lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 25/01/2026He has clearly articulated the Government’s rejection of The First Amendment: by definition, freedom of speech means the right to express opinions without fear of government retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction. Or murder. 010
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Agree and not challenging or disputing your facts & points at all; just checking to see if the agents are fabricating a danger. 110

lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 12/01/2026I have heard a retort to the empathy argument that gives me pause: even the Nazis loved Goethe and Rilke. 210
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 10/01/2026The presidents who kid about serious things—Reagan saying on open mike that bombs were being dropped on Russia; Trump saying we’re going to take Greenland — really don’t understand the rules of office or the ethics of office. You don’t joke about affairs of state. And while I’m at it, you don’t lie. 020

lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 31/08/2025One of the things that gets me is their claim of “erasure of history” when they say liberals called for or supported taking down Confederate Civil War monuments. 120
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Might consider an ultrasound; X-rays missed an abscess on our pup’s lower intestine. One bowel resection later she’s fine and 5 years old, but had we not insisted she wasn’t getting better…. 030
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 04/08/2025I thought I was the only one with a dog who played “roll it!” 010
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Agreed. Major failure. Just connecting some dots to antisocial, political choices. 010
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 03/08/2025His description of the onset of his illness made me wonder if he was sick from Covid (I wonder, too, whether he was vaccinated). 100

lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 07/07/2025I can see how a forum that limits characters and promotes abbreviated messages AS well as my own haste produced a provocation. I appreciate your gracious offer so I can rectify and apologize. 000
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 06/07/2025I’m not sure what I did that is provoking an adversarial response. I thought I was adding info to the conversation. Guy has been involved in govt financial policies for years; we agree, so no beef. 100

lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 18/06/2025That’s my favorite Constitutional not-trivia to trot out when the keyboard warriors whine about folks “trampling on their Freedom of Speech” in social media. 1st Amendment did not mean the villagers couldn’t label the village idiot the village idiot. 1121
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 18/06/2025Did I read that’s actually the new rule at the VA? That doctors, providers, and nursing staff don’t have to treat people with disagreeable views? Maybe I’m just hallucinating this dystopia to its logical conclusion. 230
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 07/06/2025Yes, and the context includes the ethics of even saying “I slept with underage girls.” So much context that he doesn’t even recognize. 050
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Right. A “full moon” is an image perceived from earth, whereas “the moon” might be in relation to earth (not one of Saturn’s moons), but is referenced in its thing-ness. 010
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 17/05/2025I’m suffereing from cognitive dissonance. First was the anti-consumerist message (two dolls, not 30!) and now this? 010
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Guy in front is wearing jeans. That’s not typical uniform wear, and plainclothes /UC cops would blow their covers putting on that getup over jeans. Does the gear even match from person to person, or did those guys go to the local Prepper store for various army-navy surplus on their own? 010
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 12/05/2025It’s definitely not legal in the US. In fact the interdiction is baked into our Constitution (Article I, Section 9), which “prohibits anyone in the US Government from receiving a personal gift from a foreign head of state without the consent of Congress.” The recipient of the jet does not care. 000
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Wasn’t the previous position that migrants were not subject to US laws and thus could be deported without habeas corpus? If they’re saying they will suspend the right, then they’re recognizing the CURRENT Constitional right. Upside down world continues? 010
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Not to mention the ever-present threat of gun violence. Next up will be ICE drills. 150
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 29/03/2025I had a cat, Hank, who loved to be spun on the wood floors. We’d throw a paper ball, he’d fetch it, and then flop on his side to get a spin. He’d do that repeatedly (we’d let him do it 3-4 times because he’d stumble like a drunken sailor if more). We would sing the Drunken Sailor song, though! 130

lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 22/03/2025So the deportation order was signed by the autopen Trump complained made Biden’s pardons null and void? 010
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Your mother-in-law didn’t call because she’s 94 and you didn’t get her phone access for the hearing impaired. I hope she writes you out of her will. You don’t need any more generational wealth. The rest of us have parents who didn’t have any assets to leave and depended completely on SS checks. 140

lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Their contempt is so deep for those who live check-to-check—the retired who don’t have fully funded pensions or 401ks are the working class (day labor and part time retail [etc.] do not come with retirement plans). 010
lablansett.bsky.social @lablansett.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Honestly shutting down government couldn’t be worse than shutting down USDA school meals, SSA checks for folks who depend on that money, closing up Department of Education, museums, libraries, etc. What are they so afraid of? Everything is already being shut down by chainsaw boy. 061
