I’m tired of reading the phrase, “My big, beautiful bill.” As per usual, the MSM plays right into Old Orange Puss’ hands by repeating it ad nauseum. Let’s help them out by suggesting a new, more accurate shorthand description. My offering: “His 50 pound waste of BS smeared paper.”

Raising our voices November 30, 2024

Musk’s recent post calling Alexander Vindman a “traitor” and saying he will “pay the price” should be the line that causes the remaining people of goodwill on Twitter to leave. See my commentary on Substack: roberthubbell.substack.com/p/raising-ou...

I’d prefer the Leslie Jones intervention. May not be as fast, but much funnier!

Elon Musk gets a lot of hate.

But not nearly enough. We can do much better!

Hard to argue with this.

I can’t believe that even Brit Hume would say something so stupid. None of the “never Trumpers” that I can think of (sorry, George) came out the other side with an increase in power. An increase in respect from progressives, yes, but not actual power.

I don’t think that was me. Are you talking about the IM chat I formed to let Pamela’s friends that she had passed? That’s what it sounds like.

This is true, of course. The problem is, they’re fine with it.

I just unliked Daily Beast. Have followed them for upwards of a decade, but I finally just got tired of their BS.

I just saw another fundraising post which promises that whatever amount I donate will be matched by some shadowy figure, thereby doubling or tripling the amount donated. This has always struck me as sketchy. So, if I don’t donate, the shadowy entity won’t either? No sir. I don’t like it.

I take it there’s been no such chicanery at Bluesky? I hope.

Agreed, but I’d delete the “climate” specifier. They deny the validity of science.

Meghan McCain Melts Down Over Matt Gaetz’s AG Nomination The Republican TV personality’s apparent dismay with how Gaetz’s nomination is unfolding comes a day after her husband called him “a sex trafficking drug addicted piece of s**t.”

Defending Meghan McCain makes my teeth clench, but calling her perfectly reasonable post a “meltdown” is absurd.

The only reason I stayed on Twitter as long as I did was that it was fun to have access to news almost as it happened.

I’m hoping to make Bluesky more like that, as I learn how to curate my feed.

I think that most of them can’t stomach Gaetz, period.

Except that there’s no such thing as true altruism, nor should we want there to be. Isn’t it better all around that we teach our kids that there’s joy to be had from being good people?
