🇺🇦 I see my background as less important than how it brings me to this fight. I'm American/Irish, pretty well-traveled, happily married, a dog lover (currently w/4 rescued dawgs), born in Seattle, lived all over, currently WA state, and very progressive.

Hmmmmm....Pedophilius Cockwomble......sounds like a character from a Dickens novel!

But it IS a technically correct name.

He's the worst and such an embarrassment to this great state. I cannot fathom how he keeps getting voted in except that Republican voters must legitimately be insane. They will literally vote for a pile of manure as long as it's a Republican pile of manure.

Don't wait for others to validate what you know is true. These facts are self-evident, as are the solutions. The only thing lacking is the will among the right people to take care of our problem.

As Pedophilius "leaves the board," we approach an inflection point. We must be ready for what's coming!

I daresay Pedophilius' days are numbered. He's circling the bowl, & his entire cadre along w/him.

As a nation we MUST NOT follow him!

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

Rafael Edward Cruz is the MOST HATED US SENATOR, BY THE OTHER SENATORS!

He's a living testament to the power of incumbency, & to the irrelevance of character in GQP politics in Texas.

I cannot understand, for the life of me, how anyone could vote for him on HIS merits.

He goes along to get along.

I do not like his smarmy grin
I do not like his lying whine
I do not like his jelly spine
I do not like him, not one bit

This will not end well for Blondi. Facts & evidence are easily in Smith's favor &, though I imagine she'd rather not think about it, she'll need to convince a jury, but neither she nor any of her remaining attorneys can really cut the mustard.

It oughta be fun to watch!

Harry Litman @harrylitman.bsky.social · 11h

Contrast Smith's calm composure with Bondi’s histrionics at the oversight hearing. If you played both tapes side by side with the sound off, it would be apparent who was telling it straight and who wasn’t

Hmmm.....yet another parallel w/Hitler & his "thousand-year reich!"

He also had obscenely grandiose plans to turn his capital in Berlin into, basically, a grossly overbuilt monument to....himself!

All I can think is that these skulking toadies feel so comfortable & safe behind Pedophilius that they're crawling out from under their rocks & walking around uncamouflaged. We see them clearly for who, & WHAT they are....indisputably!

And we will not forget them after he's gone.

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

Cuchulainn @cuchulainn999.bsky.social · 11h

Yes, it TERRIFIES Pedophilius. It's a bad look that embarrasses him in the eyes of the world, & it is indicative of dissent, something he simply cannot abide!

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1d

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Cuchulainn @cuchulainn999.bsky.social · 11h

Why give Pedophilius & his MAGAT pugs our TAX revenue, just for them either to keep it for their agenda or give it away to billionaires as TAX cuts?!

He provocatively STATES that blue state funds WILL be withheld!

It'll hurt a bit but, these days, WHAT DOESN'T?!
