tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Senate Democrats: 213 of your fellow Democrats in the House stood up to the Republicans' attempt to enable a monarchy. Do NOT play "Follow the Leader" in the Senate! Vote AGAINST cloture and let Republicans explain why they didn't work with Democrats on a compromise. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025The Senate should not vote for cloture. House Democrats should return to Washington and announce they are ready to negotiate and ask the Republicans to join them to find a common ground to stop the shutdown. And if they do not return, and are not holding town halls, call them out daily or more. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I just called one of my senators, sent an email to the other, and wrote to Schumer asking him to reconsider his decision. You know the Kennedy Center chairman will be crowing loud and long about his victory and the willingness of the Democrats roll over and play dead. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 12/03/2025If I hear one more "pundit" call Social Security entitlement, I want them to give up claims to their "entitlement" now and have the money sent to a cancer research charity of their choice that they are not affiliated with. And have their employer do the same. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 11/03/2025...And if they do pass something, we all know that the Bobsey Twins will ignore any designation on how the money is spent and either not spend it or use it on another 10 or 12 golfing holidays for the Kennedy Center chairman and another four or five Madame President Musk Roman candles. 010
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Let's face it- if Congress does not pass something by Friday, the government will shut down... unless Kennedy Center chairman and Madame President Musk does it first. 000

tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Is there any chance that during the Congressional break people can march around their representatives' offices 24 hours a day for the duration? Keep reminding them of what their job is? Don't block people, don't harass people, just make them know you are there and watching. 010
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 07/03/2025X If the DOGE "code hackers / experts" are so good, why doesn't Madame President Musk have them working on software so his Cyberdunks won't serve into traffic or catch fire 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 06/03/2025If any fired government worker wants to go back into the building, just walk up to security and say "I was fired yesterday, but they want to unfire me today." Chances are it will work because (a) they don't know and (b) it is probably true. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 06/03/2025My personal wish is that Canada says "Thanks for taking off the tariffs. We're keeping ours in place against you. We are stopping our knee-jerk reactions to your jerk reactions and will see if you calm down and learn a lesson. For now, go sit in a corner and think about what you've done." 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 06/03/2025I was not impressed by the pilot episode of the new reality game show "No Truths, Just Lies" last night- definitely too long and an overbearing host who should stick to his day job of Kennedy Center chairman. 010

tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 05/03/2025YOU are not humilated when two people gang up on you, yell at you, and don't let you speak and when you do speak, you remain calm. And I wish media would remember that when they are writing headlines. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 04/03/2025I wish newscasters would stop saying this is a change in the US position- it is a change in TRUMP'S position, he does not represent 50% or more of us per the last election (and the two before that). 000

tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 13/02/2025X The only thing that might stop a government shutdown in March is that President Busk and their associate, Grump, will realize a lot less money will go to them while it is stopped. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 13/02/2025All Americans are now part of the 4.2%... of the world's population who sees "Gulf of 'Merica" when Googling "Gulf of America". 010
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 11/02/2025I think a lot of people should start Googling "Gulf of Mexico", like as much as possible. Oh, the first map that shows up gives the wrong name, but all others show "Gulf of Mexico". I also left a 1 star review saying there is not such place, no other map on earth shows it. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 11/02/2025What if you live in a blue state, but the senator in the next state says they are supporting Grump nominees? Write them and say you will no longer be doing business in their state- especially since they have a sales tax and yours doesn't. 010

tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 09/02/2025I believe people should go to a store like WalMart on the 28th and do a lot of shopping with a credit card... ... and immediately return the items to the service desk for a refund. Chances are WalMart will not recoup all of the credit card fees they are charged, costing them money. 000
