Sadly, I'm seeing Bluesky becoming more of a photo negative of Twitter with each passing week.
It's not a fucking contest of who can outcrazy the other.
Seriously, stop taking the MAGA playbook and flipping it for your own agenda.
Doesn't do any of us any good in the long run.

I personally don't own a gun.
But I've met more than enough paranoid white men who think they're under constant siege from some perceived threat that they need an entire basement armory to feel 'safe.'

Your concern is not without considerable merit.

And how patently 'Christian' of you to simply write someone off without considering the possibility that they can change if they put in the actual time and effort.
You sure you're not a Trump voter?
There's an entire half of the country that would welcome your mental constipation with open arms.

Add that onto the amount of revenue we'd get by ending oil and big business subsidies, because profits are at an all-time high.
Plus revamping the tax code so the 1% paid something substanative again.
And scale back the military budget by 40%.

We might actually have a functional country again.

But but but, my best friend's sister's brother's boyfriend heard from this guy who met this kid who was with the girl that said Platner once said 'gesundheit'! 😱

You live in a country that thinks Stalinist Socialism and Social Democracy are the same thing, btw.

I can't fix that degree of stupid.

Interesting, but what's more interesting is there's no reference to what Platner actually said on any of those podcasts.
I worked in journalism as a reporter/editor for 15 years.
Not including anything substantive for context and just pointing a finger is sloppy, biased and typical of today's media.

Reagan pretended to be a friend of the 'common man' for both conservatives and liberals, and laid the foundation for 40 years of Americans fucking themselves over.
You don't want to take a chance on someone who could be an exception to the rule about politics? Your call.
Enjoy your ivory tower.

Could it all be performative and bullshit? Sure.
But let's play that out and he gets elected.
In a Senate of 100 reps, do you honestly think Platner could go full neo-nazi and have ANY real impact on policy?
They canned Al Franken for badly chosen photo op.
Platner wouldn't last a full week.

02.03.2026 07:27 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Not calling me one either.
Difference is, if you actually watch the video, Platner talks about problems and potential solutions that no neo-nazi mercenary would consider.
They don't give a shit about healthcare, affordability and addressing working-class issues.
That's why neo-nazis are MAGA.

Have fun voting for Jill Stein, Stephen A. Smith and whatever 3rd Party whackjob chooses to run.
The GOP is full of brazen pedophiles, Christian Nationalist fascists & Neo-Nazis.
You want to keep driving people on the fringes of that away from the only other real political option...? Your funeral.

No. We really don't.
We don't like pedophiles, oligarchs, misogynists, corruption, authoritarianism and fascism either.
Bluesky seems to be turning into a photo negative of Twitter with each passing news cycle.

In 1945, we admitted thousands of ex-Nazis into this country because they had skills and trades we needed in the following four decades of the Cold War vs the USSR.
Both my grandfathers served in WWII.
Their generation understood that sometimes, the last enemy can help take down the next one.

You're kidding?!
I only learned that in the 80s when everyone else in this country was anointing Reagan as the greatest president ever.
I wasn't even 10 yet.
Concerns are one thing.
At this point, I'm pretty sure FDR, JFK and Abe Lincoln wouldn't pass the far left's purity tests.

You lost me at 'quite possibly'.
What direct evidence do you have, other than a tattoo and social media posts he's already copped to making when he was younger and less aware than he is now, that he's a neo-Nazi?
BTW, for you and the class, this is virtue signalling. It'll be on the test in November

Nothing I loath more than the virtue signal brigade coming out of the woodwork to continue showing why the rest of the country shouldn't vote Democrat this year.
If you think Platner is so terrible, get off your keyboards and run for office yourselves.
Stand in front of the same arrows you sling.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: Iran's defiant leader's grip on power ends Iranian state TV confirms the supreme leader has been killed on the first day of massive US and Israeli air strikes on the country.

I dearly miss the days when I saw the words 'state media' and it didn't automatically imply American news outlets.
I'm sure Sinclair, OAN, NewsMAX, the Ellisons, Rupert, Bezos and Bari Weiss are all loving life right now.
They've got propaganda for days with this shit.

If this suddenly shows up on the Stanley Cup, I guess your fears will be valid.
Considering the source, I think you're good. 😁

Honestly, I'm glad the Olympics are over.
Didn't watch a single minute of it this year.
Having worked in sports/news media, it's impossible to overlook the decades of IOC corruption and how MAGA hijacks everything USA to make it about them and their bullshit Christian fascism.

Saw a posting for a small house that wasn't insanely overpriced today and my predominant thought is all the times I've been told "Never buy. RENT."
The whole 'American dream' meant having our own homes.
Three generations have been told giving rich landlords that money every month is somehow smarter.

I remember watching the bobsled as a kid and the prominent question in my mind was, "If the guy in the back farts on the way down the mountain...would it make them go faster?"

After a lifetime of being fucked over by those I'm expected to want to fuck, I realized about 15 years ago I no longer gave a fuck about fucking anymore.
My life has been exponentially improved by having zero fucks left to give.
So fuck off.

In their defense, the Wild still have one of the best alternate jerseys I can recall seeing in any sport. Why they didn't make it their standard kit, I have no idea.

Yoon Suk Yeol: South Korea’s ex-president jailed for life for masterminding an insurrection Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached and indicted for declaring martial law in 2024.

Remember kids, the reason we can't do this in the so-called 'greatest democracy in the world' is holding elected officials accountable for things like insurrection and pedophilia is SO not what the writers of the Constitution actually wanted...says the MAGA pedophiles.
