tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I really enjoyed Frostbite. Thanks for all your efforts (and of course Ms. Guerra’s efforts too.) 112
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 30/09/2026My usual behavior is NO interacting with drivers behaving badly, or driving like an idiot. It’s just too dangerous. I reserve yelling for safety moments only. I do acknowledge positive behaviors with a head nod or wave. I also do my very best to stay away from vehicles as much as possible. 130

tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Democratic advisors are usually wrong. In this instance - I wonder if there is a financial angle for this type of crap advice? 020
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I’m thinking people who carry a lot of weight know it wasn’t about them. “Fat” doesn’t mean between the ears. 010

tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 25/08/2026This is crazy shit. We live in the most stupid time ever. Thanks, tech overlords. 080
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The utter stupidity of it all is killing me, but then again - if you understand it as stupid extortion by the world’s worst negotiator then it kind of makes complete stupid sense. 000
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I’ve thought from the beginning that the Orange Monster was our first professional wrestling president. The Orange Monster’s wrestling character - “Mean Girl”. 010
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Current American fascism is Slob Fascism (or Casual Fascism). They just cannot be bothered to make the big effort. “Will lunch be provided? A ride home afterwards? Is the place air conditioned? I just prefer sweats and stretch pants when I’m marching for authoritarian rule, OK.” 130
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Why can’t I be pissed now and in January? Jeffries is doing a terrible job reading the room (he Is waaaaaay off from what the party base wants and expects.) 031
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 24/08/2026He’s a sociopath and is clueless about people. He only understands bribery and extortion. Just agreeing to talk makes him think he has “leverage” and can press for more. Trump is likely the worst negotiator in the world. 040
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 23/08/2026He “knows“ tariffs are an extortion tool. He knows this because he only understands bribery and extortion. Everything he does is at some level based in bribery or extortion. Everything. 000
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I want weekly Kavanaugh Stops for a certain Justice. Just to make sure he’s a citizen and not an illegal immigrant. 000
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I thought any future Dem prez must wreck it, but that‘s not likely now given the underground features. Now I think it should be painted completely black - including furniture and windows. In the middle of the ballroom can be a pile of Trump fake gold. A testament to the world of a dark time here. 200
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Haven’t tried that. Nothing has helped my tinnitus. Fortunately it has become kind of white noise to me now. 000
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 15/08/2026The non stop money grubbing is just bizarre. Every last thing these criminals do is to make one more buck. 050

tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 02/08/2026It should read: “If Asian allies can convince Donald Trump that he can get kickbacks and payoffs regarding (anything) he may be willing to do (anything).” 040
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 02/08/2026It’s a nightmare for the rest of us, but it would help if the media started not reporting the BS story and instead say something along the lines of: “Donald Trump said (something . . .), and presented no evidence to back up his story, and he has a history of making up stories to suit the moment.” 210
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 02/08/2026At this point with his dementia he likely cannot tell the difference and believes his BS. 010
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 02/08/2026He doesn’t care if what he says is a lie or the truth. He’s only saying something for the moment. He’s done this his whole life. (Sociopaths usually have this skill.) When he’s called on something he said he doubles down on the BS and at that point he likely knows what he said isn’t true. 010
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 02/08/2026It’s worse than lying. The BS artist (and in this case a deep sociopath) doesn’t have any regard for whether something is true or false. 110
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 02/08/2026It’s bullshit first with the Monster. He may or may not say something that’s truthful. He doesn’t care. It’s all for the needed affect of the moment. When he says something that suckers bite on he runs with it. Add dementia and he likely believes his own BS at this point. 100
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The problem has existed since the Orange Monster stepped on the political stage. He makes up everything. Usually on the spot. It’s not pure lying. He usually doesn’t lie until he gets caught with the BS story and then does the double down. Media should report it as a BS story. 100
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 31/07/2026This is exactly right. I always caution fellow riders to defensively look out for ourselves at all times, and trust nobody behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Also - avoid an angry response to bad driving. You can never tell how crazy they will get. 010
tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 31/07/2026From what I read we should refer to the Orange Monster as “President Incontinentia Buttocks”. 110

tinalternative.bsky.social @tinalternative.bsky.social · 21/06/2026True, but more accurately he makes up everything on the spot. He is the greatest bullshit artist ever produced by this nation (and that is saying something.) Everything is for effect - and the audience currently in front of him or who he imagines is watching FOX or the like. 000

Eventually President Vance Thiel will embrace the orange makeup and dyed locks of the master in hopes of gaining MAGA love. It won’t go over well. 000
