Not intending to insult anyone here. All these people saying China wants their information for some nefarious plot. For what? To steal your identity in China? To sell your individual information to someone else? It’s our government that did that. Its done.

Was listening to your show during my commute and it struck me that I didn’t hear anyone question why a 14yo was hired to work in his spa. What kind of aesthetic is he curating for guests that requires a 14yo girl, whose employment you would consider a “loss”, in a spa?

Why is this the first time I’m seeing this? This should have been shown everywhere by now. I know it’s horrifying to read but shows what a disgusting person he is.
Sooz (@sgripp.bsky.social) reply parent
Why are they “rehearsing” anything? It’s stupid planning by inexperienced people who keep fumbling around with our liberties. Dumb can be dangerous but don’t give them more credit than they deserve. Fear is preventing leaders from leading. Trump is a small man so keep him small.

We’ve taken to trolling our neighbors and people in my city walking around in MAGA and Let’s Go Brandon gear. If we can’t move, might as well MAKE RACISTS UNCOMFORTABLE AGAIN. Talk loudly around them about Trump’s catastrophes, blast liberal media at the pool, etc. Doing our part.

And ER wait times will still prioritize acuity and your BCBS ear infection will wait 12 hours instead of 2. Think they’ll start prioritizing coverage? Naw. They’re hourly and adrenaline junkies. I’ve never heard an ER nurse excited about a low deductible.
Sooz (@sgripp.bsky.social) reply parent
They won’t. This is history repeating itself. When the outrage outnumbers the complicit, they go back to quiet hate. When permission is rescinded, they just put their swastikas/MAGA hats away and say nothing, waiting for the next time a president says “there were good people on both sides.”

Exactly. Please stop referring to him as “centrist”. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing and duped the boomer dems. They’re finally wising up to it but it is a slow process. He says the right things at the right time but never backs it up with his vote.

Perhaps Trump is just really really stupid. His stupidity was underestimated by a lot of slightly less stupid and egotistical people who are now hopelessly tied to the stupidity. Some are capitalizing on the stupid and some are getting frustrated or going quiet. Is Russia banking on their “asset”?

Abhorrent. Sick people that were just waiting for the green light after their pardon. He knew it when he didn’t call them off on J6. He knew they’d be useful and probably bring their friends. These are domestic terrorists. No spin in the media will change what it is.
Sooz (@sgripp.bsky.social) reply parent
Every time I read one of these I have a knee jerk response of, “shut up, shut up, shut up, you idiot.” STOP TWEETING ABOUT OUR FIGHTING CAPABILITIES! No one wants this war, AND no one wants troops or civilians inadvertently killed because Trump can’t stop running his mouth! It’s all so stupid.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I keep thinking back to John Stewart on Monday explaining that MAGA extremists are not against war with Iran on principle. Folks are making the false assumption they suddenly grew a conscience. They want the military home for the civil war they are provoking. THEY WANT DEMs TO SHOW UP WITH FORCE.

Couldn’t agree more. Rick Steves reminds me that traveling is the best investment I can make. I bring my daughter along when I travel because I want her to see beyond the US. When I was up late nights with her as an infant, I watched Rick Steves Europe episodes until she fell back to sleep.

Interesting read but I have to be a little suspicious of the timing of the release of your findings. It’s worth the public awareness, but coming at a time that RFK, Jr. and MAGA conspiracy theorists are trying to sow doubt of the healthcare sector in the American public. Just gives me pause.

This reads like he’s in over his head. He’s going back to sales-pitch rhetoric which he uses as a distraction when he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Especially pulling in the “we”. Trump doesn’t share credit with anyone. Is it possible he’s finally realizing he doesn’t know what he’s doing?
Sooz (@sgripp.bsky.social) reply parent
Leaning out the door like he’s got dinner on the stove, trying to get rid of some sales rep. Taking nothing seriously. American lives, immigrant lives, troops, civilians in Iran or any other country…nothing matters to him. It’s all a show and he’s gunning for best actor in the role of president.

I wanted to see Omaha have a more visible protest in the heart of the city but it ended up more like a picnic. The point is not to be annoyingly critical of anti-Trump efforts but rather that half our city is not seeing the protests on their news so we need to be in their way on our streets.

Stigmatization leads to less people reporting but not necessarily less people seeking care. It just means that Autism is going to get rebranded (misdiagnosed) as anxiety with ADHD, etc. and treatment will be misdirected. We will have more kids on unnecessary meds just to stay in the classroom…

Unleash insults on Trump as much as humanly possible. His ego is the weakest part of his entire brand and you always go for the weak spot. That’s why the protests are so important - constant visuals of how despised he is may be the best recourse we have outside of voting.
