I love British cozy mysteries and the occasional police procedural. But I swear if they don't retire the phrase "I don't believe in coincidences" they are going to drive me to drink more.
I thought so too.
I've always loved him but it's time for fresh faces. But like you, if he's the guy then let's get to it.
This is just plain smart. Nobody should come here.
All these Ohio republicans are. They are invincible. We are the laboratory of autocracy.
Bastard
Rude but also fair.
Swoon! My dream was always to live in and renovate an old house. So many episodes of This Old House with my dad convinced me I could do it. Bought an old house. Married a not-handy husband. Had regular panic attacks about old house. Now live in a sensibly aged mid century gem! Bravo to you!
What did that pompous ass say?
Howdy neighbor! Followed ya!
Followed all my Ohio peeps.
Thank God. We need to be sued. Like daily.
"Even in a long line of anti-labor GOP presidents, Trump stands out. And while he may not succeed in completely destroying collective bargaining in America, he’s poised to strike terrible blows against organized labor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
It's beautiful!
Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.
Remember time and temperature? What a world.
I swear I always say NO NOTIFICATIONS and yet I seem to have thousands of them.
"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
"there is always an ideal solution that convieniently asks nothing of me and I will get angry if you suggest otherwise" has really been a driving ideological force in our politics since 2020.
What school closure discourse is a reminder of is that there are a lot of ppl in this country, cutting across the political spectrum, who reject the very concept of tradeoffs or that there could ever be a situation where all solutions have downsides & you just gotta pick the least bad one.
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
Uhm, this is some medieval peasant shit. Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold. Peas porridge in the pot nine days old.
Yes. Vivek is a big fan of workers and unions, with quotes like these: - “Eliminate federal employee unions” - “I don’t have a lot of patience for union bosses.” - “I think we need to end teachers' unions.” Other than that, he’s a big labor guy….
I honestly cannot believe we are still arguing about school closures during COVID, it’s as over as it’s ever going to be and we gain literally nothing by still talking about it
That comment does not say what you claim. It doesn't say Newsome is the only choice. It says the people who are already saying they will never vote for X candidate are the idiots. We aren't even at the primary yet and people are already saying they'd rather have more trump. Perfect example of my pt
Which comment?
I think you might be overreacting a bit. Nobody is being told he's the only choice. But some people hate him and don't want to see him get any popular support so they take offense to it and feel like he's being forced on them. A lot of people on here should talk to a therapist.
the alpha energy of a president who looks like a 3000-year-old creature that just wants to die
After each mass shooting, the public asks, “How did we get here?” The real answer goes beyond NRA lobbyists and Second Amendment zealots. It lies in large measure with the strategies of firearms executives like Richard Dyke. (Published Nov. 2023)
Well I haven't seen it and just because you claim some rando did it doesn't make it a phenomenon worth getting worked up over. Also I didn't say no one was saying it, I asked. Two simple questions. I guess they were upsetting to you for some weird reason.
Evil Bove continued to sit in on DOJ meetings after his confirmation which is a huge red flag. Judges are supposed to remain impartial, Bove's actions show he isn't. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
Anyone who matters in terms of influence?
This, very much.
This is my first year growing sunflowers and they have been amazing!
*Trump* may not be canny enough to be *planning* to weaponize the government in a methodical way, but "there are people behind the scenes...and they know what they're doing." @radiofreetom.bsky.social talks Trump's abuses of power and more with @timmiller.bsky.social:
Bets on what the American version of Swan Lake is going to be?
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
Is anyone claiming he's the only hope?
Outrageous. FEMA staff warned that disaster response has been gutted—and instead of fixing it, they were suspended. Retaliating against civil servants for telling the truth puts Americans at risk.
Kamala Harris would not be secretly trying to deport innocent children to Guatemala if she was our president instead right now.
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
He looks like death warmed over.
What is going on here?
Federal Tax Revenue was $4.9T. Tariffs under $200B year to date. Where did the other $3.0T+ come from? It didn't. It's a lie or dementia, neither good. During a normal presidency, WH staff wouldn't let this bullshit out. They are 100% complicit in attempt to gaslight the American people.
Meanwhile men are murdering their partners and their whole families and regularly committing mass killings. Men are by far the more violent and emotional sex. But sure, ban birth control because it makes women emotional.
Are your energy prices down? Here in Ohio they are way up.
My only demand is the same as it ever was: Vote against the greatest evil.
I also dislike their sound. I had a friend who loved them and I was forced to hear it a lot. Her life has been a mess. Coincidence?
RFK not believing in germs and now being in charge of public health is one of those things that the writers would nix from VEEP for being too outrageous.
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
The level of whining in every Linkin Park song is just so nauseating. "I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it didn't even matter." Are you an angsty preteen? A doom and gloom woe is me and fuck my life "grown up?" If so, this music is for you.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
More name changes afoot… Department of Defense = Department of War Department of Education = Department of Keeping You Stupid Center for Disease Control = Center for Crackpot Conspiracies Department of Agriculture = Department of Subsidies for Farmers going broke from tariffs
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
If it's so easy to win elections, and so easy to pass better policies than the Democrats, then why isn't anybody else doing it? Why aren't we seeing waves of Greens winning elections and passing policy? It's just that easy, isn't it?
I don't see anyone making that demand. I only see people demanding he not be the candidate. Or else.
Jesus, everyone just wanted the kid to be safe. Does every single situation have to be a reason to judge and hate on people. All's well that ends well. Let's celebrate.
the thing about making every minute of your presidency a reality show about you is that people notice when you don’t show up for multiple episodes
These dummies. Everyone knows republicans will always be worse on every issue, but that's not enough for them to want to keep them from power.
Yes they do. People voted for AOC and Trump on the same ballot.
oh, yeah. I've seen this. People get immediately excoriated and insulted. Their motives are assumed to be purely evil.
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
NEW: "Long the envy of the world…the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows….The agency has since January shed literally centuries' worth of collective experience through a combination of firings, retirements, and resignations."
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
Lighting and audio in movies must be addressed. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Well surely the roving gangs will be made of entirely kind, unbiased, friendly lads. Right? Trustworthy.
The media is worthless.
Our TV president is avoiding the TV. Suspicious AF
Newsom responds to Trump’s odd post announcing he is going to bed early
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.
Youth did not save him from being an ugly SOB. No wonder his father hated him.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
is he wearing a cooking pot on his head??
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
This was a problem way back in the 90s. I can just imagine the extent now.
I was thinking about this over early ☕️ this morning. The next 10 years will define the country for a generation. 4-5 SCOTUS justices will likely be dead or retired. The president will likely be dead. 30-40% of Congress will be dead or retired. Voting is crucial in 2026 and 2028. Wake up America.
It's crazy to me that he gets under the skin of leftists even more than MAGAs. They are so mad thinking that he might be the candidate in 28. Meanwhile everyone else is just keeping an open mind and trying to hold on to any hope they can find in the moment. Leftists already talking sabotage.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
A different meaning to thermostatic politics: Ohio Republican Rep. Roy Klopfenstein (R., Haviland) wants to allow utilities in Ohio to remotely set Ohioans' thermostats in their houses.
Tetanus!
Jesus, dude. Get some therapy.
"Stu" at x is sharing videos from the People’s Conference for Palestine in Michigan: Pro-Palies: “We have to destroy the idea of America in our heads, in our neighbors’ heads, in our comrades’ heads..." In other quotes, they admit SJP, JVP are anti-USA, Jew-hating orgs x.com/i/status/196...
"Another picture emerged: that of small businesses being harmed by a president who was elected because of his purported business acumen; of a man whose obsession with appearing tough on crime now threatens to sabotage urban economies across the country."
Ghislaine Maxwell hinted at Epstein’s ties to Trump officials – why wasn’t she pressed for names?
Trump is feeling weak and vulnerable. It's classic.
I dunno man, who is this moving the needle for?
I will look into it but I prefer a local pharmacy which I guess I'm just going to have to get over because it's not going to be an option.
