I'll leave this mysterious so you have to engage like a normal human person to know things about me.
If you think anyone who disagrees in any way is a Trump-supporting Nazi, just block me now because you're not worth knowing.
To everyone else: Hello!

I find it incredible that I haven't donated to @democrats.org since President Obama and they are STILL emailing me asking for money. I'll give you money when you stop anointing the most unpopular Presidential candidates imaginable and then whinging about how you lost. Deal?

Hey look, a practicing attorney and former JAG agrees with me and disagrees with all the armchair lawyers of Bluesky that "just following orders" is a valid defense.
Quelle surprise that Blue MAGA, like Red MAGA, doesn't know anything at all about anything at all.

@mayor.lacity.gov more of your paid thugs blocking someone from complying with your curfew. Any thoughts?
This goes out to people coming in my replies saying “just comply with curfews”.
Many try to. But police block them from getting out of the area and even actively tell them they cannot leave. They then wait until curfew time and mass arrest.

Weird, I saw tons of black folks in videos from across the country. It looks like you wanted to sit out while couching it in language that implies you speak for all black people.

Please note that the Black folks are sitting this one out.
It’s not that we don’t love our country.
It’s that this fight is not of our making, and our PRESENCE would agitate the police to shoot.
We did all the heavy lifting to perfect and preserve democracy domestically for the last 100 years.

@rweingarten.bsky.social as @democrats.org have become increasingly anti-union & anti-labor while spending millions of dollars on consultants that only ever help them lose harder.

I just figured out how to see if I was on moderation lists. Apparently I'm a "Resist Grifter"! Honestly, that's so fucking funny.

Hey @governor.ca.gov, I found some more violent agitators. They assaulted a reporter on live TV. Should we assume you'll have a podcast episode where you sit down and defend this thug's right to attack journalists?
Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

COTTON: As President Trump said, he gave Iran 60 days to make a deal, and that was day 61
BRENNAN: And then he scheduled talks on day 63. You know that. This wasn't really a hard deadline.
