That was a beautiful wrap up. Thank you for your wit, your wisdom, your insights, and your humanity. Thank you for speaking truth to power. I will miss you on Sunday mornings, but I will look for you at night. Best wishes to you.

I hear you, but Medicare is just another expensive and lame insurance scheme. Universal health care would be a better solution.

This is downright deplorable. I can’t believe that republicans really accept this and don’t do anything about it.

It’s chilling. Hard to tell whether this was a direct threat, or to drown them out, or both.

And now, trump has ordered fighter jets to fly over the press conference. Is that to scare them, or drown them out, or both? It’s absolutely chilling.

Barbara Shycoff @swimher.bsky.social · 03/09/2025
Boy oh boy, it that isn’t enough to convince people that trump has something to hide, I don’t know what will. What a disgrace.

@govwesmoore.bsky.social sure would be nice if Maryland was a part of this coalition.

I think they are afraid of him.

The Post’s handling of stories and headlines like this is why we canceled our subscription after 50 years.

He just makes shit up. Every day. And with such conviction. Since his first book through today. He doesn’t even recognize the truth anymore.

We feel the same way about the nightly news on NBC and ABC too. It’s exhausting to listen to them. They should all just calm down, slow down, and just talk to us. It’s not a surprise that they are all losing their audience.

Wow, it’s just crazy that they think that this is what people voted for. I hope they keep posting videos like this instead of keeping it hidden. Shameful. Nobody wants this.

When I recently lived on a farm in a rural part of the county, that was daily occurrence by the local kids. I guess it’s only scary when it’s minority kids in the city.

I would not be surprised if they use this moment to start grabbing up US citizens to throw away in the gulags with the immigrants that are already there. They’ll start with the homeless and teenagers.

You mean there might be watergate tapes?

Are there really people out there who still believe anything this guy says?

Someone should start a new DC paper and sign all the former Post reporters and opinion writers. Include a Metro and Sports section and we’ll start a subscription.

“his version of reality no matter how false”???!!! You sound afraid to speak truth to power too. Just call them “lies.” It sounds like this: “fear they have to toe the line and adopt his lies…” See, not hard. You can do it. There is only one reality. Stop helping them.

Thank you for your decades of service. I look forward to reading your book.

I wonder if you would include sitting on important information to put it in a book later as part of protecting their brand? It makes them more money to get a payout from a book contract than to report in the press, but it also enhances their brand, I think.

Are there really more than a few robber barons who support this? What do regular maga supporters get from this except sicker and subject to more climate disasters? Is all this just to own the libs? Why don’t they just cut off their noses?

Exactly.

So Americans will pay a 15% tax on everything coming from Europe? Is that what you meant?
000
Barbara Shycoff @swimher.bsky.social · 27/07/2025
No indication??!! Aren’t there women who claim trump abused them when they were young? I get why you are afraid to report that as fact, but why aren’t you reporting that they’ve made the claim when you report on this. Some think he is protecting his friends, others think he is protecting himself.

He lies so frequently it’s effortless.

Barbara Shycoff @swimher.bsky.social · 21/07/2025
I totally agree. He’s could shoot someone on 5th ave and s*xually assault children and they will still support him. It’s sickening. There might be a small subgroup of Q-Anon types that hate that he is covering for the elites, but that’s about it. The real electoral issue is always the economy.

Have you ever seen anyone more insanely jealous? It’s like he’s stuck in junior high and can’t cope with the fact that someone is cooler and more popular. So pathetic.

I’m confused by this. Is it fully approved or just for kids at high risk? Thank in advance.
010
Barbara Shycoff @swimher.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
No. You missed my point. Seems we are all against anyone justifying kids dying. I’m seeing people creating the impression it’s happening, but I haven’t seen it actually happening. (I guess I only follow decent people.) I’m only saying, you see people doing this, call them out directly.

Barbara Shycoff @swimher.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
Then call them out for it.

Barbara Shycoff @swimher.bsky.social · 06/07/2025
I don’t see people saying that.

Have to disagree on this one. No one wishes for anything bad to happen to the people of Texas. Ron didn’t. But just like a school shooting, now is precisely the time to remind people that GOP govt leaves you uninformed, unprepared, and without help after a crisis. Shout it from the treetops!
