How much for a trump barf bag, to catch the vomit induced by your fascist leering raddled face?

Hey, little sugar plums! Grandma (a citizen, thanks) says go ahead and research me. Or, you know, you could all do something useful, like walking west until your ugly red hats float.

Oh, wait, cancel that. We don't want you in our state or polluting the Pacific.

What a shame, watching the pathetic grasping at yet more control by a bunch of privileged white money grubbers, fellating their grotesque master at every opportunity.

Short form, for the internet generation: We're not buying it and we don't like you. Bye.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called โ€œkidsโ€ to excuse their hate. Theyโ€™re not boys and girls, theyโ€™re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Oh dear. Look what's fouling the air in here. Can the PTB at Bluesky please keep him from turning the blue sky into coal tar and farts, and remove his account? He has no divine right to be here.

They're also misogynist garbage fires. Mainstream media has zero cred left.

Let's also not forget that they boosted the two old White dudes in 2016 because it gave them clicks and white bro cred, while shitting all over Hillary Clinton? I went mano a mano w/Yashar over that and I haven't read their garbage rag since.

I found Trumpโ€™s racist attacks on Harrisโ€™s multiracial identity incredibly upsetting, the muted media response to it incredibly upsetting, and the NYT replicating those attacks on Mamdani via his national origin is also deeply upsetting

So, about that whole "spectacular success!" thing? Apparently, not so much.

Rumor has it that spineless suppository JD Vance is now contaminating bluesky. Hoping to amuse myself with some pointed ego-jabbing I searched but I came up empty. Has he abandoned this excellent place for the pus-infested yet safe (for him) teats of xitter? Or visiting his balls on trump's desk?

Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst gets her first Democratic challenger for 2026 In his launch, Nathan Sage touts his background as a veteran, mechanic and sports radio announcer, pushing for a party that "people like me will actually want to be a part of."

๐Ÿฆ‹
Republican Senator Joni Ernst's election is in 520 days

As she disgracefully responds to her constituents, concerned that Medicaid cuts will kill people, with โ€œWe all are going to dieโ€, now is a good time to highlight the Democratic candidate

So, Musk is leaving trumpville. Of course, that's after his teenage mutant incel hackers ("Big Balls"? I doubt it) illegally hacked millions of Americans' personal info. If you think he won't use it to his advantage, I have a bridge you might consider buying.

After two albums where half the songs were about Nicky Hopkins, and an entire mystery series (The JP Kinkaid Chronicles) whose narrator was Nicky's voice, he is finally being honoured by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. My first great love finally gets his due. #NickyHopkins #pianoman

Best way to kick the bastards feet out from under them is to make them feel the economic pain. We need to find a way to get millons of people into this. Mental health day, keep your money, piss off the $$ jackholes. What's not to love?

I took part in the complete spending and social media blackout yesterday. It felt great. Made music with my band, got stuff sorted for our studio, ignored the frenzy, no credit cards, no social media, no shopping. I plan on doing it again, in the very near future. Anyone else? Chime in, please!
