mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 10/09/20261/ Dems and those in the MSM need to stop referring to the price of eggs as a problem for American consumers. Eggs were expensive several years ago because we had an H5 Bird Flu epidemic. It reduced the supply of egg-laying chickens. That's no longer the case. 100
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Someone please tell Trump that we don't enter into alliances like NATO and establish military bases around the world because we're altruistic. It's because that's in our best interest. Limiting aggression + providing foreign aid increases our power. When we don't do that, others fill the void. 020
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I keep hearing that Dems--especially young Dems--want someone who will "fight for them." Maybe the first order of business is to get rid of the people that you have to fight against. Folks, you may not have the perfect candidate. But ANY Dem will remove much of the pressure and improve things. 020

mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 13/07/20261/ The charade surrounding McConnell's condition tells me one thing: Kentucky Republicans know that their efforts to bypass Gov. Andy Beshear's power to appoint McConnell's replacement are unconstitutional. Beshear's power to appoint a successor rests firmly within the Kentucky constitution. 100
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 09/07/2026The fiascos in Maine and Michigan underscore the truth of the saying that, "The Democrats are the party that never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity." 000

mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 24/04/2026What's to stop the Trump administration from going back and prosecuting Jerome Powell once Warsh is confirmed as the new Fed chair? Tossing the "investigation" to the IG is a great strategy -- if the goal is to get Tillis on board just long enough move the nomination to the Senate floor. 000
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Trump claimed on several occasions that his tariffs brought in $17 trillion. Let's hold him to this and make the refunds easy. Just imagine the stimulative economic effect if we bypass the middlemen and send a little under $126,000 to each of the almost 134,800,000 U. S. households. 000
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Tired of the Dems having to come in and fix things after the GOP breaks government, the economy, and societal norms. It's happened repeatedly over the last 50+ years. When they get the trifecta, I don't want them to be the sane "good government" party. They need to be the party of retribution. 100
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 03/02/2026When Todd Blanche and the rest of the jokers at the Department of Retribution say that they're ready to prosecute anyone involved with Epstein who violated the law, it's almost laughable. That they can maintain a straight face attests to their acting skills. Oscar worthy? 030
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Redacting the names and other identifying information about pedophiles in the Epstein Files, while revealing names and addresses of victims sends a clear message. DOJ wants to intimidate victims and others who can testify against Trump and his buddies, while allowing perpetrators to remain free. 264
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Among new Constitutional Amendments we need is one that makes one of two things true: either 1) the POTUS can sue or be sued; or 2) POTUS can neither sue nor be sued. The current condition is unacceptable. POTUS cannot (for all practical purposes) be sued, be can freely sue to intimidate. 000
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 21/01/2026European leaders need to stop kowtowing to Trump. Every time they lavish him with effusive (and fake) praise, enter into one-sided agreements, or otherwise fuel his already outsized ego, they relinquish their (and their nations') dignity and create future problems for themselves. 000
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 18/11/2025Tuberville saying that he supports the bill to release the Epstein Files. Trump says he will sign it.

mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 28/08/2025As a distraction, Trump's sacking of folks from the Fed Board, Surface Transportation Board, CDC, and others is working like a charm. It's been a week since I've seen or heard anything about the Epstein scandal. The media just LOVES to chase shiny objects. Keep your eyes on the ball, media. 020
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 26/08/2025When will Trump issue an Executive Order declaring that, henceforth, the sun will rise in the west and set in the east. Or repealing the law of gravity. Or making it a crime for anyone but the New York Yankees to be MLB's champion. All of which make as much sense as those he's issued lately. 030
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 21/08/2025MAGAs are so quick to take a righteous tone as they accuse high profile opponents (Adam Schiff, Letitia James, and Lisa Cook) of technical violations of mortgage fraud. Do they realize how quickly that can be turned against THEM? Once Dems gain power, it's a great tool for going after Repubs. 000
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 21/08/2025I've been saying for years that the Dems needed to stop engaging in unilateral disarmament when it comes to redistricting around the country. Congratulations, Democrats and Dem Party leaders for jumping aboard that train. My only question is, "What the he** took you so long?" 020
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 04/08/2025I wish the media would stop allowing Trump to get away with this "some country is going to pay an "X"%" tariff nonsense. No country is going to pay anything. A few of their businesses may eat a little of it temporarily, but not much and not for long. AMERICAN businesses and consumers pay. 000
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Job numbers + other economic statistics indicate a weak economy. So what does tRump do? Fires the BLS chief. Yikes!! "Bring me statistics I like, " yells the king. Interestingly, if he wants rate cuts, those weak stats bolster his case. Chance of September rate cut went up to over 80%. 110
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 25/07/2025 If Trump had sex with underage females, they're likely still out there and could testify to that fact. I understand the risk they would be taking. Still surprises me that none have come forward. It would only take one to end his presidency. Shouldn't some reporter be trying to find them? 020
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Does anybody else think that this on-again-off-again bromance between Trump and Musk is nothing but a way of distracting people--and especially the gullible media--from focusing attention on the substance of the "Big Horrible Bill?" 030
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 01/07/2025According to Leigh Ann Caldwell, 49% of people on Medicaid voted for Trump, while 47% voted for Harris. Given those stats, it's hard to have much sympathy for those among that 49% who lose their health insurance. It's just too bad that their poor choices have an impact on so many others. 020
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 30/06/2025When Dems next get the trifecta, they first must fix structural problems before they can implement policy changes. Otherwise the SC will declare their legislative changes unconstitutional. 1. Expand the SC. 2. Make DC and PR states, so that Dems aren't always on the edge of being a minority. 021
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 27/06/2025When Dems get the trifecta, kill the filibuster for SC purposes. Expand the court to 17, with each case heard by nine selected through a computer random number generator. That will partly reduce importance of each Justice. Should be part of a larger Judicial branch update and reorganization. 000

mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Mainstream media admits that tRump is escalating things in LA to divert attention from his various problems. So what does MM do--it covers this thing 24/7. Hey MM, here's an idea: try spending only 10-20% of your time on this. You can still show us everything that's of real importance in LA. 010
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 06/06/2025Trump and his cohorts have every reason to minimize the CPI numbers and overstate the number of jobs created. They've said that if they don't like economic statistics, they'll just change them How can we believe what comes out of this administration? Even the venerable BLS is compromised. 022
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Commentators on MSNBC, CNN, and others in the mainstream media need to stop using Trump's framing of the budget bill as the "Big Beautiful Bill." Don't use his terminology. It's the Reconciliation Bill. That's the proper framing and that's how those discussing it should refer to it. 001
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Why would anybody hire a law firm like Paul, Weiss or Milbank? If they don't have enough courage to stand up for themselves, it isn't likely that they can they be trusted to fight for their clients when someone turns up the pressure. 011
mpguy29.bsky.social @mpguy29.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Chuck Schumer does it again! Senate Dems score another own goal, benefiting the Trumpublicans. Weak leadership -- if one can call it "leadership" at all. Time for a more aggressive Dem to take over the helm in the Senate. 010
