Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 07/08/2026In 77 years I’ve heard many buzzwords from the reactionary right (oops! that may be a buzzword in its own right): commie sympathizer, pinko, CRT, death panels, unAmerican, woke, “socialized medicine”…an endless list. What I never hear from that sector is WHAT they’re going to do to make lives better 211

A common Ronald Reagan ‘joke’: The 9 most terrifying words in the English language: “I'm from the Government, & I'm here to help” Donald Trump Jan. 13, 2026: “Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - HELP IS ON ITS WAY” 020
Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I live on the U.S. mainland, as far from Maine as possible. I hope that in Trumps final 2 years he’ll have a Senate that will negate his replacement of Alito or Thomas with a younger carbon copy. But! Platner should not be a part of that equation. Do better Maine Democrats! P.s. Bernie is not a (D) 020
Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Fact: Lee H. Oswald attempted to assassinate former Army Major General Edwin Walker 4/63 in Dallas - 7 months b4 the JFK assassination. Walker was an anti-communist, ultra-conservative (he’d be a Trumper today). Oswald saw Walker as a fascist. Oswald used the same Carcano rifle he later used on JFK 020
Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 28/04/2026New screening question for DOJ prospects (or potential SCOTUS nominees): Which is worse in the eyes of the Law: a) hollering “Hang Mike Pence” outside the U.S. Capitol or b.) posting a picture of seashells seen on a beach walk that read “8647”? Hint: one the above will garner a Presidential Pardon 030
Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Ceasefire warms the belly of Dow dummies… But I gotta ask: who amongst the clarity of thought sector (i.e. those who ‘get it’) would rely on: a.) Trump b.) the Iranian Government or c.) Pete Hegseth - as a basis for their Financial/Future/Investment decisions? Up for a Game of “Spot The Looney” 000
Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 08/04/2026The reality TV audience (me included) 'luvs' a cliffhanger. I'm doubtful that Humanity (the World's population) feels the same when it come to real life. Trump's insane game-show approach to matters of life & death (i.e. Iran) are NOT clever. They are repugnant & reveal that he is a very sick man 000
Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 11/01/2026The talking points from the Trump-Vance-Noem Axis of Evil: "She was a radical zealot who committed domestic terrorism" She was an “agitator” and part of a broader .... network. As a "domestic terrorist" her death was "of her own making." Renee Good or Ashley Babbitt? 050
Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 10/12/2025John Kelly's 2020 words about Trump bear themselves out, as true, every day: The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life 040
Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 10/11/2025The only guaranteed way to achieve the goals of the loyal American #DoNotCave coalition is to reach a majority D Congress w a D Prez. None of that exists at present. It’s a shitty hand to be dealt, but the fact is Trump/Thune/Johnson are in positions of power. Voters can change that. But not today 150
Rick Elston @clementebucs.bsky.social · 19/10/2025I heard that “A statewide caravan” as part of the recall Gov. Kotek movement (from “counties across Oregon”) would meet Oct 18 at the Oregon State Capitol. 1958 (2nd Grade) I learned that Oregon has 36 Counties & I also ‘learnt’ me some ‘rithmetic. Sounds like about 3 people per county showed up. 170
