Curious Jon @jmbroad.bsky.social · 4hHow much slack do you cut a President evidently talking himself into a… nuclear strike? some attack on civilian infrastructure? I’m sure getting shellacked in the midterms won’t further aggravate this his Dark Triad personality traits or anything 000
Curious Jon @jmbroad.bsky.social · 4hThe domination and enslavement of women by men is so ancient an evil it casts a shadow over the concept of civilization itself and reasserts itself as soon as that is forgotten, as if from dormant cancer cells rendered invisible by familiarity.

Curious Jon @jmbroad.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The Republican Party is dead as one of the two (2) parties necessary for the workings of the US constitutional order. Never-Trumpers are allies but lack a constituency. In the end, it’ll be Democrats vs. Democratic Socialists. That’s the best case! Certainly the only remaining Constitutional one. 010
