Just think, Liberace in person.
Retired Army, corporate, consulting. Support human for a Frenchie. Former republican. Fishing, shooting, biking, mangler of good wood. Dem delegate to local and state convention, RAM volunteer, Chair County Planning. But...shoulda been Keith Moon.

Only the worst, most inexperienced and amateurish "leader" claims victories for himself, fixes blame first before the fix and fires subordinates on first offense. This dickhead wouldn't last a day in uniform and putting him in charge of a squad would be above his abilities. 8647
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
These are angry and ignorant bullying assholes. The only was to stop them, to put them back in their holes is a punch in the nose.
It is gut-wrenching and a daily horror show. I'm a senior who spend almost three decades in uniform. There were presidents I didn't love or respect but I served them. This one is purposefully breaking a system I am invested in.
Did you ever think that you would live to see the day when you would be watching helplessly as your country is torn apart from the inside out?
But, but... he had a bear in his trunk and a worm in his head.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Unless you grew up with cricket it makes no sense and never will.
This is incredible from Glamorgan U18’s Mo Aazim 🤯👀 He also scored a fifty coming in at no. 10 against Northants U18s 👏👏 #GlamorganU18s #OhGlammyGlammy
Dogs are better than people.
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
I told my daughter that she needed to change her attitude. She replied: "for complaints, please speak to the manufacturer!"
Must.Take.Back.House. Nothing else matters as much. Find your serving republican representative and use any weapon at your disposal to pull them down, hold them accountable.
In a non-bizarro world your plea makes sense. Not in this universe. None of the rules work with these people.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
I still think many Americans have no idea how bad this is going to get. I saw President Obama reposting a tepid, mealy-mouthed analysis by Ezra Klein—who's never seen a phenomenon he couldn't be 5 years late in incompetently circumscribing—and I felt like we don't have what it takes to survive this.
I can make with the "blah-blah" about sorry someone was killed but in truth, I am not. At some point we all must be held to account for our purposeful actions.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is asking a federal judge for a gag order against Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and their subordinates. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
We need a bit of crazy nowadays. Go for it.
They are the illiterati.
It’s my 43rd birthday today and all I want for my birthday is for people to stop talking about “millennials” like we’re teenagers.
Indeed. It's not that they are just evil, and they are. It's also that they are just no damn good at much of anything. You wouldn't hire them to rake leaves, much less rule a nation.
Unless we want to keep this up forever we are going to have to find a way to bring the trumpmagas back to humanity. Can't live forever in a defensive posture against the anarchist barbarians, they will wear us down.
My fearless forecast is that no one, republican or Democrat, is successful in redistricting prior to the midterms. Court cases lawsuits, delays, I just don't see it. Sounds good, briefs well, likely not gonna come to fruition.
Bluesky is great but it's an echo chamber for center left folks. We're in one of those circle drills where we all turn to the left and pat the person in front of us on the back. WHO'S MY GOOD BOY?
This is completely unacceptable, saying things like this are inflammatory and infuriating, no American should listen to, or entertain statements like this… This is America, this is not American, or constitutional!

Maybe he has hand leprosy. Could spread to his nostril, who knows.
You know how some people celebrate their birthdays for the whole month? Well, I'm doing that for James Dobson's death.
Slavery was not so bad. It gave a real boost to the whips, chains and manacles industries.
Owwww, that one's gonna leave a mark!
Jeffries is trying to master the system. trouble is, there is no system anymore.
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
Someone who I assumed was in their early 30s noted in a post elsewhere that they were a full decade beyond that age, which reinforced the idea to me that I can no longer accurately assess anyone's age anymore, adult humans exist only in two categories: "My age and older," and "indeterminate young."
Whenever you feel like the world is falling apart, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you’re probably not wrong.
He's a thirty stroke cheat. Had to cook the books just to get up to last place.
Every day is filled with the promise and possibility that it will be his last day on Earth.
Too long.
Yes. He's just the witless stunt double.
He looks and acts like a man dying. It will happen, hopefully soon but remember his power was always theater. Even if his health fails, the architects of Project 2025 remain. Celebrate, but know the hand inside the puppet still moves and their plans haven’t changed. #Resist
When you’re too dumb to tell the difference between imitating and mocking.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
And so jobs, economy, personal liberties fade into importance.
University of Virginia actually had a kazoo band up until not so long ago.
If you’re trying to make it harder for people to vote, stop pretending to give a shit about democracy. Every American - regardless of their political views - deserves to have their voice heard.

Joe, a third of Americans welcome it, a third are ignorant or insensate to it. The rest of us still operate in the normal world with its rules and ways. That last third may have to do hard things and I'm not sure they can.
He may have been a tad bit surprised where he ended up.
On December 14, 2012, a mass shooter murdered 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Four days later, evangelical author James Dobson claimed the mass shooting was God's retribution for abortion and gay marriage. He died today at 89.
Here, fixed it.
Must.Take.Mids. That's where the money and effort needs to be.
Some call us shortsighted if we focus on retaking Congress in the midterms rather than on what comes next. No! That’s like calling shortsighted those on the Titanic who focused on avoiding the iceberg rather than on the rest of the voyage. There’s no “rest of the voyage” if we hit the damn iceberg!

Kinetic solutions may well be on the table in the endgame. But every time I try to imagine it, I can't. Identifying and engaging with the other side… It just doesn't make sense to me yet.
It is only a matter of time until one of you, yes, you, post something online that causes the FBI and the DOJ to come and visit. It doesn't have to be a direct threat, apparently all it has to do is be critical. Gonna happen and happen soon.
Good for you. Mine fell off and had to be replaced with a milk crate.

NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom comments on California's new maps moving through the California legislature
Gods, Scotland is so beautiful.
Collegiate players are now professionals so losing interest is happening.
What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?
I agree but the line is moving and those not boomers think anything in the last century is classic rock.
That man is out of his depth so often and so fully it's almost pitiful.
For this administration (using word generously) it's all about threats and blackmail and extortion. They act like the states and the people are the enemy and can't be worked with. This is so damn wrong but reflects the wishes of their dear leader.
MORE!!!
Take a gun safety course from an NRA certified instructor. I hate them too but, they have the best training.
National Guard are your neighbors, sisters, fathers, friends. They are not standing in the street because they want to. When this is all over and back to normal they will still be all those people.
the NFL male cheerleaders thing makes me feel crazy because i’m pretty sure there were male cheerleaders at my high school or others nearby in red ass Kansas 15 years ago and nobody really cared
They are stuck like chuck. My locals are engaged in nothing burger exercises like sending out post cards.
No, I have no angst over the Vikings adding male cheerleaders to their show. Of course a bit of that could be based in not giving two shits about the NFL in general.
Contains the best useful reference for immigrant participation in government programs: usafacts.org/articles/imm...
Not humanity certainly but surely we've seen that about a third of them are without merit.
Given that they are there involuntarily and away from their business, their job, perhaps the benefit of the doubt is in order.
Having the National Guard carry weapons while executing illegal law enforcement is a bad idea. Issuing ammo is an even worse one. Leaders at all levels should be physically checking soldiers for ammunition. Guaranteed, at least one of them has a loaded magazine in his pocket.
AI and authorship. If you ask one of them to write you a poem about whatever can you publish it under your name?
And send Indians back over the land bridge to Asia?
So don't worry, be happy?
He may not be my ideal but at least he's out there manning the ramparts.
all of us who truly love our country are standing with him
And by "horribly doxxed," Kristi Noem means that her husband keeps finding out where she's shacking up with Corey Lewandowski.
Do you miss me yet? Yes George, I do.
We already know he's a scum-sucking dog so what will charter membership in Epstein's child molestation club mean? Nothing. Nothing to his supporters. They will rally around him even tighter. Only winning the mid term elections can save us from him.

Whadda you gonna do: When trump says the mid terms are rigged and have serious problems? When trump orders all the polls closed early due to rioting, insurrection? When the next day he declares the elections null and void? Think I'm inflating the seriousness of the moment?
One of each?
She gets plaudits for clever AND timely!
And exhausted.
Could have scattered that crowd like the cockroaches they are with just a little pew-pew.
Not gonna work this time around. Rip Van Winkle will wake up to brownshirts and no need to register to vote.
Why haven't any of these defenders-of-liberty judges put some trumpmagas in contempt and jailed them?
Don't you be forgettin' us boomers. Ain't dead yet. Still got the best stories that are all getting hijacked by GenXers.
