Trump wants to preserve Netanyahu from being imprisoned for bribery and fraud

The only way that can happen is for both of them to work together to kill every Palestinian or deport them to Jordan or some other country, under the guise of national security

Trump wants a new hotel on the Gaza strip.

Johnson's days as Speaker of the House are numbered.

And he knows it!

Chip Roy, still hiding the Epstein files . . because the rest of his worthless political career depends on the Epstein files never seeing the light of day.

The East Wing was the last addition to our White House, built in 1942, before Trump was born.

I'm fresh out of fucks.

Wasn't Bannon calling for "shock troops" to be installed in Trump's next admin almost 3 years ago?

Didn't he advocate for several prominent Democratic Party leaders to be beheaded and then have their heads placed on long spears, planted into the grounds around the WH after Trump was elected again?

Very nice picture.

We forget how beautiful our planet truly is.

We need more pictures to use like this in order to create a 2026 Bluesky calendar.
It's almost that time of year again, to get a new calendar.
And I think a nature calendar from Bluesky would be popular.
If Bluesky would create one.

I sort of understand how Bezos could become this wealthy due to American's obsessive/compulsive form of consumerism, buying anything made of plastic or wood.

But, Larry Ellison?

🤔

Tom Nichols is absolutely 100per cent correct here!!
There's no doubt that Trump had no idea what cargo was on these boats -- 7 and counting -- yet Trump is acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

Which is EXACTLY how Kings act!!

If you didn't know that already, take a history class.

Trump did NOT ask for Congressional approval for the ballroom.

He's going to tear the White House down, one piece at a time.

People need to wake up to reality.
Trump was Epstein's best friend in the late 1980's.
Trump was already using his Miss Universe Contest org as a sex trafficking operation
Trump is a pimp
And a pedophile
He preferred having sex with minor girls
His obsession led to him supporting Epstein financially

The Republican Party.

Texas has been acting like an outlaw state ever since George W was their Governor.
And yet, liberals and progressives continue to live there, wasting their talent, time, and energy trying to make Texas normal again.

IT'S A DEAD CAUSE!
MOVE TO NEW MEXICO!
GET OUT NOW!

I remember the good ol' days, back when it took 6 to 8 years, after a couple of Congressional hearings took place in each House of Congress, after hundreds of hours of testimony from dozens of former federal officials, in order to prove the federal government had lied.

Now, it takes about 6 hours.

Great thread -- read and learn
Time is of the essence now

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

Brad Moore @bradleymoore.bsky.social · 1d

The problem I have w/ Bolton being indicted is that the prima facie evidence they want to use against him are his own notes -- not Secrets, not Top Secrets -- just notes he made to himself about a particular subject they were discussing at the time.

He was a member of Team Trump, so this is horrid

The time is now, only a year until the mid-term elections take place.
Somehow, we need to ensure the election is not rigged, but is fair and accurate.
We need a ground swell, one that doesn't need the party leaders to agree with, to effect this change.
Citizen-led groups can coalesce around 1 idea

Brad Moore @bradleymoore.bsky.social · 1d

I agree with your assessment of the No Kings protests - they are great - but, only 4% of the voting public showed up.
Nowhere near the 40% we need to effect change.
We're also going to have to swarm the districts that will be redrawn, along with districts that are purplish, not solidly blue.

Great thread.
A lot of the terms you use are new to me, "postmodernism", et al.
So, keep talking
Explain to me what we should do.
I think the 2026 mid-terms may be the last best chance we have of saving our country
You paint a bleak picture, giving us a 1 in 5 chance of saving our country.
But . . .

It's almost as if he has started a cult, like he thinks he is a high priest of some kind that gives him supernatural powers to bless couples who are getting married -- as long as they aren't mixed race or people of color.

There are no pictures of any Black people who are members of Mar-A-Lago.

Too bad JD Vance wasn't near the vehicle.
This would have made the first time in his life when he was under fire.

It's past time to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office.
This video is just more evidence that Trump is mentally ill.

His reaction to citizens exercising their right to peaceful assembly is un-American

Meanwhile, the entire Republican Congressmen remain silent.
No criticism at all

Brad Moore @bradleymoore.bsky.social · 2d

Those Marines aren't that dumb.

Vance's condescending remarks about Schumer and Democrats is actually offensive, assuming they are so dumb they believe what he told them about the shutdown.

As if those Marines can't read newspapers or come to a conclusion on their own.

Putin will probably ask Milei for a loan.

"Javier, can you favor for me, and ask your new friend, Do Nald Trump, and for to tell me, he can give me few billions dollars?"

"Ask him yourself."

"It not, how you say, comfortable"

"Why do you talk that way?"

"I'm Russian KGB. We all talk like this."

Brad Moore @bradleymoore.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, but we've seen that on CSI - Miami.

It's cooler for the hillybillys who voted for Trump to see a 24-foot long boat get blown to pieces

"Gee, Harley, didja see that? The whole damn boat just goes kerplewiee, and then burns."

"Don't mess with Texas."

"We live in Alabama, tho."

"Same thing"

He sez that like it's a bad thing, or something.

I guess there's no hospitals he can use to commit fraud now, what with the Federal Government being shutdown, not allowing Medicare or Medicaid to pay off false charges to non-existent patients.
