Don't forget that we can afford to give Musk 200 million to fly to the ISS before the agreed upon return data in the already established procedure.

Preach!!! This is ridiculous. The far right has handed the keys to grifters, and racists due to their win at all cost mentality. I worry we are losing our Moderates, both Liberals and Conservatives. Differences of opinion now polarize to the extremes. It used to be acceptable to agree to disagree.

What are we thanking him for?

Reminding us all of the fragility of democracy?

I hope he's prepared for the yawning, the crickets and the universal battle cry of the rest of the world = BULLSHIT! The biggest criminal is #Felon47 . . . Trump is a scumbag felon!

faith54.bsky.social•13 hours ago

and the campaign will likely cost $20M and run through the office of one of his buddies so he gets to pocket 180M . . . just sayin' and I could be wrong!😂

That raises an important point about government spending priorities. It's concerning when essential services like air traffic control are underfunded while funds are allocated for such campaigns

This ad should have porn music behind it.

@wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social This is NOT how Oregonians want their taxpayer dollars spent.

That headline ... we're at unimaginable levels of sycophancy.

Who got the money?

willc2.bsky.social•6 hours ago

You are right. Ridiculous waste of money and wrong. Conflating to air traffic controllers, where they have not cut is also wrong

Campaign finance embezzlement

headasploding.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I'm no math whiz, but couldn't $200 million pay for about 2000 air traffic controllers? But I'm sure we're safer by fawning over our king who writes our economic and foreign policies with fingerpaint and crayons.

And the inevitable legal fees/back pay from the federal layoffs. This administration is definitely gonna save money.

Something that's been bothering me is that there is a serious contradiction on our side of the fence. If people really believe what they say, why are they buying the products and investing their money into the companies of the billionaires responsible for this stuff?

I don't see any movement to boycott Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon - all of them were represented at an inauguration they didn't have to appear at, and all of them contributed to the inauguration fund. They all bent the knee.

We are addicted, and thus not in control. That's the contradiction.

These all need citations to demonstrate.

Yes. Not a fun conclusion.
