Tides will rise and fall,
birds will soar & whales will sing

Sad but true.
They can have “observers”, but no vote.

jdkiff.bsky.social @jdkiff.bsky.social · 14h

And still can.
But a lot of people seem to be counting their chickens way too soon.
Hope for the best. But be realistic too.

Am I the only one that remembers the iconic pic of Clinton beaming like the canary that swallowed the cat over the Rabin-Arafat handshake?
T isn’t the first president to claim to have solved the Middle East problem. And I’m betting he won’t be the last.

So now congrats to Hector Luis Valdes Cocho, Cuban activist, dissident & gay man, founder of Latinos For Trump.
He used to rally Latinos to vote MAGA, against their own interests-until he was detained by ICE. He'a now being held on criminal charges, pending deportation.

Or at least bar them from using “Fox News” as a chyron. It’s not news. It’s pure opinion and propaganda program and should be labeled accordingly

Marcus James Brooks @maxximista.bsky.social · 17d

We must boycott Sinclar and Nexstar to force them to ban FOX News from viewership. On top of FOX must be sued into Chapter 11 for inciting terrorism for disseminating misinforming rhetoric and targeting marginalized groups for intimidation and violence.

So “Great Again” means back to coal. Or maybe campfires and wood burning stoves?

It may be time, even well past time!, for the 25th amendment, but who in this cabinet will ever invoke or even consider it?
As for a third 🍑? Good luck. The purest wishful thinking imaginable

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who correctly remembers that contrary to trump's post, Joe Biden was NOT the President on January 6, 2021 -- trump was.

His delusional episodes are increasing, it's time for the 25th Amendment.

HE IS UNFIT TO SERVE.

It’s part of dementia - forgetting things. Taking pride in your “score” on a cognitive assessment, generally only administered to people who appear to be suffering from cognitive impairment, is a new part T invented.

I hope many GOP sycophants and enablers will find out they’re trading short term gains for long term political suicide.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula. The "bubble" is the front of a stellar wind travelling at 2000 km s⁻¹. The star responsible is 40 times more massive than our Sun and 7100 lightyears from Earth. Captured with the Seestar S50, 100 x 60 s exp, stacked and tweaked on a Google Pixel 8 pro. 🔭🧪

And one more thing. Anyone who publicly begs for, and publicly demands, the Nobel Peace Prize should never be given the Nobel Peace Prize.
