Rough day, right? I didn’t watch, but I’m just sitting down to get caught up on the latest news. We have to allow ourselves to feel how we feel, but also stay aware of what we are facing and what’s coming. Me right now… - ThreadSky

I was really relaxed today. I didn’t hear any Breaking News about how many times Trump used the bathroom. Then I tried to watch the comedy shows tonight to get funny updates of today. Discovered there is nothing really to laugh about from today.

reply

bluealways.bsky.social•34 days ago

When Trump took the oath of the office, his hand wasn't on or anywhere near the Bible.

Does he think that he didn't take an oath to the Constitution since his hand wasn't on the Bible? It wouldn't surprise me.
