They are bounty hunters, period. We need to start calling them that.

These people think AI drivel is natural beauty. They'd rather take a virtual tour of the Grand Canyon than actually go there. After all, it's dirty and dusty. We're doomed.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
We had a cat that did that.

"We" is a majority of one.

First question: What is his plan to fix the wreck the Republicans have made of our federal governmental programs?
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
The criticism is just to assuage their voters. They are in agreement with Trump's policies.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
We have stop the concept of "congressional cowardice". They are all in on these policies. They have been groomed to believe government is too big and too liberal and is anti white people. Until you start calling them on it, they will continue to allow this path.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
They want an oligarchy, period.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Democrats are their own worst enemy, or as Pogo Possum once said: "We has met the enemy, and they is us."

Who pressured them? Which endowment? Someone needs to follow the money.

Gotta wonder what the Russians have on him, or maybe the oligarchs.

What a mope. And if the Epstein materials expose Frump, she'll be shocked.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
They're bounty hunters it's about money, period.

Time to stack the court and then set 7 year term limits for the Scotus.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
When are all of you going to face that none of this is Trump's work. This is the work of the oligarchs who are using the Russian model (and perhaps even their help) who are out to destroy our democracy.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Catherine, we need to stop buying this that they are afraid of Frump. This is just a deflection. They are happily under orders from their Project 2025 handlers. They want this, period.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
They can be nos because it doesn't matter. It's all theater. We need to stop talking about the Republicans in Congress and about strategies to put this to bed in 2026. The Republicans are all FOS, period.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
They're all afraid. And that fear will destroy democracy.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
So why doesn’t the interviewer say that. This is not an interview, this is a propaganda forum. The media doesn't suck, they are complicit.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
He wouldn't take the bribe (whatever it was) or they didn't trust that he would reveal it.

Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
All this discourse about what messaging should be has not examined professionally about and among the people who voted against Kamala. Note that people vote against issues, not for issues.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Can we stop talking about the media like they are just doing a bad job and start calling out their complicity? We must recognize it is oligarchs vs the people, period.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
First priority what is wrong with our messaging?
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
If you say the lie long enough . . . That's their strategy. I'm sure it will end up on Fox Noise.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
The paper is run by oligarchs.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
All the news outlets are either run by oligarchs or cowards. This nation is too filled with fat, happy white people who have never had to put their ass on the line for anything.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Totally agree

If that is how a person views their life, then I pity them
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
That's where it all falls apart. Reporters have a responsibility to report the truth, just like a soldier might have to put their life on the line. This is called courage, period.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Standing up means courage. Fired? Where does that fit when you look in the mirror? Many of us have resigned from positions when our bosses asked us to look the other way.

It’s wonderful to see this amazing group of people building something that news organizations won’t.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
It was a scam, period. Any "sale" was just for the record. Their mission was to destroy, not fix. They did not fail, they succeeded. Revisionist history already? Come on.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
No, they wanted one place to get rid of instead of 50. Much easier and cheaper to lobby against. Don't ever think they changed their mind, it was the plan all along.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Money, money, money . . .
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Owned by oligarchs. What did you expect?
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Man, you had me laughing. It would be funny if it were TV show, but unfortunately it's not. Keep up the good work!

Ooh, I am soooo surprised.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Frankly, as a Democrat of 60 years, the mistake was in our court. We campaigned on divisive issues, instead of the economy and accomplishments.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
Truth. That should be the message, nothing else.

Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
She'd be "brave" if she stood up to them. She's playing the victim to excuse her behavior. There's no "good" in her. Remember Quisling?

"Armed marshalls", actually "armed thugs". This is America? The Founding Father's are spinning in their graves.

That's because he's too stupid to understand that his kids' 401 k and HIS OWN PENSION FUND is in the stock market. This is the definition of a dumbass.
Bob Gerometta (@bobgodm.bsky.social) reply parent
We need to carefully examine what led to a good deal of our Country's population to endorse cruelty and hatred. This is not just Fox Noise, this is either a lack of teaching morality or a lack of teaching anything. We need to stop teaching kids to pass a test and teach concepts and thinking.

They're all taking Russian money. They see democracy as getting in the way of their greed. This is the society we've built.

All racist scare tactics that have worked since the 50s. We have not grown as a nation - we've regressed. Phooey on us.

I call these guys "line chasers" because they spend all their time focused on moving a single metric like costs or "efficiency" up or down and ignore any other effects from it. We don't need to talk about the AI paperclip optimization problem when we have people living the same ethos...
