Sportswriter, activist, liberal, patriot. I do not engage with Trumpers. I have a Jack Russell terrier mix dog named Piper. I've lived in Kentucky since 2016, in Bowling Green since 2019. I went to WKU in the surrealistic '70s. Check out jimmashek.com
Well, @georgetakei.bsky.social in his defense, he's a blithering idiot
Perfectly captured.

They live in a world that doesn't exist, @logicallyjc.bsky.social

Everything is an affront to their right-wing, fascist sensibilities.
I don’t want to hear about the “radical left” from people who pose their kids with guns for Christmas cards.

Donnie's guys.
Look who’s come to celebrate Trumps win!!
December 17, 2024 at 1:45 PM
I'm done with 'em, too, @reclaimamerica.bsky.social

Feel bad for Willie, caught in the jetwash

I used to watch the show every morning before work.
They saw Donald Trump as l saw him. A privileged man, who never had to face any consequences, for anything. A convicted felon running for President.
But apparently, after the election, none of that mattered. They kissed the ring.
I said goodbye.

Go to hell, Nancy Mace AND @claytravis.bsky.social
Nancy Mace says she is concerned that the drone sightings off NJ is either aliens from another planet or Russia/Iran/China searching for a missing nuclear warhead.

His whole life is a lie, @joycewhitevance.bsky.social
It's unsurprising that there is reporting about Trump changing his tune on Project 2025 & supporting parts of it. Last August when he said he'd never read it, I did a little research & wrote about the connectivity. joycevance.substack.com/p/more-lies-...
More Lies About Project 2025
Today, we learned that Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts will delay the publication of his book, “Dawn’s Early Light,” (foreword by GOP VP nominee J.D.

The 'Wonder Bread' boys, @tristansnell.bsky.social
Here are the House Republicans' new committee chairs.

Gosh, if only we could find some kind of theme here...

why are these people so spineless, @gtconway.bsky.social ??
💯. Thoroughly agree. The terms of the settlement were incommensurate with the merits of the case.
As a lawyer let me be clear: ABC News was NEVER going to lose the defamation lawsuit to Trump. They agreed to pay Trump $15 million bc in their view it's good for business. Don't let these oligarchs gaslight you: Trump is still a FASCIST threat. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/dont-let-t...

CORRECT. Thank you @deanobeidallah.bsky.social

Don’t let the corporate oligarchs gaslight you into bending a knee for Trump
ABC News gives us the ABC’s of submitting to Trump’s fascist rule

Pop-Tarts Bowl?

You're serious, right now?
NEW: In a video call posted by Deion Sanders Jr., Cam Ward indicated he is going to play in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.

He has not said anything on his own social media, and UM has not confirmed it (granted, it’s a Sunday night).

I wouldn't be MAGA at gunpoint, @logicallyjc.bsky.social and I'm serious.
I’m still not MAGA.

NO. Hard pass.
Changed my mind about this halfway through @jaysonst.bsky.social article.
I kind of like the idea of a losing team having the option late in a game .....
New from me:

The Golden At-Bat rule could give us a Trout vs. Ohtani WBC moment in almost every game.

But is it worth it?

Infuriating. But reality.
They bring hateful stuff like this:
November 21, 2024 at 5:38 PM
One correction, @kydemocrats.org ....

They're not 'real' conservatives.

They're right-wing Cult 45 members.

Together, we fight like hell @kydemocrats.org ... No quarter! Andy in 2028!

It was the '90s, man.
Been casually rewatching Seinfeld again, just finished the Susan arc. Insane they did that, insane they got away with it, top tier TV

That's been the case for decades @vermontgmg.bsky.social

I have lived almost exclusively in red states since college -- Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky ... I am looking to relocate for this clustercluck.
This is the ultimate irony of the Trump voter anger. The red states, by and large, get more from the fed govt than they pay in—it’s blue states that prop up the red states across most of the country!

We should be VERY CONCERNED.

He's a fascist pig.
'Trump tried to limit financial conflicts in 2017. This time could be different.'

Really? The headline should be 'Trump made a feeble effort to give the appearance of limiting financial conflicts in 2017 and will probably not bother at all this time'

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump tried to limit financial conflicts in 2017. This time could be different.
Trump will take office with extraordinary wealth at a time when the government’s ability to monitor his ethics is far weaker than in his first presidency.

Correct. We won't. Ever.
They don’t roll over for Trump and blindly obey him. No fuckin way.
November 21, 2024 at 5:19 PM
THIS IS THEIR INTENTION.
This is the sale of the century, they think they have a mandate to sell off the United States. There will never be another election because the US federal government will not exist.

Willie had become the star, anyway, @logicallyjc.bsky.social
Sorry, Morning Joe, we’re just not that in to you.
