Devastating response and to think he poured over maps, consulted the Bible and asked for guidance from above to come up with this. Bless his heart, indeed.

Another effer spewing drivel for clicks. It's become so easy to be a bigot which is probably one of the worst things Trump has wrought: it is OK to condemn an entire group of people for the act of one. America used to shame people like Emmer for their words. Maybe we'll get back to that place again.

This is just another indication that Tucker has no ideology other than a blabbing mouth that spews noxious and ignorant vapor for clicks and headlines. He doesn't have enough integrity to earn the label Nazi.

Cynicism, whataboutism, failure to understand the binary nature of elections, the idea we have to fall in love with candidates, detachment from the real life consequences of political choices and apathy is what got us here. The results stand before us daily. Voting can change this overnight.

I agree. If you really want to read some compelling arguments on this, I recommend Kristopher Ealy who writes on Substack and is a professor at Cal State Fullerton. Verbose, funny and profound, elections are his passion. He regularly writes about the idea of elections as binary. Highly recommended.

The professional election grifter speaks. I'll bet a large part of her income is a result of her worthless campaigns for President. Proof positive of W.C. Fields maxin that a sucker is born every minute.

I resent the comment about IT which was my career for 33 years. We are way crazier than a mere "furries" fetish but only slightly crazier than Air Traffic Controllers.

She rarely let ideology interfere with progress. This is an extraordinary woman with common sense and good judgement. She is respected and liked by her colleagues. As for voters, we will have to see. I believe she will have some obstacles to overcome but she is savvy and smart. She'll do it.

I think there are more than a few voters that need to be sold and I disagree that her opponents are Democratic politicians. She showed her worth as a team player under Biden. She impressed virtually all of them with her ability to advocate for her views while working with congressional leaders.

They never have back into the 60s. Bernie wouldn't have won even if they had showed up so there is that. They won't show up for this mid-term election either. Nevertheless, we should take the House and Senate w/o them. The difference will be the independents and non-college Dems who do vote.

I'd like to see Whitmer (She is the only woman who proved at the polls that she could compete with men) in this group but she is apparently done with politics. My own opinion is that our next President will be one of these. Kamala's time, fairly or unfairly, has passed. We shall see what develops.

DemtotheBone @demtothebone.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
The Senate should be her destination for now. Enhance her reputation there and as the electorate changes, she may get her chance. She is a sharp and natural political operator and along with Ossoff, Beshear, Pritzker, Buttigieg, Moore, Kelly, Shapiro, Gallego and, if he gets elected, Talarico.

AOC, as I have said for some time, should go up against Schumer. Sadly, we are not ready for a woman as President and secondarily her politics are toxic to large swaths of America (unfairly, I think because as a legislator she was more than ready to find common ground with other Democrats).

Sorry, Cleta. The 26th amendment says no. If they are considered full adults at 18, they get a say in it all not just what your politics thinks is convenient.

Hey, Lisa. Fellow Westsider here. You need to show the pump price. I paid $6.19 at Arco (usually the lowest in town) in West LA/Venice today. Thanks, Donald. The upside is that you did this just before the midterms. The very stable genius strikes again.

What an uninsightful and logically unsound comment. You won't get any questions because you have made a false comparison along with a straw man argument which gets you were? Stop philosophizing, suck it up and vote for your local Democrat. Elections are not about feelings. They are about power.

This is another lesson in everything that Trump touches dies. She's despicable but better late than never. Me, I'll take the help to push his ass closer to the abyss.

I agree with no moving on and no quarter under the next Democratic President. The corruption, the self-dealing, the violations of Federal law and all the other behaviors of this lawless administration need to be prosecuted. The Supremes won't let us touch Trump but we can get everybody else.

DemtotheBone @demtothebone.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Nice thought but the new 26-28 Congress can't do any of this. They can investigate, deny funding (which they surely will do) and impeach all of Trump's cabinet (also very likely) but we must have the Presidency to put people in jail. That's why Trump's successor is so important.

Federal law requires you to ID yourself (which keeps dark money away) but your name will not go on the party donor list.

DemtotheBone @demtothebone.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
If you want to contribute to the Democratic Party or a particular candidate, go back to ActBlue, do not create an account and make a one-time donation to the party in general or to your preferred candidate.

DemtotheBone @demtothebone.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
The candidates respect this although on a couple of occasions I received second set of requests probably because my name was on an old list. Unsubscribe again. This will stop all communication (eventually).
100
DemtotheBone @demtothebone.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
I literally got ten to twenty soliciations a day for months. Here is how you deal with it: remove your name from ActBlue by closing your account. The next part takes weeks: unsubscribe from every text or email you receive from any campaign regardless of who it is from.
100
DemtotheBone @demtothebone.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
ACTBlue: this whole idea needs to be rethought. Yes, every Democrat who requests their list, gets it. The problem is they all only see their own campaign and do not realize (or possibly care) that individual Democrats are email and text bombed from every blue politician in the country.

I guess clubby racism and xenophobia is a thing among certain groups of the entitled middle class. Shame on her because her surname indicates her family is probably Irish and we know how that group struggled to assimilate after their arrival. But that's history and why remember the unpleasantness.

1st: A robot may not injure a human or allow them to come to harm through inaction. 2nd: A robot must obey human orders, unless they conflict with the First Law. 3rd: A robot must protect its own existence, provided it doesn't conflict with the First or Second Law. Hmmm. Certainly a place to start.

I think it's time to rumage the pages of classic science fiction for some guidance about AI. Let's start with Issac Asimov author of over 500 books and SciFi classics like Foundation, Nightfall and I, Robot. In the latter, he introduced The 3 Laws of Robotics:

This pitiful plea of a loser president to a worthless audience is barely even worth reporting. He's flailing and has no way out. Nevertheless, his statement and threat was widely reported by virtually all media traditional and alternative. You want to make your case, you need a better example.

If she's lucky, MSNOW or another network won't create a news magazine show with first rate talent and carry the flag for the format. Maybe Dateline can retool from personal horror stories. It was stupid move driven by Trump and will age like milk left out in the sun for days.

DemtotheBone @demtothebone.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
They'll split off CBS. Fire Bari. Someone will buy it (if there is anything left) and the network may recover. There is no market for what she wants to sell. Fox already holds down the right so there is no room there. NBC, ABC, Netflix and other streaming platforms will leave them in the dust.

DemtotheBone @demtothebone.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Jon: of course, you will. Bari Weiss is going to fail miserably. She is going to destroy the CBS brand, the news division, entertainment and everything else she touches. Then the political winds will change, the Ellisons will get bored, tire of losing money and their attention will wander elsewhere.

Ah, but some people in my party find it easier to attack its leadership rather than Republicans. This in the face of the most corrupt administration in our history. Let's win and then have a discussion about why a circular firing squad is not productive and recognize differing POV is our strength.

The Rockford Files are available on Prime. Do not forget his movies: The Great Escape, Murphy's Romance, Victor/Victoria, Support your Local Sheriff, Barbarians at the Gate... Yes, James Garner in his movies, TV shows and in real life was the kind of man that every man should want to be.

DemtotheBone @demtothebone.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Easy going, smart, loyal to his friends, kind, respectful of women & a fighter for the underdog, he was Rockford by all accounts. He was a man to emulate, a reluctant hero and all-around good guy. No Dirty Harry here. I never drive through Malibu without thinking of him.

Paul: during a particularly rough time in my life, I watched an episode of the The Rockford Files virtually every night for a couple of years. Over time, I saw all 123 episodes and the 8 movies. This was a detective show like no other. The uniqueness was the real personality of James Garner.

We'll be back. This area is so stunning it should be a national park. We spent parts of three days there and we only scratched the surface. Trump's plan to lease and mine it would be a crime. Will post some photos tomorrow so you'll get a sense of what's at risk. What he can't control, he destroys.

Shout-out to Steeltoetruth defending Bears Ears today. I had the pleasure of visiting there in April. Miles of red sandstone cliffs, multicolored table mesas, stunning views of a Monument Valley like landscape. Clear streams and green meadows. Amazing rock formations. Undeveloped but accessible.

Why would they have to say that. It's a given. I further suggest defunding all his projects and departments along with pulling the purse strings on his executive expenditures so tight he'll have to ask Congress to go to McDonald's.

No administration has ever been able to stop non-classified leaks especially those that generate as much hate and disdain as Trumps. Hell, several publications are literally advertising for information. "Tell what you know" is prominently displayed on their front pages.

You all realize that lie detector tests are complete bullshit despite what its advocates say. There is just no evidence they work and I would be surprised if the administration doesn't know this. So, what we have here is just more intimidation.
