As much as I detest all of them, Thiel seems the worst. With him it's not just greed and power hunger, it's 200 proof malice.

It'd be worth $86M to lose one...

Three real judges, the rest is Supreme Court Refuse Of The US. Because they latched on to Trump's.

He'll soon join Jesse Helms in the eternal furnace.

Given the impressive No Kings turnout around the country, it's time for Repug legislators to decide whether to turn against TrumpCo or continue in the sewers where they're likely to be thrown out of office in November 2026. Being in TX or FL isn't a guarantee of corruption carrying the day anymore.

Impeachment machine at work

It's why they try so hard to destroy education.

There was a big turnout in the Triad, North Carolina too.

David Williams @drivedog.bsky.social · 14h

97 seems kinda low. 99.99%, and I can't think what the other .01% might be

Wouldn't work as well on Donald the Hutt.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

No bell.

Just a deafening silence.

Trump probably offered an Idaho site to Kim Jong Un first.

"Oh? How much dumber? KSM... KFC... I'm hungry. Can we get a bucket to go on Air Force One?"

Iran, get them or something else usable from Putin. Yours and Pakistan's intelligence operations are likely the only ones that rival Russia's. Make him a deal he cannot refuse, then drop that bomb.

The only flaw is that, like Russia, Iran knows that Trump in the WH is the worst thing for the US.

David Williams @drivedog.bsky.social · 2d

Apparently he did think that.

Would he go ahead and die if we gave him a fake one? After all, he gives fake stuff to others as gifts.

David Williams @drivedog.bsky.social · 2d

I know how it SHOULD end.

David Williams @drivedog.bsky.social · 2d

His hands? Yuck. I can only imagine in what disgusting MAGAt place they've been.
