I've given up on Blue Sky. There is only so much hysteria one can take in a single day. For now, I am confining my attention to Substack. It's more measured in tone, more nuanced, and I am not bombarded by a sea of (understandable) hysteria here. "Microblogging," as it was called when Twitter got off the ground, was never a good idea to begin with, and even less so now.
Malcolm, I advise everyone to try what I do. I don't use a cell phone. I don't subscribe to any sites like face book and the like. I don't watch mainstream media. I DO read many substack posts and subscribe to just a few. It's pretty peaceful, and sometimes there are laughs. It's not for everyone-most people I know can't put down their cell phones. But it works for me.
And in reference to Jeffs' post, I wish the orange traitor would skip the nonsense and get straight to the bunker.
Thank you for your Buddhist view. After an initial giddiness that BlueSky was NOT Xitter (you can guess how it's pronounced), there seems so little engagement, really. Except for all the lonely men from Russia or wherever who want to "chat" aka prey on us older women.
I like your slug line: 13 years of Catholic indoctrination but you got away. Me too, it was 9 years for me, Kindergarten up through the 8th grade. You had four more years in a Catholic HS?
Bash: “you are the government.” Noem: “yes, that’s what I’m saying.”
You just cant make this stuff up. 🤣
It was glorious when the old fuck got booed at the Super Bowl. And ETTD continues to prove correct. He predicted KC will win. And they lost. And the Eagles will say, Nah, bro…we aint comin to the Shit House for Wendys. 😂😂😂😂 #GoBirds 🦅🦅🦅
When did he get booed? We listened to the first part of the game on the radio, and part of the endless pre-game, and didn't hear that. They never showed a picture of his box, or really, of any of the audience. I'm surprised he went, given there were not one, but two DEI quarterbacks. And the worst half-time show ever! Was that the Grammy's best song??? DEI again. And I really resented Kendrick Lamar's reference to Gil Scott Heron. I stood up and started screaming and giving the finger to the screen. The other three I watched the game with, musicians, hated the half-time show. There's a reason I never have watched the Grammys.
There was a picture of him that someone posted on Bluesky and he was with sweet Lindsey. Such pals. I also understand he berated the mid game show even though he left. Go figure.
Apparently he was also on the field before the game, because of course he was. He must be the center of attention at all times, in all places. But thankfully I missed it, because I didn't turn on the TV until the scheduled game time.
Yeah, cadet bone spurs saluting during the anthem was the most fraudulent thing I’ve ever seen. Standing there like a big hero snapping out the salute from a military he never served
Only once, a shot of felon 47 and bleach blond bimbo Barbie who was with him, figures faux would sanewash there own broadcast 🤔. Can't have Der leader looking bad.
Very early in, before the game started Dump was on the field and I heard some booing. The half time show was geared for a very targeted demographic… I’m not in that age group. My 34 year old friend loved it. The show certainly made a statement, though.
This is the most boomer thing I have ever read. Ellen, the world has changed and moved on. I'm not a rap fan or a fan of Lamar, but I understand that he represents popular music today, just like Prince represented popular music at the 2007 half time show. I'm sorry you didn't like the show, but you were not the target audience. I know that's hard for an it's all about me boomer to accept! What was your favorite half time show? George Burns in 1987?
I always liked the marching bands when they had baton twirlers, drum majors, Pom Pom shakers, complicated formations, acrobatics, and played “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” with full on brass.
I've always despised a singer surrounded by hordes of dancers, so Broadway. I wouldn't call this moving on, I'd call it moving back. Judging by the commercials, boomers were the target audience. Terrible, Sixties/Seventies derivative music. I've never liked the half time shows, not even the Rolling Stones. The Grammys have been phony since I was a teenager, since Satisfaction didn't win Song of the Year. The world has changed and moved on, not in a good way. Perhaps you're younger than I am, and will get to live in it longer. Climate crisis... I watched this with three musicians, two younger than me, and they hated it too.
Didn’t watch 1 second, however did see a throng of people unhappy to see his sorry mug of bondo and the smell of his malodorous codpiece anywhere near the site he’s ridiculed for years Susan!!
Ellen, halftime show was part of a link I clicked on. I don't know or care if the headliner was a "musician" or pro athlete before last night. I listened to bits of his rapping. I could not figure out even one phrase if what he was "singing".
there's a video going around that has a guy sitting right over the entrance that emperor bloatus came out of, and he can be heard screaming, "TRAITOR, TRAITOR, YOU'RE A FUCKING TRAITOR!"....it's glorious cause there's no way the vile slob didn't hear that!!!
There's a video I've seen on FB several times today, taken by someone in the stands, where everyone was booing trump when he walked onto the side of the end zone before the game. People were yelling "You're a traitor!" in between the boos and it was pretty good.
Yeah, Taylor got booed, too, but it was mostly Philly fans who will boo anything (plus the fact that she's still Kelce's girlfriend), lol! (As was pointed out in the UK broadcast I watched last night, they pointed out that Philadelphians have booed Santa Claus and thrown batteries at the Easter Bunny.)
Swift was booed because she was raised in Reading PA and was an Eagles fan before she started dating Kelce. That's unforgivable! I'm a South Philly native.
That's why she was booed. It is unforgivable to stop being an Eagles fan because your boyfriend plays for KC. I'm a South Philly native. I'm sure she expected it.
Cat, I am SO SICK of TS 🤢. Was a fan, she is so I exposed that I almost hate her. Now she's implicated in the Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds Trainwreck. So I am glad she was booed!! The o the F away!
Swift was born and raised in Reading PA and was an Eagles fan. She changed to KC when she started dating Kelce. This is an unforgivable transgression. I'm sure she expected to be booed. I'm a South Philly native.
It was a shit game. The Chiefs were out of it. And I must be getting old, I don't understand at all what the fuss is about Kendrik Lamar. I didn't understand one thing in his performance. It made no sense to me.
I think the Eagles coach is a dedicated trumptard so I think they’ll be there to help the orange shit stain get peoples minds off Muck ransacking through all govt. records.
No one is going to take seriously anyone who is shellacked out to look like a blow-up sex doll. Kristi/Barbie, just teeter your little high-heeled self off the public stage, will ya, darlin’?
Stifler's mom brings it on herself. She has more filing in her cheeks than a puffer fish. She had her team play Trace Adkins song 'Hot Mama', when she entered her new office. Maybe she can do a PSA on STD's. She's a fucking idiot.
I do love Nosferatu McGoebbels. 😅😅😅 The likeness is uncanny. That's perfect. Thanks, Jeff.
Wait….are you implying that Kristi/Barbie is a role model for young women? Which part? The porn star demeanor? Or perhaps the puppy killing? Maybe it’s the soulless black hole lack of humanity you wish young women to emulate. And no, no airbrush. But that was from the Obama years, when the air was clear and smelled sweet. Everyone looked healthier then.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols on Friday, February 7, 2025, ordered Secretary of State Marco Rubio to:
reinstate 500 USAID workers
stop putting 2,200 USAID workers on administrative leave, and
stop recalling 1,400 USAID workers from overseas posts.
Nichols also pointed out that Trump’s own legal representatives could not and would not offer (risking perjury in court) a single piece of evidence to back up Trump’s USAID “corruption and fraud” claims.
Suffering extreme but typical “la bouche diarrhée”, Trump has gurgling blowouts when “fermer la bouche” is indicated. Trump made up these accusations.
It is my nouvelle French. I make it up. Lol. Sorry. I was spinning off of La Bouche Creole, my favorite cookbook. Thank you for editing my faux pas. I need your help for sure.
Of course it will become the DC version of Parisian Moulin Rouge, or Crazy Horse, because that’s what theater is about in this drug addled man’s mind Kay-EI!!
kennedy center is a well-run operation with all the regular contingencies any other event hall would experience. that said ... until donnie boy came knockin at their door
I’m still waiting to find out who will initiate military orders for the Seditionists arrests. Is there really no one in the US (eg military) willing to uphold their pledges to protect the Constitution & the US from foreign AND DOMESTIC terrorists, tyranny, sedition?????
It's definitely a wait for it, very dangerous situation especially with gin-soaked misogynistic Pete running the Pentagon. There has to be top brass within the ranks that won't tolerate or accept dear leader's incompetent bullshit or Pennzoil Pete's obvious lack of morals, experience and knowledge to run our military. With the replacement of MSM with MAGA media at military sites, it's pretty damn frustrating that the likelihood of seditionists being brought to justice with Pete in there is highly unlikely. However, with all of these judges throwing legal wrenches into the MAGA machinery, there may actually be some hope on the horizon.
Former Generals (republicans) spoke against trump and one called him a Fascist. They must have other higher up friends who are worried about what this means. This needs to be handled with weapons drawn…whatever means is necessary.
I’m not particularly hopeful that any of our military, who’ve been sworn to protect and uphold the Constitution, will do anything before the justice system, or courts provide them with justification Rick!
Trump has been a serious security threat to the country since he came down that gilded escalator The FBI spent years investigating him, knowing many of the details of his criminal activities, yet here we are!!
Being born into the mob, as Trump certainly was…his father Fred had been laundering money for the Genovese family. It was only logical when Russian mob boss Semion Mogilevich decided to join Robert Maxwells money laundering for Mossad’s plan, entering East Coast mob family territory shortly thereafter. Was Donnie protected as any good CI was from being charged with multiple criminal investigations over decades Dave?
SeekingReason, I'm afraid we're soon to find out which of our military members are willing to uphold their oaths. We are retired military and of our retired and active duty friends it's split 50/50. If a majority of active duty military turn their backs on the Constitution things will get much worse very, very quickly.
The fascism flowing through the administration is uncanny , predicting us at WtD to do a comparison work Jeff , paralleling Nazi germany with what we are experiencing now , so this is our contribution this week Jeff , thank you for everything you are doing
Now I see that Trump has a 53% approval rating! If that doesn’t tell you that we have a sick country nothing does. A people gets the government they deserve. America doesn’t deserve to survive. RIP
Media and corporate think tank polls are being used to "manufacture consent," a Noem Chomsky phrase. They are not designed to actually inform but to lead public opinion. Americans have been trained to adopt a "my team is winning, look, look!" attitude toward polling that makes them ripe for endless exploitation.
Yeah, he's suing CBS for 20 billion dollars. I'm not surprised they're trying to get on his good side. I don't believe that poll for a minute. His approval rating has never been above 49%. I'd rely on more objective polls.
My MAGA high school classmates approve because it LOOKS like he’s doing things. In reality, most of his actions have been blocked by the courts. Democrats in Congress have finally woken up & have devised strategies to slow down tRump’s unqualified Cabinet nominees. I no longer argue with the MAGAs because they are full of misinformation, thanks to Faux Noise. I’m urging my reps to start a class action suit concerning the stealing of private data
I am so glad you wrote about performative DHS secretary Noem. Her CNN appearance was amazing. Unfortunately, because her face seemed frozen, we couldn’t really gauge her reaction when she was told she was the government by Dana Bash. It would have been nice to know if she was shocked or surprised. Maybe next time.
I don’t think Donnie and his MAGA mafia will obey the courts. They believe they are above the law. Latino Americans will continue to be rounded up. African Americans will continue to be rounded up. Musk and his hackers will continue to breach our most sensitive information. GOP lawmakers will continue doing nothing to protect our democracy OR Americans. Donnie will continue doing stupid stuff while his evil handlers destroy America.
George Conway did an entire podcast on that topic in George Explains It All to Sarah Longwell. It was the most discouraged/negative I have ever heard him. He believes Musk/ tRump will just ignore the courts
Unless we get on the horn to all our representatives, congress, senate, attorney generals, school boards et al, demanding they are working for the people, by the people…us!! Putting the countries duly elected on notice, that this is a republic, not a monarchy, or dictatorship…Lisa!!
just to reiterate: yes, it's perfectly fine for folks to link to their own posts down here in the comments — please, absolutely, go for it!
BUT HERE'S THE SOCIAL CONTRACT: wait at least five minutes before doing so, so it looks like you read my own post first
Lol. I won’t link to my stuff. People can find it if they want to.
Jeff, words are a lot like knives. Some folks use them to write Everyone Is Entitled to My Opinion. Some folks stick them up their own noses.
I've given up on Blue Sky. There is only so much hysteria one can take in a single day. For now, I am confining my attention to Substack. It's more measured in tone, more nuanced, and I am not bombarded by a sea of (understandable) hysteria here.

And in reference to Jeffs' post, I wish the orange traitor would skip the nonsense and get straight to the bunker.
Your last statement, it is so excellent I love it!
This is superb advice.
I don't use the cell for any 'social media' apps at all.
There's something insidious about all the sites so damned hot about "see it on the app.." "download the app" "Available only on the app..."Why?
I guess it's so they can shovel straight to you in a way the web interface can't, and just maybe see what else you're doing.
I mean this in the nicest way possible: no. 💨
Pick and choose there is a lot to work with be pickey
Thank you for your Buddhist view. After an initial giddiness that BlueSky was NOT Xitter (you can guess how it's pronounced), there seems so little engagement, really. Except for all the lonely men from Russia or wherever who want to "chat" aka prey on us older women.
I'm 75, I forgot how to prey on older women.
I like your slug line: 13 years of Catholic indoctrination but you got away. Me too, it was 9 years for me, Kindergarten up through the 8th grade. You had four more years in a Catholic HS?
Four years high school with Carmelite priests, eight years elementary school with Franciscan nuns, one year kindergarten with Miss Mary Lou.
Ever get shoved into a closet, or had your fingers slapped with a ruler? Good old days...
"...so it looks like you read my own post first..."
😄🏆
😂
Another much needed irony!
Bash: “you are the government.” Noem: “yes, that’s what I’m saying.”
You just cant make this stuff up. 🤣

I didn't watch the game. did he get booed? I heard that Taylor Swift got booed.
He did. HA!
It was obvious more Eagles fan were there than KC fans. (KC was asleep for most of the event. 🤷🏼♀️)
When did he get booed? We listened to the first part of the game on the radio, and part of the endless pre-game, and didn't hear that. They never showed a picture of his box, or really, of any of the audience. I'm surprised he went, given there were not one, but two DEI quarterbacks. And the worst half-time show ever!

The other three I watched the game with, musicians, hated the half-time show. There's a reason I never have watched the Grammys.
The foreign press has the Felon's boos. Fox suppressed it for its audience. I noticed the camera never went to him during the game.
Yes, was it for security, but I wondered if he was there. The awful announcers didn't mention him.
He left before halftime! His team was losing.
Tom Brady is stiffer than wood.
I don't know. I watched for the commercials.
There was a picture of him that someone posted on Bluesky and he was with sweet Lindsey. Such pals. I also understand he berated the mid game show even though he left. Go figure.
I saw a brief shot of him, standing next to Ivanka, during the National Anthem.
That was it, thankfully.
Apparently he was also on the field before the game, because of course he was. He must be the center of attention at all times, in all places. But thankfully I missed it, because I didn't turn on the TV until the scheduled game time.
Yeah, cadet bone spurs saluting during the anthem was the most fraudulent thing I’ve ever seen. Standing there like a big hero snapping out the salute from a military he never served
I saw a quick cutaway to him standing in his box with knockoff handbag Barbie.
Only once, a shot of felon 47 and bleach blond bimbo Barbie who was with him, figures faux would sanewash there own broadcast 🤔. Can't have Der leader looking bad.
Got a link?
Very early in, before the game started Dump was on the field and I heard some booing. The half time show was geared for a very targeted demographic… I’m not in that age group. My 34 year old friend loved it. The show certainly made a statement, though.
Not my favorite music either, but it was the message behind it that I loved.
Was there a message? We couldn't understand the words. That's funny, because the music in the commercials was Sixties/Seventies.
I thought the half time show sucked. It seemed low energy.
It was a brilliant cultural marker. Read about it and listen again. And again.
I'm sure Kendrick will lose sleep because you didn't like it.

You couldn't MAKE me watch that stupid waste of money.
DEI quarterbacks. Priceless, Ellen!
Didn’t watch 1 second, however did see a throng of people unhappy to see his sorry mug of bondo and the smell of his malodorous codpiece anywhere near the site he’s ridiculed for years Susan!!
Susan, sm is OUTRAGED that Tay was booed (oversaturated much?). Seeing turd was booed but Fox deleted that sound and replaced it with cheers?
Fox is so thirsty to be the official state media, like Sputnik and RT in Russia.
Ellen, halftime show was part of a link I clicked on. I don't know or care if the headliner was a "musician" or pro athlete before last night. I listened to bits of his rapping. I could not figure out even one phrase if what he was "singing".
I couldn't believe it looked like Kansas City never played a football game in their lives!

I heard them booing the Felon.
Hey Jeff if you could tell me if you send out free subscriptions for 30 days? Something akin to that.
I have one in my email and I wasn’t sure if it really came from you or if it was a hack?
Just wondering since I don’t want to step on your toes.
Hack. It happens.
I know it happens. It’s why I asked Jeff if it was from him.
I meant assume it's not legit . Others get hacked by someone using his avatar. It's fairly frequent. I was trying to help, he may not answer you.
I read they both did but I didn’t watch either so 🤷🏼♀️
There's a video I've seen on FB several times today, taken by someone in the stands, where everyone was booing trump when he walked onto the side of the end zone before the game. People were yelling "You're a traitor!" in between the boos and it was pretty good.
Yeah, Taylor got booed, too, but it was mostly Philly fans who will boo anything (plus the fact that she's still Kelce's girlfriend), lol! (As was pointed out in the UK broadcast I watched last night, they pointed out that Philadelphians have booed Santa Claus and thrown batteries at the Easter Bunny.)
It took me a second to get the Easter Bunny thing. 😆
Swift was booed because she was raised in Reading PA and was an Eagles fan before she started dating Kelce. That's unforgivable! I'm a South Philly native.
Watched. Glorious. Didn’t see her get booed and didn’t want to - you know she’s an Eagles fan, no?
Who ?
Taylor Swift. Eagles fan since childhood. (Also not a bad role model for girls my granddaughters age. )
That's why she was booed. It is unforgivable to stop being an Eagles fan because your boyfriend plays for KC. I'm a South Philly native. I'm sure she expected it.
Cat, I am SO SICK of TS 🤢. Was a fan, she is so I exposed that I almost hate her. Now she's implicated in the Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds Trainwreck. So I am glad she was booed!! The o the F away!
Got it, I'm slow this morning. 😴
Some of us are sorta slow every morning, until that first demitasse of espresso Kristy… some days it takes a whole cup!!
So even though her boyfriend lost, she won.
Neither did I, because the Super Troll was at the Super Bowl. And I don't watch him anymore.
Swift was born and raised in Reading PA and was an Eagles fan. She changed to KC when she started dating Kelce. This is an unforgivable transgression. I'm sure she expected to be booed. I'm a South Philly native.
me too
News reports said they cheered wildly for Trump and booed Swift. It was held in New Orleans, so no surprise.
Lying for the orange excretion won't save the suck up press.
I know a ton of Katz in the Big Easy that hate the execrable wastrel, dubious any of them would have wasted the $ to watch Donald!!
It seemed to be eagle fans booing Taylor and yes everyone with a functioning brain booed dt.
It was a travesty. Must be a trend.
It was a shit game. The Chiefs were out of it. And I must be getting old, I don't understand at all what the fuss is about Kendrik Lamar. I didn't understand one thing in his performance. It made no sense to me.
You should look into it. I needed someone to interpret- it was worth it.

That's because we were following Michelle's advice to eat our vegetables and love our neighbors.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols on Friday, February 7, 2025, ordered Secretary of State Marco Rubio to:
reinstate 500 USAID workers
stop putting 2,200 USAID workers on administrative leave, and
stop recalling 1,400 USAID workers from overseas posts.
Nichols also pointed out that Trump’s own legal representatives could not and would not offer (risking perjury in court) a single piece of evidence to back up Trump’s USAID “corruption and fraud” claims.
Suffering extreme but typical “la bouche diarrhée”, Trump has gurgling blowouts when “fermer la bouche” is indicated. Trump made up these accusations.
We will recovery following a known course of action. We will grow in numbers by gathering the reformers in their party. We will grow numbers, diversity, and socioeconomic stratas. https://open.substack.com/pub/hotbuttons/p/krewe-kleptos-parade-route-psycho?r=3m1bs&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
Sorry Carl, but ‘la Bouche diarrhée’ doesn’t exist in French. If you are referring to verbal diarrhea, the French equivalent is ‘diarrhée verbale’.
It is my nouvelle French. I make it up. Lol. Sorry. I was spinning off of La Bouche Creole, my favorite cookbook. Thank you for editing my faux pas. I need your help for sure.
Best to stick to English as your latest attempt makes no sense either. Sorry.
Can I slide under the wire and maybe qualify as a Francophile failure?
Yes you can Carl.
Carl- here is one who got the gist of your post & doesn’t care if it is proper French or Canadian..Proceed….
"il ay necessaray que je remaine ici" -- "Ah! Canadian, I see" (Firesign Theatre, The Giant Rat of Sumatra)
Thank you! I thought Carl's phrase looked legit, but I don't speak French. Glad to know how to sound more good.
For anyone wanting to say something in Hungarian:
Donald Trump egy seggfej.

That's SHEG-fay. Oops.
Thanks!
Right on Cam!!
Still funny though 😂
Noem's job should have gone to Cricket. The dog was smarter.
1. Noem was actually correct for once, but I’m sure she didn’t mean to say the quiet part out loud.
2. Orange Fuckwit will turn the Kennedy Center into a Pussycat Theater.
Yep so he can grab them by pu$$y💙
After that, we knew that the man could survive anything.
Of course it will become the DC version of Parisian Moulin Rouge, or Crazy Horse, because that’s what theater is about in this drug addled man’s mind Kay-EI!!

I'll never forgive the NYT who knew he was under investigation, ignored it, and focused on "but her emails..."
And the Justice Dept has investigated him
and the IRS has looked into him

he’s a PosterBoy for looking into AND DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT!

It was only logical when Russian mob boss Semion Mogilevich decided to join Robert Maxwells money laundering for Mossad’s plan, entering East Coast mob family territory shortly thereafter. Was Donnie protected as any good CI was from being charged with multiple criminal investigations over decades Dave?

SeekingReason, I'm afraid we're soon to find out which of our military members are willing to uphold their oaths. We are retired military and of our retired and active duty friends it's split 50/50. If a majority of active duty military turn their backs on the Constitution things will get much worse very, very quickly.
Exceptionally frightening.
YES yes. ! Why is not a thing. It will take an Army to stop the magats.
💯🎯💙✌🏻
There must be. I can only hope and pray 🙏🏿
Trump has now taken Social Security away from illegal immigrants. That don't even have a Social Security card or number. Take that, immigrants!
He doesn't care about his so-called wife, he doesn't care about his so-called kids. When will everyone else figure out how much he cares about them?
Fascism is wrestling Stupidity to the ground in our government right now. It is the Republican Way.
Try to go about your lives with humor. Donald Trump has none.
The dropouts taking over their High School…

Jeff, every day you provide a lesson in genuine patriotism. Thank you for doing that.
🏆
The fascism flowing through the administration is uncanny , predicting us at WtD to do a comparison work Jeff , paralleling Nazi germany with what we are experiencing now , so this is our contribution this week Jeff , thank you for everything you are doing

It’s not new. Maddow’s Ultra & Ultra 2 reveal Americans flirtation with fascism in the 1930’s & r40’s
True dat Lynn, several books and articles have been written and published about Trump’s fascination with fascism!!
Now I see that Trump has a 53% approval rating! If that doesn’t tell you that we have a sick country nothing does. A people gets the government they deserve. America doesn’t deserve to survive. RIP
Media and corporate think tank polls are being used to "manufacture consent," a Noem Chomsky phrase. They are not designed to actually inform but to lead public opinion. Americans have been trained to adopt a "my team is winning, look, look!" attitude toward polling that makes them ripe for endless exploitation.
Loved Noam Chomsky Sharon, Kristy Noem is a fucking imbecile!!
I miss Noam.
Absolutely right Sharon!
Just like they manufacturer polarization for profits.
Whose poll?
Trumps?
In the real world, a poll favoring Dump by 53% could have a margin of error of 10% or more.
Indeed Rick!!
I read the same thing this morning. A CBS poll.
Yeah, he's suing CBS for 20 billion dollars. I'm not surprised they're trying to get on his good side. I don't believe that poll for a minute. His approval rating has never been above 49%. I'd rely on more objective polls.
I certainly wasn’t agreeing with the poll. Yes, it’s likely an alternate figure.
My MAGA high school classmates approve because it LOOKS like he’s doing things. In reality, most of his actions have been blocked by the courts. Democrats in Congress have finally woken up & have devised strategies to slow down tRump’s unqualified Cabinet nominees. I no longer argue with the MAGAs because they are full of misinformation, thanks to Faux Noise. I’m urging my reps to start a class action suit concerning the stealing of private data
Who are they polling and how ? I haven't been called for a poll since before Obama.
God, a plane load of pedefiles ! We're they still wearing their vestments?
Oooh, GOOD ONE , Dennis !
Well played Dennis!!
I hope Europe comes and saves us! Please return the favor from 1945. We need help.
Now THAT’S A PLAN
They may marshal a plan!
I've been speculating for a while now that Germany and Japan will come to our rescue.
I doubt it. US citizens have more guns than most military. They'll send a note...sorry, but no thanks.
I am so glad you wrote about performative DHS secretary Noem. Her CNN appearance was amazing. Unfortunately, because her face seemed frozen, we couldn’t really gauge her reaction when she was told she was the government by Dana Bash. It would have been nice to know if she was shocked or surprised. Maybe next time.
Noem is beginning to rival Nancy Mace for performative bullshit.
All that botox. 😂😂
😂😂😂
I don’t think Donnie and his MAGA mafia will obey the courts. They believe they are above the law. Latino Americans will continue to be rounded up. African Americans will continue to be rounded up. Musk and his hackers will continue to breach our most sensitive information. GOP lawmakers will continue doing nothing to protect our democracy OR Americans. Donnie will continue doing stupid stuff while his evil handlers destroy America.
George Conway did an entire podcast on that topic in George Explains It All to Sarah Longwell. It was the most discouraged/negative I have ever heard him. He believes Musk/ tRump will just ignore the courts
Unless we get on the horn to all our representatives, congress, senate, attorney generals, school boards et al, demanding they are working for the people, by the people…us!! Putting the countries duly elected on notice, that this is a republic, not a monarchy, or dictatorship…Lisa!!
