Writing fiction (otherwise known as lies or misinformation) is what Trump Republicans and Russians do. It's like breathing. It comes naturally.

Occam just slit his wrists with his razor.

That twitter place is a cesspool, thanks god I do not have to go to that hell hole any longer. Let them yell into their own void.

I don’t miss this stuff at all

Democrats would never do something so popular that would get them elected

jung-thug.bsky.social•85 days ago

You can tell the Democrats weren't behind this because it's not a plan to study the feasibility of giving an insurance CEO a wet willy 10 years from now that's also a multi billion dollar tax break for a bunch of oil companies.

umbrumray.bsky.social•86 days ago

pfft like pelosi is that cool.

wumpus-cave.net•85 days ago

If there's actual evidence beyond casual association, then by all means, prosecute Pelosi.

They never understood that we don't line up to protect Democrats the way they protect Republicans. Half of us want Pelosi to burn in hell, anyway.

lol as if

I am in Canada and our media can't stop talking about this manhunt, like the man is some sort of hero. Why does our media treat billionares like kings or heads of state? I ask but then reminded of how US election turned out and realize the media is responsible. As 🇨🇦 we believe healthcare human right

rnschltz.bsky.social•83 days ago

There doesn’t seem to be either a priority, or just competence by NYPD.

Either way, I’m good with it.

chuckgrape.bsky.social•85 days ago

You know they're cooked when they think Nancy Pelosi did something cool.

pizzaparker.bsky.social•85 days ago

I wish these people a very Occam's razor

noonan66.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yes! It is Nancy’s fault we don’t have universal healthcare 🤷‍♂️

e6n.bsky.social•85 days ago

If only they'd done it a month or so ago it might have drummed up support

jubbyroots.bsky.social•85 days ago

I can’t believe Tim Walz killed that guy. I guess that’s what happens when you hang out with Cheney too much

darthmakhno.bsky.social•85 days ago

this is hilarious. like any feckless democrat would pull off such an epic move.

clarkes428.bsky.social•86 days ago

Why is it Nancy Pelosi and Tim Walz can apparently kill CEOs and Hillary Clinton can apparently kill political enemies and they can rig House races and other smaller elections- but apparently they aren't competent enough to rig the Presidential Election? 🤔
Their lack of logic is impressive really.

holydude.bsky.social•85 days ago

Don't you know? They tried, but Trump's win was "too big to rig"

opals25.bsky.social•85 days ago

They even think they can rig the presidential election once, just not a second time!

doubleharold.bsky.social•85 days ago

Nancy Pelosi, famed enemy of exploitative CEOs.

skeptictank.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yes, notorious enemy of the rich Nancy Pelosi 😑

drgsallday.bsky.social•85 days ago

What was Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, doing at an event held by the University of Minnesota, that was also attended by the CEO of one of the largest employers in Minnesota? Inquiring minds need to know!
