My first Sky Writing!

I'm hoping to find a fun, kinder social media. I love cats, hockey (Vancouver Canucks & PWHL), my home country (🇺🇸), my adopted country (🇨🇦), my wife (who suggested this app), and people treating each other with basic human decency and respect.

Trump apparently thinks the Department of Justice owes him reparations to the tune of $230 million — for the crime of investigating him. Trump has filed claims demanding compensation for what he calls government overreach in multiple criminal probes.

People assume donations to a political campaign mean companies and wealthy people want something in return but many are acting like these MUCH larger "donations" to the president's harmful vanity project that will only ever benefit the ultra wealthy are somehow anything other than open BRIBERY.

Why does everyone keep saying "privately funded" as if it's not actually funded by blatant corruption?!

It's not "privately funded," it's funded (even assuming we can trust their claim that they're not using tax $) by the ultra wealthy paying for MORE presidential access and government favor.

They literally got mad about minor redecorating.

There is no depth to their hypocrisy.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. Now he's literally taking a bulldozer to the White House to build a ballroom while the government is shut down. When we say "No Kings," this is why.

“Rather than AI being able to enhance human innovation, critical thinking, the progress of science—it’s being used to exploit our insecurities. That’s the thing about so many of these Silicon Valley tech bros. They’re essentially emotionally maladapted psychopaths.”

Speaking nothing but the truth.

That actually kind of blows my mind because he always has such big "I wanna be a big, bad Nazi when I grow up" energy.

I literally can't imagine seeing him in any other way.

Hard2BGreene @hard2bgreene.bsky.social · 1d

That's MAGA right there.

They have convinced themselves that they ARE the only "real" patriots and that American symbols, and the American government, should belong to them alone.

That's a huge part of why it was important people displayed their actual patriotism at the No Kings marches.

Hard2BGreene @hard2bgreene.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, because one held him accountable like anyone else would be while the other pumped up his perpetually fragile ego.

Trump, and those using/handling him, want to replace actual law and order with their personal feelings. They can do no wrong while anyone who opposes them is always wrong.

Because it's emblematic of his entire presidency.

First he lied and said he wouldn't alter the White House.

Now he's literally tearing down part of it with complete disregard for anything except his own ego.

And for what? So the ultra wealthy can have another way to pay to access power.
