I am assuming that makeup, hair, and at least some of the cosmetic surgery (surely more than one) is her choice, yes. Why give all that a pass but be confident about her agency ("a ghoul" no less!) otherwise? Also, do you have similar concerns about ppl mocking weird vanity of Trump, Musk, etc.?

And neither has done to themselves, presumably willingly, what this woman has. Also, I'm equally happy to dunk on the ridiculous appearance of Trump, Musk, RFK Jr ... These people are obsessed contortionists, no matter the gender.

It will be decades for everything to be revealed, if even then. I hope lots of people will talk when they feel safe to do so. There is so very much...

I'd rather he back as lead prosecutor. My pick is AG Sally Yates, who then appoints Smith. Let her wrangle the whole of Justice (huge job and needs a lot of attention) while letting him run the team(s) that prosecute(s).

Well, they lie! And the oligarchs help, funneling huge amounts of money to disinfo. Prev talk radio, Fox "News", Dark Money. Even to Russia meddling in online spaces. There just isn't anything like it for the left (and for good reason, in many cases). Unfair and so hard to counter. Tough problem.

Okay but imagine him instead of Schumer or Gillibrand, each of whom hold outsized power in the US Senate. That’s substantial.

She got appointed to that seat and so has never really faced a serious state-wide primary. Once in, always ran as incumbent, no real challengers. I don't think voters have had much choice (except to pick whoever runs as R, which wouldn't be better either). It's a shame.

She’s always been like this, just fooled too many people. I don’t think bribes or threats against her are involved. She’s IN that world, not afraid of it.

She had them for that reason (IMO) - attempt to soften her own penalty. Really messed up person. (But also totally responsible for all harms inflicted on others.)

He was my senator and boy do I understand such wishing. It's just all no longer even wish-able. I can wish for her to no longer be in a position of power. How that changes and who takes her place will be someone else, though. (Can't happen soon enough, IMO!)

He lives in NYS but he's not going to challenge her (and she's not up for years anyway).

Cabin Loon @cabinloon.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Gillibrand was appointed to that Senate seat and thus always had benefit of being "incumbent" ever after. Has anybody ever challenged her? Makes it hard to blame the voters when they don't have any choice (except to vote Republican and I wouldn't rather they did that, either).

And all the rest of us deserve better, too, given the outside power those two have! (He is caucus leader and he put her in charge of the DSCC. Way too much NYS concentration of power. They both irritate the heck out of me.)

And in fact Harris did better than many (most? I forget) incumbent parties worldwide. It was anti-incumbent everywhere, switching both directions (right<->left), didn't matter which was in charge. But punditry couldn't bring themselves to see that and instead read it too much as Trump's popularity.

IIRC, anxiety is one of the accepted underlying conditions. I have anxiety (in general) but definitely exacerbated by the possibility of getting covid (not an exaggeration, just adds to my always present reluctance to get out into the world, and I don't need that). So there.

@wilhelmusjanus.bsky.social Funny to watch her proclaim principles ("Even when they suck, we shouldn't treat people like criminals just for giggles.") given I watched her post flat-out falsehoods about Franken allegations and when I replied she blocked me rather than revisit/correct. She's sloppy.

I'll never not be amazed that people pay him for his random thoughts. I mean, non-rigorous takes (even many of his) are plentiful for free.

Or test when they felt ill, or if they did, to then stay away from others until they tested negative. These steps aren't all that hard, they just require some diligence and some basic concern for other people.

Any man behaving exactly the same way would deserve to be mocked, for that very reason - the power she has and the bubble she creates for Trump. It's a big deal and she shouldn't be given a pass just because she's female - talk about sexism! (The women around Trump get WAY too many passes as it is.)

If it were only some side salacious thing! The thing with Harp is that she seems to be the curator, the gatekeeper, of all he knows. He trusts her in ways he doesn't trust others. It's a crazy powerful position which endangers all of us. I mean, he's beyond stupid, but w/her, even MORE ignorant.
