@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social I HYAYTE when critics give him an inch. "It may help budgets but..." No. Never. And budgets aren't the point. That kind of talk only harms, scrambling to find a reason he never gave to make it make sense to themselves. These quisling wanks who used to do good work, that required diplomacy, exist in a new realm now. Brutal honesty against the regime, or you're helping. No other path. The age of diplomatic footsie is dead, done, gone. They're cutting down ALL of the trees.
