If the Federal government can't afford to run the department of education...

It sure as hell shouldn't be paying for anyone's golf weekends.

Musk vows to cut half a trillion from social security.

But the only thing he's managed to cut is trillions from the stock market.

Question:

Would AJ Delgado have preferred the facehugger or Jason Miller?

At least she wouldn't have to fight the facehugger for child support and it'd all be over quickly.

Remember Kids:

When DOGE claims they found lots of fraud,

but fudged the figures to exaggerate their claims of fraud?

Thats fraud.

Vance and Trump's bizarre presser where they hounded and harangued the President of Ukraine: demanding that he say 'thanks' when he already has (and frequently).

It's good to remind people:

Ukraine actually did send troops to Afghanistan and Iraq

Not sure I heard Trump or Vance thank him for that

Loved the Joe Rogan Musk interview.

Billionaire tells dumb nillionaires that their only hope of an income when they're older is a con.

Using zero facts, only opinion and some loose arguments he tries to destroy an institution that's lasted longer than him AND done something useful.

Sure Elon.

JD's comment about gratitude is something I find deeply offensive.

Our Sons and daughters aren't spilling their blood on the fields of Europe right now while Ukraine bears the brunt of Russia's aggression.

And all it cost was money. The gratitude and respect should be mutual at this point.

Never send the child-catcher to do the attorney generals job.

They should still release the report's findings, now its clearly in the national interest. If he can't be the AG, he should never have been a congressman either.

Is it wrong of me to point out that all those trolls who followed you from Twitter - they also log into bluesky before they log into anything else.

Obsession makes them do strange things.

"If we're in an echo chamber - and we left you behind - what have you got?"

In three days of being on Bluesky I've had more interactions and likes than in a month on Sh1tter

But according to Slo Munke there's no algorithm, throttling or preventing people from seeing each others posts even when they've followed each other

We all knew it. Breathtakingly blatant deception
November 20, 2024 at 12:18 PM
Amazing. Just joined bluesky less than two hours ago and the same non-parody-parody trolls from twitter are already weighing in....

Not so different after all, except that blocking works here.

Off to a great start
