Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 1hWhen I think of "negative charisma", JD Vance comes to mind. 010
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 2hWho else was Trump best friends with for more than a decade? Any thoughts? 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 3hSame day: Flynn: "You certified an election the base rejected" MAGA's notion of democracy is that the base, not the general public, determines what elections are legit. If the base rejects an election result, it should be thwarted. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 3hWhen McCarthy stepped down as House Speaker, Tom Emmer was a top contender for the job ... until Trump spiked it. Now he's MAGA, or rather MAGelded. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 3h"boxcutters" is Trump's attempt to make those he accuses of vandalism to be like the terrorists that hijacked planes on 9/11. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 5hA top-tier facility would never release information without being absolutely sure the person or outfit requesting it was entitled to it. Randos? GTFOOH 030
Reposted by Dana DeckerSteven Axelrod @stevenaxelrod.bsky.social · 6hA thing I do when I'm appalled by MAGA is give a small donation to whoever is opposing them. It doesn't make a difference, but I find it makes me feel better. At least I've done something. I'm donating $10 to Talarico. 58512

Their incentives are entirely emotional: status preservation, positional dominance, alleviating boredom, etc. It's no surprise they typically regress into spoiled children. 835380
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10hI wonder if she will make the White House look even worse to undecided voters in the next three weeks. I think so. 130
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10hJust realized that Trump is calling for an ENERGY CEASEFIRE, without suggesting an ATTACKS ON CIVILIANS CEASEFIRE. It's obvious he (a) wants to help Putin and (b) doesn't care about Ukraine or its inhabitants (or generally speaking, human life). 110
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 15hHe's setting up a tripwire - that will be crossed - to justify halting *all* remaining U.S. support for Ukraine. 150
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Mike Flynn speaks the truth (over at the hellsite). Addressing Mike Pence: "You certified an election the base rejected" MAGA's notion of democracy is that the base, not the general public, determines what elections are legit. If the base rejects an election result, it should be thwarted. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Yeah, today felt like a turning point. If that's the case, will invitees to the G20 December meeting at Trump's golf course start to make excuses for not showing up? Especially since Trump invited Putin. 020
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Don't show Trump the Periodic Table of Elements or he'll want to rename them after himself, relatives, and golf courses. You know he'd start with the rare earths. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I still haven't recovered from the polls the week before the 2020 presidential election that showed Biden up ~8% over Trump. I like what I'm seeing this year, but I'm trying to be emotionally neutral about them. I'll vote with grim determination and see how it shakes out.en.wikipedia.orgNationwide opinion polling for the 2020 United States presidential election - WikipediaCalculated averages are not comparable to those for the Biden vs. Trump polls. As polling with third parties has been very limited, the polls included in the average are often different. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Gary Kasparov said today that “Trump is Putin’s business partner”. It’s short (5 words) and on point. Cuts through the guesswork about Trump's obsequiousness towards Putin, and points out the real reason Witkoff and Kushner are involved. It’s not about peace. 010
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026"Trump is Putin's business partner" is short (5 words) and on point. It cuts through the guesswork about Trump's obsequiousness towards Putin, and confusion over the complex, and fading, U.S. support of Ukraine. 110
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Trump will use this to blame Ukraine for high diesel/gas prices, instead of his war on Iran. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I think (and hope) that by now, Ukraine, Europe, and others have reached a point where Trump's leverage is nearly zero. There's still U.S. sharing intel, which can be obtained elsewhere, if of lesser quality (but enough to do the job?). 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Trump still trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize like Obama did. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026That's funny. I've experienced that. SOLUTION: Double the time, half intensity (level 5 or 50%), cover with cheap plastic microwave spatter cover. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Trump's arrangement with Putin has two objectives: Help Putin vis-a-vis sanctions Give Trump an excuse for high gas/diesel prices - Ukraine 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026While Trump is a nuisance, the real problem here is that the Legal System™ allows him to do things like that. Where are the Bar associations disbarring lawyers involved? Where are the judges quick to sanction and issue stiff fines? Our Legal System looks like a guild that protect their own. 010
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026That the Legal System allows this should be one reason why our present Legal System - attorneys, Bar associations, prosecutors, and judges - deserve NO respect until the state of affairs is remedied. And I mean everyone. I don't care who it is (good or bad). Collectively they're all responsible. 010
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Outstanding picture. I stared at it for a few minutes. 010
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026"Transit through vital waterway rose close to 90% of prewar levels last month" That's astonishing. The Strait is only 21 miles at it's narrowest point. How can tankers avoid being struck? Unless it's foggy, simply looking at the area should reveal what's going on. Don't need radar or satellites. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Demanding people use words in a particular way is an attempt to dominate. Look at this guy licking Trump's boot. bsky.app/profile/atru... I wish he'd insist everyone in the White House address him as "Your Majesty". Just to make it blindingly obvious what a sordid person Trump is. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Anyone (other than grammarians and linguists) demanding people use language in a particular way, are doing it to assert domination. 210

Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Apparently Rios doesn't care about Trump being an adjudicated rapist, coup attempter, long time friend of a notorious pedophile, businessman who committed 30+ felonies, liar, vandal, sadist, and thief. I could go on, but there's a character limit that constrains me. 000
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Maybe a Bar association might be interested in doing something instead of ignoring the misbehavior. 020
Dana Decker @thedanadecker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026FYI, when Steinway pianos were removed, they took down the tarp. Trump's name is gone but the remnant of the letters remain. 020
