Yup. It’s a common practice. And one that politicians are hesitant to do without. Last time I checked, making threats and inciting government overthrow aren’t protected speech. @repgaramendi.bsky.social @dorismatsui.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov @gallego.senate.gov @senjackyrosen.govpeeps.us

Frankly, money is probably the primary reason. Fox loves to spread it around to both parties (They also spread money around to pay off court cases and sexual harassment victims).

The Republican Party loves Hitler? I can’t believe it!

Fox News personalities have actually made threats on the air, if I recall properly. Fox does their party a solid by stirring up hatred without any context. And we know Fox News has had many contacts with Russia. @pelosi.house.gov @raskin.house.gov @booker.senate.gov @ericswalwell.bsky.social

Columbus was responsible for numerous atrocities in the New World. His voyages also ushered in a new era of human history. We still live with the good and bad of the Columbian Exchange. With Columbus, we get both light and darkness.

Happened to three of my machines, including my MacBook. Then I got a VPN, but that was a disaster. Someone was able to get around the VPN whenever they wanted. I kept having to reinstall it. I finally gave up.

I heard a small ping sound, and my computer went black. No power, no sound, nothing. It was as dead as the hula hoop.

I neglected to mention three of my computers have received the ping of death, which suggests someone with powerful tools was behind these attacks. My cellphone has been hacked numerous times; once all the fonts were changed to Mandarin. But the only way is forward.

It is a concern, but right now they think they are upholding the Constitution as interpreted by the Trump folks. What if it turns out they aren’t? Would they continue without the force and protection of the law? I don’t think anyone knows.

I agree. In the long run it won’t be a problem. In the long run.

I’ve only been under constant surveillance for some years now. My social media posts are monitored (and sometimes disallowed), and my movements are tracked. Other than that, it’s been easy. 😝

A while back, someone said there were a number of closeted gays in the Republican Party, although the name escapes me. This is also the party that gave us Dennis Hastert as well. Why would you put a pedophile in charge of anything unless you wanted to control him? @reed.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov

Many local Republican politicians have recently been arrested on child-related sex crimes as well. Is someone trying to give us a hint? Also, it seems this ring was outside of the Epstein operation, for a while at least. Yet no one here has seen it. I wonder why? @schiff.senate.gov

To be clear, I have only heard about this film, not seen it. Further, it has not been shown in the U.S. There have been rumors that the GOP has collected blackmail on its own for some time. However, a very sinister picture is starting to develop. @bera.house.gov @warnock.senate.gov

It seems we may find out that this practice has been going on for many years in the U.S. Prepare yourself for some ugly revelations. Many politicians have been arrested for child-related sex crimes already. @markwarner.bsky.social @klobuchar.senate.gov @gallego.senate.gov @jasmineforus.bsky.social

All of this seems a bit performative. Any Federal Judge can swear in Rep. Grijalva. Do it and put more pressure on Johnson. @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @repilhan.bsky.social @pressley.house.gov @algreen.house.gov @raskin.house.gov @repgaramendi.bsky.social

There is apparently a British documentary film that claims the GOP has ran a sexual blackmail ring involving children for many years. If true, some ugly facts are about to confront the American people. @wyden.senate.gov @senjackyrosen.govpeeps.us @murray.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov

As odd as it seems, many Intelligence Agencies seem to have lost sight of what Russia was doing for a number of years. This may be related to the possibility that Counterintelligence may have been infiltrated by Russia. @schiff.senate.gov @pelosi.house.gov @dorismatsui.bsky.social @bera.house.gov

I mention the Bolsheviks simply because they realized that you didn’t need to control everything, you
need to control a few strategic locations in order to assume power. Power stations, media outlets, etc.

JB95842.bsky.social @jb95842.bsky.social · 1d

Read about the tactics used by the Bolsheviks in 1917. (If the public were made aware of the details of Trump’s rise to high office, his administration would collapse, provided the military obeys the Constitution).

Military strength isn’t everything. Truth still has enormous power.

It is a possibility, but I don’t think it inevitable. Taking control of media systems is essential.

Trump’s relationship to Putin may carry echoes of Trump’s relationship with his father. He is drawn to authoritarian personalities. @crockett.house.gov @reptedlieu.bsky.social @pressley.house.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social
