Hypocrisy on Massive Steroids: While t***p pardons/commutes another fellow Republican convicted criminal and young republicans write slurs, attorney general Pam Bondi and vice president Vance emphatically denounce Americans who are exercising their constitutional rights, and vow to prosecute them.

Hypocrisy on steroids. WH issues executive order designating antifa as a terrorist entity that exists only in spirit when regular, decent Americans who don’t want what the t***p administration is ramming down their throats, gather peacefully to publicly petition their government, to stop it, NOW.

Umm, we all know this X post was not written by t***p, it makes too much sense and doesn’t have the minimum required number of CAPITAL LETTERS. Possible author? Steven Miller? Anyway, pretty sure t***p’s next move will be to nominate Miller for the 2026 Nobel Award for nonfiction literature. Woo ha!

To every Republican who financially or otherwise supports/supported Santos, t***p, et al: This is the price you have to pay, for a short period of time, while waiting for prices to go down, wars to end, own the libs, etc. Aren’t you excited that, eventually, American will be great again?!? Woohoo!!

T***p has pardoned or commuted the sentences of so many people who have committed crimes against other Americans that I have lost count. If I were contemplating harming someone else, physically, financially or otherwise,this lack of accountability would surely embolden me to take my chances and act.

Hey, aren’t the people here on BlueSky against racial, homophobic, sexist, religious and ethnic slurs? Judging someone you don’t like or agree with, based on the color of their skin, their gender, their sexuality, the faith they believe or the language they speak? Don’t do that to overweight folks!

Love Paul Simon and his fantastic music!!

Have you seen the suppressed 1991 documentary about t***p’s business dealings in the 1980s and 1990s? It is called “T***p: What’s the Deal?” and was released online in 2015 with the tagline “The Old T***p. The New T***p. The Same T***p.” Is his “peace deal” just another con meant to make more money?

If this is true, what intelligence data are they using to determine who they are going after and where these alleged “worst of the worst” illegal immigrants are currently located? WTF. Nobody is safe from these jackbooted thugs. I hope my apartment door holds firm when I need it to.

All the top National Guard Generals and Commanding Officers, their descending chain of command, and top Non Commissioned Officers down to the newest Private currently in uniform who are strolling through civilian neighborhoods carrying loaded weapons know they are acting on illegal orders.

He’s a toddler who stole his parent’s American Express gold card (aka taxpayer dollars), and after spending several hours in Sugarfina buying candy (aka new White House Ballroom), left, heading toward FAO Schwarz to shop for some new toys (aka $400 million dollar “gift” luxury jumbo jet from Qatar).

My opinion is that, as a twice impeached president who incited a violent, weapon wielding mob to attack the U.S. Capitol to prevent the vote certification of president elect Biden on January 6, 2021, t***p was not eligible to run for any position in the federal government in 2024. Nobody heard me!

ADHD here. I would read the Encyclopedia Britannica. There were tons of interesting pieces of information in those volumes!

I liked that you called out the body shamers. I, too, was in the military from 75 to 90 and left after 16 years of punitive, judgmental and cruel treatment because of my weight. Never mind my outstanding job performance and passing score on the yearly fitness test. Nothing mattered but the # of lbs.

Those goll-dang new laws that you don’t know about (because they don’t exist) are always popping up to cause older laws abiding citizens trouble with law enforcement personnel. If it ain’t one thing, it’s another!

I’ll give y’all the bad news first. The commanders of the California National Guard and Marine Corps that Trump ordered to deploy onto the streets and neighborhoods of Los Angeles on June 7, 2025, to deal with the alleged rioting and looting by peaceful protesters? They all obeyed his illegal order.

She is happy and healthy and takes Gabapentin every day for the slight discomfort she may feel. She’s just very stocky, as my grandmother would say. Okay, she’s a rolly polly butterball and ever so soft and cuddly!

My 1 yo fluffy female tabby of many colors is shaped like a football. A dog tried to kill her at 2 1/2 weeks and put her completely in his mouth and bit down hard enough to poke a fang into her abdomen that resulted in a hernia. We think it moved some organs out of place and damaged her lower spine.

I refuse to be even marginally included in the population of Americans who support t***p and his ever increasing reign of terror. Those of us who are in opposition to the current administration ARE greater in number than his sycophants and MAGA cultists. Too many just didn’t show up to vote in 2024.

sinistral1.bsky.social @sinistral1.bsky.social · 10d

This must be when t***p started really hating strong, intelligent women who challenge his genius on all subjects under the sun. Why didn’t the Democrats drive the streets of every American city, town and village with a loudspeaker blasting this conversation for all to hear?! She didn’t hold back!!

Diverting our outrage over the step by step destruction of our democracy, our civil society, our common decency toward ALL fellow human beings and our actual continuing existence is not at all helpful to our situation. The Israeli genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza is a horrible tragedy, too. Ok?

Trump, MAGA cult members and every Republican alive continue to blame Biden as justification for their evil deeds. His administration, his agenda, the legislation he signed into law, his son, his Vice President, his age, everything he did or didn’t do while he was the President. That horse is dead!

Oh great! Now that song will be on a continual audio loop in my head this evening. Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 forever!

I’m not sure what a bassoon looks like, or what it sounds like, but your description of how your soul was stirred by this musical instrument and your determination to play it is inspiring. I believe all forms of art are divine missives from God, but especially so is music in all its glorious forms.

Hear Here! If you assume that anyone who is overweight can’t possibly get a score of 300 points on the military physical fitness test, then you are a practicing Eugenicist. Hitler used this theory to justify the Holocaust. Physical attributes are not necessarily an indicator of physical ability.
