Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Believing this would be a terrible mistake. They lie to get elected, lie when they are in office, and lie to remain there. Under Trump, lie, cheat and steal is the political ideology of the GOP and getting rid of all of them at the ballot box is the only thing that’s going to save our democracy. 120
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Don’t buy this from Collins. She’s being used as a pawn, getting the go-ahead from Republicans to now oppose Trump policies to gain votes in November. If reelected, she’ll go back to being the Trump toadie she’s always been. 050
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 21/08/2026SCOTUS continues to show its corrupt deference to Trump. This time they’ve employed their favorite “kick the can down the road” approach, knowing full well that, by they time they’ve “deliberated” on this, it’ll be past the practical point of no return — as Trump’s legal team has argued. 030
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 17/07/2026It's climate change. And, if you continue to allow your fossil fuel buddies to profit by destroying our planet, all the "forest management and debris removal" your foolish tariff money could buy isn't going to help. 050
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 30/06/2026The fact that the Supreme Court even chose to hear arguments about a right guaranteed by the Constitution with precedent in a ruling over 125 years ago, and three justices agreed to ignore this with their votes, shows how broken and corrupt the Court has become. 030
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Worked for many years at Wang Labs in sales and marketing. His word processors were so popular they basically sold themselves. Dr. Wang was brilliant and demanded a lot from his employees but was a fair and generous person. 0221
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Platner was a questionable senate candidate before these accusations surfaced. If democratic leadership in Maine continues to support this guy, they'll get and deserve six more years of the insufferable Susan Collins as a result. 000
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 26/05/2026"Based on what I've heard" is as likely to be followed by a big fat lie as "A guy came up to me with tears in his eyes and said, sir,..." is. 031
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 23/04/2026They're wrong on both of the examples. 100 to 600 is a 500% increase. Other posters have correctly mentioned the decrease is 83%. RFK obviously missed the percentages class at Harvard. I'm guessing Trump agreed because he was daydreaming about the ballroom. 020
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 18/03/2026I voted for you -- and have some advice. Stop stating the obvious in your posts and tell your constituents what your doing to help fix the problems. Traveling around the state and commiserating with Granite Staters about heathcare, housing, inflation, etc. isn't what I expected from you. 000
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 25/01/2026As if incessant lying isn't a bad enough character trait, she's too dumb or lazy, or both, to make her lies seem the least bit plausible. 000
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Trump's post is a textbook example of narcissistic psychopathy. In saner times he'd be institutionalized. 000
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Leavitt is embarrassing. She stands there pretending she's providing the press with detail around the administration's actions, but all she really does is cover up lies with more lies in a smarmy, flippant sort of way. 051
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Whenever I see these incomprehensible pardons, my first thought is "What's in it for Trump?" Every move he makes is for his own personal benefit -- more money, more votes, more adulation, more retribution, etc. 190
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Once this Trump nightmare (hopefully...) ends, I promise to contribute to any fund whose goal is to tear down this monstrosity and return the WH to the way our founders envisioned. 060
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 20/10/2025Damn. "He's just joking and having fun" was Number 2 on my list of BS answers Johnson would respond with to the pooping question. Thought sure he'd invoke the "This is what you want to talk about when left wing terrorists are destroying America?" BS. 260
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Witkoff would likely support handing over Quebec to France because, you know, most Quebec citizens speak French. 110
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Absolutely true. He reliably nods off at events where he's only a participant but can sit at attention through lengthy cabinet meetings where everyone's goal is to be the top suckup for the day. 000
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 12/09/2025For WSJ the rush to get eyeballs on a story is more important than its veracity. Retractions are morally cleansing -- their lazy and sloppy reporting gets corrected for the record. But the damage is done as people looking for info to confirm existing biases have already spread the lie far and wide. 100
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Johnson has now reached the Karoline Leavitt level of lying and deflection. 000
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 04/09/2025At its essence, people in high federal government positions who make idiotic statements like this should be forced to resign. That would be the best way to "empower Americans." 010
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 29/08/2025As usual, everything out of Miller's mouth is a lie. Kennedy's not a health expert. The credible people at the CDC are leaving because he's clueless and a threat to public health. The studies he cites to support his wacky views show he has no understanding or respect for the scientific method. 0320
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Yeah, I'm going to take medical advice from a guy, with degrees in American history and law, diagnosing kids with mitochondrial disease on first sight while walking through airports. 021
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 03/08/2025Don't buy her "I was cheated" sob story. Saying that Alaska was getting a special concession on wind/solar projects to justify voting for the big, ugly bill and then blaming "somebody" for the concession going away was always the plan. She's a MAGA cult member, slavishly doing Trump's bidding. 000
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Let's just admit what's become obvious: The Supreme Court is part of the executive branch of the US government. 001
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Condemnation of Israel's attack is certainly now warranted since the experts on "unprovoked aggression" have chimed in. 000
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 23/05/2025The failure of interviewers to not call out or follow up on his obvious lies is so infuriating. The notion of courtesy and respect for the person who holds the office of president is null and void when that person's comments are a continuous stream of nonsense and untruths. 030
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 11/05/2025Trump has been fixated on a Mar-a-Lago version of AF1 for years. Would bet Bondi and her stooges have been working on a way to justify this since Jan 20th. Doubt that Qatar is providing it for "free." Receiving personal gifts and favors for influence is the only kind of deal that Trump is good at. 051
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 08/05/2025When history books are written about the downfall of democracy in America, Roberts should get his own chapter. The ultimate enforcer of our constitution failed us, and no amount of backfilling about "independent judiciaries" checking presidential excesses can undo what he and his cronies have done. 020
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 01/05/2025This is an absolute lie, and it doesn’t take a degree in immunology to find information that proves it’s a lie. This guy is an ignoramus and should NOT be anywhere near US health policy, let alone in charge of it. 533026
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 30/04/2025Trump, thanks to Senate confirmations, has surrounded himself with cabinet member toadies who have no equal. The highlight of his day is having a love-in cabinet meeting where the main goal of attendees is to see who can ingratiate themselves the most. 010
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 30/04/2025This is where we’re at. A president using his power to overtly demand an interviewer agree to a blatant lie he has repeatedly told. The message is clear: The truth is whatever Trump says it is, and questioning that “truth” means you’re unqualified, a fake newser, disrespectful or just plain nasty. 040
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Every word out of Leavitt’s mouth is pure idiotic nonsense. The “buy American” line, given that a huge portion of the products Amazon customers purchase are not made in America, is foolishness. And the idea that they will be in the future shows complete ignorance of how global economies work. 010
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 28/04/2025If he thinks Trump will even see/read, let alone act on, the “very strong letter,“ he’s more out of touch with what’s going on than anyone could imagine. This is not Democrats vs. Republicans quibbling over legislation. It’s democracy vs. oligarchy. 030
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 28/04/2025Must read from HCR. While the media focus on the cruelty, lawlessness and ineptitude of Trump’s administration, the corruption, bribery and graft going on behind the scenes is mind boggling. 020
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 19/04/2025We need to stop calling Alito and Thomas Supreme Court justices. They're political hacks who have sold their souls for money and favors. 0314
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 17/04/2025They're people given power, influence and media access they haven't earned and don't deserve. They lie. Then they lie to cover up the prior lie, and the process repeats over and over. Creating chaos and confusion by flooding the media with a never-ending stream of lies is the MAGA way. 030
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 15/04/2025You knew this was coming. And, as usual, he telegraphed that it's a lie by referencing "sir." This is nonsense on so many levels but will make its way into any public speaking he does for the foreseeable future. 1521
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 15/04/2025A must read. DOGE is doing a lot more than hunting for "fraud and abuse," and the implications of their actions should scare all Americans. 030
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 11/04/2025This guy's mentally ill and should be nowhere close to people in power -- particularly powerful people who are also mentally ill. 170
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Might have to retract my “lazy” excuse for Golden’s behavior and admit he’s been a MAGA cult member disguised as a Democrat from day 1… 181
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Hard to believe Maine democrats elected this guy. He's obviously joined the MAGA cult and given up any semblance of the progressive political thinking and action we need to help save our democracy. I hope Mainers remember this in 2026. 071
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Hey, Congressman Golden. Before you cast a vote, maybe you ought to fully consider the ramifications of your choice. SAVE legislation will likely lead to more voter suppression than protecting voters’ rights. Your flag-waving, right-to-vote, “simple” explanation is lazy thinking and lazy politics. 642326
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 04/04/2025A really vile human form who doesn't have to personally worry about economic pain. This "short-term pain, long-term gain" nonsense is now the talking point for Trump's cult to explain the tanked economy. Expect to see it repeated in various forms on Fox News and the other right wing media. 010
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Invoking "the end justifies the means" argument here, where Trump and his DOJ get the public to focus on how successful the "end" was, is how they're covering up their law breaking. It's like saying "we made America safer" deporting these bad people even though we had to break a few laws to do it. 010
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Leavitt's lying and obsequiousness is quickly pushing her up the charts as the worse Trump press secretary ever. Look out Hucka-Sanders! 020
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Comer believes that, if you talk in a loud voice and interrupt the person speaking incessantly, no one will realize you're a clueless, empty suit. 2172
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 25/03/2025What's also distressing is these juveniles act like the action they're taking is a video game. Texting victory emojis, congratulating themselves, etc. without any realization that attacking and killing people, regardless of their misdeeds or allegiance, is serious business with serious consequences 280
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 24/03/2025He forgot to add "with tears in their eyes" after referencing that many people called to complain. He's totally enamored with the trappings of being president. The work? Not so much. 070
Angus @chas88.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Michigan swing voters: Maybe if you had spent some time and energy to become a truly informed citizen, which our democracy assumes when you enter the voting booth, you wouldn't be so remorseful. You lazily bought into all the lies and misinformation. Sadly, we all now have to live with your mistake. 030
