Trump loves spending tax dollars to hurt people or to please himself. But helping people? That goes against his [im]moral code.

I enjoy watching some content on YouTube (not TikTok), but it seems like creators don't read books, or if they do read books, they're self-help books or books on making more money. What about expanding the mind through literature?

Don't Content Creators know we worry about them when they don't stick to their schedule?

Which will we get sick of first? Novels BY AI or novels ABOUT AI?

Trump is seeking to normalize Extortion in place of Diplomacy, which is how he conducted his business.

If we're bombing countries because they pose a threat to an ally now, maybe Russia should be our next target? Because, you know . . . unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, etc.

Donald Trump is at war with Iran, based on advice from a Fox News Host, apparently. Heard it on the Signal chat.

Trump can't even put on a decent fascist military parade without embarrassing himself.

Although I guess I'm happy for college athletes who may start getting paid (legally) this year, between that and the transfer portal, I'm finding that I have less and less interest in college sports (and none at all in pro sports).

Reminder: nothing Trump says is true.

Did you know that Trump nominated Herschel Walker to be the Ambassador to the Bahamas? Since the post has been vacant for 14 years, I don't see the Senate rushing to confirm him.

Indiana's governor is pushing Indiana Univ. to the right, which will damage its reputation and the value of the 2 graduate degrees I earned there. So, from now on, I'll be directing the annual donations I've been making to IU to other institutions more aligned with my values. #IndianaUniversity

Ukraine targets military installations and, specifically, aircraft. Meanwhile, Russia goes after hospitals and civilian targets in Ukraine. I know which side I'm on.

If we're getting rid of useless government employees, how about we start with Trump's cabinet? What a bunch of boneheads.

Blocking TACO Trump's tariff authority is absolutely the right decision. Well done. (I'm so grateful we have lawyers and courts to try at least to keep Trump's authoritarian tendencies in check.)

We will never get the National Debt under control if we don't a) raise taxes on the wealthy and b) drastically reduce military spending.

I don't mind killing the penny, but it absolutely should have been done by legislation, not by the dictator's decree.

Clifford Garstang @cliffgarstang.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

Why are there no consequences to the Trump administration's MANY constitutional violations? Blocking their actions through the courts isn't enough.

Trump is the worst human being of the 21st Century. That's quite an accomplishment.

Trump's budget in a nutshell: steal from poor, give to the rich.

So, Trump accepted the bribe that he solicited from Qatar. Doing it in plain sight does NOT make it legal.
