@smerconish.bsky.social You just referred to Khalil's arrest being related to the US policy of reducing antisemitism; but how does that square with presidential pardons for notoriously antisemitic white supremacist groups?

@smerconish.bsky.social Sextortion. Yet another example of the despicable problems that will grow as the government guts agencies and the programs that work to protect citizens from predators and crooks. But by God we're gonna save some money, aren't we.

@smerconish.bsky.social The poll answer should be obvious to anyone. It's obvious Trump knows nothing about issues and ramifications, and by most definitions, he has no leadership skills. So issues it is.

@smerconish.bsky.social Sorry Michael; instead of your nebulous question about a third DT term, I want to know why so few people appear willing to stand up and defend their constitution?

@smerconish.bsky.social Cool. Fire a bunch of my friends and neighbors (who provide needed services) and send me a check that comes from their firing. Duh.

@smerconish.bsky.social So... the Oscar's are just like the government... Trump's proposed meritocracy is all cool until you offend someone.

@smerconish.bsky.social The damage being done to our culture and institutions by Trump will trash our position in the world, and the damage to our nation will never be repaired. We are all going to be screwed.

@smerconish.bsky.social Notice how nobody seems to ever use the words "Trump" and "integrity" in the same discussion?

@smerconish.bsky.social Notice how Rep Donald's never mentioned a grand jury and evidence.

@smerconish.bsky.social Why is everyone continuously dancing around the real issue? Donald Trump is out to destroy this country. It makes no difference whether it's his greed or stupidity; half the electorate chose him, but we will ALL pay the final price.

@smerconish.bsky.social So, let me make sure I understand this correctly... the Jan 6 pardons mean that, if I'm pissed off at what the government is doing, I can now break into federal buildings, destroy property, intimidate officials, and beat up anyone who opposes me? Right? Gonna get real ugly.

#trump #democracy #jan6 So, let me make sure I understand yesterdays events of correctly... The new executive orders mean that, if I'm pissed off at what the government is doing, I can now break into federal buildings, destroy property, intimidate officials, and beat up anyone who opposed me? Right?

@smerconish.bsky.social Kamala lost for many reasons, not just one. Economy, race, sexism, border, etc, etc. But I believe the biggest reason is that too big a percentage of the electorate is gullible enough to fall for too many conspiracy theories.

@smerconish.bsky.social Yes, yes, yes! DO spend more time on the social media input. It's the real world at the moment you're on the air.

@smerconish.bsky.social If we accept ICE raiding places such as churches at weddings and funerals, what's to stop future raids in those places by a future hard right agency to arrest same sex wedding partners, or even mixed race brides and groomes. Where is the line that extremists won't cross.

@smerconish.bsky.social Yes, the NY murder was tragic. Yes, there have always been fringe lunatics who did those things. Yes, it's sad that it's become accepted. But why is it that none of you in the media talk about the fact that Trump's mouth and actions are a big reason for the normalization.

@smerconish.bsky.social The health insurance industry as a whole has cared more about profits than peoples' well-being for decades. The death of one of their own may shock the industry, but ultimately their love of profit margins will prevail.

@smerconish.bsky.social would the mens teams allow that player on their team after the transistion?

@smerconish.bsky.social So... I gotta ask; is all the ultra-processed stuff that 70% of Americans are eating every day the reason that the electorate is so ignorant?

Deep state? Really?? I'm sick and tired of the chump and his mini chumps bitching about how the deep state is out to get them. B.S.!! If there was REALLY a left-wing deep state conspiracy out to get them, Trump would be dead, not just prosecuted. #deepstate #maga

March 1933 The Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

All the Monday morning election quarterbacking is totally useless. We're on the precipice of disaster because at least half of the electorate is either too stupid or too lazy to do their duty and seek out the truth about those they elect. Yet another result of the dumbing down of America.

Okay... I quit X for the third time about three weeks ago because I couldn't take it any longer. Every time I quit, I swore I'd never have anything more to do with it. And every time I went back, it was worse than I remembered. But now... eureka... sanity!! Thank you to whomever is making it happen.
