Meme-satirical’ isn’t even a real phrase, Assuming you're trying to call it "satirical meme." Even this "big dummy" knows that. You can just say you got caught posting fake news and panicked. But hey, points for inventing new grammar while you’re at it. #Disinfo

They’re not ‘silent,’ you’re just recycling headlines from outrage blogs. AOC’s been condemning Israel’s military campaign for months. and pushed to halt U.S. weapons transfers. And it’s not a Trump peace deal when Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S. State Dept. are the ones actually mediating.

You guys realize this came from a parody site, right? Next you’ll tell me Bigfoot was her getaway driver. Try fact-checking before posting your fan fiction. #AOC #Disinformation

Guess she thinks flooding the feed with word salad counts as intelligence. Same energy as those guys who post nonsense then lock comments so reality can’t ruin their fantasy

Well I did notice none of her posts get any engagement, so if screaming into the void makes her happy, who am I to interrupt her echo chamber

Translation: ‘People started caring about equality and science, and I got mad about it.’ The country didn’t change—you just stopped being the main character

Ah yes, the ‘lock her up’ crowd. Still pretending corruption only counts when women hold the gavel. She terrifies them because she does her job without kissing the ring.

And yet obstruction of justice is exactly what Trump promised to reward on day one — pardons for J6 rioters, vengeance against those who investigated him. You can’t preach ‘law and order’ while cheering for the people who attacked it.

They were 'incarcerated' then pardoned by the corrupt President who calls actual pro-democracy protesters 'mayhem.' Don't fall for the deflection! The ultimate hypocrisy is cheering for J6 traitors while purging Feds who protect our elections

Pam Bondi turned “independent oversight” into a loyalty badge, and the infection spread nationwide. From watchdogs to lapdogs, Paula breaks down how obedience became a career path — and how democracy’s watchdogs forgot how to bark. #PamBondi #Oversight #Democracy

Purging the EPA and CISA is giving massive 'I will single-handedly break everything to prove a point' energy. Stop playing dictator and leave the civil servants alone! Your 'purge' is just a big, embarrassing self-own

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 11h

LMAO, is this the same constitutional law lecture y'all gave the 'patriots' on J6 while they were trashing the Capitol and beating officers? Or was that just 'protected free assembly' in your book? Asking for a friend who is pro-democracy and anti-insurrection. 🐸☕️ #MAGAHypocrisy #TwoSetsOfRules"

Oh, Speaker Johnson is pressed because 'No Kings' is a massive, organic movement. Calling pro-democracy citizens 'radical activists' because they disagree with your King Trump fantasy is just giving 'L-O-S-E-R' vibes. Stay mad, we're not shutting up. 💅 #ProDemocracy #NoKings

Bench Coach Paula says: I'm the strategy queen. I’d be Mendy's right hand to make sure every single player knows the fundamentals. No more defensive fails, period. We're optimizing the roster for efficiency and surviving slumps. Hire me for the Ws. 💅

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 14h

Cohen is just acting like a boomer. Mendy's safe, but the trainers/coaches who caused Senga to break & the development staff who can't fix players are the real ick. Fire the infrastructure, not the manager. 🙄 #MetsSky

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 14h

No cap, Charley. The Mets are giving "imploding in September" but the #MetsSky community is giving "built to survive losing streaks." It’s the only real infrastructure we can trust. We are the main character energy the team needs. Slay. 💅

Dodgers walk it off on a wild throw, Cubs rise from the grave, Phillies cry softly into their cheesesteaks. Paula’s got the recaps, the roasts, and Hillbilly Bob’s southern sermon in Extra Innings. ⚾🔥

Five Tommy Johns in one season isn’t bad luck — it’s bad management. That’s on the trainers and coaching staff. You can’t keep snapping arms like breadsticks and call it coincidence. Fix the philosophy, not the pitchers. #MetsSky #Mets

The world’s loud, angry, and stuck on caps lock — but we’re still here, still laughing, still holding the line.

If he’s talking about his cabinet, he’s not wrong — half those guys couldn’t pass a group project on shapes and colors without a cheat sheet. And bragging about acing a test that’s basically “name five animals and don’t eat the crayons” isn’t the flex he thinks it is.

Exactly. ‘Protecting law enforcement’ is one of those authoritarian trick phrases — sounds noble, means control. They weaponize words like ‘security’ and ‘mission’ to normalize power grabs. This movie has been played before.

My bracket’s tragic, my Tigers are feral, and Taylor Swift just called me ‘Folklore.’ This is fine. #MetsSky #MLBPlayoffs #MLB #SwiftieNation ⚾💅
