I live in a blue city surrounded by a red state. I am a very blue Democrat. I work with my hands.

His understanding of magnets didn't improve either.

I think now would be a great time for Democratic politicians to stop asking for money and instead spend every day and every last penny in their current war chest, seeking out crowded random places and speaking their mind. I believe people will stop and listen. The stakes are that high.

AI at work is like the fuckwit sycophant douchebag your CEO met at an ayahuasca retreat and decided to make them head of your department because they "share a vision". The best workers flee along with the loyal customers but the AI creates a magnificent pivot chart and, voila, forward disruptor!

Over the past 20 years everything I want or need has become much more expensive than inflation or tariffs alone can explain. The people, the workers who actually produce the goods or perform the service, aren't making more. It's all going to private equity. It's like an extra tax. An executive tax.

I believe the corruption we know about around the Trump administration is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe they've amassed vast wealth and hidden it in corrupt hiding places around the world. Creating chaos by crashing our government and economy doesn't seem accidental. It seems opportunistic

He's frowning at the three "get well soon" cards he got because he knows the "get worse now" pile of cards probably fills a post office warehouse somewhere.

David Steiner and Louis Dejoy were both Trump supporters and Both were favored by Trump for Postmaster General. Both tried pre-election schemes to disenfranchise mail in voting.

If Mitch is capable of shame, big if, then I hope he is feeling great shame as he circles the drain, completely incapable of redeeming his legacy of enabling authoritarianism and thwarting democracy.

I think Trump supporters have confused "fighting like Hell and never giving up" with relentless sabotage

The republican party could have inoculated itself against the MAGA disease if it had created its own version of the "woke" vaccine. Instead it followed the advice of the disease and is now dying from a completely preventable plague. If it survives it will be forever weakened.

Im not easily rattled or intimidated. I've frustrated many a bully. I am also keenly aware of when someone is attempting to bully, intimidated or terrorize me or others. The extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist MAGA Republicans are terrorizing people who aren't them. They're terrorists.

When I was a kid we had 8 track tapes in the car and it was mostly country music. That's where I first heard Dolly Parton. She's a part of the soundtrack in my head. Thank you Dolly

I hate to repeat back Republicans what they said to all us "woke" liberals but... Republicans! Sit you dumb ass down! Shut your stupid mealy mouth! Get the fuck out of the way so we can fix everything you've horribly fucked up!

Maybe he does want to do more than spook the bond market. What if he wants to destroy it because he's figured out some way to achieve some short term personal gain from it collapsing while simultaneously weakening everyone else. When Dems win in November his Chaos machine must be shut down, hard!

I also believe very strongly that Trump is personally profiting from this somehow

Is it just ground beef? If so that's kind of weird. I mean, you can't really tell what's been ground up. Also, will we trust the inspection process?

Would Elon Musk, with his wealth, global connections to totalitarian regimes and penchant for bizarre beliefs, be willing to experiment on prisoners for something like "neurolink"? I think he and other ultra wealthy oligarch weirdos would do stuff like that.

Guys like Trump, and there's a lot of them in the Republican party, can't imagine broadly beneficial economic policy. They can only imagine the wants of the rich and ignore everyone else. They also can't manage or reduce the deficit. They can only explode it. Only Democrats have ever done that.

And that's what the whole fucking ordeal is really about. Was it an intentional ploy by Hegseth to prove women don't belong in the military or to weed "weak" people out of the ranks. All it really does is make sane people that don't want to get treated like shit want to leave.

All that undignified subterfuge to save face over how inadequate his bribe plane really is and it still blows up in his face. Mission "Face Plant" accomplished.

I wonder if Trump thought it would be like killing two birds with one stone by silencing some pesky reporters while garnering support for his idiotic blunder with Iran. Oh wait! Never mind. Trump doesn't think.

I think capitalism works great if its not broken or missing parts. Our capitalism is malfunctioning from the top down. Willful ignorance and complete capture and undersharing of gains from increased productivity is simultaneously starving and blowing apart a functioning capitalism.

Somebody must know the identities of all the masked ICE agents. They're like the terror army of an industrial, for profit, private prison complex that's been allowed fester in this country. Something that heinous doesn't just disband after all the immigrants have been rounded up. Bellingcat?

Brilliant! Yes, eliminate the interest on my student loans and have all the interest I've paid so far go to the principal instead. I think there'd be leftover owed me but I'll be generous and only ask for 2/3 that it back. Fair?

Despite his griping about and attempts to stop mail in voting, when a race gets called early against Trump or his candidates because of overwhelming numbers, he'll be the first to cry "we have to wait for all the mail in ballots to be counted"

Even if Republicans are fine with how 2/3 of that stuff on that list turned out they have to admit the remaining 1/3 is still a lot and very bad. They can stick their head in the sand about it all but that shit is even under the sand.

Trump and the GOP "code" way more communist, authoritarian and corrupt that the DNC and DSA. These gas stations are just an extension of the Trump regime corruption.

JC @pokethebully.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
I think it would be great if the Democratic party could embrace the DSA or at least not distance itself from it while simultaneously saddling the GOP with communism like authoritarianism and corruption

I guess they think no one's ever going to ask "Hey, what's that stench coming from the closet?"

Absolutely! "I won't dignify that with a response." Doesn't work like it used to. Especially when MAGA and Republicans are abusing their power and using physical force to silence dissent.
