Hell, if he can see mitochondria in folks while walking through an airport - when no other humans can see it even via powerful microscopes, maybe we should listen to them? I wonder if RFK can tell me my blood glucose and blood pressure by reading this text?

Maybe they had a job to do, were doing it, but it didn’t include pushing a rope uphill. Now it does. And, how could any of these folks “fix” the ridiculously dangerous combination of our believe-anything voters and say anything right wing media?

Women aren’t people? No thinking is allowed in this administration. Just free-flow verbal diarrhea like their dictator leader.

She broke the window after seeing the armed guards and the overturned furniture trying to hold her back . . . Heard her co-insurrectionists yelling “he’s pointing his gun” and still was in the process of climbing through the window. A conscious decision. How does MAGA anger get so deep? What if…?

And more employees are merely “independent contractors” with no contributions to Social Security by employer or employee. The laborer will accrue no retirement benefits and the program will be insolvent sooner. A real coup de grâce for many American workers.

And don’t forget renewable energy. There is only one idiot who can’t see that the benefits of wind turbines exceeds the significance of his objection to their visibility from the grounds of his (highly-leveraged) golf course. And now that he owes big oil, there goes solar in Utah, etc.

The J6 criminals were recorded live. The J6 Committee provided all the evidence on-line. Just what is Bartiromo accusing and Martin confirming? Because this is all public.

If we don’t, very few people under 40 will buy insurance. Not to shirk the law, but because it will be impossible. Housing and home & auto insurance have already skyrocketed. They will have to go without and hope they stay healthy. Shameful.

They have done this all over the state. Made one district in east Texas span 7 counties. Engineer a district to be near 100% dem so multiple Republican districts were made “safer” by excluding Dems, nullifying their votes.

GOP “representatives” represent just what, who these days? People they despise, distrust, threaten, punish. . . and deprive of life, liberty, happiness, the right to vote (and have it count), and a good night’s sleep.

It’s too simple for the greedy: point to anything you’d rather ignore than possibly influence your business plan negatively, get Fox and morons like Bannon & Kirk to call it “woke,” then wait for Abbott, Paxton, Johnson, etc. to tell you how they can help you destroy the planet & its inhabitants.

He’ll cease production on this just like he did for the cybertruck in Austin and for the same reason - no public funding.

It’s full of lies, and now government agencies are pushing lies directly to citizens. See Social Security emails yesterday. Total lies. Eliminate X and one source of bs is out of your life.

She’s obviously never tried to get a private sector job when over 50. These morons make it sound so easy. In reality, what you can land after years of trying is a low-paying independent contractor job with zero benefits. The rich get richer; the Republicans call you lazy.

Actually, we don’t know what they were promised in exchange for their vote. Cabinet appointment, money, pardons, where will ICE kidnap residents next, etc. He’ll promise anything … and they’re too stupid to anticipate the very likely refusal to fulfill his promise by Trump.
mbloodgood.bsky.social (@mbloodgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Actually, he knows . . . and he’s pleased because he hopes they will leave and go to another state. He believes they do not belong in his state - they don’t deserve it - just like MAGAs think only other MAGAs should be allowed to stay in “their country.”

He has never been, nor considered himself, a “worker.” He is better than us suckers. It’s easy and lazy to make or discuss rules that will never apply to him - like showing ID to buy bread. He’s truly useless.

And how many of those states pay more into the Federal government than they take out? Maybe SD. The others, like Texas, and unlike California, receive more than they pay.

The Press can do much better than write a book a year later (when there is no risk of consequences). But our fellow voters have CHOSEN the Fox clown show and tech bro puppets to “lead” the U.S. It’s no shock they ravage it for personal gain. Imagine if Trump resigns or is removed. Who takes over?

Also, . . . GOP members of Congress say the 10 million they kick off Medicaid can just get a job and will receive health insurance there . . . but most easy-to-land jobs are independent contractor roles with ZERO benefits. I guess they show photo ID for bread, too.

And they sell pardons to the highest bidder — unless you participated in an insurrection and injured police, in which case the pardon is free because the orange moron thinks it will look good on Fox.

If the U.S. really wanted to slow the outflow of jobs to other countries, here is a faster, easier way: change our tax laws so companies don’t get a tax deduction for all expenses related to moving equipment & personnel there. It is just a cost - benefit, dollars & cents decision. Change the math.

1) I’m constantly reminded of Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary: “If you haven’t moved your manufacturing to China, you are an idiot.” 2) It is a global economy, which will move forward without us. That is what Trump, Musk & Miller will accomplish.

And Comer tried to lend credence to the margarita nonsense that was photoshopped. He’s all-in on bs but denies the truth. What else is new.

Hmmm. I’ve checked in on “Christian television” many times over the past 40 years and every time I found complete and utter white superiority nonsense.

And they condemn “woke?” This is really frightening, in that many idiots equate any concern for Palestinians to being antisemitic and then they declare you pro-Hamas. And these idiots all work for the Trump administration or Fox (which are now the same thing).

If raising the cost of borrowing was the goal. While destroying our reputation & credibility … sure.
mbloodgood.bsky.social (@mbloodgood.bsky.social) reply parent
We also have CEOs who, for 40 years, had these goals: -Offshore manufacturing -Downsize the onshore labor force -Increase their own compensation to stratospheric levels. Now, they think they are too important to pay taxes. So they supported and financed Trump to get another cut.
mbloodgood.bsky.social (@mbloodgood.bsky.social) reply parent
Average Americans will see prices of everything they buy skyrocket ... while the rich get to write off yachts and jets. Then, Trump will use the “value” of tariffs to justify another tax cut for the wealthiest. The joke will be on all of us, but especially MAGAs. Pay for their jets, cut their taxes.

The boys don’t care what they leave behind, only what they get to consume. “Legacy” is something you disregard in order to go full MAGA.

Just leave X. It’s free speech — for Musk, Trump, & MAGA — but no longer tolerates thoughts, ideas, opinions, counterpoints, facts, or history. Life is better without it.

Musk formed the first “X” some 25 years ago and renamed it “PayPal,” which went on to help cause identity thefts of many. He should never be trusted with your money or data. Period.

He has said for decades , before Tesla, before Twitter, that he wants all transactions to flow through him - to be the world’s bank, skimming 3% or more of every transaction. To control the currency itself would be icing on the cake. He’s crazy. He’s dangerous. No one matters. Just like Trump.
mbloodgood.bsky.social (@mbloodgood.bsky.social) reply parent
You would almost surmise that the billionaires want us to own nothing, and rent everything from them . . . while they charge a transaction fee for every service we buy. You think PBMs have mucked up prescription costs? You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Segment idea. Like 1,000’s of others, I felt a need to reduce my time on MSNBC, etc. That’s over. My return was always going to start with Deadline Whitehouse. Thanks for Friday’s show, including the Dan Harris segment. “Action absorbs anxiety.” I’d like more on actions.

And this economy benefits few Americans. Most don’t have to worry about groceries anymore. . . they worry about rent, car prices, mortgage interest, and all forms of insurance. But yeah, hooray for the top 5%.

I would have agreed with you until 2022. Since then, our luggage has arrived at the carousel ~40% of the time. None lost permanently, but we’ll never check our meds again, and now carry on toiletries, underwear, socks, etc. Thumbs down United, Delta, and BA. Meanwhile, Southwest has been perfect.

Unless one is really into flagellation there is no reason to stay: no news; no new ideas; no inspiration; no discoveries of artists, authors, thinkers you want to learn more about; and that’s without even considering suppression of truth and ideas, blocking links, etc. Value proposition destroyed.

Unless the not-so-supreme court issues a ruling that a president who resigns cannot be prosecuted. Sounds crazy, but . . . And I can’t stop thinking that Trump doesn’t want the job. He wants to golf and go to rallies. He doesn’t give a crap about any of this or any of us.

Many think volume and/or velocity of speech are substitutes for intelligence. Others rely on uninformed, unearned arrogance. Here’s how I spot intelligence: after reading or hearing it, my mind is working, I am thinking, I am excited, I may be sweating. Intelligence is energizing, not repelling.

Partly due to the Greg Abbott-Ken Paxton-Dan Patrick triumvirate of shame. I love Texans, but they vote like shit.

And can retain a not-so-Supreme Court. There were folks warning us about why billionaires were funding campaigns of crappy candidates (“It’s all about Supreme Court picks.”) Citizens United put the billionaires in control . . . and they now have more wealth than the entire middle class.

Those folks are not pro-technology - technology was the means, wealth was the end. Lawyers buying up shares of music rights, feeding songs through computers, then suing an artist who used a G-C-D chord progression are not pro-music.
