American priorities appear bizarre…guns & military above health & equality. Citizens have guns they don’t really need; the military exhausts the budget; health care is nonexistent for many; the rich get obscenely richer; & now the oligarchs are in charge. The slowly unfolding great American tragedy😢

Praying for a reasonable result…what’s with Kavansugh’s myopic dream that there’s no racism in America anymore, while TACO’s out there rounding up pof color?!? FFS!!

“care about kids”?!?

Seriously, how’s that even discussed? Cf…

Sandy Hook…& more since…no-one’s remotely close to America for school shootings…& American children routinely do “active shooter” drills…WTAF?!?

Epstein!?!?!?

Very happy my grandchildren are growing up in Australia

China’s global exports are booming..,happily filling the gaps behind TACO’s commercial stupidity and moral turpitude

MAGA is a gift to China, far better than anything they could’ve achieved on their own

These are so disgusting that I fact-checked them all…mostly dated just before TACO’s first rise…but all accurate quotes…no words can answer this 💩 🤬

OMG…there seems to be a bottomless pit full of these sleazy excuses for humans…& MAGA seems to be their happy place!😩🤬

yes, they will; they’re lost, in every sense and especially morally…but their numbers are small IF more Americans could be bothered to vote! 😩🤬

…not if they seek their news from Faux News; over there TACO’s doing a spectacular job & all the problems are because of the “radical left”…& we need to always keep that alternative world in mind when thinking about them

Let’s not forget such killings are completely counterproductive to law enforcement…even if the boats are actually smuggling drugs; they clearly could be seized, but destroying them destroys evidence that certainly would assist in identifying the source and the leaders

The killings are pure theatre🤬

Tess Bridgeman @tessbridgeman.bsky.social · 14h

The President is announcing more extrajudicial killings today.

A reminder that the administration has provided no limiting principles and these killings are completely untethered from the law (there was no "armed attack," there's no "armed conflict," and these aren't "unlawful combatants").

MAGA seems to be a bottomless pit of the worst of humanity…who knew there was so many of these f—r’s?!?

…but they clearly feel at home with MAGA 😩🤬

…& let’s not forget such killings are completely counterproductive to law enforcement…even if the boats are actually smuggling drugs, destroying them destroys evidence that almost certainly would assist in identifying the source and the leaders

The killings are pure theatre, playing the tough guy🤬

saltydon.bsky.social @saltydon.bsky.social · 9h

Well done…we all need to laugh!😂😩

GREER: China overstepped

CHINA: Our global exports are rising strongly, up 8% last month. We’re happily filling the vacuum, both commercially and morally, that you left behind.

Gotta enjoy Gavin Newsom’s take…

…& they wonder why people compare them to Hitler’s Brown Shirts and Gestapo

Masks are inherently inconsistent with law enforcement, at least where laws are supposed to represent the will of the people to be governed

We are witnessing the unfolding great American tragedy 😢

TACO will pardon Maxwell

Pardon was prob’ly the backstop to her SCOTUS appeal in the Blanche bargain for her spinning TACO’s Epstein story…appeal’s failed…it’s pardon time

…& TACO’s drunk w/power…increasingly senile…terrified of Epstein exposure…he won’t care about blowback…

BUT WE SHOULD CARE!🤜🤛

With the Nobel off the table for another year, TACO’s interest will move on…to the next item that fills his only 3 motivations:

-anything he thinks will make him look good;
-anything he thinks will make him richer; &
-vengeance on anyone he thinks doesn’t like him

Nothing else matters to him
