I have ADHD, but I wasn't diagnosed until I was 64 years old. It's not an exclusive club.

You did know that Biden was the pope's boy in the Senate and floated several bills to eliminate Roe vs. Wade and he tried to resegregate public schools? And that Harris eliminated diversion programs for trafficking victims and put trans women into men's prisons?

I can take President Lauren Bobert as our first woman president if you can. I can understand the Democrats losing to Trump once. Shit happens. But twice, with an entire administration in between? With an unprecedented 8.6 increase in electoral votes? That's a huge shift. That's a Blue problem.

Your rant is exactly the same as the one I got on X when I told people my mother was a refugee. You don't care about anything except hating the Red Tribe. 86 electoral votes told you just what the rest of the country thinks of the Dems. Maybe you should listen to them and get your shit together.

I see no difference between Bluesky and Twitter. The same serotonin junkies that made X a neoconservative hellscape is already turning this site a neoliberal hellscape. Peace out. The Dude is abiding elsewhere.

The Russians used those test kits as templates to make their own. My neighborhood had all the test kits we needed until Biden took them away and my neighbors started dying again. Biden isn't a hero and you're not a patriot. You're the same kind of hateful angry person you find on X. Blue MAGA

You can get one of your own on Amazon for thirty bucks. Peace Out. And yes, I did find what I was looking for. It's as disappointing as hell, but I found it.

What happens in Russia stays in Russia. I could care less.

I was researching and got the same numbers I got from X. I don't want to be in this Neoliberal Hellscape. I'm already exploring other promotional platforms. Sorry if I've triggered any traumas. Bluesky is not my circus, and you are not my monkeys. The Dude shall abide elsewhere.

I remember that place. I visited it when I was in the merchant marines.

MAGA isn't what you believe or vote for, it's how you react to people who aren't 100% aligned with your views. It's also a reaction to lack of serotonin. Just like Red MAGA, you're looking for a serotonin/adrenaline fix

Democrats are never responsible for anything!!! It's always somebody else's fault. The Democrats didn't lose because they ran somebody who protected killer cops and ended diversion programs for juvenile trafficking victims. They lost because nobody understand their brilliance.

I understand them, alright. I'm sitting here with the Bernays Emotional Response Table and putting your every syllable into a bell curve. This is fascinating. I'm getting the same numbers as when I supported refugees on X.

Please don't be an ass. The Panthers are a Black-led movement, and I'm a white Jew. Besides, I think I was about ten years old and living in Sussex County, NJ, when the Panthers formed. I'm where social services put me, and the Panthers welcomed me and called me neighbor.

I mentioned that Biden cut my food stamps, and you fell to your back, kicked your heels against the floor, pounded your fists, and screamed, "Trump! Trump! Trump!" You acted exactly how somebody on X would behave if I made a comment remotely critical of the orange hobgoblin. Blue MAGA.

In other words, you bow to the Democrat's bigotry of lower expectations and the corporate control of our Democracy.

I'm not supporting a white supremacist. Trump is a walking Rorschach test. His supporters and his detractors all project what they subconsciously see in him? Me? all I see is a demented old orange hobgoblin and I refuse to let him live rent free in my head.

And you are totally Blue MAGA, and I don't think you're all that bright either. But I love you anyway.

A bronze bust of Dr. Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, is located in the Mandella Greenway near the corner of Dr. Huey P. Newton BLVD in West Oakland, CA.

Actually, I'm a fan of Dr. Huey P. Newton and Eldridge Cleaver. In fact, The Black Panther Charter was signed in my living room some 50 years ago. My politics reflect those of my neighbors, both the OG and New Gen Panthers.

Yes.. The Democrats blame the Republicans, and the Republicans blame the Democrats, and they vote as a block and pretend they don't. There is only one way to see what's what. Everything I say can be backed through the Congressional record. Happy research.

The answer here is simple. Stop defending the billionaires. You'll be amazed at how quickly prices will go down if you lower Bezos' cut.

And I answered all of themβ€”every single one. I'm not sorry if it wasn't the answer you were looking for. And I will decide who is and who is not my enemy.

Ah, military. I thought I smelled that. I sympathize. My father was career law enforcement. It took years of therapy before I recovered from that. The first thing I had to learn was that criticism of my politics is not an attack on me. You have no right to accuse me of supporting Trump.

Oh, I know. But it's going to hurt you a lot worse than it's going to hurt me. I have no financial interests in offshore manufacturing. And the American middle class doesn't fix anything until it's irreparably broken. So, the faster it crashes, the sooner things will get better.

You haven't asked any questions; you deflected my statements. In other words, you are not discussing, you're trying to force me into an emotional response so you can beat me down.

Congress needs to do the job it was elected to do: get the jobs back on US soil, get people out of the tents in the street, and get them into gainful employment.

Excuse me, didn't the Democrats lose to Trump twice? Once was bad enough, but shit happens. Twice is simply disgraceful. And it wasn't even two consecutive losses. You had four years to shine, and you screwed it up. Maybe you should start listening to the voters, so you have a chance in 2028.

I don't care where the jobs are, whether they are in Canada or Timbuktu. The Founders of this nation wrote tariffs into the Constitution to protect our economy, and we need the tariffs back. Of course, we can expect Trump to screw it up, but a bad start is better than no start at all.
