but I'm not sure this works any more: we watched the Congress approve a whole Cabinet full of folk who are profoundly unqualified to do their jobs, and then trump gave some of them TWO jobs instead of just the one; so the whole admin & GOP is like a big cosplay... I HOPE it's still 'unforgivable'

who gave him permission to do this???

part of the problem with our politics in these crazy times is that somehow so many people have come to think of our elections as WWE/UFC matches between 2 Big Guys... MAGA might love that image, but for the rest of us it's simplistic, unreal, counterproductive, narcissistic, & kinda disgusting....

sacreligious!

like DonJr said in an earlier post, the answer is APPARENT

wow: nations lining up to 'assume the position'...

sick: I hope he scrubbed his face when that mess was over!

also: Cook says the gold bar is from CA, the engraved glass is off the Corning line (that's upstate NY), & the base is from Utah - & then our so-called commander in chief says "the great people of Kentucky" - WTF IS HE TALKING ABOUT???

I love when they'd break up on live TV!
another episode worth finding: Cosby's guest-hosting for Johnny, Richard Pryor's just been on; country singer Bobby Goldsboro comes on & starts chatting about what he likes to do at home in Alabama... the whole show went completely off the rails

those companies & the crypto/tech bros are also jacking up the stock market, making folk think the economy is doing just fine - so when it all crashes on the rest of us, it's gonna crash BIG

was he standing on top of the East Wing, & is he really gonna tear it down? (he forgot his hardhat) - or gut it & line it with gold leaf for his damn ballroom? (& does it mean anything that traditionally the East Wing has been the office of the First Lady - but Melania hasn't been using it much...)

with a gilded ballroom, yes?

so when trump started making noises today about federalizing DC, it's because he's been reading posts from Curtis Yarvin & Elon??? Lord help us... @bencollins.bsky.social

he's using tactics he learned from Roy Cohn & used as a NJ mafia real estate developer; that's all he knows how to do - & while he's making noise, the white supremacists, Proj25ers, crypto/tech bros are getting busy. he's the Trojan horse they all rode in on; his turmoil distracts from their evil

so if we express moral/ethical objection to the Netanyahu govt's ongoing efforts to bomb/starve/annihilate the Palestinian people, then trump's govt absolves itself of any responsibility for us & tells us we can just go ahead and drown??
might be time to amp up BDS - this time, against the US

in what passes these days as a press gaggle near his airplane, he said that he didn't realize Sweeney is a republican, but if she's a republican & votes republican, then it's a REALLY GOOD AD.

given how horrible this all is, why does Kristi look like a character in a cheesy porny B-movie?

didn't he weirdly say at one point in the campaign that he was going to be 'the fertilization president' ??? actually he's the FERTILIZER president, totally full of sh*t

Pierogies with Onion: there's a new merch idea in there somewhere...:))

if the federal government has just fired thousands of civil servants, and locked up and deported thousands of immigrant workers, how can they even be talking about 'job growth'?

please, let's be quaint! if law, and morals, and the Constitution are considered quaint by these crazies, let's please be quaint!

according to what i just googled, it's a few military mercenary groups (a la Blackwater) - and the current CEO has close ties to Palantir which provides intel to Israel...

did somebody say 'job growth'???

(shhhh: don't tell RFKJr...)

make that '...are already attempting to rig the 2026 election'

maybe they'll call it a 'hallucination'... @weisenthal.bsky.social

amen! I think we need to 'detoxify' the polarized, stereotypical, and often false notions of socialism that get thrown around, and do a better job of communicating that decent health care, education, social services, safety, housing, and eliminating poverty benefit ALL of us...

sinful

they're doing it word for word... does anybody actually think that trump wrote all those executive orders by himself???

yes, I was thinking about that: it wouldn't have made a difference to trump! (which makes the whole thing even MORE creepy)- but maybe it might have made a difference to Virginia or her dad...

thanks for that; glad you're on the case!!
