This week the President of the United States walked around on the roof of The White House and yelled about nuclear weapons in a desperate bid to distract from allegations that he is a child sex trafficker.

Finally sat down to watch "The Life of Chuck," an all-time favorite @stephenking.bsky.social stories. (Okay, fine, every Stephen King story is a favorite story, full stop.) Lemme tell ya, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Sara, Jacob Tremblay, and Karen Gillan were PERFECTION.

This. There is no "reaching across the aisle," and there won't be until/unless we can restore a FUNCTIONAL democracy.

I live in House District 2 in Missouri. Notice the extreme gerrymandering in just this ONE district, much less the rest of the state.

LOL, no worries. I'm just jealous! ๐Ÿ˜‚ I've visited friends in the Casco area, but I'm from Downeast -- East Machias, just a hop & skip away from the border with New Brunswick CA. Still have a tiny seasonal camp I inherited from my grandparents on Gardner Lake.

Wait. There are Gen Xers out there who had no responsibilities? I was a below-poverty-line-food-stamps-and-gov't-cheese kid who did chores for elderly neighbors & raked blueberries every summer (Maine) so I could earn enough money for new schoolclothes. My brain can't parse this alternate reality. ๐Ÿ˜‚

It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.๐Ÿ‘‡

I block them all at this point. I donate directly to candidates I support. Plus, as a retired copywriter, I can't stand those garbage "begging" style emails. If I have to see one more candidate email that ends with "is there anything I can say?" I'll toss my keyboard across the room.

WTF with all the naked-as-a jaybird videos showing up in my feed? C'mon, Bluesky. If I'm not following an account (and I can assure you, I am NOT following the naked senior citizen that just zoomed in on her bazongas), that means I don't want to see their content. Ew.

For fellow blue dots in gerrymandered-red states, take heed from Missouri's saga. PS, everything in this article is 100% accurate. Stay frosty.

I was 3 years old. My teacher mom sat me down in front of that old console TV in our threadbare living room and said, this: "Watch this, sweetheart. Remember this. This is history." I did what she told me to: watched, soaked it in, remembered. I have never, ever forgotten. Thanks, Mom. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒ•

I've always been convinced this was completely staged. First, he's a born & bred con-man. Has been his whole life. This is who he is, it's his lifelong M.O. Second, we've seen Secret Service go into action before (Ford, Reagan) and this PALES in comparison in terms of response. Total sham.

I mean, just look at his eyes. I guess they aren't called "the windows to the soul" for nothing ... or in his case, the windows to the soulless seems more apt.

I'm glad they did, but my trust-factor for them remains incredibly low. ** Maybe ** they've seen enough to come out of their velvet shrouds. Maybe not. Proof will be in what they do next.

I'm 59. They still try, but I have no filter by now. I just shut that shit down. This, of course, is usually when I hear something lke "why so touchy?" ๐Ÿ™„ Bless their little hearts.

A photo of an email received from US Senator Eric Schmitt who has introduced a bill to protect ICE agents from "radicals." Missourians, we need to vote this guy and his equally fascist sidekick, Hawley, OUT.

Both of my Senators are fascist AF, but this one makes a point to email this kind of b.s. ๐Ÿ‘‡
