Old school. Artist. Skeptic. Dog mom. Into vintage sci-fi, fixing stuff, physics that I mostly don’t understand, kind people, blue morning glories, and good pie.

He just thinks of the White House as one of his properties. He’s a real estate developer and a hotel/resort owner. He’s just doing his thing- “improving” one of his properties to make it more glitzy and to impress dignitaries.

No dignity. No class. Crude and coarse. I know he calls his supporters “basement dwellers”, but he’s really not any more sophisticated than the dumbest of them.

It’s kind of sweet- so questionable in Mac and cheese!

He is the stooge. The front man. Being used by the many in power who have put him here 1), to enrich them further, 2), to give them even more power, and 3), to be the lightning rod that attracts all the hate, while they hide in the background.

Haha! So, if i recall, 'Chili Sauce' was a condiment somewhere between catsup and hot sauce. It was chunky, and just a little bit spicy. Not sure if they make it anymore. NOT the same as hot sauce, which is what we called Tabasco, which was pretty much the only hot sauce at the time.

GOOD MORNING,

Senator Jeff Merkley is 13 hours into holding the Senate floor. Open the live stream on every device and support this 68yo man as he makes a stand for his state and our democracy. These stunts MATTER. Especially as they build in numbers and chip away at the false pretence of normalcy.

Promote the best things about your candidate relentlessly, try not to get caught up in cynicism and sarcasm, and talking about what “they” are doing. Talk up your guy with enthusiasm, to as many people as you can, with specifics about why you support him, and be respectful. The path to victory.

This is a blatant attempt to appeal to ageism and dissuade younger people from participating. Imply that the protests are by groups they least want to be like (seniors, middle aged women). Don’t take the bait.

What’s next after No Kings Day? What should we do now? How do we use our collective power? I have a dozen simple ideas for next steps. And I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-can-we-do-now

Or someone who believes it is one of his properties that he can demolish if he so chooses. I don’t know that this man has any sense of the sanctity of the building in which he resides, or the dignity required of the role of President. It’s all one big tacky celebrity/resort mogul play act for him.

Adam Smith if he were still alive could kiss my ass.

Or just bring in the big machines and do it all in a day. Everyone would stand around wringing their hands. Like, I really think NO ONE would step in and stop it.

Oh all the voters who refused to check the box for Hilary- this SC is on you. Thanks for nothing.

It’s a “Trump property” in his mind- just another resort to remodel.

The Mariners would not have gone anyway. Thier fans would disown them. It's SEATTLE ffs.

In Essence @blueskykate101.bsky.social · 1d

I shake my head when people say, "He (they) can't do that!". As in, the Constitution or some rulebook for how the government works is ignored completely. OF COURSE HE CAN DO THAT. Over and over! The only way "he can't do that" is if someone is willing to stop him, which apparently no-one is.

Lots of VERY VERY SAD fans today. Like, devastated. We'll heal eventually, but crushed right now.
