heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Not sure who “they” are. Fascinating that for 150 years Americans across the political spectrum yearned for a ballroom, had vivid visions of a ballroom yet NOBODY dared to utter that long held dream out loud. They whispered it on a frequency only dogs and Trump can hear. 0231
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If you read Regime Change and The Nerd Reich, this admin & Thiel and his ilk are OBSESSED with shaking down and destroying higher ed. They make up baseless claims then focus like a laser beam harassing those institutions. Destruction designed to feed their egos and bank accounts. 110
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The only policies this admin wants to advance are those that result in people dying. WTF is wrong with those people? The rest of us humans with friends, family, communities, purpose, dreams, needs, etc., are just not real to them. 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Wow. That is crazy take. Replacing a $70k worker with a $40k worker is “fraud”? I’m sure he’s totally fine with redesigning the $70k accountant’s job and replacing it with AI and wouldn’t label that “fraud”. He clearly only has biz experience at the 50,000 ft level and never ran anything. 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Also, John Kennedy is currently 74 years old. He really wants to run as a 76 year old? 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Then let McConnell be interviewed by the media. If he is waxing eloquent about the future of Ukraine and the Republican party in private, certainly he can sit for an interview on camera. 021
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 07/10/2026John Kennedy's rationale in an interview lately was gob smacking. He said that if he feels he can no longer be effective in the senate, he will run for president. So if he isn't meeting the goals in his current job, the obvious solution -to him- is to go for a promotion to a bigger job. 120
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Who shows up for these speeches and why? 220
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Seems like Vance would be able to opt out of talking about Epstein. Is he willingly engaging in this nonsense or is he forced to do this? There can’t be any upside for him to be on video spewing this insanity. 000
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I don’t understand the fascination with Scaramucci. His “insights” are often just him stating the obvious. I find it ludicrous that he is still milking his handful of days at the White House all these years later. 000
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This is so odd. Is he asking states for proposals for the states to build military bases to "host" the troops? Did he spend the entire defense budget already so he needs states to build bases for the military? Do we need more bases? 0182
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Not only was he easily caught not having the facts, I'm not entirely sure what he thought he was proving. If Smith had been in Georgia, that is proof of some sort of collusion? I couldn't follow whatever point he thought he was making. 000
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026And there is only one person in the country named Jack. 060

heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think Kevin Hasset has the "pulled wings of butterflies and burned ants with a magnifying glass while manically giggling" vibe 110
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I'm confused. Senators don't set foreign policy or oversee military tactics. The current senate didn't even weigh in on going to war with Iran. Why is a candidate for senator being asked for a war plan/military strategy? Shouldn't they ask "what should the senate do?" 011
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Her response signals "we thought this was a ceremonial role and all he had to do was give dinners and play golf but it turns out he needs to do work - from morning to night!" Seriously? And the Fox folks saying that she works all the time too ... doing what? The public needs evidence of that. 041

heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Wait? The kid writes the letter or the tooth fairy writes it? 100
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 16/09/2026My understanding is Wage theft generally means stealing from your employees by not paying them what they are owed. Not employees stealing from employers. Trump totally cool with not paying employees what you owe them. 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I know this isn't the point but WTH is going on with Barron? He is so pale he glows. Has that kid ever gone outside? 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I was perplexed by this too and assumed it was T’s fealty to the fossil fuel industry. But reading this piece, I think it is that T can’t rise a 🚲 so is offended by their very existence. Therefore, in his world, bikes must disappear. 020
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I just finished reading West with Giraffes 🦒. Highly recommend. 170
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Didn’t the Supreme Court rule he can’t unilaterally impose tariffs? That hasn’t seemed to slow him down. 2312
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 03/09/2026He was trying, and failing, to insinuate himself into a group of living presidents. This press conference seems like he is trying to convince people he is ready to be president … already IS president! He is awful. 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 03/09/2026His audition for president isn’t going well. 0120
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Not only is he not running, the R's who are running in 2026 don't want to be seen with him. You've got to wonder how much money and time is spent on these rallies that serve no purpose. 260
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I think people fear that their local government is going to trade something away that once it is gone they'll never get it back. Too many deals were struck in secrecy with NDAs. Too many lies about projected water and energy use. What do we not yet know was traded away without the public's consent? 000
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Maybe the plan is that AI will eliminate the jobs that Americans are happy and willing to do now. With those jobs gone, they will be more willing to back fill the jobs that were filled by immigrants because Americans weren't willing to do them. 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I Googled information about the author of a book I’m reading. Google’s AI (which I didn’t want to use but hadn’t turned off) unprompted delivered a synopsis of the book. It incorrectly described the major characters in the book. Seems like AI is crap. I miss old fashion search results. 040
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The same Trump who while campaigning insisted on being flown to one of his properties every night because he needed to sleep in his own bed? That Trump? 060
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Bannon’s “flood the zone with shit” strategy works. People will forget yesterday’s scandals/crimes if you keep producing new daily scandals/crimes. People simply can’t continue to pay attention to single categories of crimes when there are so damn many. Sad but true. 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 12/08/2026His claim that he designed a different vaccine schedule for his kids?? Don’t think so. Vaccine skepticism wasn’t really a thing when his kids were babies. People his age have memories of pre-vaccine days when kids died from now preventable disease. Skipping vaccines wasn’t something parents did. 000
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 12/08/2026She claims she got her stats from a medical journal. Can they sue her for intentionally misrepresenting their study in away that could result in genuine harm? 000
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Seems like these facilities need a good independent audit. The private prison firms are getting a lot of government money but the food, medical care and general facilities are below acceptable standards. Where is all the money going? 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I forget this guy believed he was presidential material. 030
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 31/07/2026The newly published book Regime Change explains the bazillion scandals and it is amazing how worse it all is when you hear the full story in one sitting vs in daily drips over time while getting distracted by new scandals. 020
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I wonder what broke Miller so badly that he does the things he does. Not because understanding that will absolve him in any way but so that as a society we can figure out how to not have that happen to other people. He is a monster. 170
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Don’t ICE randomly show up in unmarked cars and/or in plain clothes and aggressively pursue people who have no idea who they are? How is trying to get away from an unknown person who is menacing you “failure to comply”? If you have legal authorization to be here, why is anyone is after you? 000
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 16/07/2026At least he correct that you need an id to go to Costco as opposed to the many politicians who claim you need id for things for which you do not need an id. I don’t remember Costco being in the constitution. 081
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I wish a senator would ask him when he gives a terrible and predictable answer "if you were interviewing a candidate for a law associate a question and they gave an answer like you just gave us, would you keep them in the candidate pool? if not, why should we keep you in the candidate pool now?" 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Shouldn’t not following the major new stories about activities in the department you are currently leading as acting and interviewing to lead ongoing be disqualifying? For no other job would saying you don’t follow news directly related to the job be acceptable. 000
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 13/07/2026My guess, and I could well be wrong, is that when Sen Schiff say "just uncovered" he means that T's minions have been refusing to produce receipts and/or making claims that the WH isn't directing the propoganda - and that tax $ aren't being used. The "uncovering" is that tax $ ARE being used. 010
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Your repeated reply doesn’t make sense. When my mom was his age, she was in a rehab facility for a month after a stroke. She & the other patients wore soft work out pants (joggers or sweat pants) or PJs because they were mostly in bed or doing therapy. In rehab, jeans are not practical/comfortable. 1110
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 12/07/2026On Meet the Press, Trump claimed when Graham called him last night, it was to let him know that he was sure they could get the Save act passed. Call me skeptical that he why Graham called him (if he did call him). Pretty sure T said that this AM so he could make passing that about honoring Graham. 130

heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I hoped he wears the Knicks jersey as a vest for the rest of his term. I love it! 000
heathermcg.bsky.social @heathermcg.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Really pissed me off that on the Sunday news shows, dems were repeatedly questioned abt what they would do to get Platner off the ballot, overruling Maine voters, over “issues of character” and zero R’s were asked about getting Paxton off the ballot over his issues of character. 181
