It is funny the ones that are complaining the most. Sorta puts the answer to the question as to who was involved on j6

As one who is in her district she certainly has gone over the edge. A slow but steady loss of her emotions. I just hate the fact that she got in bc of gerrymandering. But the rural Rs still love her

I'm waiting for some reported to say "F-you Trump, you big bag of shit." then resign from what ever company he/she was in.

Are ex generals / admirals bound by some NDA / top secret world that they can't talk?

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 16h

Elections yes, presidency yes, he thinks. He will do a J6 on steroids holding on to his beloved ballroom until he dies.

So... Trump may, may have made a deal that get us back to the level before he cratered it. Art of Deal, my ass

Please just go to the country that you love Russia.

Ha Gemini where I was doing some image changes thought my photo from my youth... rejected a old b&w photo of me playing baseball and a photo of me about 25 years old hiking. Guess I should be happy that they think in the hiking photo I'm under 18.

Maybe if he goes to Canada they can arrest him for "crimes against Canada" I'm really tired of CNN et. al interviewing this guy. What real news would they get other than the same old lies and hate.

I would give the walkout 5 days to get a resolution. We need something that will force the Republicans to act.

What else?

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 22h

Government still shut down for, I think, over 30 days. You know what would get the Rs to re-open the government: Have all the air traffic controllers walk out. No air traffic, None. No Kash flying a private jet to see his girlfriend. Congress struck where they are short of long car travel.

No actually he will flee to Mar-a-largo with his other buddy.

Health care for senior means not having to drive 200 miles to get to some heart doctors... Rural hospitals will be closing.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 1d

Notice that they said Seniors. They don't need abortions , unless some interesting stuff going on. However their kids or grand kid might. Still this type of review really sucks.

Not sure that the parameters they used would fit most peoples idea of perfect.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 1d

Not sure he alone invented the web, There were plenty of other "internet" like technology before and of course the entire backbone that allows communication between parties.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 1d

Nope.. Harrison was a Dem leader who did nothing. Everyone is always claiming Dems are not working. I guess one needs to be a anti-democracy party to get unity. No thanks.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 1d

Or Tell the truth about policies or completely lie, the republican way.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 1d

They don't care. Email marketing is mass overkill. Some few will respond, other like you scratch their head and ask why. It is far more cost effective just to take a full list rather than spend the time to narrow it down.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 1d

283 Days that major Dem/other figures have not spoken out against MAGA and Trump since Trump took office

Where are the voices to push back Trump:
Garland, Antony Blinken, Janet Yellen, Deb Haaland, Gina Raimondo, Miguel Cardona, President Bush and many, many others. We need their voices.

What would they have done in the covid years... rip their mask off? I guess everyone these days just ware a mask in the streets.

He was reading his bible. You know the one that guides him rather than our constitution. It tell him not to lie... sure Right.

Did you see the story about the kid who got handcuffed in school by cops who were alerted by some AI security program that thought his bag of chips was a gun. So they rushed to school and the kid like it was a mass shooting. AI is not the answer.... It may be the problem

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 2d

Maybe a question of "what news channel do you watch, or None" would also put context into the answer you get with opinions. The real problem is the world of polling and pollsters have not yet caught up the fact that MAGA has caused the great divide and how to properly form Qs in that light.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 2d

So.... you want to bring back the anti-black, immigrant voting rules. I think not. Besides I have plenty of post college education, read a lot, but I do not know the actual inflation rate... I could guess but what the point?
