Jim Morton @popvoid.bsky.social · 01/09/2025I understand @stephenking.bsky.social said that in 20 to 30 years, many people will deny they voted for Trump. It won’t take that long.

Jim Morton @popvoid.bsky.social · 06/06/2025Before I get too excited about the Musk/Trump breakup, I remember that the WWE is an important part of Trump’s success. He’s just using that format. I wouldn’t be surprised if a cage match comes next. 021
