It's truly sad how dumb and corrupt our current leaders are.

Don’t pull an "Elon." Have integrity. Stick to the facts. And don’t fabricate your own reality.

Elon is pretending that Pete Hegseth is qualified to lead the massive DoD (he’s not).
Worse, Elon is ignoring the fact that Pete's own mother is on record - in an email to her son - essentially confirming the reporting about Hegseth's issues with women.

Current Example: Pete Hegseth's nomination to run the Department of Defense.
Elon continues to support this nomination. Today, he posted a clip of Hegseth's mother defending her son on Fox News.

Vaccine Injury System Gaps: Notes the inadequacy of existing systems to fairly compensate individuals for vaccine-related injuries.
Serious vaccine side effects were exceedingly rare. The benefits of vaccination in saving lives and preventing severe illness vastly outweighed the risks.

WHO and CCP Influence: Accuses the WHO of prioritizing Chinese Communist Party interests over transparent global health guidance.
The WHO led global vaccine distribution efforts & issued essential guidance that helped mitigate the pandemic globally.

Nursing Home Policies: Criticizes state directives that led to COVID-positive admissions in nursing homes, resulting in preventable deaths.
These decisions were made early in the pandemic under severe resource constraints & incomplete info. States with different policies faced similar challenges.

post
Vaccine Mandates Critique: Argues mandates infringed on personal freedoms without significantly curbing transmission; natural immunity was underemphasized.
Vaccines dramatically reduced hospitalization & death. Mandates helped increase vaccination rates, which saved lives.

post
Agency Failures: Highlights systemic inefficiencies in the CDC, NIH, and FDA, eroding public trust and hindering effective response.
Those agencies developed and deployed vaccines at record speed, reducing the pandemic's toll. Public trust issues stemmed partly from MAGA disinformation.

Lab Leak Theory Suppression: The report claims leading officials may have dismissed the lab leak theory due to political pressures, not science.
The lab leak theory remains unproven, with no conclusive evidence to date, and investigations are ongoing.

I believe in America. 😊 I know you do too.
Quite honestly, America was ready for a woman president with Hillary Clinton, and she was about to win.
Had it not been for the Comey announcement in the final moments of that election she would have been president.

I'm sorry, as a Biden supporter and grateful for what he's done, he would not have won. That debate sealed the deal.
And if you look at the final counts, Harris nearly won, which tells me she would have won had her campaign not been 3 months old compared to Trump 10 year machine.
comment in response to
post
Harris didn't lose because she ran a bad campaign. She didn't.
She lost, in large part, because her campaign was thrown together and barely a few months old.
Democrat leadership, not the boots on the ground, NEVER rise to the occasion. We need to fix that.

As an active Democrat for decades, there's quite a bit the Democratic party could have done different.
Most notable, one that I listed, they could have started preparing a candidate FOUR YEARS AGO instead of in the last 2 months of the most consequential election in our lifetime.

post
When did I blame the D's for the R's?
We're all very well aware how corrupt MAGA is. That doesn't absolve the Democratic party leadership of the mistakes they continue to make.

The end-goal is the undermining of American checks and balances, so that they can more easily skew the system in their favor and pretend it isn't happening.
Just like every other authoritarian dictatorship

At the end of the day, it's not an option to stop fighting for this country.
We celebrate with our families this holiday season, lick our wounds, then get back at it in 2025.

There’s only one thing more powerful than fighting for something you believe in: fighting against something you don’t.
Democrats better learn that lesson fast - and figure out how to counter it.

"Neither Sacks nor Musk, of course, has any idea what they’re talking about. They’re figures with massive resources and influence, yet they don’t seem capable of distinguishing good information from bad."
True. Musk in particular doesn't care what's true. He only cares what comes out of X.

I think it gets leaked anyway, in the next few weeks.

How do we make Bluesky an effective communication, information, and planning tool for this community, and not a closed-ended echo chamber that does more damage than it does good?
Would love to know everyone's thoughts.

We have a real chance to harness Bluesky as a preparation hub for the next four years and the 2026/2028 elections.
For this to work, we need to pledge to embrace TRUTH, no matter how uncomfortable.
Bluesky can't become "the other side's Truth Social."
Here's the question that needs an answer: 👇

None of it will ever become law.
Musk got played, and so did every Musk-worshipper who thought he was about to revolutionize government.
They all deserve what they're about to get.

Instead, Musk will be Trump’s limp, powerless advisor with a stupid name.
Trump is going to keep him busy running around govt looking for places to cut budgets and fire people - proposals that would still need to go through Congress, get crammed into bills, debated, rewritten, and passed.

REALITY
Musk’s getting played.
He's Trump's new Kleenex: useful for a while, before you throw it away and get a new one.
He was used to help Trump win the presidency, and he’s going to end up with nothing to show for it.
Nobody is launching a shiny new government bureaucracy just for Elon Musk.

True, but I was rather enjoying my $17 payouts over there. 😂
