peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 21/07/2025It's very well known that concerts record performances along with audience reactions. Usually tickets include some provision to that effect. And I don't think we can discount that this couple in particular, senior executives, would be considered sophisticated willing participants. 100
peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 21/07/2025A concert is a public event, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. 130

peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Trump isn't changing tactics from his previous scandals. But the Epstein file was so widely used by his acolytes it became imbedded deep in MAGA's syche and is really resistant to Trump's attempt to demagogue it away. 020

peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Trump is the guy who famously said he doesn't want black hands touching his money, only short guys in yamulkas. So he doesn't know the play, but he definitely knows the antisemitic character. 010
peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 02/07/2025This is going to force all the weak Democrats to back candidates like Mamdani. Everyone becomes a Jean Valjean when all of MAGA are Thenardiers. 010

peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 01/07/2025But it's not politicized retaliation if people are prosecuted for actual crimes and they're found guilty. You're not changing the rules to ensure their conviction. To not charge essentially ensures a double standard where these people are given immunity to act extra judicially. 020

peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 01/07/2025My sense is we're seeing CPC voters now viewing everything through a partisan lens. They disdain everything Cdn because the Liberals hold power and they don't. And would instantly reverse their views if they gained power. This is not true of non-CPC supporters. 030
peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Well, voters do care because Trump's approval is underwater. But the institutions that could do something about Trump and Musk's open corruption - the Senate, House and Supreme Court - don't care. 160
peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 01/07/2025A Trump strength is being utterly contradictory within a head rattling beat.

peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Unfortunately, we have to bother. Because the only sin worse than Trump's petty graft and everyday corruption is normalizing it. This isn't how any president ever has conducted himself in office. 000

peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 29/06/2025It was almost inevitable we would start seeing the emergence of individuals who presented the sharpest contrast to Trump and other MAGA figures. Despite what the Democratic establishment hopes and the Never Trumpers think, it's not going to be a centrist presenting watered down conservatism. 000
peterrb1961.bsky.social @peterrb1961.bsky.social · 29/06/2025If the Democratic response is lets go with the House bill instead of lets blow this motherfucker up, Schumer should just walk into the sunset. 010
