Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 9hThe soundtrack to Scarface bothered me so much that I couldn’t finish the movie. 121
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 10hOk, when I first read that, I assumed it was Sam Alito and decided that it explained so much. 010
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 16hIt’s important to note that it’s ok for Trump to target Iranian oil infrastructure, but Ukraine better stop attacking Russian oil interests. 150
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 17hJust read the latest from @dandrezner.bsky.social My question is whether it’s normal, as Axios reporter Courtney Brown did, to use the USTR as your proof that the rest of the world is coming around to Trump trade. I’d expect that from NR, not real media. 000
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 17hIf I see frogs falling out of the sky, I am so outta here… 010
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Well, it is against the backdrop of a 40T+ national debt. 010
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I remember the Iron Fist of Justice, Dana Loesch, decide that the fact that Castile smoked werd was enough of a reason to ignore the issue. 000
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This is the first administration I’ve seen that is so openly oligarchical. 020
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 04/10/2026WaPo editorial board also spilled a lot of ink against Spanberger based on one poll. They have not returned back to the issue despite new data that show the Governor with better approval numbers. 011
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The inflation created by injecting 1T in stimulus spending would be incredible. Good news is that it would hurt the GOP for a long while. Bad news is that we’d have to deal with the long term effects. 010
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Jennifer, I hope you’re right. I just don’t trust your state to do the right thing. 010
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Islamists and Communists is what GOPniks are calling Democrats these days. Surely just a coincidence. Right? 020
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If these two crazy kids can’t make I, what hope is there for the rest of us? 020
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I made a similar point about their “protect women’s athletics” performance art. 020
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Marist poll shows Vivek trailing Acton with Acton at 50%. I wonder to what effect this bizarre attack on Indian-Americans has had on those numbers. 010
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Andrew with opens up a can of hillbilly whoop-ass on RS. Seriously, it’s a great response to a very weird Rolling Stone essay. I say that as someone who has heard the song maybe 2-3 times and just didn’t care for it. 022
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Also, why does he do the “Vigo the Carpathian” look? It’s not Churchillian. It’s quite ridiculous. 021
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Always Jaco…static.klipy.comJaco Pastorius JammingALT: Jaco Pastorius Jamming 030
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 25/09/2026That SNL performance was one of the all-time great ones and it’s not on any of the archived episodes that stream. I think Jeremy Irons hosted. 110
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Yep. Saw them at Club Clearview in Dallas on Truth and Soul. One of my top ten shows ever. 010
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Grim is an actuall commie and Stoller thought that Trump would be good on anti-trust policy, so… 130
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 23/09/2026There’s a reason I can’t name a favorite Bowie tune. There’s too many great songs! 220
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Quite simply, this administration doesn’t believe that pay to play corruption is real corruption. Real corruption is what poor people do, not the wealthy and powerful. 011
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Yeah… No. Really don’t like polling companies teasing polls as if they’re news. 120
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Really, kids… The Unitary Executive is a problem. A big one. 030
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I liked that one. Better than it had any right to be. 011
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Based on his “AI Force” tweet, he not only won’t, but it seems he can’t. 010
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 18/09/2026As I said in my criticism of the editorial at another site (can’t remember which), the US elected Trump twice. The country has effectively become populist, which means unpredictable. No country is going to bank on that sort of chaos. 020
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Seriously, man… What happened in Ka$h’s youth that made him so certain that there’s voluntary and involuntary animal shtupping? 000
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I just saw TXGOP trying to do some damage control re: the Bo French anti-Indian tweet, so someone is aware of the damage they’re doing to the ‘24 coalition of voters. 030
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026And, by the way, the issue isn’t whether someone has done x,y, or z. The question has always been about whether the applicant can be blackmailed or coerced should the matter become known by an adversary. I’m not sure that even if the FBI says it’s ok, that the security risk is removed. 000
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Gotta be honest, I did DOD, DHS, and IC backgrounds for 20 years. This never came up once. 110
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Receiving a six-figure gift from an adversary of the US isn’t a nothing burger. 020
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Trump’s taste in music is pretty terrible, The Who (it’s Baba O’Riley, not Teenage Wasteland) excepted, so don’t think I can agree with you on this. 000
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The next Martha’s Vineyard and definitely not cursed. 000
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Not so sure I believe that it was Mrs. Alito who flew the upside down US flag following the 2020 election. 010
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026While it would have been nice to see SCOTUS to tell the admin to fully fuck off, the most pressing issue was the fact that states have no time to implement these changes, even if legal. And, BTW, the admin knew this and still pursued just so they can use this as an excuse when Ds win in November. 000
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Really pleasantly surprised that Nikki Sixx is normal. 000
Patrick @aldrichpatrick.bsky.social · 14/09/2026As I said on the other site, effectively shuts down the stories about the “pay for play” pardon grift by focusing on these two incompetents. Not great, Bob. 000
