Had been trying to leave the xitter for awhile. Tip: Just delete the app and close the tab.

Not too long ago that the GOP got the vapors when Bill Clinton met the AG on a plane for a few minutes. Now I guess it's okay for the president to directly control the DOJ and have them arrest his enemies. Thanks, MAGA.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Trump and the GOP: inspiring us all to be the worst we can be.

NYT headline says Trump "shattering norms" re: Comey. How about ditching that phrase forever and instead pointing out how ridiculously unethical his corruption of DOJ is?

He deployed the national guard to evict the homeless but not the insurrectionists.

Let's keep pointing out that given recent events, Trump certainly could've called out the National Guard on 1/6/2021. Or he has no qualms doing so when it suits his purposes, and ending the riot on 1/6 did not suit his purposes.

All right, what the heck is going on here that the Fellowship of the Ring movie came out almost 25 years ago.

Sorry for the non-political post, but Mel B is an unpleasant judge on on AGT.

I'm not going to watch, of course, but how are Fox News and other such networks covering the protests?

There's a lot that's been said about the Noem incident, but as if we needed further proof that they're heavy-handed thugs at best, there was no apology or admission of any sort of error regarding Padilla's treatment. Horrible people with lousy values.

What a painful, stupid interview where trump is insisting that the guy in El Salvador has ms-13 tattoos. How does anyone defend this moron. So embarrassing.

Finally uninstalled the xitter app from my phone. Should've done it long ago.

@realtimers.bsky.social When you host people like Kellyanne Conway or Byron Donalds, you are driving away a good chunk of your audience. I'm fine with principled conservatives (a dying breed, apparently), but these hacks don't cut it.

What seems clear now is that we should've been pushing back harder against the anti-government propaganda that the right has been pushing for decades.

I haven't left the xitter entirely and still check in now and then. Current big topic is cozying up to Putin, and the number of comments there that are pro-Putin is disgusting. Hateful, illogical, childish stuff. Hopefully all Russian AI bots.

Barely watching the game, but these Fox news ads are gross.

I remember fondly when things were kind of boring under Democrats and I didn't have to worry about the end of the country every day and could just live my boring little life.

I don't mean to sound paranoid, but is anyone reconsidering travel plans that involve flying what with Trump taking a sledgehammer to everything?

In the current big picture it's actually a minor thing (flooding is their strategy), but really, Google is going to show Gulf of America in Maps? Come on, Google. Pathetic.

I'm sure a billion other people are posting the same, but could there be a more stark contrast between Carter and Trump as human beings? A lot of people should be ashamed about their recent vote.

Seems recent events (elections, say) have proven that many of us are. Doesn't bode well for the future of the human race.

I watched the fight. I was predisposed to not like Paul, though I don't know much about him. He was respectful, though. His brother came across as a prick.
In the end, it lived up to "exhibition", which is probably for the best.
