Let's face it, if Trump said "America deserved 9/11" MAGA would be lining up to agree with him. There is no low to sink to when the bar is already in hell. But yes, this is much worse. By a lot.

Btw this is infinitely worse than saying “America deserved 9/11”

It's amazing how much of one's mood can be improved by a bunch of sugar and caffeine. After a crappy day it can make you feel like a million bucks! Makes kicking my Mountain Dew habit that much harder.

Um, actually...technically we're not a republic; were a Democratic Republic. Sorry MAGA chuds, you can't out nerd a nerd. 🤓 Especially when said nerd understands the structure of our government better than you.

The anti-abortion crowd doesn't even try to hide it. They talk about how "unborn males" are the primary victims in abortion. They can't hide the sexism inherent to their argument.

One can hope. But the American people have let this continue for 10 years, I don't know if we have the will to make it happen. Trump, et al, are certainly behaving like America does not, indeed have that will. What's terrifying is they might be right.

The polls have stalled at 37% approval for Trump. If they were actually honest they would probably be lower.

This is what you get when you elect a president so he can stay out of jail.

Will we ever actually hold anyone accountable? We're in an era with unlimited crime at the top, while they are trying to crack down on crime at the bottom. How about we install a flock camera in Ron's office, we can use AI to search for his crimes.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

Big surprise, even Trump's worst ideas aren't even his own. There's not an original thought in his body. Even his bad ideas were stolen from somewhere else.

Yes, it does sound familiar.

North Korea is good. Canada is bad. Coal is good. Solar is bad. Measles is good. Vaccination is bad. Child rapists are good. Childcare is bad. Pointless wars are good. Universal healthcare is bad. Anyone supporting the unrelenting chaos of the #GOP deserves zero respect. #RemoveTrump

The problem was never the vaccines, it's the Antivax people capturing massive mindshare of Americans until they don't believe in science anymore. That said this can only be a good thing and hopefully presents a more effective and safe vaccine delivery.

Amazon really is an evil company. They are price fixing, and test their workers like crap. Maybe if they spent more money on people than on giving Jeff Bezos enough money to go to Mars they'd be a better company.

My union lobbied NYS to pass a heat bill with temperature limits. Now every classroom in my district has an air conditioner. Unionize Amazon.

Donald Trump will go down as the shitstain of American history. He's smearing himself all over everything. Reading the latest Kennedy Center drama, and even after he's long gone, and his name finally removed, the scars on the marble will still be visible for centuries.

Certainly an attention getter! After a stack of drab resumes and cover letters, this one would absolutely be a memorable one!

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and in 1949 he won an Oscar for ‘Battleground’.

Used to be Utah didn't get caught up in national politics so much. But Utah Republicans have been increasingly serving MAGA little by little. The insane voter registration records being public and now they are attacking birth certificates in preparation for Trump's midterm play. Disgraceful!

ksl.comUtah changes birth certificate policy after KSL Investigators uncover records issueA family experienced what felt like a records runaround when they tried to get certified copies of their birth certificates.

It's wild to me that a public health crises was so quickly politicized. It definitely didn't help that Trump was in charge at the time, leading to criticism and conspiracies on both sides. This is the end result of that. Just more conspiracies that gullible people believe.

He's spending $100M because he knows his taxes would be much more then that. People don't realize how much a billion dollars is. It's such a large number that you could spend $100K/year for 10,000 years. Or $1M/year for 1,000 years. Or put it in a fund at 0.1% return and live on $1M/year forever.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.

Now consider, Sergey Brin's net worth (est. as of this writing) is 282 times more than 1 billion. Yeah, $100M is like dropping a penny for him. He wouldn't even know it's gone.

Put another way, $100M is only about 0.03546% of Brin's net total net worth. Considering my own roughly estimated net worth, which is primarily derived from my home owner status, which is probably estimated way too high considering all my debts, including mortgage, that would be like me paying $100.

I've heard some very popular opinions about Dr. Fauci recently that are just wild. Blaming him for COVID deaths. And I just don't get it. How are people so science illiterate and bought by propaganda? Often I feel like the only sane person while everyone else is losing their goddamned minds.

Even though I'm a Utah native and read a lot of history, I still discover new things I never knew. For instance the invention of the electric traffic light.

In 1912, Salt Lake City patrolman Lester Wire built and installed the world’s first electric traffic light, at 200 South and Main. Yes, the world’s first. Now the hunt is on to find it so it can be displayed in a museum.

Teddy is easily one of my favorite presidents. He wasn't perfect and did a lot of imperialism. But he was a real one. And he would have been the bigger man than Trump. He was what Trump pretends to be, a real man.

It’s your right and your obligation to call out corruption and abuse.

Happy 250 America! We're in the midst of trying times, but in the dark of the night the bomb flashes show the Republic is still there. We're not through it yet, and the worst may still be ahead. But I still have hope we can pull through. May the dawn's early light yet shine on my country tomorrow.

I still can't believe those people were pardoned by Trump. And now they are handing out 100 year prison sentences for ICE protestors. Goddamn ICE Protestors! Like standing in the way of MAGA SS storm troopers is some sort of equivalent to literally trying to overthrow the US government.

Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social

When the DOJ covers up the crimes of the president, this just reaffirms to me that the DOJ should be an independent organization from the executive branch. If the FBI wasn't the president's personal Mafia, maybe we could have proven Trump took that $10 million from Egypt.

There are no "safe" Republicans. They are all lock step with MAGA. To the point I argue there is no Republican party anymore. There's only the MAGA party, and they aren't capable of independence from MAGA, nor Trump. They will go down with him. I don't know the future, but they will all go down.

Incredibly disappointed Ben McAdams the won the UT Democratic primary. McAdams is not progressive, he's a corporate Israel backed Democrat. Might as well send a Republican for that seat. He's Mormon Chuck Schumer. We deserve better. But I guess even the bluest district in UT can't vote progressive.

Unfortunately I won't be able to vote in the big Utah Democratic Primary on the 23rd, since I'm in a decidedly red district. But just a reminder to my neighbors who do get to vote: Ben McAdams is not a progressive, and he takes AIPAC money. He's not the progressive we need right now.

There was that "Lions not sheep" right wing slogan back in what, 2020? The idea being MAGA want to BE the predator, not the prey. The fundamental misunderstanding being they think they had a choice. We are all the sheep and they voted for the predator with the idea that makes them predators too.

The real "welfare queens" have always been the rich. What, you're mad someone to got $12,000 from welfare when they lost their job? Elon gets billions in tax subsidies. I thought such a good businessman could make his own money without a handout. Conservatism is bunk. It's all worship of evil.
