Trump, the legend in his own mind, says he would have won the Vietnam war quickly if he had been president. Hey, why don't you win the one you just started? At the rate he's degrading our forces we will need Ukraine to defend us from a Russian attack.

Trump is reportedly realizing that history might remember him as a failed president "like Carter". No worries. Trump destroyed our standing in the world, our alliances, hurt democracy, stole public funds, and hurt the poor to benefit the rich. Carter is a Lincoln versus you. You're the worst!

That's exactly right.

The move to establish an independent commission to evaluate Trump's fitness for office has a problem. If the commission finds him unfit, Trump can send a "written declaration" that there is no inability and resume office. He steps back into power and congress needs 2/3 vote to affirm his unfitness

"I can destroy this country." - Donald J. Trump. Can we call this Fascist Fraudster a traitor and just round up a firing squad? He's called for the death penalty each time HE calls someone a traitor after all. Good idea, but use it for the Orange guy.

Today, Trump has indicated that - if Congress doesn't pass voter ID.. meant to disenfranchise women and minority voters - he will do so by Executive Order. He claims an irrefutable argument and says he has plumbed the depths of "Legal Arguments not yet articulated" to come to his conclusion.

Congress has a critical government funding deadline on January 30th. It’s up to them to use it for good. Send an email to demand accountability and oppose additional funding for DHS without safeguards that rein in ICE’s violence and lawlessness: act.standupamerica.com/letters/lett...

Fun fact for you ammosexual gun rightsers: The minute “gubmint” decided you can legitimately be killed for having a weapon, you lost your “2nd amendment” rights. It’s gone. Weird how all that NRA hype & fear mongering about Dems just petered out on a whimper when tyranny actually showed up.

Jonathan Ross taken to prison for murder. You need complete sentences, not just the subject.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Trump says American oil companies will pay billions to rebuild Venezuela. Least we can do, we are stealing their oil after all. Wonder if the oil companies he's talking about have contributed money to him? Nah, no one could be so corrupt as to risk American soldiers to make the rich richer.

From the WH: "Our grat country cannot be run by stupid or incompetent people. - Donald J. Trump" Agree 100%. And nice of you to include an obvious example.

Woke up this morning to news that Trump is asking whether there's room on Mount Rushmore for another president. *Ahem* No, Donny, but we can put you at the top of the FBI's Most Wanted.

I realized with the mass murders by people with guns like the one at Brown that we have become numb. Too many guns and some are in the hands of people who shouldn't own a sharp switchblade let alone a weapon capable of killing from a distance. How long will children be allowed to be targets?

Today's headline: Trump brags he has taken more dementia tests than any other president. Isn't his bragging itself a proof of dementia? Why do you think they want those tests, Donny Small Hands?

The presidential pardon power was meant to be an instrument of mercy not to be used to pardon cronies or political donors. As with everything else, Trump has misused and degraded an act of humanity. We need a Constitutional amendment that prohibits pardons for members of the administration.

Clarifying the latest Trump complaint. It isn't sedition to tell someone that they have the right and a legal duty to insist that the law be followed. It's simple. Only a criminal feels they're being undermined when someone points out that illegal orders can be refused. Shooting civilians next?

Best concise argument against Trump. Vote Blue and spread this around.

And this bears repeating ....

Some of the crimes that Pedophile-in-Chief committed HAD to have taken place in New York. It was his base of operations. He may not have raped children in NY, but he probably ARRANGED for the crime to occur while he was in NY. That's conspiracy. Wouldn't it be funny if Tish James jailed him?

I have worked the polls in New York since 2017. Each election, I have watched Democratic voters come to the polls in a heavily Trump county. Sporadic and few. Yesterday, they were many and for a while they were constant with NO registered Republicans voting. Blue victory in 2026 and 2028.

It just occurred to me that this Tax the Rich idea might merit very serious consideration by the first non-MAGA congress. Musk, e.g., is currently seeking a $TRILLION annual salary from Tesla. That's one thousand BILLION. He literally cannot burn his money fast enough to get rid of it.

It’s been 40 years since Reaganomics. How much has trickled down to you? What color was it? Right

The best cure for government shutdowns would be to freeze congressional salaries on Day One. There are many who lack the basic empathy to feel for the hunger, hardship, and destitution being created. It would help if THEIR lives did not continue like normal.

I'm delighted that British media exists. The BBC is broadcasting a special showcasing all the lies that Trump has said this year alone. What a wonderful way to welcome him to the UK! Why don't we do that here? Feckless cowards. Liberate the Post from Amazon.

There was one story out there already they renditioned the guy, left the dog on the street and it ended up getting hit and killed by a car while chasing after them.

@metal.ee Technically, since we are social beings with culture and we have a common symbology in each society and sub-group, there is no such thing as a faith unique to one person. So. we're all "religious" in the sense that we all participate in faith norms. You'll figure it out, I'm sure.

@bighand914.bsky.social hello, Jack. Welcome to Blue Sky.

Tomorrow's military parade on Trump's 79th birthday is an obscenity more fit for a banana republic than a democracy. But, in the spirit of peace and good will. Donald, have a Happy Birthday, may you have a long life befitting all the good things you have done and live to your 22nd birthday.

I just want to say that I'm Hispanic, so there's a certain pull to minority status. I've heard people in supermarkets saying to me as they point to brown people: "Why don't they speak English?' I don't know, Spanish isn't a secret language, so why aren't you bilingual?

It's been suggested that Blue Sky is hampered by a lack of contributors from the Dark Side. Really? I encounter a lot of them on FB and even respond to a few. I can take the time to post a thoughtful rebuttal and their response? "Make America Great Again, you asshole!" Scintillating? Nah!

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Elon Musk is giving up his government "work" to go back to Tesla. Now that he's done his bit to support fascism, unjustly enrich himself further with government contracts, destroyed real lives by destroying programs that supported them, and promoted racism, he wants us to forget all that?

I had a dream where I was visiting Trump's gravesite .... and was awakened by the loud cheers.

Just the other day, I picked up overnight envelopes from the Post Office. Told there is no more overnight. Two to 3 days. Meanwhile, cost of stamps way up. Postmaster General? Trump appointee from his first term. So, it costs more and service is poorer. Typical Trump making us "great".

Sometimes, I wonder at people who advocate "neutrality" in arguments. All arguments. Is there not one side that seems more compelling? As a former lawyer, I learned that lawyers advocate fiercely for their side and that by showcasing their best points and making the weak

It occurred to me to wonder: Is Trump upset that they picked an American for Pope ... and just ignored him??!!

Thank you Rev. William Barber: The Rev. Dr. William Barber was arrested at the Capitol for praying and challenging the budget bill -- let's support his prophetic witness act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/thank-y...

I have a slogan for the next Democratic candidate for President. FIX THE MESS

Trump's latest idiocy. Regarding the shooting at Florida State, he passed on any empathy for two dead people and just jumped straight into his talking point: "[T]he gun doesn't do the shooting, the people do."

Vandalize a Tesla, get 20 years. Vandalize the capital, get pardoned

You can read the whole conversation at this link: x.com/i/grok/share... The conversation ends with the exchange shown in the image below.

Congratulations to all the people who voted for Trump because they thought he’d be good for the economy

"A person who is insensitive to the interests of other members of the community ... and seeks only to obtain private wealth is a monster." - John B. Cobb, Jr. This properly characterizes the fact that rampant personal greed destroys the soul of the person even as it diminishes everyone's life.

This week, Columbia University caved into Trump and has appointed a vice-provost to monitor "controversial" departments. This is clearly a violation of the First Amendment because Trump is telling them WHAT they can teach and HOW.
