agree.

Except I always wish that the images of Don were less flattering. Exposing his girth, his stiffness, his unblended makeup. I prefer his hair not to be so shiny - that is a ridiculous coif he sports & it deserves constant mocking.

This guy is an incompetent boob. <---understatement, I know.

He acts as if he's just learning things which we've known or seen or understood from the git.

It was a discarded laptop & there was no chain of custody.

Tell me, what does the law say about that sort of "evidence?"

Also? There was no Russian hoax. Russia did interfere with the 2016 election. Know how we know this? Russia admitted it.

Be off, now. You are beyond tedious.

It reminds me of the "we can finally say "Merry Christmas!" rants - even from this POTUS.

Such martyrs! The right wing aligns themselves with persecuted Christians in the catacombs - while erasing/ignoring real American atrocities like slavery or internment camps or reservations.

Name calling?

Have you heard of Donald Trump?

#smdh at the brazen hypocrisy & ignorance. Face yourself, look in the mirror.

There is this thing called "Reality" which seems to elude you.

When the FBI or DOJ makes an accusation, they back it up with video + audio + paper trails + legal precedent. They aren't supposed to take action without (Checks notes) PROBABLE CAUSE.

Innocent until proven guilty or "Lock him up!?"

Carry on. You know that people can see your rants & postings, right? Do carry on. You obvs can't keep calm or maintain a coherent argument that aligns with any American legal traditions or logic. Continue being an example of #Deplorable.

No agents, cupcake. AGENCIES.

I can name all 17 - including the intelligence gathering arms of the Marines, Army & Navy. Do you think that all those analysts in all 17 *INTELLIGENCE gathering agencies* were duped?

Or were you?

30% higher tariffs on furniture & bathroom fixtures coming into the country too.

How does he not get that AMERICANS will be paying these higher prices at a time when the jobs market . . . the jobs market . . . well, those #s won't be reported, will they?

Follow the money.

Homan said that bag-o-cash was perfectly legal. You can't say that there are no recordings just because Kash & tRump don't want the recordings released. Prove THAT negative.

So he declared that $50K on his taxes? Or gave it back?

There is a money trail.

FishGottaSwim @fishgot2swim.bsky.social · 25d

OMFG

Why did tRUmp fire Comey? Seriously. Look it up. Educate yourself. tRump fired Comey for comments he made about the HRC investigation by announcing a conclusion without consulting the Justice Department.

17 US Intelligence gathering agencies concluded that Russia interfered -no hoax.

Misdemeanor bookkeeping entries? Like that global financial collapse under W? Like Trump U fraud or Trump Org defrauding CHARITIES & inflating its worth for tax evasion purposes?

Kangaroo court? The *people* found him guilty

You have been so very #CarefullyTaught & #DeliberatelyMisinformed

FishGottaSwim @fishgot2swim.bsky.social · 25d

& if you disagree w/any of these statements you are part of the deranged haters of Trump & an enemy of the state. If you dare ask a question about the numbers spewed as success then you are a FAKE reporter & your network is a loser.

Questions are not attacks. #QuestionAuthority Demand proof.

Tommy, this is the MAGA way to MAGA & MAHA.

No knowledge, no expertise or competence or scientific basis - just gut feelings, talking points, a "Brawndo has electrolytes" carefully taught base & a complicit SCOTUS, Congress & media. That's a*great* America?

It happened & they all let it happen.

Not sure if the worst part of this is suggesting that Freddy's heavenly band mate would be Charlie Kirk or that they killed off the very much alive Brian May.🙄

#Deplorable.

#QuestionAuthority & the talking points.

And worry about the organizations & corporations that sacrifice individuals & their 1a rights & jobs because we live in a time where the powerful are also the petty.

Surprising to me was when Republicans in Texas & other states were asked about gerrymandering - they said it was unfair. But then a follow-up question was asked "what if it was favorable to Republican candidates?" & they were all in happy about it, loving liberal tears. It's/They're un-American.

This is freaking deplorable. THEY are freaking deplorable.

This isn't about free speech - these are people whose jobs it is to uphold the laws of the state & nation - how can they do that job when they fundamentally (accent on mentally) disagree w/our Constitution. For tRump. #smdh.

Watergate amplified how we should #FollowTheMoney

In the age of social media & lightning fast & deplorable (deliberate?) misinformation - we need to #FollowTheLies

1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC 20500 is Lie Central.

Shame on the MAGAsphere for pushing Brawndo on us because electrolytes.

tRump flexing his 'power' muscles with that flyover was . . . ooof. When he threatened (allegedly) the underage girls before, he used his wealth as a cudgel against them.

What sort of guy tries to silence victims? A guilty one.

I can't care about his base base anymore. Ignoranting MAGAts.
