I’ll say it again: we can waste money on live-fire exercises to please the Mad MAGA King, while our military stand in lines at food banks to feed their families.

That’s SO America first, huh?

Folks…it’s comedy. Pointed comedy but still comedy.

But I’m sure George appreciates all your other offerings.

Peter Lion @peterlion.bsky.social · 5h

Absolutely.

And EVERYONE should post pics and videos from wherever they are to show the numbers and how widespread this is.

Don’t let the gelded GOP try to control the narrative.

Add it to the list of things to be outraged about that this administration gets away with.

Ace Reporter Journo Jake doing his best to hawk his pulp while a demented pedophile rapist sits in the Oval Office as a prop for the ghost government pulling the levers.

Good job.

He probably thinks it just “gas chamber” talk. No biggie.

Be smart. Be peaceful. Report suspicious activity and remember they *need* to change the narrative, so nothing is beneath them.

For a guy that’s second in line for the presidency, he sure seems to not know a lot about what’s happening in the U.S.

Peter Lion @peterlion.bsky.social · 1d

Agreed. I only wish he fell harder.

Peter Lion @peterlion.bsky.social · 1d

There are A LOT of REPUBLICANS who will have much to answer for when this is over.

Peter Lion @peterlion.bsky.social · 1d

Peter Lion @peterlion.bsky.social · 1d

Just curious: when Maduro capitulates, who would take over?

Would it be recent Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado Parisca?

Get your facts straight before posting misleading information. Also read the room.

Until then, stay TF Off my time line.

Listening to radio news either terrestrial or satellite, it’s clear by the ads that we’re a society of overweight, tax delinquent, time-share trapped, people with out-of-warranty automobiles who are in need of life insurance, ED meds, bladder control and memory stimulants.
