After 100 days of P47, I will be dramatically scaling back my nightly updates. I knew we would have lots of activity from P47, but the daily flood is too much to continue at the rate I've been keeping.

Have you *ever* seen GOPers taken sensible actions?

Didn't think so... 🤷‍♀️

Roman Smith @romansmith.bsky.social · 12h

Oh, GOPers will congratulate him ☹️

Roman Smith @romansmith.bsky.social · 12h

I understand 😀

Should you ever get the chance, i would hope you would take advantage, and make sure you make up for non-opportunities in the past 👍

George has been getting plaudits ever since, sheesh, wish it would happen more often

JB always sounds good, IMO 🤷‍♀️

Grace, I agree: health, and it ain't changing ☹️

Katie, that describes what they (should) do for others, vs what they do for themselves to be successful leaders

Wish Dems weren't alone when it comes to health for others, and accountability for themselves (GOPers only do accountability for others) 🤦‍♀️

And Lawrence just now came on, I missed the first showing, show repeat coming on now...yup, he's talking about it now

I glimpsed over the article, recall seeing at least one or two references to, 'gee, if they saw the way we talk on here...' 🙄

Bernie, I think we'd all like to see full release of The Epstein Files 👍

Roman Smith @romansmith.bsky.social · 14h

Surprising they put some of those things into a chat like that, have they never heard of things leaking or getting hacked? 🤔

Roman Smith @romansmith.bsky.social · 14h

I panic every time I see P47's face ☹️

We all remember Kellyanne Conway going on TV to shill for Ivanka's shoes, and the 2020 RNC convention being held at the White House. Illegal, to be sure, but P47's DOJ won't do anything. Now Kristi Noem is taking over airport media, just like a fascist

I can't disagree with any of that, Pamela 🤷‍♀️

Hey Spindle, I like the dress, thx 👍

Also like the two girls above, the pic packs an awful lot of emotion

Roman Smith @romansmith.bsky.social · 15h

It is easy, and that's precisely why the scummy GOP loathes it
