Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

Nationalizing every election is bad enough. Now we are internationalizing them?

What the actual fuck with this lady.

Trump, the unbelievably thirsty loser. Just pathetic for a grown man.

Always helps to read the article.

It’s all sort of irrelevant, because as you keep saying, he can’t do this shit legally! Getting elected isn’t an I can do anything button!

I’m not suggesting an answer. I’m just providing an explanation.

The FBI director is flying his girlfriend around on private government planes while FBI agents go without paychecks and families prepare to go hungry as SNAP benefits are being suspended

Misinformation and bigotry, yes, but also a strange lack of human understanding. I suspect many of these men would have been fairly normal in a different era. They’ve isolated themselves and cooked their brains in right-wing media. Simply learning how to be around others would help a lot.

Strategically so dumb. You're a weak authoritarian trying to start a war w/an an opportunity to pour blood on the opposing party's hands by including them. Now Dems can not only say "I was opposed to this from the beginning," but "they were so afraid of me they refused to share information."

Even if he understood them, should any adult base big decisions on movies they watched or songs they listened to? (I leave books out because they are important)

Only Dems have agency, see?

This is the way!

Southern MO is southern. Northern MO is Iowa.

The complete lack of awareness that this can be turned on their very special boy is fascinating.
