Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 07/10/2026In the aftermath of this administration there will be about a thousand investigations. Add to the list; the Burton PA assassination attempt. There’s something fishy in this and I want to know what. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It ain’t complicated; the best thing we can do for our economy is rebuild the middle class. The best way to start is roll back just about everything the republicans have been pushing for the last 40 years. 040
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I won’t say we’re past the point of non-violent solutions yet. But depending on what goes down during and after the election, we may soon be. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Not that I would encourage violence or anything, but y’know, if lynch mobs went after white men accused of rape today like they went after black men accused of rape in the early 20th century, we wouldn’t have a rape problem today. 020
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Last week I donated to the Talarico campaign. Yesterday I received not less than TWENTY texts from his campaign asking for more money. Gimme a break! This is not going to persuade me; if anything, it will have the opposite effect. I’m voting for him, but I’m not happy about it. 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In case you were wondering, the real winner in the ‘24 election wasn’t either party. It wasn’t even Trump. It was the billionaires. They were the real winners 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Internet lawyers: if someone gets a pardon, could they later be subpoenaed to testify about the crime for which they were pardoned? If so, can they still take the 5th? I mean, they can’t incriminate themselves if they already have a pardon, so does it still apply? 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I have read where various republican candidates are now trying to distance themselves from The Asshole. Good luck with that, guys! There ARE no republican politicians who are not MAGA loyalists anymore. Let The Asshole be their albatross! 120
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I want a government that doesn’t cause people on my feed to quote George Orwell so much. I want a government that doesn’t invite comparisons to the Third Reich. I really want to go back to boring government. 031
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The real test of anyone’s character is when life demands that they make a choice, without compromise, between what they know is right and what benefits them personally. 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I want to ask every potential candidate for the demmie nomination for president a question: “As fucked up as this country is going to be by the time you finally take office, do you really want this job, and why?” 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The oligarchs and their corporations are going to take us back to the days of the company store, company housing, and company doctors, where losing your job meant you were ruined. We can make the midterms the high-water mark. Get off yer ass and vote! 031
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Another way of looking at the National debt; instead of per capita, it’s 21.5% of everyone’s net worth. 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It’s odd- Trump is obviously influenced by Putin, but he attacked Iran, one of Putin’s very few allies. Why doesn’t Putin tell him to back off on Iran? 110
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The major networks need to reassure the American people that they will cease the WH press pool boycott and resume coverage immediately if he dies, resigns, or tells the truth. 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I want a president who will say in public “We absolutely must overturn Citizens United, and if it means expanding the court to do it, then so be it”. Then send a case to SCOTUS to overturn it and dare them to uphold. 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The most dreaded words a husband can hear from his wife are not “We have to talk”. It’s “I’m meeting with a decorator” 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 20/09/2026There’s a certain number of people in this country that don’t want democracy; they want power. And they don’t care how they get it 021
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I bought my first house in the late 70’s when I was single and I decorated it in a style best described as “contemporary yard sale and theft” 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Israel has the right to exist but does not have the right to commit genocide in order to destroy Hamas. Please note there is absolutely nothing about religion in the above statement. 3311530
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Look out, mofos! I am awake, alert, feeling strong, motivated and ready to go out and kick ass and chew bubble gum! OK, maybe I exaggerated a little. I’m awake. That’s it. 020
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 18/09/2026If the EU wants to impose economic sanctions to help Ukraine, they should pass sanctions on Trump! Hit him personally in the wallet until he resumes military aid to Ukraine. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I remember the Oil Embargo of ‘73. I know what gas lines and rationing looks like. In a few months, after we finish draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, y’all gonna know what it looks like, too. 021
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 17/09/2026When gas hits $5+/gal it’s going to do wonderful things for the sales of EVs. Pickups and SUV’s, not so much. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This may be unpopular but I don’t think Eric as stupid as we think. While Jr grifts and sucks up half the coke in Florida, Eric has been quietly running the Trump Organization. I haven’t seen major scandals or bankruptcies under him. He may be a lowlife crook, but he’s not as dumb as Trump. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 15/09/2026A few years ago, at my usual gas station, there was a guy who put the Biden “I did that” stickers on pumps, and sometimes rode past on his bicycle calling out “You like those Biden gas prices?” Ya know, I haven’t seen much of him lately. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 15/09/2026AI could potentially do a lot of damage to humans, but humans could still pull the plug on AI 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I’m guessing here, but I think the reason diesel has gone up so much is that refineries are using their crude to make more gasoline, at the expense of diesel and motor oil. A shortage of diesel leads to higher prices; a shortage of gas leads to panic 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I try to take care of myself. Gym 3x/wk. Lots of cardio from skydiving. I eat fairly healthy. I’ve cut my drinking to 2 days/wk. No drugs, no smoking. I have a goal in life. I am determined to live long enough to celebrate when It Happens. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I wish my mother could have seen the WNBA and our World Cup team. She played on a NC high school state championship team in 1942, when girls played half-court and high school was as high as the sport went. She was a passionate sports fan and we joked she didn’t sleep in the month of March. 040
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I’ve lived in Texas for all of Paxton’s career. I have never seen a headline about him that did not include the word “scandal” 040

Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 10/09/2026In addition to judges and congressmen, we need term limits and age limits on football sportscasters. Enough of these old guys! 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 09/09/2026For the last 45 years, the policy of the US government has been to transfer the wealth of the middle and working class to the richest few. It has been wildly successful. Trickle down economics, anti-union, and freezing the minimum wage are just parts of it. It’s death by 1,000 cuts. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I am amazed at the MAGA super-power to see when Trump is serious or not. He makes a wild statement, and they say “Oh, he’s not serious about that”. How do they know? He may be far enough gone to believe his lies about 9/11. He may be stupid/crazy enough to invade Greenland. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 08/09/2026An idea about stock buybacks: The amount of the buyback is split 3 ways: 1/3 to stockholders as a buyback 1/3 to the government as a special tax 1/3 to the company’s non-managerial workers. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I predict that in the first 2 weeks after the mid-terms, the DOJ will file a crap-ton of lawsuits challenging the results of elections, particularly where a seat is flipped to the demmies. They will try to prevent democrats from taking office for as long as possible. (See also: Al Franken) 121
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 08/09/2026#F1 To win a GP takes a driver, car, crew, tactics, and sometimes a helping of dumb luck. Kimi got a break with a fortuitous VSP, allowing him to get fresh tires without losing too much time. He still had to make up 13 seconds in 26 laps (wow!), but that’s better than trying to make up 24 seconds 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 07/09/2026On Labor Day I offer my belief on our economy Our economy is at its best when we have a large, robust middle class, happily working and consuming away. And a robust middle class is not a free-market solution. It’s a result of unions and laws. 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 07/09/2026When you have the option to purchase or not, it is considered a sale. When you have no option, it is considered a tax. Therefore, I submit that Girl Scout cookies are a form of tax. What? You’re not going to buy when she’s at your door? 000
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 04/09/2026“Should men be playing in women’s sports?” It’s this year’s GOP gotcha question. Last year it was “What is a woman?” The Demmies’ gotcha question for this year is “Who won in 2020?” I think a better one would be “Should the Epstein files be released?” 110
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 04/09/2026City councilmen should consider that the Flock cameras allow the cops to track them, too. They all have decisions and interactions with the cops. Flock lets the cops track every move of anyone that votes against the cops’ interests. That’s a powerful political tool. 020
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Flock cameras probably wouldn’t be so bad if the pigs had to get a judicial warrant, like a search warrant, every time they wanted to use them. As it is, the damage from abuse is more than any benefit from its utility. 020
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 03/09/2026My politically-active neighbor is hosting the demmie congressional candidate tonight. Last time they did this was for school board candidates. I went and I donated, and the candidates all won! I will donate tonight and hope the pattern repeats. 010
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 03/09/2026For those who say Democratic Socialism is so unfair to the rich, I say to you what the rich have been saying to us for generations: “Life isn’t fair. Get used to it” 020
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Under Texas law, every county is limited to one ballot drop box. Harris County encompasses all of Houston; 60+ miles in diameter with a population of over 4 million. One drop box. This is voter suppression. 020
Gonzo in Houston @gonzoinhouston.bsky.social · 03/09/2026On J6, Trump sent a violent mob to the Capitol to try to prevent the counting of electoral votes. If he believes a demmie House would impeach him, what will he do to prevent the new members from taking office? Another mob? ICE? Active-duty troops? 000
