Animal lover, LGBTQIA+ ally, tree-hugging environmentalist; been told I have a “smart mouth”, so thanks. Sick of fascists and MAGAts. Not interested in crypto or hooking up. Democrat for life. And, oh yeah, I despise *45! Do not DM me uninvited.

MAGAts are the dumbest people in the world. Welfare was invented for white people. They thought cutting SNAP & USAID would punish Blacks & Latinos. Instead, it’s closed markets for farmers & ranchers, and cut their neighbors’ off from food security. Racism is at the root of this mindset.

The people I really feel sorry for are the kids of rural MAGAts. The kids are not responsible for their parents’ votes. But they’re getting painted with the same brush. I suspect most of them will be going no contact with those parents as soon as possible.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Let me help you remember how dumb MAGAts are. Bud Light pisses them off, so they buy cases of it and film themselves shooting them up. Keurig makes them mad, so they film themselves throwing the machines off roofs. They don’t even understand a boycott is done BEFORE you buy the targeted goods.

Mike Rounds has a staffer who has been double dipping as a Meta lobbyist. www.politico.com/newsletters/...
Senate aide’s lobbying side gig raises ethics questions
By JACOB WENDLER  09/04/2026 06:00 PM EDT
With help from Andrew Howard

FIRST IN PI — A senior staffer for Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) has quietly worked as a lobbyist for Meta and other high-profile clients — an unusual agreement that experts say raises questions about ethics and possible conflicts of interest, Jacob reports with our colleague Andrew Howard.

— Robert Skjonsberg, who has worked for Rounds for over a decade, is registered to lobby the South Dakota Legislature on behalf of more than a dozen clients, according to previously unreported state records reviewed by PI. He’s also listed as a “co-owner” and “founding member” on the website of 605 Strategies, a South Dakota-based government affairs firm founded in 2012, though the firm is not listed on the records. 605 Strategies did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

— In addition to Meta, Skjonsberg is also listed as an “active” registered lobbyist for tobacco giant Altria, conservative think tank the Freedom Foundation, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and several agriculture trade groups like the South Dakota Dairy Producers and South Dakota Pork Producers.
