So. Trump-aligned sheriff loses at California Supreme Court over 650,000 ballots he seized "What’s less clear is whether Bianco faces any further legal exposure for the seizure itself" No. The Sheriff will NOT face any consequences for his blatantly illegal action. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

So. Amazingly, it wasn't one of my comments that has brought about the bsky armageddon. No. It was whether or not you could/should take coffee into an interview. 🤦‍♂️ I have failed. I'm so disappointed.

So. This. "but union workers seem to manage" My brother was part of a union. Yes, his pay and benefits reflected that as he was better off than most. When they went on strike, he had to have built up and live off of his savings during that strike, though. THAT is how "they manage".

So. SC told MO they can't use the new gerrymandered map while telling Trump and all states they could use their voter verification data to purge voter rolls NATIONWIDE. What a win that is! 🤦‍♂️ www.msn.com/en-us/news/o... www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

So. $1500 vehicle repair bill. Over $1000 of that was labor charge. Just woke up and checked the vehicle. It's leaking anti-freeze (the repair replaced water pump). I have to drive out of state for surgery Mon afternoon. It's SO good to be me! 🤦‍♂️

So. Another "It's all men until women are safe" poster blocked. I can't, couldn't and didn't, "protect" all women from men assaulting them. I did ensure one woman got home safely after she got blackout drunk while 6 or 7 guys were openly talking about SAing her AS A GROUP.

So. The part many missed in this... "Pork, beef and goat..." It's not JUST beef anymore people. ANY food is now going to be suspect. Beef. Pork. Chicken. Processed foods. Popsicles. The list goes on and on. ANY food you consume. Because no more regulations to make it safe. Just greed.

So. You ever wonder what the French did during the years they were starving? Did they march in front of the palace with signs? Have arguments with neighbors over whether or not the King was ACTUALLY to blame? You know, before they realized they only had one way out and stormed the castle.

So. This reminds me of a story my father told us about why he decided to retire from the Navy as a Senior Chief (E-8) when they offered him E-9 on a silver platter to reup once again. He was in charge of the shop on Guam that repaired aircraft and the manufacturer wouldn't send him the parts.

So. The funniest part of that exchange? "The fact that you don’t get there are millions of people who think maga is a tiny subset of the Republican Party is fucking wild." Those millions are MAGAts who don't want to be called MAGAts. It hurt their feefees. Even cited a poll of MAGAts as proof!

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

So. What does this mean? I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Corp-Dems campaign on lies when they aren't openly spouting MAGA rhetoric and when elected, because MAGA sucks, F people over for donor cash. People don't want to vote for that anymore. They aren't voting MAGA, either.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

So. This was asked... "If the dems don't impeach and convict trump and his entire administration, then please explain to me exactly what the benefit of having a majority in the house and senate is?" This was a response. Let's break this down for people.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

So. "but he can't doooo thatttt..." Yes. He can. He's doing it. Rules. Laws. Only mean something if one of two things are true: 1) EVERYBODY agrees to follow them, 2) Everybody is FORCED to follow them lest they receive consequences. When NEITHER are true, rules and laws mean NOTHING.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

So. Many posts of, "A judge ordered..." Also many posts of, "(insert) refuses to (insert) in violation of court orders..." And what isn't posted? "(insert) faces (accountability action) for violating court order..." If there is no accountability, OF COURSE they simply ignore the court order.

So. Note to self: stop buying huge honking pork roasts. Bought a new crock pot due to the low temp on the old one seeming to be on the fritz. Bought huge pork roast. Had to cut up pork roast to get it to fit into crock pot. Like, it's stuffed in there. Tight. Who knew? 🤷‍♂️

So. For those who didn't catch it, authored by Maria Shriver. You know, ex-wife of Arnold, former GOP CA Gov... Then dated Mathew Dowd, strategist for Bush/Cheney '04 campaign... Because being GOP was FINE... the racism, bigotry, hatred of minorities, Gov's wife... but NOW there's a problem!

So. About this. '08. Obama/Dems F women over on Freedom of Choice Act. '20. Biden/Dems take no action on FoC Act. '22. MAGA wins House and SC reverses Roe v Wade. But SURE... THIS time Dems won't F people over when given power! It was only 8 Sen Dems that voted down Fed Min Wage increase. 🤷‍♂️

So. The state of Dr's and healthcare today. Dr: Get this glaucoma surgery and we'll get you off the eye drops. Surgery gets scheduled then cancelled. Same Dr after when asked about other procedures done by another Dr: Well, you'll NEVER be 100% off the eye drops even after glaucoma surgery. 🤦‍♂️

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

So. People. This isn't buyer's remorse. This isn't a spiritual awakening. This is "OMG you're hurting ME and I voted to hurt THOSE PEOPLE!" That's it. Nothing more. These people WILL vote MAGA in the next election and continue to do so. They WILL cry AGAIN when they get hurt AGAIN.

So. Surgery #1 done. Now let's just hope that going for surgery #2 my vehicle doesn't shit the brick again requiring 2k in repairs and it isn't a horrible of an experience as surgery #1. Anesthesiologist's suck.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

So. Watching people here acting like everything Trump is doing is something that's new. It's not. It's that under Trump all of it has put it out into everyone's face because he KNOWS nothing will be done to stop him. And he's been RIGHT, because none of the other Pres were stopped either.

So. Judge sets deadline. Blanche disregards deadline. What's the response? What accountability did the judge issue to Blanche? Judge sets NEW DEADLINE. 🤦‍♂️ The people think courts are going to save them? There are NEVER any consequences for these people. Just more strongly worded orders.

So. Want to know why the billionaires want people broke, sick and starving? Why they worked for decades to kill the middle class? Why wages stagnated? This. The middle class was secure enough to get involved in politics and the billionaires shit a brick. The poor are too busy trying to survive.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

So. Another troll farm bot shows up with "waaaa, someone said something..." You know what military members swear an oath to uphold and protect? The constitution. Not a flag, person, anthem or religion. IDGAF if someone burns the flag, kneels during the anthem, etc. They aren't the constitution

So. Stop the infighting, huh? We had a Pres on his way out put together a group that attacked the Capital to overturn an election and what happened... what happened to him? Which LE agency stepped in on Jan 7th and arrested them all... ALL of them? What did Garland do for 18 months AFTER it?

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

So. Voting stats, huh? That's all it takes. Clinton. Dem Congress. NAFTA closed factories and he repealed Glass-Steagall on his way out the door. All for the donors. Obama. Dem Congress. No FoC Act signed. No Public Option in the ACA. No closure of Gitmo. No prosecution of Bush Jr/cronies.

So. I get people not liking an author due to valid reasons. I get people personally not liking something for whatever reason(s) they have. But when the franchise the author wrote banked around 30 BILLION in revenue from all sources and 50 mil personally/yr... I think they achieved their goal.

So. You don't want to eat the nasty beef. Join the club! Let me introduce you to shredded pork chili. You can use a butt pork roast or pork loin. I found 9 lb pork loins to be the cheapest option at my grocer here, so I used two of them. Chili beans, onions, mushrooms, chili spices, peppers. 👍

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

So. The military and voting GOP/MAGA. People want to know "why". The answers aren't surprising to many of us older vets, but for the younger folks, I'll explain it. This will take quite a few posts so... First, start with the era, budgets and how they worked at one time.

So. Back on the "find the perfect coffee for me" kick. Because why not, but the information is crazy. I've been drinking arabica and need robusta beans as they have almost twice the caffeine of arabica. Finding a 100% robusta blend? That's online. And twice the price. Because of course it is.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

So. Some people: (book name) is bad because it contains (list of stuff). Seriously? If you don't want to read a book that has (insert stuff) in it, that's fine. Don't read it. But look around people. That "stuff" is ALL AROUND US. So yeah, it's GOING to get included into stories and books. 🤦‍♂️

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

So. The racism, bigotry, misogyny, cruelty that has been part of the GOP for 60 yrs? The Southern Strategy? Wasn't a secret. THAT was all good! Willing to work to support THAT! But fascism? That thing that includes anyone they want, like straight white men? THAT is the line! Just no. 🖕

So. People think this is rocket science. Have a GOOD candidate with a track record of working for the people. Have the party stop sabotaging its agenda, F'ing people over for corp donor/lobbyist money, and guess what... people will vote. When you get 2 choices and BOTH will F you over...? No.

So. 1) If people are going to post a reply to a post I've made, at least make your response match what I've posted. Posting a reply to something I didn't even say? I'm just blocking. I'm not arguing with rando internet people who can't even read what I've posted correctly.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

So. Obama's AG let Bush Jr and cronies skate telling people to move on. Biden's AG did his best to protect Trump. 18 months of nothing. He was forced to raid Mar a Lago. And people think voting in Dems again will mean accountability? We already voted in Dems. There was no accountability.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

So. The next auto block? The idiots who post, "if you aren't voting then you blah blah blah"... because they don't do their homework, can't do math, and just want to cry and whine. I live in WY. If EVERY SINGLE DEM/IND VOTED, THEY WOULD STILL LOSE. IT'S CALLED MATH DUMBASSES.

gulfwarvet.bsky.social @gulfwarvet.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

So. This is partially correct. No, the 2016 election wasn't rigged. Hillary was just a shitty arrogant candidate that pissed off enough voters she lost. Yes, mail-in voting in 2020 gave Biden the win. Yes, Elon rigged the 2024 election. Both Elon and Trump BRAGGED about it publically.
