Who was behind the misrouted ballots? The US postmaster general?

stephaniepyt.bsky.social•167 days ago

What’s your thoughts on Trump and Ukraine?

carolconniesmom.bsky.social•167 days ago

I have a serious question. Do you think that there is a chance that there are enough Republicans in both houses that would convert to Democrats to give Dems a majority so our country can be saved?

huffandpuff.bsky.social•167 days ago

Good one!

carolconniesmom.bsky.social•167 days ago

Thank you. I don't know what else to do than ask these questions 😢

kuniaboy.bsky.social•167 days ago

Sadly the ones that had some sort of principals and moral fiber were pushed over the edge his first term.

travelbugnyc.bsky.social•167 days ago

Dream scenario 🙏

carolconniesmom.bsky.social•167 days ago

I know. Some dreams do come true or maybe not but there is always hope.

fedtfupofthemall.bsky.social•167 days ago

So get to the nitty gritty- what does it usually take (& it’s not principles) for those to do something? $$ etc & at this point imo we need billionaires on the right side of history to friggin pay them to do the right thing & convert? It’s all I got sorry bc we’re in deep deep sht now & NEED as much

fedtfupofthemall.bsky.social•167 days ago

Help IMMEDIATELY as possible. Not normally anything I’d think or say but desperate times… and that’s the one thing I know - most all of them can be bought?

weareverysorry.bsky.social•167 days ago

That would be wonderful, but I’d give it a snowball’s chance in hell.

gg54.bsky.social•167 days ago

I don’t.

kvconner.bsky.social•166 days ago

I'm embarrassed to ask but will anyway - How are the many security services going to function, Homeland Secuirty The CIA etc Will we have any credibility sharing intelligence or our allies share intelligence with the U. S.?

doge-shit.bsky.social•165 days ago

jesus take the wheel, duh

lisalaughlin.bsky.social•167 days ago

How the F do we survive with our country intact

mom4life.bsky.social•167 days ago

I’d like to know that as well?

trista7488.bsky.social•167 days ago

Me too!!!

siddakarim.bsky.social•167 days ago

mirihawk.bsky.social•166 days ago

ramamurty.bsky.social•167 days ago

How scary is the cabinet that Trump is assembling and will the Senate seriously approve some of his nominations? Can you also follow me back?

hobbyfringe.bsky.social•167 days ago

Now that people are moving over to blue-sky, should everyone now delete there accounts.
Can I ask kindly Tristan, will u be doing that.
I just think it's the right thing for everyone to do.

chandramarice.bsky.social•167 days ago

Why hasn’t there been a consideration to request a hand recount in NC? To me, that’s where there are lots of questions about the believability of vote totals at the presidential level given how other statewide races concluded.

everesther.bsky.social•167 days ago

I'd like to know that too, Chandra.
Have you seen this today?

nikki3877.bsky.social•167 days ago

And, will MSNBC be harassed until they "conform?" Is there a way we can build them up? I have given up on all other msm. (And our local news is a joke). Thanks for all you do, and keeping us all as sane as possible right now.

nikki3877.bsky.social•167 days ago

Will senate R's, who are getting harassed/threatened daily by Rump, realize they lose all their power if they don't vet his disgusting picks?MTG threatened them in a post to conform or they would reveal things about them. Gaetz would be free to go after anyone that displease Rump. How weak are they?

chelseaamusic.bsky.social•167 days ago

Could I get a follow back on X?

laurus-nobilis1.bsky.social•167 days ago

Why hasn’t Trump had to pay E Jean Carroll yet?

pinkmoonthoughts.bsky.social•167 days ago

Are the “roadblocks” Dems are putting up now really roadblocks? Do you see trump and his insane 🤡 posse overriding all laws and statutes?

marcaulac.bsky.social•167 days ago

Who are going to be the next newscaster (s) to replicate Mika & Joe (MSNBC) by knee bending and ring kissing of the king?

huffandpuff.bsky.social•167 days ago

Replace Joe & Mika with The Weekend Hosts…

..this trio have done a great job Saturday & Sunday mornings, they’re on top of their game & engaging.

nikki3877.bsky.social•167 days ago

What a great idea!

marcaulac.bsky.social•167 days ago

That would be a great idea. 👍

Any chance this guy is on to something? https://substack.com/home/post/p-151721941

susanpatrick1.bsky.social•167 days ago

Just a basic question. We followed each other over there. I followed you here. Can you followback? https://susanpatrick1.bsky.social thanks in advance.

leafonthewind2517.bsky.social•167 days ago

Hi Tristan! This online community is a blessing. When we're scared, it helps to know we're not alone. It would be great if we could start organizing local support networks as well. Any thoughts on how we go about doing that?

sesametofu.bsky.social•167 days ago

Hi Tristan,
So glad to find you again here on Bluesky!

Trump & his cronies on the campaign trail said they’d completely “tear up” the Constitution & enact their own laws.
What steps could they take to actually do that, would it be effective, and how can we stop them?

Thanks so much!

firstcupcoffee2.bsky.social•167 days ago

Recess appointments are supposed to be for filling positions that come up at the time of a recess. Am I wrong? Not for intentionally recessing to fill appointments.

mgbarker66.bsky.social•167 days ago

Could President Biden preemptively pardon any general or military leader that may be targeted by the incoming administration? Could he do the same for DACA recipients? I believe Carter did something like this for citizens who avoided the Vietnam draft illegally.

harrytrumanfan.bsky.social•167 days ago

So Gaetz resigned his current House seat. If Trump pulls his nomination, would Gaetz return in the new Congress because of his reelection?

huffandpuff.bsky.social•167 days ago

Yup, pedophile, sex trafficking, druggy grandstanding trickster Matt Gaetz only resigned the current Congress.

gg54.bsky.social•167 days ago

But if he’s not in Congress how is he re elected?

granma11.bsky.social•166 days ago

Follow back please sir !
💙🇺🇸

peterfotopoulos.bsky.social•166 days ago

This is a good time to revisit the Porcine Puppet of Putin's first crime as president in 2017: violating what he calls "the phony Emoluments Clause" of the Constitution. It will be even worse this time with his SCOTUS-granted immunity.

notgoingforward.bsky.social•167 days ago

I read your opinion about Dems not having media in place should mSNBC fail. Since it is owned by a Trumper, few of its anchors have been all in sounding the alarm against him.

We need real advocates, not ones who want to sane wash him or debate trivialities.

How do we get that?

larrybirdlover.bsky.social•166 days ago

I’m still waiting for the follow back you talked about

steverino76.bsky.social•167 days ago

Why isn't anyone even talking about challenging the validity of Trump v. Anderson, 601 U.S. 100 (2024)?

Just enjoin the electors.

The Constitution is NOT what judges say it is;
it is what THE CONSTITUTION says it is.

Proof below.

Citing Bork and Scalia would give the Right heartburn!!!

lukesd8.bsky.social•167 days ago

CAN SWEET POTATO HITLER B IMPEACHED B4 INAUGURATION?

yourdesignagent.bsky.social•167 days ago

Would love to know more about Musks propaganda micro-targeting to pick off Harris voters with disinfo

tomegraves.bsky.social•167 days ago

Are we ok. ???

5cg26.bsky.social•167 days ago

If you want to be a dictator on day one how can you swear an oath to defend the constitution?

duwamishgirl.bsky.social•167 days ago

Could Ron DeSantis reappoint Matt Gaetz to his previous job?

bertski.bsky.social•167 days ago

Do you think that Kamala should call for a couple states to have hand recounts, just to be sure everything matches up?

babsart.bsky.social•167 days ago

I would like to see this happen too.

casey01.bsky.social•167 days ago

With the architect of Project 2025 likely to hold a high level position, how much of the P2025 mandates can we expect to see within the next 12 months?

mommabird2.bsky.social•167 days ago

Why does it feel like radio silence from everyone but his crazed supporters—both sides of gov't, usually-loud celebrities—the silence is confusing.

plasmawhisperer.bsky.social•167 days ago

Tristan let’s be friends!!!

falterj.bsky.social•167 days ago

What kind of protections could President Biden put in place now for the Department of Education, social security, Medicare and Medicaid, and HHS that would make it harder for Felon and Co. to dismantle?(if all of that is too much to explore at at one sitting then anyone of those would be awesome)

kimsimmons11.bsky.social•166 days ago

I know the election results are final, but do you think the Biden Administration has set up any significant road blocks to slow down the erosion of democracy?

wayercree.bsky.social•167 days ago

have all mail-in ballots been counted and verified?

80 million voted b4 11/5.

janeypoo7.bsky.social•167 days ago

Can we sue FoxNews in a class action lawsuit for lying to its viewers for decades? We have to hold the people lying to Americans accountable for the mess they created. Was this ever an option? I know it probably wouldn't work now with red control over the judiciary. Thanks.

juliadilliard.bsky.social•167 days ago

Faux news has claimed, in court, that they're an entertainment network and everyone knows that they're lying. So, no. It wouldn't work to file a class action lawsuit against them.

sfcbenny.bsky.social•166 days ago

Rupert Murderdoch admitted under oath that they lie all the time and millions do not care. They play into the bigotries and fears of lots of people because that's what they want.

juliadilliard.bsky.social•166 days ago

Exactly.

jsmithdromey.bsky.social•166 days ago

What kind of defense is that? So...they can quit with the quotes if they are entertainment only and remove "NEWS" from the name. It's deliberately misleading.

juliadilliard.bsky.social•166 days ago

Yes. It is. Therein is the problem. The vast majority of the faux "news" audience believe it's authentic news reporting. It a just world they would have to quit using the term, "news" to describe their content &, instead, attach the word, "entertainment."

jsmithdromey.bsky.social•166 days ago

I find it incredible that some people don't know the difference, but I agree with you 100%.

janeypoo7.bsky.social•167 days ago

What about OAN, Breitbart, etc?

juliadilliard.bsky.social•167 days ago

Good question.

mossman26.bsky.social•167 days ago

Are we ever going to hear from Merrick Garland again? 🤪

jacqueline2024.bsky.social•166 days ago

Hi Tristan!
My question will seem naive to most, but this is the question pressing my heart & mind, at the moment:
I'm keeping up with news, sharing facts & signing petitions. (Some say phoning Senators etc. is best(?)
What else can I/we do at the moment?
