- Might I suggest actually learning the details before commenting on a situation?
- Hello Bluesky, I've been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I'm thrilled to be here to engage with all of you.
- Is the common sense in the room with you now? Because all I see from you is bootlicking fascism.

- The “baby” in this case was a nine week embryo when Adriana Smith died. So—not actually a baby. Not even remotely viable. The healthcare is not free and we have no idea of the long term prognosis for a prematurely delivered infant that developed inside of a corpse.

- In an ironic way? (She said hopefully but knowing it probably wasn’t the case.) I will say this—not great but at least it didn’t compel me to throw it against a wall unlike the first Twilight book. Read strictly out of morbid curiosity and boy, was that a mistake.

- Huh. Forgot I was following you. Welp, time to unfollow. What a disappointment.

- And Biden stepped down because of pressure that he wasn’t fit. Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters elected a man who is obviously suffering from dementia, as well as being openly corrupt and stupid to boot. So, yeah, they’re imbeciles.
- The current POTUS thinks the Declaration of Independence is a document of “love, unity, and respect.” JFC I hate this timeline.

- You think so but these are the same people who repeatedly vote against their own interest because of drag queens and a handful of trans women in sports.

- There is zero evidence of widespread voter fraud. The SAVE Act is a solution in search of a problem & what amounts to a poll tax on women. Even the Heritage Foundation’s database of voter fraud has less that 2k over 30 years. Irregular voting is very infrequent & usually is due to misunderstanding.
- Every. Single. Day.

- The other thing that is consistently overlooked in the 1950s recreation fantasies is that manufacturing was booming in the US in the 1950s because the rest of the world had been bombed to hell in WWII.
- Wondering how all those people who voted for Trump because “the economy!” are feeling right now.

- The very epitome of “sore winners.”

- Why? They’re only preaching to the choir. The people who need to hear this—MAGAs, republicans, conservatives—aren’t ever going pay attention to Obama or Clinton or Biden.

- It’s not his responsibility and what, exactly, is he supposed to achieve as a private citizen? You want to point fingers? Point them at the people who didn’t vote or opted not to vote because of Gaza.

- Honestly I feel like much of this is revenge on everyone who didn’t vote for him in 2020. That fact that it’s hurting the people who did vote for him is irrelevant.

- Costco’s decision to uphold DEI initiatives is what compelled me to finally get a membership. And I have eliminated Target from my shopping rotation.

- You read paragraph (2) carefully. Encouraging the hiring of diverse workers is not discriminating against anyone. It’s making sure qualified candidates aren’t overlooked because of their race or gender. Know who benefits from DEI initiatives? Military veterans, including disabled veterans.
- [Not loaded yet]
- No, it’s not. DEI is not discrimination, snowflake.

- I find it ironic that the guy who ruffled feathers to fly the price flag outside his office window as Lt. Governor voted to confirm the woman who now vows to investigate companies with DEI policies.
- About time you found your backbone.

- And yet you throw your whole-hearted support to a country now committing genocide on the Palestinian people. Good job. What a disappointment you turned out to be. From having principles to bootlicking a fascist.
- On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated. “I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”

- It is the protest voters who protested by *not* voting.
- Just got our Costco membership yesterday.
- Are we really going to do this thing where we claw at the throats of people with ideals similar to our own rather than focusing our rage to the maniacs who are trying to speedrun downfall of the Weimar Republic 2.0? It feels a little misplaced to be angry at people who have a hard line at genocide.

- There’s that false equivalency bullshit again. “Both candidates are just the same! They’re equally bad!” No. No, they are not.

- That “conscience” conveniently ignored the effect of a Trump presidency on disenfranchised, marginalized, and vulnerable people. Now we have Doctor Phil embedded with ICE raids and a burgeoning family dictatorship. Good job.

- Of course Bibi wanted Trump to win and he dragged his feet in doing anything until the election was over because of that.

- The Vice President doesn’t set foreign policy. And Israel is funded by congress.

- At what point am I expressing support for Israel and condoning their actions? Hint: never.

- The DNC *was* better. Not the best but certainly better than Trump and the GOP, who are openly advocating for white supremacy, a national ban on abortion, a rollback of civil rights, and criminalization of LGBTQ people.

- I am mad at the right people: single issue voters who allowed Trump to win. Sometimes there is no perfect choice & you pick the best option at the time. Harris & the Democratic Party could have been pressured. Now, there’s nothing that can be done & the US is spinning even further into fascism.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Ah, so instead now Trump is authorizing the release of 2,000 lb bombs to Israel to use which Biden hadn’t done.
- [This post could not be retrieved]
- Oh ok, so don’t vote at all and enable the dementia-addled best friend of Bibi to take office thereby ensuring destruction of Gaza and, as a bonus, enact an oligarchy in the US, stripping rights from millions and further eroding democracy here.

- Maybe you should be blaming the country actually perpetrating the genocide, which would be Israel.
