Time for us to review the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution with the president.

And also time to remind the Republicans in Congress that the midterms will come and we will be ready.

Pope Leo XIV is not the first American Pope. He is the first Pope of American descent. He is the Pope for the whole world.

Now let's order him a pizza and send him some tickets to Wrigley Field.

Pope Leo XIV! I'll put up with him being a Cubs fan as long as he continues the work of Pope Francis. May God bless him and give him strength for what is ahead.

God bless the new Pope!! From Chicago!!

The Dow dropped 2,200 points, and the S & P is down 500. I'm a retired person who has to take $$ from my my retirement account for the first time this year. I don't even want to look at how much I've lost because a fool was put in the White House and the cowards in Congress won't control his damage.

Why can't all U.S. taxpayers file a class action lawsuit against the federal government regarding DOGE's stealing personal data?

I'm sad, tired, and bitchy these days with very little patience for anything. I thought I made it through the first week okay. This sneaked up on me. Take care of yourselves. Be kind to yourselves.

Could someone tell Senator Cassidy that I have a bridge to sell him in London. We can collaborate closely on the sales price.

I am happy to read posts here from people who support Canada and Mexico in this tariff war. And this is Black History Month whether the racist in the White House likes it or not. Celebrate it loudly and freely. We are still America.

I was out with friends today so I just saw the President's press conference about the tragedy in D.C. today. That is, watched until he started claiming that the FAA was actively seeking to hire severely intellectually disabled people to be air traffic controllers. Then I went to fact check.

Have a wonderful Monday Blueskyers! The sun is shining in Chicago. This is a day to remember Martin Luther King and to be thankful for those you love and those who love you. I will not waste one more day on that which does not spark joy in me.

Merry Christmas, Bluesky Universe! It will be a challenge, but keep it in your heart all through 2025.

I shared a bathroom with 5 sisters and 6 brothers and I think I have a solution to the "where should the representative from Delaware go to the bathroom." Congress should find a small third bathroom and put a sign on it saying it is for the transphobic.

As a woman, I am insulted and frankly pissed off that prosecutors are agreeing with a plan to postpone Trump's sentencing until he leaves the White House. This is cowardly crap.
November 20, 2024 at 8:30 PM
Can anyone explain to me why Trump is being allowed to make an open threat on Liz Cheney's life with no legal repercussions. I understood his comments to be a death threat.
November 1, 2024 at 4:17 PM
I believe that Melania Trump's comments regarding a woman's right to choose are all about selling books. Donald Trump supporting her right to her opinion is about blurring the lines for votes. This reminds me of the act Vance put on during the VP debate. I do not trust these people.

J.D.Vance just said he is proud to have the endorsement of RFK,jr. Big mistake.

There's a video of Vance speaking at the Christian Nationalist Courage Tour this past Saturday in which he claims teachers are teaching "87"different gender identities and not reading, writing, and mathematics. I fact checked. The video is real. He wants to take the funding away from public schools.

You cannot claim to be Pro-Life and support executions. If life is sacred, all life is sacred.

There are no pictures of roses posted on my feed today. I need the roses to deal with the politics.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,122,299!

Okay. I am going on the record as being out of patience with "undecided voters." Do they read the news? Do they fact check? Did they watch the debate? Either you give a damn about this country or you have loyalty only to yourself. Make a decision!
