Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 9hWe need to straighten out our tax system. In what just world can oligarchs skate on taxes while children go hungry at night? In what just world can mega-million churches be tax free while single parents struggle to make their heating bills? This is wrong, terribly wrong! 010

Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 9hDay 5 of our #StarveTheOligarchs Revolution. This will be our last month if we are able to flip the House & the Senate. If, when, that happens, Trump will be toast, & his oligarchs will be running scared. He can't dally forever on this Iran War, keeping oil prices up for his oil cronies! 010

Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 19h"U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year." It's easy to do when you have a president on speed dial, one who can ease your way through pesky regulations, one who will even start a war to drive up prices. It pays to be wealthy with Trump in office. 031
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 19hGood stuff. More than one brave soul. And, like good little lab rats, the audience chants "USA" over and over. According to Copilot, "Many historical [cults] have used repetitive declarative phrases to unify members and reinforce doctrine." 000

Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I don't care. It amazes me how much I don't care that Donnie is bulldozing decades, even centuries, of tradition. I must have depleted my stock of outrage with the East Wing destruction and the Kennedy Center debacle. I wonder whether he knows that all his changes will be undone the day he dies. 000
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Friday is a big day for me! I love seeing Trump enraged when he isn't awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. "I've ended 8 wars, actually 20 if you count all the times I ended the Iran War. Obama got his for doing nothing!" He actually thinks he should win it 😂😂😂 010
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The rich get richer while the poor get poorer.

Yesterday I talked about Google and its many subsidiaries, so I found it interesting that one of Google's owners, Sergey Brin, was spending $102M to fight California's billionaire tax.

Fewer than 1% of cases have been among vaccinated individuals." RFK Jr is killing our children with his bad advice! 010
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This is a powerful video. I personally don't believe Iran will take Trump up on his invitation but I understand the sense of betrayal all Californians must be feeling. Their president, the president of the United States, told a foreign power to blow them up. It's a new level of evil, even for Trump. 010
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Every new Trump attack on our election process makes me wonder what he has planned for his October Surprise. I'm about to give up understanding his disordered mind. I know he has something in that putrid brain, but I can't think much beyond the protests on the Friday after this one. 000

Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026He's right. If you break a tube of a dangerous, highly infectious agent, you don't go home. Ever. The whole story stinks. I wonder whether Putin was experimenting with a plague vaccine so he could safely use it against Ukraine. 020

Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The Grand Old Party is a facade. Men & women go through the motions of representing constituents while actually serving America's Epstein class. Occasionally they toss voters a bone, maybe banning abortion or relaxing gun control, but their true masters are the wealthy. Why didn't I see this before? 000
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026She wouldn't give him a chance to respond. She said she wasn't the person being interviewed, but all she was interested in was tripping him up. He kept his cool, made her seem near hysterical. 000

Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Trump's end game all along has likely been to ruin our economy, destroy our alliances, promote divisiveness, weaken our military, and ruin our reputation. Heritage Foundation had its Project 2025, and Trump had his. He's going down, he's taking us with him, and 1/3 of us haven't a clue. 001
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026New York responds quickly to a measles outbreak, encouraging MMR vaccinations. Texas, however, is suing pediatricians for encouraging vaccinations, accusing them of padding their bills for insurance fraud. I'd rather live in New York 😎 000
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026How many of you remember Trump's 2016 rallies and the cries of "lock her up" about Hillary Clinton? If, like me, you do remember, then watching this short clip will do your heart as much good as it did mine! 021
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Marc Elias says, "Trump's obsession with California isn't just about the fact that he has repeatedly lost the state in landslides, or that it is reliably controlled by Democrats. It's that he sees California as the biggest obstacle to stopping a Democratic wave in November." 000
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026As far as I know, dishonesty and disservice are not against the law. If they were, we'd have arrested Trump long ago. 000
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026According to Meidas Touch, Fox News has been backing off on coverage of Trump. Some say it's because he has become toxic; too much Trump is lethal for close races. Others say it's because his rally speeches have become repetitive. On the one I watched, he was recycling material from his first term. 000
Jethro Remington @remingtonwy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Trump is no longer interested in governing. He knew he could do a better job than any other president until he found out he couldn't. He won't accept failure, though. It's our fault his ratings have tanked, not his. He'll get his propers from people who appreciate him, the oligarchs & dictators 😎 020
