Rufo and Libs of TikTok responsible for 100% of ridiculous MAGA culture wars. (That unfortunately worked on many voters.)
Best I could do. Letter to the Orlando Sentinel, Jan 31 2024:
RUFO? Really Unhinged Fat Orange?
Does it count as getting played if the victim really wanted to get played?
He is a college trustee that @nytimes.com has used as a legitimate source to explain why "woke" is bad.
He even explains his cons but they didn’t care.
The thing I dislike about Rufo the most is that everytime I read about him I have to think about "Rufio" from "Hook," and I just cry that I can't throw imaginary pink slime at him. Bangarang!
those two swords crossed, what the hell are those?
You can thank Ron DeSantis for puffing him up, and giving him the (mutual) support he needed to fuck over New College in Sarasota.
His second point is right though…speed matters. Unfortunately.
DC Police are still obligated to follow the law.
