70-something woman who expected we'd have everything worked out by now. Life is about kids, grandkids, dogs, cats, living in beauty and creating beauty in a small spot on the planet.

We need to be wary of disruptors. Walk right on by.

His website says you can order a flag from his office. I wonder if he means this one.

These are not kids. Must be 30-something. No boys-will-be-boys pass for them. At what age do you age out of the YRs?

They just can't believe there are Americans genuinely concerned about people being disappeared off the streets, the poorest among us losing healthcare, premiums doubling or more for those on ACA, and most of all a president who acts like a dictator and follows no law. I oppose fascists. I am antifa.

This rally has them truly scared. Look how they are characterizing it. You'd better believe they will have instigators in the crowds.

Absolutely false. Name the persons not sworn in.

beckyann47.bsky.social @beckyann47.bsky.social · 8h

You speak with authority wrapped in ignorance. Please tell us precise differences between Republic and Democracy and explain how we are one but not the other. I don't think you know anything about the E files. That's a lie about Pelose and Schumer. Name the persons not sworn in.

That is an outright lie about Pelosi and Schumer--never happened. The senate could change the rules, vote for cloture, and pass the CR with no Dem votes. Rs could end this.

Refusing to swear her in denies her constituents the representation they voted for. The Speaker has no right to prevent her from assuming the duties of her office

Does this mean they'll give you the records?

This is a distraction from his big crypto business profiting off the presidency

Telling us not to believe what our own eyes see and our own ears hear. Very 1984. He's the least deserving of anyone on the planet. He could make lives better, but hIs decisions have destroyed lives and families, created fear and chaos. He uses military force to force people to bend to his will.

Every accusation is a confession.

Everything now is pointing to dementia and rapid decline. It surprises me that people talk about his statements as if those words came out of a coherent person's mouth. At some point we have to stop trying to make sense of the crazy and just call it what it is.

Maybe it was a mistake to bail out Argentina, enabling them to sell soy beans to China at a better price than American farmers. But now we'll double charge American taxpayers and bail out the farmers, too. That's such amazing economic policy, Bessent.

This renewed interest in his place (or not) in heaven so soon after his "annual checkup," makes me think he may not have had such good checkup results as the doctor reported, and he may realize the Epstein files are inevitably coming out and what we'll learn is unforgivable.

I'm here for the thoughts first, but the vocabulary is a bonus treat.

And don't put up with that technique where they attack the questioner personally when they don't want to answer the question. That should confirm you asked the right question.

I noticed that, too. Probably shaky hands. Had to keep widening the line to get it even.

Trebuchet unexpectedly used in a contemporary context. I love the implied visuals--it made me laugh! And well done Stephanopoulos

I trust local precinct workers for the most part. But I don't trust the corporations. The tech bros are going to want to get their hands on these machines.

This worries me a lot. We know they're willing to cheat to win.
