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.'

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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."

Yoon Suk Yeol: South Koreaβs 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.
