A secure grid would require many options to make that possible.

Embrace the suck, Warsaw.

Interesting….you mean these people are working, paying taxes (even if via phony SSNs), and fueling the economy…? I thought they were just on the government dole.

That’s great - glad he’s going with style and love. I took my Chloe to her favorite lake for one last swim as she reached her final days. Miss you so much, girl.

We’ve gone from ‘locker room talk’ to ‘college group chat’ so seamlessly and it’s still received with shrugs.

No pyrotechnics this time….? How disappointing.

Seems to be going well……🙄

You’d think the $787M settlement with Dominion would have them tamping this kinda shit down.

He mentioned earlier today Pelosi waited 25 days before Letlow was sworn in, so he’ll be a petulant child and wait until at least next week.

I really hope they put that on a teleprompter for him so we can hear that loutish clod advise people to ‘reh-meh-grate.’

EC @prairiecrab.bsky.social · 14h

He really hates if the subject matter isn’t about him - which is also why he had to crassly bring up his bullet dodging skills.

Oddly, these are the very same hypocrites who harangue others for even having explicit material that may be released.

They didn’t really need to go into a deep dive with private messaging, when you can see stuff like this on the regular at Xitter - especially after Musk went all in with Christian Nationalist MAGA support. Have we already forgotten Grok referred to itself as MechaHitler a few months ago…?

Sure is a pretty thin margin in those toss up states he pulled this time. Some mandate. 🤔

If you’re among those that believe in divine intervention, you now definitively know which forces intervened on this bastard’s behalf.

Trump dumped these farmers’ water. They’d rather not talk about it.

President Donald Trump followed through on his promise to unleash California’s water — only the water he released belonged to the very farmers he’d promised to help.

“They are loving it like they have not loved a lot of things.”

This oration is some next level shit. It’s almost like if Demosthenes made a McDonald’s tagline.

I want to see him rolled like this in a massive blue wave of defeat.

Republicans would just try to ask him yes/no questions, anyway. They really don’t want him to elaborate on things.
