It's so strange!
The country is crumbling...
Bills still have to be paid...
So many people are pretending nothing is wrong and act all put out when you bring it to their attention.
Sorry the collapse is so inconvenient!
The status quo is putting in double duty for sure!

IamChrisEdward @iamchrisedward.bsky.social · 2h

I am sorry Clyde!
All I ever do is talk about politics, I am part of the problem!
I am obsessed with politics and as much as I try to stay away from it, I always come back to it!

I completely understand if you unfollow me.
I will miss your friendship!
But your peace of mind means more!

IamChrisEdward @iamchrisedward.bsky.social · 2h

It's become Twitter!

I miss the old Bluesky!

Here's something I saw a couple of days ago on TikTok

Does the red part pop out for you?
With the blue seeming to sit under the red?

It does seem that way...
From what I have seen, no creativity is needed!
People post videos about everything!
Every...thing!
But with TikTok taking like 15% from shop sales and 70% of gifts...your hustle is just making them rich!

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

Market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

IamChrisEdward @iamchrisedward.bsky.social · 6h

Exactly!

IamChrisEdward @iamchrisedward.bsky.social · 6h

Needs more gilt!

IamChrisEdward @iamchrisedward.bsky.social · 6h

I wish I could turn it off like you do...
I am envious!
This shit plagues me 24/7.

This is why I opened a TikTok account, was in hopes that funny animal videos could help me disconnect from 24/7 politics.

Have a great evening!

Then Jr, Eric, or the DEI Ivanka will take over.

I hope JD doesn't think he even has a chance!
Not now anyway.
I don't care how much Thiel paid to install his puppet, the Trump's aren't giving up power.

IamChrisEdward @iamchrisedward.bsky.social · 6h

Exactly!
We have a king and he's putting down roots.

That was weird!

The two people aboard made it out, but so far 5 people on the street were sadly hurt.

Sidenote:
The helicopter looked like the one they used in Airwolf.

Triumph of what?

That some uncharismatic asshole was able to grift a bunch of rubes...all the way to the White House, not once, but twice!

It's a monument to how fucking stupid we are!
It should be called:

"L'Arc de la Stupidité"

IamChrisEdward @iamchrisedward.bsky.social · 7h

EXACTLY!!!

There's also this:
In February a GOP House rep put up a bill proposal to put Trump's face on a $250 bill in celebration of the US 250 anniversary.
It was introduced & is stuck in the finance committee.

Then there's the secret service grift & all his golfing trips!

Talk about fraud, waste, & abuse!

A comedian recently said something to the effect "you know the 2028 election isn't going to happen, bc no one builds an add-on to a house they plan to move out of."
