@thepoliticsbar.bsky.social Jody was wrong about Donald not feeling the cold as much because of being a larger person: Donald may be chunky be he *IS* the thinnest-skinned person on the planet.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social When Darline Graham tells that story of her parents dying, leaving her without healthcare, she conveniently leaves out the part about her brother Lindsey joining the Air Force and adopting her so that she could be on his GOVERNMENT heathcare.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social The incident with Roach Coach One also explains why Trump brought in a decoy AF1: he wanted to make sure nothing happened to HIS plane. Also I take a spider outside by his thread when I can so when the Spider Cabal takes over one might say "No, that's Tom, he's cool"

Last night, instead of resting, my sleeping brain spent the night workshopping a dumb joke. By 4am, it was satisfied and I went into a different looping dream. It took two hours after waking up to remembered it: "I tried writing something with the French version of ChatGPT. All it said was Meow"

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social @thepoliticsbar.bsky.social @bobcesca.bsky.social Is it just me, or does the Trump/DoD excuse for undercounting the war casualties sound like "Friends" Ross Geller's "We were on a break!" defense?

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Carlos was right: Trump was using was death statistics like a golf score. And we know how accurately he reports his golf scores.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social It's too late this week, but with all the Trump-arrhea in the country it may be fine to bring back the Sack of Crap song.

The Trump-diarrhea outbreak is the latest in a cycle that's been happening since Reagan: 1 "X" is a preventable bad thing 2 Dems start programs to eliminate/control X 3 X stops being a threat 4 Republican courts/pols deny need to continue X abatement 5 Republicans kill X controls 6 X comes back

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I'm a retired schoolteacher and computer boffin; as such I should not know more about the law and/or national security than the nominees for the top government jobs in those fields. Oh, and I won't be watching Trump on TV Thursday night; my pony needs re-waxing.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Please tell Bella (whom we will miss) to look into the podcast ChildrenOfTendu by my friends Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Jose Molina, who each have 25-30 years experience as writer/producers see it their calling to inform and steer the next generation of writers.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social The only reason Trump would be "near the top" if you administered an IQ test to all of the US presidents in history is because most of the former presidents are DEAD.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I've got a better story than Chris's hippo experience. On a trip to Seaworld we got to see a bunch of young male manatees attempting to self-pleasure themselves and each other. They may be an endangered species, but it's not from lack of desire.

Norm duGare @normdugare.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Do you think the ICE agents who targeted Senator Andy Kim did it because they were still mad at him for undoing their Jan 6 Capitol "redecorating"?

Norm duGare @normdugare.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Of course Trump won't go to Junior's wedding: he'd have to take AF1 to get there, but since there's no way to pretend it's a business trip, need have to pay for it himself.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Pete Kegbreath is ABSOLUTELY a drunk. The only thing that is alleged is whether he is currently a dry drunk (as he maintains) or a wet one (as the evidence implies).

@schumer.senate.gov Senator, if your daily talking points don't include protecting citizens from ICE thugs, you are not only failing your party and your constituents, but our ancestors who were murdered by similar evil last decade. Jews aren't at the top of their list, but we're on it.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Trump goes downstairs for breakfasts instead of getting room service because having the one waiter stand and applaud isn't sufficient for his petty e.go

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I watched the show late, so I couldn't comment live. @chrislavoie.bsky.social was right: you shouldn't have made those Bobby Jr jokes immediately before talking to a Brigadier General. Better to save them for when talking to a Rear Admiral.

Norm duGare @normdugare.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Dear Democratic turncoats (and Fetterman, a wolf in Lieberman clothing): Are you familiar with the aphorism "God answers all prayers; sometimes the answer is NO"? You sold out the people in whose names you allegedly fight in exchange for the Republicans promise of "a vote." Surprise!They voted no.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Mike Johnson's ignorance is a deliberate tactical choice; by deliberately ignoring those things that are in his job description to know he feels free to spout crap that he would otherwise know isn't true.

@thepoliticsbar.bsky.social Regarding availability of US senators, my Oregon senators Wyden and Merkley each hold at least one townhall in every county yearly.I've been able to chat with each of them.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social (it's not my line, but) The way to pronounce Acetaminophen is easy: the second half is pronounced "minnow fin," like the part of the fish. The first part is pronounced "ah-see-da," as in "ah-see-da Epstein files still haven't been released!"

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Yes, Kristie Noem WAS hot. When they were younger, so were Sarah Palin, Nancy Mace, KellyAnne Conway, Megyn Kelly, and even Ann Coulter. It takes a while for an ugly soul to bubble to the surface, but it always does. Tick tock Kayleigh McEnany (hey, girl).

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social The "We have Jesus" claim reminds me of the old Mac and Tosh ("After you") cartoon "Isn't television wonderful?"

@colbertlateshow.bsky.social @slotkin.senate.gov Whether a hot dog is a sandwich depends on context; if on bread or in a bun, it's a sandwich. If covered in cornmeal and deep fried, it's an epinada. And if diced up and served in spaghetti, it's a genyouwine Eyetalian treat (per Young Sheldon)
