If you're interested, the citizens of the United States would LOVE to see you, often, LEADING, even though you don't have the title per se. We trust you, we heard you. You have guts, grit, conviction and compassion. We need an active leader, and we want YOU.

anywhy.bsky.social•14 hours ago

You were doing so good. In my eyes, your speech raised you like 10 reputation points, but your immediate actions afterward lead me to take off 5 points for hypocrisy, and indifference to the wrongness of Israel's warmonger government. Please do better, or your accomplishment will cease to inspire.

It's disappointing to see you vote in favor of a terrible bill after giving a powerful speech

thefalconking.bsky.social•19 hours ago

I was so moved by your speech, how passionately you made the case for it not being left v right, but right v wrong, and then you voted for more bombs to Israel. We have no moral leaders anymore. It’s all a farce.

They poisoned me for allowing humor to lighten the load of my deeply burdened tender heart, & they did it to enable the same racist career child molesters that deliberately deceitfully & secretly sabotaged every aspect of my development they could to destroy me as a young adult new father

jacks-brokenheart.bsky.social•16 hours ago

& get at my baby for a fresh child to deliberately victimize, & they knew they were enabling more dysfunctional toxic narcissistic scapegoating by permanently damaging my entire already disabled nervous system & providing career child-molesters (at the time, soon to be Trump supporters)

jacks-brokenheart.bsky.social•16 hours ago

with a fresh child to entertain themselves victimizing, & terrorizing, for their sick self dissatisfaction & they shamed my baby for their body & less pale colored ancestry into becoming trans & an empty shell of my once beaming bright precocious toddler, & toxic narcissistic excuses for government

jacks-brokenheart.bsky.social•16 hours ago

employees, public officials, & other toxic narcissists never stopped enabling career child-molester terrorist Trump supporters deliberately violating us systematically destroying us for their entertainment simply so they can "feel better" than us "about themselves," & "in control."

jacks-brokenheart.bsky.social•16 hours ago

& Trump's toxic narcissism & bullying reminds me deeply & traumatically of the toxic narcissistic molestation of his fellow toxic narcissists (& Trump supporters) that terrorized & shamed my baby (17) into becoming transgender among other tragic results of their deliberate developmental interference

jacks-brokenheart.bsky.social•16 hours ago

that they wrought on both of us.

Trump is a toxic narcissist terrorist abuser bullying & gaslighting us & enabling his fellow toxic narcissists to molest our development more & worse in their methods, & I doubt if I can even take more of it, & of course, I am more worried about my precious baby...
