Just what every passenger on an airplane wants to hear from the person who commands the pilots.

He also referred to the admin as “we” when discussing potential DOJ involvement with Pritzger. Would like to see the VP confirming non-separation of executive and judicial elevated in media.

“I’ll take things I don’t want to hear the commander of pilots say on an airplane for $1,000, Alex.”

Moussaka, eggplant parm (with smoked mozzarella is fantastic), eggplant fries…. Mmmmm

He’s arguing that Biden sought to interfere *with his own certification.* An opinion, if I may borrow a phrase from a greater person, is “untethered from reality.”

“You know who WE haven’t prosecuted” says it all. Ownership of the process.

Nyambeni has discovered that partitions are merely suggestions, not boundaries!

Our budding mini-matriarch scales the low fence with determination, desperate to reach the other side where her precious charges await. No barrier is too tall when there are babies to protect and comfort.

Instead of how UH could boost entrepreneurship & end med bankruptcy. With HC policy increases sharply in focus, now is the time to break through the “UH is unaffordable” narrative and dive into the benefits. Thanks for your platform and all you do!

@acyn.bsky.social Please consider doing a program focusing on the economic benefits of Universal Healthcare, such as relieving small businesses from premiums & worker freedom to change jobs w/o losing coverage, national collective bargaining for price reduction, etc. MSM focused on impossibility 1/2

It’s also such a fallacious argument. He’s saying Biden interfered with his own certification. Absolutely bonkers.

Galloping Goat @gallopinggoat.bsky.social · 19h

That Biden tried to interfere with his own certification is a hell of an argument.

I feel this.

So he’s arguing that Biden tried to prevent the certification of his own win? I wish I had more faith in my common man to see through his nonsensical logic.

Why rely on something relatively impactful when we all hold a smartphone? Remember the journalist that was targeted and had a seizure due to the message? I imagine something along those lines. Widespread impact rendering us - what? - zombies or some such.

The “Paperclip Hypothesis” where an unmanageable automated paperclip manufacturing process diverts eventually all resources to that production, wiping out life on earth. I remember reading that years ago and being completely wigged out, and thinking, “yeah - that could happen.”

True, but they’ve been groomed to hate Antifa, many without understanding what that means. Coupling Antifa to Profa gives a clear correlation to Fash, Klan and Nazi, which they refuse to accept they are.

Galloping Goat @gallopinggoat.bsky.social · 1d

I’m going with “you’re either Antifa, or Profa.” They have a short, simple name for us, let’s use one for them.

I mean, during 45’s they were caught tracking the periods of kids that were interred. Fucking grim.

NANO nuclear? That’s awesome. Molten salt (didn’t read the article 😬) but that is absolutely the way to go for a robust, local energy source!

When we backwoods VT’ers were on Reddit saying, “did you see that last night? What was that?” And now instead of tethered to lines, they’re just all over the sky. Just thought I’d mention that.

You know, I’ve lived in Vermont for almost 20 years (still “from away,” but still grateful). The skies when I arrived were just stars, the ISS, and sometimes a satellite. Now, every time I look up I see stars, yes, but multiple satellites. I saw the trails of starlink sats employ four? Years ago 1/2

Cool. So we get armament against people instead of medical armament FOR people.
