You didn't even know she was Scottish but now you are her biographer. 😂😂😂😂

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 19h

I love this.

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 21h

His mother and is Scottish. You didn't know but pipes up to assert she was born in the USA without bothering to check. That is blindly ignorant and that IS MAGA

They have been firing federal employees already. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Dismissed by DEI: Trump’s Purge Made Black Women With Stable Federal Jobs an “Easy Target”

The president’s attack on diversity efforts has derailed the government careers of highly educated civil servants — even though the jobs some lost were not directly involved with any DEI programs.

How much is the Treasury Dept paying for rooms for SS agents at Trump Resort every weekend he plays golf?
Trump gave Argentina $20 billion a fews ago. Argentina took soybean orders from US farmers now Trump wants to spend $20 billion in a MAGA farmer welfare check.

"displaced". 🙄

The guy who is actively bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping it's children has thoughts about who should get the Nobel Prize for peace.

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 1d

🙄 Cuomo 39%.
Just ... why?

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 1d

Too many soybean farmers voted for him. Three times

Speculation by who, @msnbc.com. Who speculated that the grandpa who is bombing fishing boats while deploying the KKK to cities run by his opponents would win the Nobel Prize?

Also, political payback over Epstein.

Trump invaded Portland as political revenge again Sen. Wyden who is investigating Jeffrey Epstein financial network.

"open borders" is a nothing burger, a hoax. It literally isn't a thing. He thinks all crimes including child rape and sex trafficking are a good idea when he & his people do it, just not when anyone else especially non-whites do it.

His mom is Scottish. It is easy to look that up. This is the problem with MAGA, so confident and dangerous in your ignorance while refusing to listen to someone who actually did the homework.

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 1d

Did he share that with you or are you just assuming? His mom and his wives are great examples of people popping out a baby anchor themselves here. He IS very familiar with that tactic.

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks for admitting that his paternal granddad is an illegal. Keep digging. He wants to overturn birthright citizenship and I hope he succeeds so we can kick him out

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 1d

Are you new? They are illegals.

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 1d

What has he pledged to do to trans people that is worse than what MAGA has started doing and promised to continue? What, if anything, has he done to trans people? He is gov of CA so he could be doing a lot?

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 1d

Let start with all the illegals in Trump's family - paternal granddad, mom, wives.

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 1d

Is the goal to have readers who read just to get angry?

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social @bethjacksonlb.bsky.social · 1d

Sadly, it isn't the world that has gone bonkers, just Americans who support Trump.
