Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Sorry Adam but you are falling into the American trap that equates money with intention. Maybe just maybe the Chinese simply don’t want to sell?

RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION Russia - in all it's evilness - continue it's disiformation after big success on X. Bluesky’s popularity has attracted the attention of bots from the notorious Russian disinformation network Matryoshka, which has started posting fake videos there. dev.ua/en/news/krem...

Still got legs?

The biggest threat to america is most definitely americans.

Right on Tyler. I think the original hippies just wanted to be cool (unsquare) but since then politicians have been trying to manipulate people into thinking left and right. Trump is the least cool person alive for a true hippie.

The GOP Nativity scene: No unwed mothers, Middle Eastern people, refugees, and obviously no wise men.

And yet at my lowest point who did I call on? Who will you call on at your lowest point?

I respect the way the German police do not open fire but wait for backup. They have been well trained. Kudos.

If you follow the money, you'll come to a dead end.

Yes, and why are they all "unidentified" FO's? Not one freaking photo or artifact from a UFO anywhere anytime. All these people who voted for Trump because they've "seen" something you haven't? Same thing...

Fox Business reports that cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is "on the table" for Republicans

“Trump WH's chauvinistic male-dominated culture will be exacerbated by presence of Musk, Vance,Trump Jr., Gaetz, Hegseth, & other ‘bros’ in positions of authority or influence,” @oliviatroye.bsky.social, who served as VP Pence’s national security adviser, wrote www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Yes, to me (a New Zealander) your electoral system does not work. It is gerrymandered and does not cause most people to feel that their vote matters. I think people voted maga in a last ditch attempt to change things. Things are gonna change alright but not the voting system!

Bluesky has overtaken both Instagram and Twitter for the FIRST time.

This is still true! Donald Trump is disqualified under the Traitor Exception in the 14th Amendment. He’s not eligible to hold office until Congress says so. (I am too full of turkey and too tired from cooking to get into more detail.)

Desperate MAGA gets a Community Note trying to give Donald Trump credit for brokering a peace deal between Israel and Hezbollah. Pathetic. Also, Donald Trump still hasn’t ended the war in Gaza after saying he’d do so within 24 hours after he was elected.

Shocking Uh?

Nah... Stay cool, this too shall pass.

Um I'm just as frustrated as you are but you better read Romans 13.

Yes but to me far away, It's your brother, mother or friend who think like this. The only remedy is to take the moral high road. You have done well to avoid Demonizing, Name Calling and Shouting. Trust each other... this too shall pass.

Adam, I admire your moral stand greatly but please keep it serious. Trump is about to be president but look at the bigger picture. Why are US citizens polarized and who has promoted the polarization? Neither "side" gets to "win".

1st point. The Treaty exists and both side signed it. 2nd point. He Wakaputanga also exists and I'm just a very average 1st generation Dutch/Pakeha who has learned this. Seymour needs to see more.

ICitizens of the USA are taught to be strong and proud, gotta love that Ol' Glory! Somehow though, weak guys masquerading as tough guys have been demonizing the other side and promulgating fear. In order to remain free you need to trust each other again. Don't listen to polarizing politicians.

Ask me anything you like Adam.

RUSSIA WILL DESTROY AMERICA FROM WITHIN Russia will destroy America from within. No news. Has been so for decades. But they are close now. Very close. Their man won the elections. And he will help them, and they will help him as in the elections. A divided US was the plan all the time.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Since we have PR in NZ all voices are heard. After an election policies and bottom lines are traded, and a coalition is formed. Some are always disappointed but let me say... it's way better than a first past the post system where just 2 parties get a chance. Love your work!

Trump chose who?

Can bsky.app post a gif of your own choosing? I tried using picture post button but it only showed the first frame without animating. Using the gif button only shows me some lame canned gifs.

True yesterday, true today...

It's cool... we'll still be here when the dust settles.
