Someone upon finding out I served in the Marines during the Iraq War said I was a murderer and that I children. They kept it up until I said you keep saying that and I’ll report you to Bluesky and if I ever find out who you are I’ll sue you for defamation- because the person forwarded it out.
I got a subscription to The Atlantic this year to avoid reading “both sides” journalism. Encouraging kids and families to exercise, improving school nutrition is not the same as what RFKjr and his fellow quacks and grifters are doing to public health & medicine in this country. Do better Atlantic.
Any data on wind?
14-7 OSU not a butt kicking but I agree Bama got worked. Tennessee smoked Syracuse, and if LSU wins then we are looking okay. And I’m a UGA alum.
They cannot handle criticism
If I could add to your great thread. I believe what’s not talked about enough by the political press and Dems: just how much $$$ this man is shoveling into suitcases and putting them on AF1 to Mar A Lago. The corruption story needs to be highlighted. The New Yorker reported he’s made 4.5 billion.
I also think a “great migration” of citizens out of states where I live - Georgia, and other states like Texas, Ohio, to Blue States to help consolidate power and resources.
Really good. Thank you. Yes on Hitler, the Nazis never won a majority of the vote in Germany. As a matter of fact they were struggling in 1932 and Hitler contemplated suicide. But the fear of communism and the Weimar government’s struggle to inspire confidence led to Hitler being given an in.
I’m not against getting health care for the uninsured or cleaning up a devastating spill, just we need to know for those it goes to who support this current government, we will not get them over on our side.
Obama delivered health care and cleaned up the biggest oil spill at sea and all that time and effort lost him the House and Senate in 2010. Now what would be happening now if this spill happened off Washington St, NJ, or California?
The Obama Adm gets into gear, setting up recovery and clean up for LA, Miss, AL, FL and a superfund for BP to pay into. Eventually the beaches and coastlines got cleaned up and recovered. And what did those devastated states do. Voted for Romney in 2012 and Trump in 2016.
They pass a weak recovery bill and let off most of the Wall Street gang for their actions on the crisis. Focus becomes health care for 2009. Narrowly passes with ZERO GOP support. Then in April with the economy still slumping the BP Horizon spill happens. The largest marine oil spill in history 2/
If I may and you can use this since you have a bigger audience to share but the 2010 BP Horizon was the canary in the coal mine of where we were headed imo. Obama wins big time in 2008 with the financial crisis in full swing. TARP is passed then when he’s elected TARP 2 is passed. 1/
We need to see you more often Big Dawg. You have had 9 years to chill. Go run for Congress or Senate - then get back in leadership. Your absence is crushing your legacy.
Really good David. There is definitely a crowd on the Right that would be just fine living in a society with reduced options if they knew that others were suffering too and they or ppl that looked like them were in charge.
Where are all the elites defending this woman?
It’s notable to me that if Cook was a white woman or man she may still be in jeopardy of her job but the support for her would be stronger.
52 here. We’ve grown up through all this together. No question black women are the bedrock to fighting right wing politics and we do have a racist pos Prez * who can’t stand the power and strength they bring. The Fed Gov Lisa Cook who is being railroaded is getting less support than John Bolton
Kemba I don’t know how old you are but in 2008 when Obama won - he crushed McCain. He won in Ohio, Florida, Iowa, and Virginia- a state a Democrat had not won since 1964. But since Obama how have we done in Iowa, FL, OH? These ppl voted for him then didn’t vote Clinton, Biden, and Harris.
I agree with most of what you say. I think money has a lot to do with it too.
Bill Cassidy????
Maybe Libs need to start doing open carry
It’s what we do at an exceptional level in this country.
It’s just business as usual in this nation Senator and there is nothing you can do about it other than tough talk and prayers to the victims.
How do we not know the targeting of Chris Christie is payback for his conviction of Jared Kushner’s father who happens to be our Ambassador to France?
Where is Big Gretch and Shapiro? Everyone was drooling over those two back in 2024.
Democrats can’t stay on a message- abortion vs the border- who won that? Abortion rights are hardly talked about yet the border is something the Republicans stayed disciplined on. Jan 6th criminals and pardons vs MS-13. Which side won that one with their voters?
His health looks really bad. He’s hit a big decline from last year. He’s always had looney tunes ideas but his constant sitting behind the desk, flanked by ppl all around him is concerning.
But it will always come back.
I saw Gov Pritzker set up a legal hotline for LGBTQ citizens to get various health and legal information. He gave a speech about it. What do you think of Big Gretch? Seems she has gone MIA after meeting with Trump earlier this year.
That’s right / you showed me your building.
You and Bill talked today & you mentioned what would happen if Obama held up funding. Well in 2010 when the BP Horizon blew up, every Republican in LA, Miss, Bama, FL voted against the ACA, yet Obama moved heaven and earth to help those communities. The record is strong of Dems helping red states.
I hope you are having a good day. I saw this and wanted to share. I can’t see a Newsom or any other Democrat using their DOJ to bully a health system. Basically no one can get gender affirming care in the state of Michigan.
Where the F has Big Gtetch been at the last four months?
The ads had her meeting and talking to transgender ppl. I’ll don’t think there is anything wrong with what she did. But they were effective. I have arguments with ppl all the time about how they are afraid grown men are going to play sports with their daughters- it’s insane but these ppl vote.
You can call me any name in the book, curse me I don’t care. You cross the line accusing me of murder. I’m saving what you sent and your profile if you don’t take back what you sent.
This will get reported to Bluesky.
One of the reasons Harris lost was her SUPPORT for transgender citizens. I know bc I live in the competitive state of GA and every TV ad run by the Trump campaign was a transgender commercial. And do a little reading about what Fascism is. This word is getting overused by ppl w/ limited vocabulary.
Kamala Harris was an elected DA, AG, Senator, and VP. Her first three elections took place in a city and state with some of the largest numbers of progressive voters. She is a a woman and minority. Hillary won the popular vote and Harris narrowly lost running a campaign of 107 days.
That’s wrong.
Good night - to you too. Take care of yourself.
I’m for everyone being allowed to serve. When I enlisted don’t ask don’t tell was the policy and it was the most immoral thing at the time for me. I hated that ppl had to hide but I was a 24 yr old enlisted Marine. Clinton was a clown.
You have gotten yourself in a hole by not once but twice after I gave you a chance to cool it, accused me of raping and murdering children and ppl while serving in the United States Marine Corps. That is defamation. You can call me names, you can’t say that to me. I’m giving you a chance to take it
I don’t want your name I want Kara’s
I also don’t find it appropriate that someone accused me of raping and murdering children while serving my country to the best of my ability. And when I said my service was done honorably that same person said it again. That is defamation correct.
Can you please give me your first and last name please?
Get over yourself. You can vote for whoever you want and I’m not telling anyone to vote for anybody.
I’ve been chatting and giving everyone responses all day. Not running away from anything.
Peace out -
My apologies, it’s late. Kara
Btw - nice building. I live in an old one in Atlanta.
My ignorant statement that the Trump Administration is erasing transgender ppl? Since you are record keeping this Dawn was I ignorant to say that?
Comparing me to that slime ball is a low blow my friend.
There is a lot a person like myself can learn and sometimes you got to go through hard knocks to do it. Anyway you should not have to ask for rights that I already have. And that must change and I will do my part to speak up and defend them.
I’m a fair person with being crude: if you say something unprofessional to me I’ll probably say it back. And I don’t discriminate because I do it to ppl who look like me way more. But if I was transgender I’d want every person who isn’t to engage me so I can share my views or hear and clear their
Lela - I apologize I didn’t reply to these above earlier today. Thank you for sharing your views. I don’t know any transgender ppl so this is one of the few ways I can learn and get views. I think my pt was not offensive but obviously some ppl on here felt I was not welcome.
I will definitely do that. Thank you.
I will. Thanks for telling me.
Let me wrap this up to say as I told Laura I’m very happy to know you are not responsible for other people or anything important. I feel confident that won’t change.
Laura you are starting to bore now. I’m very happy you are not in charge of anything important nor have responsibility over people. I feel that will not change in the years to come. Take care of yourself.
I got the reaction I wanted with that pic now and here is my wonderful mom. God bless her. 82 and still going strong. Lots of folks insulted her earlier. Very classy group all day showing their assess and I’m supposed to apologize?
I honestly have not the slightest desire to look at your profile but hey you got a name. Kara, better picture for you?
No i actually took my dogs outside and remembered I support the Human Rights Campaign. I snapped that from the back of my car. I’ll be happy to put my pic back on there. I knew I’d get a reaction. Oh and you are getting a file together on me good work. What else do you need on me?
Chatting with all of these fools might make me drink.
Okay well if Lil Sis the Navy corpsman said it then by God all the Marines are fucking cowards.
Ahh the good ol “oil and corporations” line. Proud that I never had to kill /harm anyone we were around bc we were a professional service and I showed proper respect to the people around us. Proud of my Marines I was responsible for too. Much better than I can say for all the ppl I chatted w/today.
Answer my question. Give me an honest answer and I’ll bug off.
It has a lot to do with it. I’m waiting for someone to actually tell me something he’s done versus something he might do or something he said on a podcast to reduce the rights of transgender ppl.
I’m glad you cleared up the fact that instead of being a slur, it was used as an insult. And you call me “Chris” while you hide your name and face you fucking clown.
You can talk all the shit you want about Marines - go right ahead. I don’t fucking care and neither would any Marine in our out of service.
“Chris”? We drinking buddies? “Tranny” was used to me first and I replied with the word back. But I guess bc I’m a “white male old man” my use was a slur but the informed, enlightened I am assuming trans person who started this can. And I’m also told “I was not welcome”. Take it up w/Bluesky.
Well then you need to take that up with Bluesky. What mistakes did I make other than address almost everyone on here? And you have never ever commented on a social media website to something you don’t agree with? If not being welcome is the standard for all discussion in this country we got problems
I don’t care what you want and I’m glad you feel the way you do. You made the decision here to comment to me. Good luck with your revolution.
Whoever the Dems nominate, they should have a platform that supports transgender rights in the USA. There will be pressure from the Right b/c that’s what they do well. But I wasn’t very impressed with what I heard back from what I assume were transgender folk: Long on insults, short on ideas.
So the two time elected governor of the nation’s most populous liberal state which happens to also be our most populous state, is worse than Trump on transgender rights and your proof is some podcast he does? Wow
Okay nice one there with the threat. Well the current regime in power thinks I’m an enemy of the state so if you can’t show your face I have no respect for you And I’m not a transphobic person. Transgender citizens should have all the same rights someone who is not has. Pay attention next time.
Hey Sophia - I gave everyone an opportunity to send their slurs, nasty words and death wishes etc my way with your reposts and gave them all a courtesy reply or two. Your Newsom is worse than Trump is absurd. He’s a two time elected governor in the nation’s most populous liberal state. Nuff said -
Who the fuck are you? At least I have my name and face on here. You hide behind some clownish Lenin illustration like you are some revolutionary. Very impressive.
Okay asshole. Move along now.
Okay I guess I was wrong since you said it was so.
Yes I am a white guy. Very clever observation.
It would be nice if there was evidence of that.
That’s a good looking man.
Well my friend calling someone a “cis” is a slur too so we are even. I was being slurred well before I used the word trannies. Everyone saying what they want to me but I have to police my speech. Sorry not gonna happen.
Did you really take time out of your day to reply to this? I don’t need to be lectured by a racist.
It’s what he is in charge of. The Trump regime is removing transgender citizens from the federal government. I like to judge someone on their record vs what they say on a podcast. I’m not a resident of Cali so it’s something I need to look at myself.
The voters of California get to choose those candidates-
He could be completely playing them. He’s also trying to nuke MAGA republicans from the House of Representatives- that might be a bit more consequential than going on a podcast.
Okay fair points. He’s been the governor of the largest progressive state in the country - handily winning elections. Has he as governor done anything to remove transgender citizens from state government or the national guard?
You can hate me all you want I will defend the rights of all citizens and non citizens living in this country - But if you insult me don’t get outraged when I tell you to fuck off. Own your words
I’m not here to make a case. I made one objective comment about how the Trump administration is erasing trans citizens, something I’m against and I’m the bad guy for pushing back on ppl bullying me.
I’m 52 and one day you will be old. Lot of ageism here.
You are a goddamn clown to even compare your struggle to ppl whose roots came here in chains. Get over yourself you fucking pos.
You = “trannie” to the “N word” Who’s being arrogant now. Fuck off How many transgender folks were lynched? Were slaves - Give me a break - fuck off - I don’t want to be lectured by a bunch of White trannies about they are the same as black folk- fuck off.
I’m fine with the insults but you can’t claim a high ground- you are no better than MAGA scum.
I’m 52 so I’m a few decades away but your ageism and nastiness to older ppl is duly noted. You demand respect but hurl insults - very classy
Is that an insult? If I was trans I’d be proud and if someone non trans called me that I’d be okay but that’s me.
Do you have a name? And everything you listed about me is pretty fucking great. I put my face and name on what I say. You have a fucking cartoon image.
Amber - I don’t really care about who “dunks” on me. I’m glad you are enjoying it. I’ve yet to actually get a serious reply other than insults so meh.
