aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I actually like that wig -- much better than the last few nasty ones he was wearing. 000
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If he had another term, you know he'd vote the straight Republican line, just like he always has. 100
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 03/10/2026How about they build it with NO exits? They can go in there and stay in there. 010
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Donald and Melania never ever looked at each other like that. 020
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 01/10/2026In Denver, the average basement sells for a bit under $600K. Note, however, these basements come with a 3 bedroom house, a 2 car garage, and a yard attached! 100
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I'm not pro-royalty, but the European countries that have royalty also manage to have more income equality and a better social safety net. 040
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The only claim Trump received applause I found was from CBS. Why would anyone applaud his nonsensical bragging? Those who even listened were there because it was their job. Hey, did you hear about the Pope's visit to Paris yesterday? 700,000 cheering people!! 001
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It's the part of Trickle Down that works. But what's trickling down isn't money, it's contempt. 010
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm in favor of the UN as a place all countries can go to talk, but my concept rules out the pretense that it is anything better. I'd say most of the members are contemptuous of human rights. 121
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Most rural areas voted for Trump because ... ?? Now look, tariffs reduced agricultural exports, diesel is jacked up in price because of the war, and he's importing beef. The already shaky rural healthcare system will get worse on top of that. 000
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Great charts, but from 9 years ago. I'd love to see what an UPDATED chart would add! 010
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The four countries you named have no business being involved in a meeting that has anything to do with economics. Look at their results. 120
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026There's nothing wrong with analyzing a psychopath, but the best time to do it is when they're in prison or dead -- not in the middle of their murder spree. 010
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Those who are actually criminals should be out in a regular jail, not these camps. 120
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Let's see if there are free and uncorrupted elections. If there aren't, it's time to say, 'You got guns? WE've got guns.' The 'glamour' of working for ICE will wear off if they have to think about the possibility of getting shot. 030
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 23/09/2026They say they're going after the 'worst of the worst'. I can't imagine that -- if it takes that many of them to overpower a gardener! 140
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 23/09/2026When it just says 'POLICE' it reminds me of when I used to get scam calls saying 'This is the phone company ... ' 141
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 22/09/2026When that's the case, they can always apply at the FBI. That's not a barrier there anymore. 050
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I think sometimes it's paid in 1 year increments. 110
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 22/09/2026About 30% are Hispanic. In a way, that is just as disturbing. 2150
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I'm good with them going back -- IF they'll do their jobs and ask REAL, pertinent questions. But, I probably shouldn't get my hopes up. 020
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 21/09/2026After the Russian Revolution, Cheka was formed. That turned into OGPU, which evolved into NKVD, then the well-known KGB. After Communism, that was 'reformed' to the FSK, that became today's FSB. Same tiger, same stripes -- different name. ICE was iffy before; now it's past reformable. 010
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Most of the 59 top cities and capitals probably have Universal Healthcare. Can we get that instead? 000
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 20/09/2026'Hive' -- I'm going to start using that. I used to use 'régime', but that's too dignified. 010
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The biggest political checkmate of our time ... so far! If we win these midterms, we need to go after this whole mob of scoundrels associated with Trump. 011
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Billionaires get tax credits. Maybe they should just pay more and us thousandairs can get the lower tax rate. As it is, WE are the ones who'll pay the $5,000 checks -- with interest. 110
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I'm in favor of people having the option of getting higher education without going into debt for the next 20 years -- or, worse yet, not getting more education. It might sound 'radical' to you, just like free high school did at one time. This'll pay for itself, without adding to the $40T deficit. 100
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 10/09/2026He calls it 'investments'. I call it bribes -- and those will stop if the Republicans lose power. 040
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Those are the cheap seats, which start at 'only' $1,300, I believe. I wonder if this yokel thinks it was worth pawning his pickup and goat to pay for the ticket? 120
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 10/09/2026And, I want $100 bills without his accursed signature. 010
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I'm unable to think of even one President who ever said remotely similar. So, I'll contest that 'All presidents do this ... ' 310
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 10/09/2026If credit card interest is capped at 10%, credit limits would be drastically reduced for most people, late fees would be enormous, and many cardholders would be dropped altogether. Well-to-do borrowers would make out like bandits. 120
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 10/09/2026If he does win this election, the US Treasury will for all practical purposes be HIS piggy bank. He'll have no motivation to pay out anything. 000
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 09/09/2026She could hire on at ICE. She'd fit right in with that gang. 020
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I suspect, however, that her parents never reprimanded her behavior at any time in the last 20+ years. 230
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I've read a few people who joyfully predict a giant Blue Wave in the midterms -- this presumptuous attitude could be fatal. 110
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 05/09/2026If there was such a thing as a drunkard tab, he would have that. 021
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Looking at the rest of the Cabinet, I get the impression that Trump is the one responsible for selecting these incompetent, corrupt leaders. He's the root of the problem -- even Tillis should be able to figure that out. 110
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 02/09/2026And, they'll come for the guns eventually. 120
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'm cutting back, myself. When I find out a company is complicit in Trump's ongoing seizure of power, that's the place where I'm not going to spend anymore money. 010
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Possibly this revenue won't materialize. What I'm afraid of is that the computing power of the data centers will be used, in part, to track everything the public does and says. Get ready for a social credit score such as they have in China. 110
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 01/09/2026His boss, Putin, is probably worse. 110
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 31/08/2026This was posted on Trump's own Truth Social account. He approved this. The alternative explanation is that he can't keep an eye on his own account and so other people are posting crap on it, which is also worrying. 000
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I think it was AI. Unfortunately, there is plenty of actual death and destruction and disruption going on. 130
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 31/08/2026What I'm terrified of is that with enough data centers and improvements in AI, it'll be possible to generate propaganda that will be visually impossible to distinguish from real events. 120
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 31/08/2026The first time he goes out to dinner, I hope a sullen, menacing crowd gathers outside the restaurant in protest. 1421
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Just recently, he liked the building so much he had his name bolted onto the front in yard high letters 🤬! 010
aardwolflake.bsky.social @aardwolflake.bsky.social · 30/08/2026He can wear all the crosses he wants; I'm sure St Thomas Aquinas wouldn't recognize him as a Christian. 160
