Peace@dogsmile.bsky.social · yesterdayIt’s pretty evident that America has no laws that pertain to the Dotard in the WH.
"I love the sound of jackhammers all day," said no writer working from home ever. 😵💫
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a book out 8 years ago is in want of a publicist. Apparently.--a "publicist" in a cold call to me this morning. (I said no.)
Community note: The Bataan death march was also sub-optimal.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump: "Japan has been very good to us with the exception of Pearl Harbor"
In fairness, in any decent world, he does belong in prison.
Jessy Edwards@jessyedwards.bsky.social · 2d agoA video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.
I'm not going to repost the video of Ohio rep. Max Miller explaining how he's not an abuser by using an example of how victims placate their abusers to stay safe, but rest assured I think he's a fucking piece of shit abuser who should probably be in jail and not in the House of Representatives
There once was a Senator Mitch-- A klan wizard turned to a lich. The GOP's stallin' 'Bout confessing he's fallen Into a state where he don't twitch.
Did Trump post this because, like Elvis, he got into a hands-on relationship with someone who was only 14?
If you’re bored of playing “Where’s Mitch?”, try playing “Where’s the Reflecting Pool dismissal story?” Search Fox and Rupert Murdoch’s entire media empire. Aside from The Wall Street Journal, it’s as if the story never existed. Good luck on your quest.
Notably, Republican candidate Victor Marx claims to have murdered a man when he was a child and declines to say whether he has killed anyone as an adult, saying "Does it matter?" 🤷♂️ (Narrator: Not, apparently, to Republicans, who voted for him in the primary in large numbers.)
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · 5d agoColorado GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx says he's found a way around campaign finance limits he's already violated. Campaign finance attorneys say Marx's idea to sell limitless amounts of high-dollar merch is laughably illegal. youtu.be/HdlCKrQqGcM
This is a serious issue, even though Trump is attempting to turn it into a political game by blaming Minnesota. Cyberattacks targeting municipal water and wastewater systems have now been reported in at least seven states this week.
Sorry. The face of every Russian brand still supporting Putin's regime is that of a murdered Ukrainian child. Don't pretend otherwise.

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%. In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets. This is only the beginning.
If armed federal agents are at a polling place, that's a felony under 18 U.S.C. sec. 592. Record them and get their names and call signs (the ICE equivalent of badge numbers) for later felony prosecutions (next administration) and 5-year prisonsentences.
Liberty and Justice for All@libertyjustice.bsky.social · last wk.Question: if you encountered ICE at a polling place, what would you do? 1) Stay and vote 2) Find another polling place 3) Go home #Voting, #ICE, #PollingPlaces, #Elections
Went out on errands this morning with my hair (what's left of it) looking like this. Note to self: Wear a hat or at least check the mirror before leaving in the morning. Don't frighten people unnecessarily.
Wow. GOP really does stand for "Government of Pedophiles" (enablers).

Weird. Blowing up innocent fishermen in war crimes/murder did nothing to curb cocaine supply. (*Talks about demand pull in Don Jr. voice*)

That one time, two years ago, when I actually conducted a poll on social media. (I left Twitter after that because of the new head Twit.)
There once was an RFK rerun Who thought epidemics could be fun. So with Trump's assistance He tanked our resistance Leading to this new disease sum. 😢
I remember when we had a President who was surrounded by competent people, including speech writers, and who could tell a joke...instead of who was one.
SOMEONE TELL HIM THERE IS LETTUCE IN McDONALD's SANDWICHES STAT
