I'm ded. I love my Governor!
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Darn. I was wistfully thinking that could happen.

No doubt he was late because the IV they use to keep him upright and fairly coherent, take time. I think of how many performers, who are no longer with us, were pumped full of drug cocktails to make them perform. His face is red and patchy under the makeup today. He's not well.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Amazing how someone can change so quickly in a matter of hours, right? The brightside is that Vance and the others are benefitting from the overspray of that heavy AI filtering.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
I see by his hairstyle today that he's visiting the Island of Toupee. The Gulf Of Trump's Hair is getting wider, he may need the Army Corp of Engineers to dredge something....
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Also.. can you IMAGINE how much makeup and filtering it took to make him look like that today? We saw him earlier, he looked like Uncle Fester after a 4-week bout of Gout and Covid. Never look behind that curtain, MAGA.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
I knew it. He is doing it for political purposes. What a jerk. He is trying to steal the election, and is now sending a message to other states that if they don't change it so he can steal it, they will be punished. F that guy.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Gorgeous... thank you
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
maybe it can be seized as part of the legal recovery from that massive lawsuit against him.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
this broke my brain...
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
you can really see now that every bit of his coverage on TV, from Fox News especially, is being filtered as it's aired. He does not look like that on TV. He's an unwell 80 year old man. His hats are getting bigger on his head.. what's up with that?
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
So true. The lie that they "can't afford to hire in America," means "we can't afford to take billions off the middle, and pay a decent wage." Vulture capitalism buys up good companies, strips them, sends work overseas, then bankrupts them, at a profit. Our tax code should've stopped this decades ago
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, that is the dumbest thing about this. They want to weaponize space.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
His nasty inner circle of racists are big mad at Colorado for being "woke." Moving it to Alabama, where the racists run free. He's uprooting the lives of people and businesses that support the Space Command in Colorado Springs, and sending them to Alabama. Expect to hear the words: "woke" and "DEI"
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
So they put 1,000 FBI agents to redact trump's name from the files, but later they're doxxing a victim? That's not an error. It was intentional.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah.. the stories of people who can just sell their house and move to London. I'm more interested in the flower vendors whose children are left alone at home, with neighbors scrambling to care for them, when their single mother was abducted on the street for being brown.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
No one has ever accused that bunch of being smart, though.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Hard to see the big picture when so much is coming at us, but "low white birthrate" posts and purging of brown people, and targeted military policing of Black people, is creating a White Christian States of America. They only want the Black and brown babies to adopt, for performative christianity
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
"The War Department" sounds like a bad self-published Amazon book. Doesn't sound very "Nobel Peace Prizey" to me. As Leavitt teased it was about the DoD, I'll run with the relocation of Space HQ, because he's mad at Colorado. AND they are trying to outrun whatever health thing happened this weekend
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
There's some plausible things, as Leavitt teased that it's "exciting news about the DoD." Which perhaps is the changing of the name to The War Department (which sounds like an obscure movie he saw late at night) and as someone wrote, moving Space Command cuz he's pissed at Colorado
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Is there anything those lowlifes haven't ruined?
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
It's insidious, though, since 9/11. People didn't notice things like Sirius naming the right wing channel " The Patriot Channel." It's been slipped into our pop culture.

Wish I was in LA this month... I'd like to do a "man on the street" with as many Angelenos as possible. Showing them the clip, then just recording the laughs and cursing. Then stitch together in a big beautiful montage. Or perhaps I'm just a little tired tonight and need some dark chocolate.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, that is word he probably does know. ;)

Hmmm.. War in Venezuela (just don't ask him to spell it.) Vance is taking over (better than nothing, right?) Declaring a takeover of more BLUE state cities He'd taking over the Fed because of another made up f-ing emergency. He's renouncing his MS-13 membership.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
that's my bet. They like to start wars overnight..
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Have we started a pool? I say it's that we started a war with Venezuela overnight... My favorite would be that he's stepping down. But either it's a war, or a cruel and grandiose plan to send troops to ALL blue cities, and thereby declaring martial law.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
I applaud Newsweek for doing the bare minimum. THIS is why the MSM has no bite anymore. They actually wrote a story about trump "responding" to the rumors. A Truth Social post??? Really? Everyone knows that his pet Natalie has the Truth Social phone, not him. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
These are like the 3 Stooges robots. omg
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
His wording is so interesting... "terrible tragedy." That's an interesting choice of words.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Someone fact checked that golf course photo.. it was on Gruder's social media on the 23rd. trump may be the first president who's decline will lift the stock market.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Because we're a badass State, and she deserves to be protected.

So either that was a double (not their first time using one in this admin, or he's so far gone that he can barely make it to the car. Notice he was already in golf shoes at the car... which is a weird thing to do, especially if you're a fall risk.

Thank goodness they saved us Angelenos from Mariachi Bands, flower vendors, and line dancing. There are too many people that have been curated to believe that LA is a hellscape, when in fact it's paradise.

Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Doesn't look like him, or it's a defeated version of him. Beyond the goiter-like neck, he would never wear a giant hat like that. My thinking is that he's dealing with the 25th Amendment staring in his face. Having said that, we all know there is a Melania-Double.. so... they're used to that charage
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
As planned, they installed JD Vance, and are now filling every spot with Heritage Foundation, Thiel, and Yarvis, loyalists. It's a an expensive-suited coup. Trump was the Trojan Horse...they'll use him as long as it takes, then 25thA him. It's already in process, as they leak his medical condition.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
If a cart can break your "beautiful" limestone pavers, then you aren't a great "builder." (which is a joke, because he never actually touched a hammer in his life.) Your ground tiles will crack if they're too large, and if your base material is not correctly done. What a maroon.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
I've been noticing more CHP on the roads.. like a lot of them! Hoping they also start dealing with the "fast and furious" crowd going 90mph on the freeways. I mean, when they're not busy with the other stuff.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
omg.. really? Did we only paint the side they have to climb on? Heck of a PR stunt, Kristi!
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Good. But that will be interesting, as now we're seeing the kidnap crews are filled with people not affiliated with anyone, who are bounty hunters handing off people to ICE agents in parking lots. Last week they were repossessing cars for a living.. now people. Are they included?
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
It David Frum talking about Alligator Alcatraz, or trump's campaign??
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh I just realized it. Another "hint" that he started a war with Venezuela??? Isn't that what scandalized and failing presidents do? He thinks he'll "go to heaven" if he "frees" Venezuela. I swear to god, the amount of uric acid in his body right now is making him more delusional than ever.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Well damn. I was just thinking about the CIA today, and thinking that they've been relatively untouched. is there any legal way to stop them from filling that most-crucial agency with loyalists?? I feel like an authoritarian coup is unfolding in front of us, and I'm not given to hyperbole.

Staying in a house with an induction stove. As a terribly impatient person, it's the BEST!!!

Why the hell are they only assigning Black units to do this work? Every video I see is the same.. while the white dudebros are standing around office buildings, doing nothing.

Does this mean he's dead and Q will say that he's come back at RFK, Jr??? Isn't that their specialty?
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
He has his fangirl/phonegirl "Natalie" in charge of his Truth posts... she's in her 20s an obsessed with him. Think Laura Loomer with less plastic surgery, and Kayleigh without the cross.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
You saw that Q next to the cross in his hand, too?
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Lemme guess. They found a loophole, and Daddy Trump will step down and Baby Trump, Jr. will take his office... bypassing Cabbage Patch Vance??? Also, you have to laugh when an AI "artist" signs their creation.

Funny.. I used to have warm feelings about Canadians I had met, and befriended. But here on Bluesky, I am done with Canadians heaping abuse on all of us. We all didn't vote for that fuck. And if you understood our govt process, you'd know that even without all the trump-fuckery, we're all fucked.

Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Why the hell would we go to war with Venezuela? Are we after their oil again? I know it's not about human rights abuses, as the GOP if pro-human rights abuse.

"...but" (behold the underlying truth.) The greedy faux-Christian, is here to tell us all, that IF anyone speaks about how to prevent the tragedy, and if that solution mentions guns, then we are horrible for trying to "politicize" it. He's insufferable with his fake 1960s smug talk show host voice.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Interesting he's wearing golf shoes to the car... that's not the norm at all, as they can cause tripping. He's carrying a formal black suit jacket. Will there be pics of him actually golfing today?
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Either they've been taping his neck and chin up for tv, or the 3-car garage triple-chin is new and caused by fluid backup from his heart and kidneys.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Just once, I'd like the chyron to say "can you believe this bullshit?"
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Take a look.. what do you think? Either the fluid is backing up into his chin and neck, or it's a double. Even his nose looks odd.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Peter Theil. Of course. The Heritage Foundation, et al, have infiltrated our govt. From "Big Balls" who worked for Heritage, to all the people quietly taking ALL types of positions of authority. We are becoming the United State of Heritage Foundation...
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
The pic I saw either didn't look like him, or he's losing the battle of body fluids pooling and puffing. What's with the little pointy nose? I mean, if they can have a Melania Double...
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Every person in that town should be wearing pride clothing 24/7 when outside. Hell, I'd get a car wrap. Just troll the hell out of these bigots and authoritarians.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
and that pic circulating that does NOT look like him, or if it IS.. damn, he looks horrible like he's ballooning up like a blowfish. CHF and kidney disease in their end stages, causes a ton of edema and ascites. I mean.. is that even his nose?
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
The distinction is that Kennedy actually believes the unproven, unscientific, youtube quackery, and the Heritage Foundation (aka current White House,) is using him as a figurehead to further their aim of "reducing the surface population," in their Scroogesonian world.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Mark my words, this is a dry run to have troops stationed at polling sites, just like the "holes" he talks about when mentioning predominantly black or brown countries. They will be checking IDs. they will be intimidating people to keep them away from voting if they're not white.

F*cking Heritage Foundation monsters strike again. I'd say we warned people, but there is at least 1/3 of Americans who don't WANT to help the starving children, or stop the torment of dying of preventable diseases. Hell, they support a HHS Director that endorses death by preventable diseases here!
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
can't believe CNN misspelled "insurrectionist."
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
to be fair, that IS training for the president's job. The only difference is Vance is not vacationing at a golf resort he owns.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
trump's vision, like the book he didn't really write, is "the Art of the Deal." It dovetails perfectly with the vision of a stripped-down America, that can be salvaged for parts.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't understand how TF they can do that. It's a former VP. I can't wait until he, his inner circle, and family, are in prison.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
OMG.. that fucking asshole. The White House is a racist den.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
This is what trump prides himself on. The intention destruction of properties and companies, in order to "make deals." He did not write The Art of the Deal, and even his ghostwriter had to spend months trying to put together a cohesive "strategy" for the book. This is what trump calls "dealmaking"
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
and forcing the entire crew to stop fighting fire for 3 hours while they went through everyone's ID? When they monetized this bullshit, they released hell on earth.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep! Nailed it (literally.). You know that his staff has told him it's real gold. He wants it to have that Russian opulence, so I'd monitor the invoices if I were the budget folks. No wonder they wanted to go to Fort Knox to look at the gold- that was weird, right?
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
it's the world they "live" in online. A 15 y.o. run plow bike into a crowd of adults on a sidewalk. When 2 men grabbed his bike to stop. He unleashed the most vile shit toward a lot of adults, using racial slurs (he was Latino himself.) They are being raised by wolves.. the wolves of Silicon Valley
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
aka Sounds like a Stephen Miller production. He still hasn't gotten over the torment of having to having to pick up his own trash in high school, instead of making the Latino janitors do it.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
They are monsters. trump is talking about trying to "get into heaven" by solving the Ukraine conflict. At the same time, allowing and pushing his inner circle to destroy so many lives in the name of racism. I guess he thinks that God and St. Peter, and Jesus, are mediocre white men, like him.

It's not all a distraction. It's just a horrible administration trying to do as much damage as possible. They are trying to appease their deepest maga support by doing these things, in addition to paying her family $5 million dollars.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow. I feel sorry that she made some very terrible choices. When I heard trump advocating capital punishment for anyone who kills someone in the Capitol Bldg, I wondered if that's targeted at the agent who had to shoot to protect the Chambers. That's why I'm wary of the timing of this sudden honor.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social)
Head's up fellow Californians! Don't take it for granted that Democrats will vote for the Election Rigging Response Act. Word from friends is that some Democrats, especially older ones, are hesitant because they think it's not "fair play." Talk to friends and neighbors to address their concern
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Not saying it's intentional, but the videos I saw were all predominantly Black units picking up trash. White units are downtown standing by nice office buildings. Is anything unintentional anymore?
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
Or they could be back home in their jobs as Dentists, restaurant owners, servers, paralegals, nannies.
Diana (@ftwdiana.bsky.social) reply parent
So i just saw white National Guard standing guard over fancy office buildings downtown. The Black Guard members are picking up trash? Even if it wasn't intentional, they should really think about their optics. But I have a feeling they did these assignments intentionally.
