Not even 2 months ago. Now Trump dishonors Sen. Graham’s legacy. But don’t expect Budd to object.

NYTimes editors: Let’s see, who should we use to illustrate a story about the DOJ hiring unqualified and incompetent lawyers?

Trump on the Reflecting Pool. He just can’t help himself. I wish a reporter would ask if he still thinks people are eating their dogs and cats.

Always good to remind voters that NC GOP candidate Michael Whatley supported Trump’s pardons of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, including those with prior convictions or pending charges for rape and sexual abuse of minors. He also supports the slush fund.

For perspective, Sen. Budd: North Carolina ranks 50th out of 50 states for its K–12 public school "funding effort" and near the bottom (50th out of 51 including D.C.) for per-pupil funding levels, according to the Education Law Center's Making the Grade report.

Jack Smith rules. At the Power to the People rally.

This is an outright lie. The link doesn’t mention Cooper. It stinks of desperation with good reason; the GOP has turned off the money spigot to Whatley.

What about regimes that imprison and deport innocent people to dictatorships because of their skin color and nationality?

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Trump’s multiple bankruptcies suggest the answer. link.axios.com/click/477327...

Things the majority of Americans oppose that Sen. Budd supports: 👉War in Iran 👉President Trump 👉ICE immigration tactics 👉High fuel prices

Fishermen in international waters would like a word as would Iranian school girls

Gun shop owner thinks he’s a lawyer.

Still there on Axios. (Actually, his clowning himself is in the Vance repertoire.)

They didn’t like a meeting of Democratic socialists inside. (Note that most are hiding their identity.) The non-racist, non-coward community ran them off.

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Blah, blah, blah. Sen. Budd doesn’t hold town halls or announce where he’s going to be on his 100-county tour. He only goes to controlled settings and hears what he wants to hear.

Two years ago Trump promised that if elected he would make Western NC whole. Two years later Trump’s most loyal Senator says he’s still waiting.

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Maybe voting against Trump’s agenda more often would have helped, Rep. Bacon.

Nothing more Republican than bragging about kicking people off healthcare.

I expect stupid from Thiessen but this is even stupider

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Let’s deal with the easy stuff: 🤡He doesn’t care about socialism. He’s in a safe district; there are no democratic socialists running in NC. 🤡He doesn’t care about the debt. If he did he’d have opposed his party pushing it over $40 trillion. 🤡If not for gerrymandering we’d get him out of the way.

My rep hasn’t met the president yet.

Lost among all the reprehensible Trump war mongering at the UN is this incredible indictment by the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. (Thank god @hcrichardson.bsky.social brings it.)

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Have you seen Trump with Mayor Mamdani? They’re best buds. You’d better tell the president he’s playing with the enemy.

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

All I can conclude is that my representative is not all that smart.

Vice President Vance is speaking in town right now but my local paper says a new grocery store in annoying city is more important

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I went to the other place to see what MAGA was saying about what Trump said about North Carolina’s killing fields. It’s as stupid as you’d think.

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Remember when Republicans all bitched about gas prices? They ain’t saying shit now.

The NYTimes morning news digest and how Trump controls the agenda: 🤡”Trump calls” 🤡”Trump says” 🤡”Trump says”

Dude, don’t brag. You run a f**king gun shop.

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Remember when you criticized Trump for saying John McCain was only “awar hero because he was captured," adding, "I like people that weren't captured". Me neither.

Guy who wants to be the next Senator from North Carolina and the guy keeping millions of Epstein files secret applauding the guy who is featured in many of those files.

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

The top story at @axios this morning for no discernible reason.

030

You shouldn’t talk about Speaker Johnson like that.

Let’s connect the dots: The NC legislature put Republicans in charge of all of the state’s county elections boards so they they could promote candidates like this one.

When billionaires buy media properties and start screwing with the news content is there any evidence that they care whether their changes are failures?

The headline and synopsis are certainly an optimistic reading of the court.

John Robinson @jrobin.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

As an aside, I give the Times credit for this headline, believing that they knew exactly what we make of it.
