Power can attract corruption, but “every last one is corrupt” is just an overreach. Reality is more mixed than that.

I get the frustration—there’s plenty in politics that earns cynicism. I just don’t think giving up on differences between people and policies helps fix it.

Norm & Hondo @bigjoss.bsky.social · 15/04/2026
Healthy skepticism is fair. But saying no one in politics can be trusted goes too far and doesn’t match reality—there are real policy differences and accountability matters.

That’s just stereotyping—same logic as saying any group only acts in its own interest. Reality’s more complicated than that

Those are real issues, but its been ongoing for decades under multiple govs. Clean water advisories, Grassy Narrows, MMIWG2S+—none of these started recently, and none have been solved by any party so far. Pointing to them as proof of what this government will do isn’t analysis, it’s assumption

You didn’t actually address what I said. There’s a difference between criticizing flaws in a system and writing the whole thing off as pointless. One is analysis, the other is just defeatism.

Being wealthy isn’t a policy. Judge what they do in office, not how much money they had before it. Otherwise you’re just guessing outcomes based on stereotypes, not reality.

Norm & Hondo @bigjoss.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
That’s a very broad brush. Criticizing the system is fair, but saying all politicians are the same and democracy isn’t real just turns into cynicism rather than analysis.

Norm & Hondo @bigjoss.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
That’s a lot of conclusions built on very little evidence. Some industry focus and spending restraint got turned into “they’ll gut everything,” which just isn’t supported. Majority government isn’t unlimited power either. This is more spin than reality.

Yes. He’s speedrunning global chaos on expert mode, no tutorial, no strategy guide, just vibes and bad decisions. Lol

Trump: “We will blockade what’s already blockaded.” Iran: “We already control the Strait of Hormuz—and the world will pay for it.” From “Mexico will pay for the wall” to “America will pay for the blockade”—same script, different delusion.

Trump’s “2-week pause” is pure recklessness. He’s treating human lives like props in his ego-driven show, threatening war one moment and pretending to negotiate the next. There’s nothing strategic here—just chaos, danger, and political stuntmanship

When the world’s biggest superpower is led by someone whose words and decisions ignite conflict and fear abroad, in my opinion, you can call him what he is: the most dangerous man alive today.

Even Mueller’s worst move in his entire life would still look like a masterstroke next to Trump’s “best.” Mueller never faked bone spurs. Trump… did.

I didn’t even meet them, just one picture and I was like: “Yep… that’s Miles. And that one? Definitely Jet.” Some cats you name… these two appear to come pre-labeled 🐾 lol

Netanyahu seems to have easily pulled “the fool” Trump into attacking Iran. Now Israel is already pushing beyond Iran, and things look grim. Trump now pressuring other countries to line up behind U.S. This has all the signs of a global mess, with Trump acting more like a puppet than a leader.

RFK Jr.’s ideas are dangerous and completely detached from reality. Honestly, he’s more suited for a free ride in a straitjacket. lol

Mike Lindell is a business genius: Makes $10 profit per book. Buys his own book for $15. Decides he “owes himself” $5… but since he doesn’t have to pay himself, the books are basically free. Wall Street hates this one weird trick. 🤡

This is what “law and order” looks like under Trump: ignore the victims, protect the powerful, call it justice. When survivors raise their hands and "it" can’t even raise her eyes, that’s cowardice in a suit. You have no business running anything public.

Walked past the produce section yesterday: Canadian, Mexican, and other apples flying off the shelves, while the half-price US apples just sat there. Guess who’s to blame? Fuck Trump! 🍎

Yes, I saw that — the headline was pushing it a bit, lol. Still, I could see a major shift in NATO at some point. Hard not to think it’s all because a majority of Americans decided a convicted felon with the full powers of the presidency was a better choice than a Black woman.

Reality: it’s a negotiated shift of leadership roles to European allies — the U.S. still holds SACEUR and major component commands. That’s burden-sharing, not a purge. Context matters.

boiled down to a lot of the political and legal gridlock because people in power are protecting themselves, their allies, and their careers.

Let’s be honest — nothing is going to make Trump resign. He has no shame, no accountability, and no intention of leaving voluntarily -- And why would he? The White House has become a criminal enterprise with built-in immunity.

Certain politicians would be thrilled for the Epstein files to come out — not for transparency, but for the spotlight. In today’s politics, outrage is currency

Isn’t he the Flat Earth guy? Or is that next week’s rollout? I can’t keep up — new theory every episode. Soon it’ll be oxygen is optional, gravity is suspicious, and clouds are part of a federal pilot project. I’m bracing for the press release

We (Canadians) should host a grand opening ceremony, invite the billionaire and Trump, and the moment they cut the ribbon… accidentally send them tumbling. Totally within the bounds of Canadian civil law… probably. 🏒💪🇨🇦

The details get blurry, but the principle is simple: think before sharing, don’t spread hate. The rest? Let the people we pay handle it.
010
Norm & Hondo @bigjoss.bsky.social · 12/02/2026
It starts with us. Before blaming leaders or platforms, ask yourself: Should I share this? Is it true? Am I spreading hate? Then push our leaders to act—they work for us, after all.
