Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 20/09/2026First article in the “How President Trump Broke…” series. 001
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Actual story: President of the United States sleeps in public view by day. By night he posts dozens of memes online provided by aid Natalie Harp showing everything from renaming a state to dropping nuclear bombs. 000
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The Times forgot to include the words “Completely Predictable” in the hed. 000
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Cmon Matt, she put the deciding vote against Roe on SCOTUS and has famously lied about it being the deciding vote. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/o... 010
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 05/06/2026This is the one description in the Times that is physical. The others I would describe as different grades of creepiness. It’s all not good. But since this is where you are drawing the line, I think the specifics matter. 100
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Or maybe this incident was a set up to make the argument that we need that ballroom. 000
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I don’t understand how Republican congressmen in states that voted for Biden aren’t challenging the ballots that they were elected on. A phony ballot is a phony ballot. 000
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Thank you. I had no idea the politics there had changed that much since I left. 000
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I am all for it, but even if that body is formed and says the president is unfit, if he disagrees and says he is fit it will require a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress to remove him, a higher bar than impeachment and conviction. So yes, proceed, but let’s not get giddy. 010
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Sometimes it takes a cover version to appreciate a song you hated. An example for me is “alone again, naturally” by Corinne Bailey Rae. Another is “solitary man” by Johnny Cash. 030
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 19/04/2026I believe they will not be able to control what happens. They control a lot of dollars and money does matter, but in today’s world virality can happen on the cheap. 000
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 17/04/2026He probably has no idea what New Yorkers mean when they talk about a candy store. Like in Leader of the Pack. 000
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 13/04/2026That one was tongue in cheek. This one not so sure. 010
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Unless you have reason to believe that he would accept being disqualified this way, the bar for the 25th to work is higher than for impeachment and removal. It first requires the vice president and half the cabinet, and then once Trump says he really is fit to serve, 2/3 of both houses of Congress. 110
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Dining out is much cheaper in Italy, even with the current exchange rate. At the airport I paid an outrageous €2.50 for a cappuccino. At a neighborhood café, or even a railway station, it’s €1.40. Always good and served on china. Prices are inclusive of tax and service. 000
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 22/01/2026I guess Karoline didn’t have time to watch the speech. 000
Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Now that Nathan’s Famous is owned by the Chinese, it would be great if they’d bring back the chow mein sandwich they used to sell at Coney Island! 011

Eric Riback @kreplachbro.bsky.social · 18/01/2026“As well as others” is doing the heavy lifting to justify what’s happening in MPLS and elsewhere. Being here illegally is a civil, not a criminal, offense. Undocumented people are not criminals unless they commit a crime. 100
