Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Trump is and always was an opportunistic coward. He and his dad procured his 5 deferments to avoid military service in Vietnam by renting a crooked podiatrist, he then promptly accused anti-Vietnam War protesters like me of being "bums" and "traitors" Nobody deserves the Medal of Honor less than him 041
Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026publicly ridiculed anti-Vietnam War protesters like me as 'cowards' and 'bums' and 'traitors' Trump has always done this. And throughout his life it's easy to see that his grotesque narcissism is only matched by his self-awareness of a deeply inborn sense of inadequacy and insecurity 2 000
Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Trump is and always was an opportunistic coward. It isn't really talked about in it's full context, but not only did he and his dad procure his 5 deferments to avoid military service in Vietnam by renting a crooked podiatrist, he then--once safe from being sent to war and real danger--came out and 1 100

Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Also, I was a border kid. Anybody old enough and semi-Canadian enough like me to remember this jingle? (which is burned into my brain) "A place to go, A place to grow, On-tair-eeeair-eeeair-eeooohh!" 000
Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 28/08/2026And no, we're not changing Gordon Lightfoot's lyrics in his 'Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' either Ontario will continue to take what Erie gives her.

Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Remove our blithering idiot president from office immediately, I'm begging here. He was never smart, never well-informed, never connected to our wider humanity by any thread of compassion or logic. But now, the accelerating decay. I never thought my country was vulnerable to killing itself. 🤦♂️ 2 110
Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Imagine the immense sense of entitlement and delusional self importance necessary to think you and only you have the power to rename a huge body of water that is part of the lives of millions of people in two countries, and has carried Native root of that name for tens of thousands of years. 1 100
Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 25/08/2026He really is just stupid ya know. The money and the racism and a scripted 'reality show' character just let him continually fail upward over and over and over again. Shame on all of us. 🤦♂️ 000

Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 29/07/2026The very same Senators who screamed bloody murder when Jack Smith accessed their phone call logs (not the content of the calls) and text messages on January 6 are now just fine with scraping servers for private communications, compiling Dr. Fauci's diary entries and making them public. WTF ?? 045
Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 28/07/2026All of this *waves arms furiously* absolutely all of it is the 'prosperity gospel' model. It's everywhere today. Politics and science both.

Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 03/07/2026The West was not a story of rugged individuals, bravery against the wild (both human and not), and unfortunate 'others' (Blacks, browns, and Asians) No group of people (white 'pioneers' in this case) have ever been as subsidized by their federal government than the settlers of the American West were 120
Jeff Stirling @stirlingthinks.bsky.social · 03/07/2026It is not older than me, however. When I was young, the "history from below" as you put it, was just one step in the direction of real, multi-nodal, deromanticized history. De-mythification needs so many more voices heard. In my domain, the mythical American West still persists. It's stubborn. 141
