There are many, more eloquent than me who have noted the problems of treating politics as sport. But the one that gets me most is that when you put unqualified, egocentric grifters in power people die. And the penalty is never as great as the crime. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... - ThreadSky

They are playing zero sum games with the happiness, well-being & lives with the rest of us. We aren't even real to them. Just widgets to be moved around or tossed out. And are the courts going to save us if IQ47 can run to the SCOTUS & get stays. This is not normal. This is going to be hard to fix.

These nuts don’t treat politics as sport. They treat it as entertainment. Our government is just another “reality” show.

And that is exactly was has and is happening. Unqualified people burning the house down like an arsonist.

(And for whatever it’s worth, the “way more eloquent than me” list is folks like @jayrosen.bsky.social, @juddlegum.bsky.social and @volts.wtf. Give them a follow.)

This is what got me. It’s self-aggrandizing lies with no underlying empathy for the costs of their actions.

Sue them in every state.
Without due process, they are assuming that all government employees are guilty.
This is illegal. Innocent until proven guilty is the law of the land.
Now no one is immune.
Please sue them to Stop the illegal purge of government employees.

They hate all of humanity except for themselves and wish the rest of us would just die.
