Reminds me of Roman coins with the effigy of Caligula.

It will only be temporary at worst. Everyone will want to go all "damnatio memoriae" on this arrogant miscreant.

Instead, it went on like John Belushi in 1941.

#GVerse Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social just walked onto a plane full of veterans & thanked every single one of them: no stage, no teleprompter, no ego trip.

I find pseudo-history so much more fascinating than actual history.

History is constrained by factual analysis. But pseudo-history is ignorant speculation gone wild.

I used to travel to the US several times a year. At one point, almost once a month. Dropped lots of cash. Not now. Not for the foreseeable future.

Apologize. Fix your government.

/the "good Germans" argument doesn't work.

It would be unfortunate if Bluesky bought into the US administration's 'thought control' strategy...

Looking at this from over the border, posting on social media is nice. But growing a spine is better.

I have no sympathy. None. And the "good Germans" argument doesn't wash. I have always gotten along with Americans, I like them, I have many American friends. But fix your government.

Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

With a blabbermouth and arguably a Russian asset as president, and an administration operating outside the rule of law, targeting potentially innocent people, NO ONE should share any intelligence with these miscreants.

IMO, all five eyes countries should be VERY guarded about sharing ANY intelligence with US officials.

People like her have been so brainwashed, they are so conceited and feel so entitled, that they think they can ignore the law and impose their own twisted views on the way they deal with the public.

Satisfied that she needs to feel the consequences of her views.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

*If all goes by the regular schedule

Sounds great. But let's not forget, it's also taking off here in Canada as well. #canadastrong #cdnpoli

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.
