You know who wouldn't hold Trump or the tech-bro billionaires accountable if he became president? Hint 1: Same dude who thought that marrying the hideous abomination in the first photo was a good idea. Hint 2: See if you can find someone below who isn't in the first photo.

Trump tries to intimidate Xi by greeting him with the advanced martial arts stance known as “Hippo on Hill”.

Maybe not. Trump just knows stuff. Lots of stuff. Stuff nobody in history has ever known. Big, beautiful stuff, not dum stuff.

"If I can't have the Kennedy Center then no one can." You think this is bad? Wait until we get to the part where Trump says, "If I'm going to die then no one else deserves to live." That's when anyone who might've doubted what Trump's capable of will find out how wrong they were.

Experiences of a Lifetime 🤔 Let's do a comparison and see what two different experiences of a lifetime tell you about the values of two different men. Thoughts? Opinions? Let 'em fly. I'm here for it.

In the entire history of humankind there have been exactly zero wars fought between nations over renewable energy. Come to think of it, the closest thing to wars waged over renewable energy are propaganda wars waged by a greedy & dying fossil fuel industry and the politicians who are bought by them

Three power hungry dictators want to carve up the world into their 3 personal empires. All 3 are morally bankrupt. All 3 will do anything to remain in power. Two are calculating and cunning. One is a useful idiot to the other two. Removing the useful idiot is essential to stopping the other two
Xi, Trump, Putin

The most recent time I almost crashed was when a cosplay Tour De France asshole flew past me in a bike lane choke point like the one shown. It isn't only cars that cyclists need to worry about. Insufferably obnoxious cyclists are also a problem. Helmets save brains, no matter what causes a crash.

If a congressman or senator does not uphold the oath they took when they were sworn in, and they're not held accountable, then the oath is meaningless. The USA is in its current crisis due to a lack of accountability. Any politician who doesn't demand accountability is part of the problem.

I’ve already contacted my lawyer since Bluesky has repeatedly defamed my internet connection by insisting it’s the cause of the problem. She said told me had a rock solid case right before the connection dropped.

@arbazkakkar5.bsky.social is a serial plagiarizer on Bluesky. Lately I saw him post something I remembered someone else posting earlier. Sure enough, exact same words. Then I started looking at his other posts. In a couple minutes I found two more instances. This shouldn't be tolerated, IMO

Whenever someone says, "I've been doing this since [YYYY]", it throws up a yellow flag to me. People who excel at what they do are more likely to list their accomplishments instead of telling you how long they've been doing it. Carville has been failing as a Democratic consultant for two decades.

Baba O’Really @babaohreally.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
Ever notice that when progressives score any wins that the first place the crybaby "expert Democratic consultant" goes is directly to Fox News to whine about them? Carville obviously knows who his real audience is.

He must be confusing the left with the right wing asshole terrorists who threatened to kill federal agents in 2014 if they tried to arrest Cliven Bundy for illegally grazing his cattle on public land. I remember when Republicans like Johnson praised these terrorists.

Nextdoor is Twitter for the Get Off My Lawn and Don’t Park In Front of My House crowd. My neighbor is one of them. I parked in front of his house just one time when contractors were doing work on my home. I left for 10 minutes to run an errand and this is what he did to the space while I was gone.
