In poker it is called a tell. Speaker Johnson's fretting about a Democrat congress investigating, Trump, his family, cabinet members and assorted cronies/donors shows he realizes how vulnerable they all are. Vote.

The convicted felon who at least two dozen women have accused of sexual misconduct calls three NY Social Democrats Communists. Who could have seen that coming? There is as much evidence for the "commie" accusation as there is for a stolen 2020 election or hundreds of other falsehoods. Vote.

Book recommendation: Ibram X. Kendi CHAIN of IDEAS The Origins of our Authoritarian Age I have read 40%, and find the book well researched, readable and informative.

Will we ever find out the national security reasons why a huge curtain was needed to cover the removal of an illegal name on the Kennedy Center?

I am on pins and needles waiting to find out how Joe Biden is responsible for the algae in the reflecting pool, after the costly refurbishing.

If the current USA CEO can run for a third term, then Barak H. Obama is also eligible.

Far too many times during the history of the United States of America the Supreme Court has been a pimple on the ass of progress. The current Court is a full fledged boil.

People who hire law enforcement personnel would do society a great service if they asked the following questions in the hiring process. Do you easily fear for your life? Would you use fearing for your life as an excuse for using deadly force when it was not necessary?

POTUS is ruining his chances to win the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, but is running neck and neck with Putin and Xi for The International Busy Body Dictator of the Year Award.

When POTUS says MAGA he literally means going back to the time of the Robber Barons and Imperialism. It is the duty of American voters to reject that view of the world.

This morning I was going to ask if the medical genius at HHS would inform the medical genius in the White House that there are other blood thinners so one need not over medicate on aspirin. Alas, I awake to find the peace president has used the military to import two Venezuelans into the USA.

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social I finished reading you book last night. Thank you. It is gift for those us who are disgusted with self-proclaimed Christians that don't follow the teachings of Jesus. They have poisoned politics and enabled hate & division. I am recommending your book to one and all.

Redactions in the Epstein files are protecting victims who have not come forward about 10 to 15%. The remaining 85 to 90% is protecting criminality, incompetence and powerful sexual predators. The general public deserves better.

In 1776 Thomas Paine's pamphlet, "Common Sense", was a must read. In 2025 John Fugelsang's book, "Separation of Church and Hate", is a must read.

Do unvaccinated children ever become autistic? How much tariff income has the USA collected in 2025?

You don't think classified information is less important than presidential pardons, do you? Yet POTUS says he can declassify national secrets just by his thoughts, but Joe Biden could not use an auto pen to sign pardons.

I am thankful for Bluesky and all the contributors who do not turn away from what is happening to our country, who have the courage to speak out and give strength to each other in these dystopian times.

AOC and Jasmine C. are bright, moral, well-spoken, informed and definitely not low IQ. The current speaker of the house, in contrast, has an attitude far different from Jesus of Nazareth, lies about what he knows or is woefully uninformed and comes across as Dumpy's Louisiana bitch.

Oops, "...its only sure defence."

"Irreverence is the champion of liberty, & its only defence." Mark Twain

Truman is the first president I distinctly remember. He, and every president since, was harshly criticized and mocked. None liked it, but it's an American tradition and one of our strengths. The current USA CEO has a destructive case of what we called in my youth "rabbit ears". Today's "snowflake".

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett does not know what a constitutional crises would look like. Swell!.

RE: Seal Team Raid Into North Korea Which is worse, the US military conducting an unauthorized, secret, and hostile operation or the POTUS lying about having any knowledge?

The New York Times has stopped linking daily clips from late night talk shows. I attribute the change to cowardice in the face of government intimidation. Weekend Maine rally for Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner was a morale booster. We need more political candidates of his type.

Does the following quote remind you of anyone? "Merciless himself in perpetrating jokes (disparagements) on others, he winces like cur with a flea in his ear when others retort."

If DonJohn can run for a third term as President, so can Barak Obama.

Has anyone filed a lawsuit against the Texas a Republicans for their phoney redistricting scheme? I saw one has been filed against Gavin Newsom's California defensive effort.

Putin's goal is is to reestablish the Russian/USSR empire. Who thinks his wishes don't include Alaska, along with Ukraine, the Stans and the Baltic states? DonJon is a whetting his appetite this weekend.

Jesse Welles, "Join Ice": sing it brother.

A tip of the hat to Eugene Robinson for the way he penetrated the smarmy shield of truth-averse Scott Bessent. Tariffs are paid by the importer. Who knew? Apparently not the USA CEO...

@cjfinnm.bsky.social Thanks. You are the first to respond to any of my posts.

I don't believe for a second that Obama committed any treasonous act. Furthermore, the Supreme Court ruled presidents have immunity from prosecution for official acts. SCOTUS didn't mean the ruling only applied to the current president, did they? Recommended: LAWLESS, by Leah Litman.

ICE agents would not have to hide their identities, if they only targeted immigrants who are criminals and a threat to the country. We would praise them instead of being sickened by the abuses we witness daily.

D.O.D. secretary won't answer Elizabeth Warren because her question is hypothetical, but he has no problem harassing LGBTQ military personnel because his hypothesis is that they are unfit for active duty. There is no proof. We have a cabinet full of pond scum--not a backbone in sight.

The would-be Donald the First considers "Liddle Marco", "Pocahontas", " Shifty Schift", "Sleepy Joe", " Crazy Bernie", "Crooked Hillary", and " Lying Ted" to be language suitable for polite company, by "Donald Taco" is nasty. Like all bullies, he can dish it out, BUT HE CAN'T TAKE IT.

Joe Scarborough ruins Morning Joe by talking incessantly. Somebody should point out that the show would be better if he talked c. 40% less. Clearly guests and cast members, including his wife, are uncomfortable as he rambles on and on.

Please stop using the word tariff. Many lack an understanding of the “T” word. Instead be more precise. Say and write “import tax”. Import Tax. Import Tax. Import Tax. Import Tax

Two wishes: Reporter: "Mr President, few people have your economic education, so would you please explain, step by step, the nuts and bolts of how tariffs work?" Reporter: "Mr President, what were the Hawley-Smoot Tariffs and what, if any, effects did they have on the US and world economies?"

The current regime in DC wants to abandon DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion). They must want BPR (bias, prejudice and rejection) or EPS (exclusion, partiality and segregation). No thank you. I’ll pass.

Dumpy whines about media that oppose him. The poor baby. Fox, Brietbart and Newsmax aren’t enough for him? Like many a two year old he has to have his toy and yours.

To all the people who are clamoring for the USA to be a Christian nation, have you decided on the denomination. Catholics have a strong hold on the Supreme Court. The Baptists may have other ideas.

Congressional MAGAs speak with forked tongues.

Many constitutional originalists are trying to convince us the founders meant the president should get the appointments he wants, even though the Constitution says the Senate should advise and consent. Originalism is as bogus as trickle down economics.

Life is not always logical, but paranoia logic is unassailable to the paranoid.

One side of our divided country wants to navigate the future in reverse—neither a good tactic nor strategy. What say you.
