Oh completely agreed. After my 40th account ban, I looked around the site and it was just 95% Nazi shit and I was like "I don't want to do this anymore," and fully moved over to Bluesky. None of them are perfect, but I have a nice group of fellow leftists over there, and the block button is powerful enough that it gets rid of sealions and assholes before they get more than a word in edgewise.
You're still here and I guarantee any response we give you doesn't require thought, but is still 50x more intelligent than what we're responding to. And it's "who'll".
I can't imagine that the mess of sycophants and toadies he's going to appoint to the cabinet (Nikki Haley already got rejected) will ever invoke the 25th. But when his dementia gets to the point where he just spends all day staring at the TV, throwing food and crapping his pants, I assume they'll Edith Wilson the fuck out of that shit.
Even before the idiot boy put me on ignore, I'd largely stopped paying attention to Twitter. If he had the intellectual capabilities of a goldfish (the cracker kind, not the carp kind), he'd have realized this. But he's got one note that he thinks he can hit with, so he'll keep blowing it, not realizing that it just cements the idea that he's a fuckstick in everyone else's head.

Mike Waltz for National Security Advisor: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/11/mike-waltz-national-security-adviser-trump-00188923 While he's a right-wing asshole who thinks "woke" is the source of all evil, he also doesn't appear to have a hard-on for letting Putin annex all of eastern Europe. So, small favors?
This one I am actually almost thankful for. We could have had SoS MTG, or Laura Loomer, or Ted Cruz. Marco is pretty good in a relative sense. I am waiting for AG Habibababa or whatever the fuck his fail attorney's name is.
Rubio is up for re-election in 2028. For Florida repugs it is a great time to put him in the administration and then have Descumbag appoint someone who will gain name recognition and be an incumbent for the seat in the next election. Either that or they put a placeholder in there and descumbag comes in and takes the seat after a break when he has to step down in 2026.
https://x.com/collinrugg/status/1856167309250859172?s=46&t=iYW3foyqIA6Tn8VWwn3nwQ Where’s all the folks saying that the US supplying weapons to Ukraine would result in us being drawn into a war? How do think Mexico’s gonna react when we start our “special military operation” there? Think they’re gonna be cool with it? Especially if we accidentally bomb a bunch of civilians.
The thing is, most of us know they don't give a single shit about women or children, but it makes for a good cover while jailing women and children in cages where they can die of malnutrition or rape.
All I have is a Bluesky post from a political commentator, but they just said that House Bill H.R. 9495 has failed to pass by 2/3rds majority. According to that person, it was: "254 yeas, 146 nays, with 52 of those Democrats supporting." This means Trump won't be given sweeping powers to declare any tax exempt charity that doesn't kowtow to his demands as a "terrorist organization." So some good news this evening. That said, all 52 of those Democrats should be flogged for stupidity. I did get this image:
Well it’s official Trump has appointed Elon to head up the “Department of Governemnt Efficiency” While Elon is just such a bitch i have to admit I’m very curious to see where this goes. Having a private sector guy put the magnifying glass on government overspending is kind of like porn for me Our governments should be efficient as fuck and set the example Notable lap dog Vivek Rashawhaever will be assisting him in this endeavour in a charming effort to stay relevant
Will they make a mess of it? Probably But if you can’t tell me that taking a serious look at Government overspending is something worthwhile then I’ll have to counter with “you’re a fucking idiot”
Yet. Honestly, I'm not sure why they even bothered bringing it up now instead of waiting three months.
