Here's my 30-second review

Plot was simple, characters were straightforward, and it was in no way offensive to anyone anywhere

I was entertained by the shiny things and nothing unexpected happened

Husband thought it was bland

And, I learned tonight that Agent Scully from X-Files is British

Guess what we're doing tonight

That's right, giving The Mouse money

It's not bad, but it's not really worth paying full price

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck.

His Christofascist followers aren't going to be sure whether they're pissed off he moved Muslim military onto US soil or whether everything he does is still 5D chess

Do they riot or cheer?

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

Saw Roofman tonight

I enjoyed it. It was well acted and directed and an interesting character study of a guy who's really kind of a nice guy slash asshole

He makes really poor decisions that hurt people he cares about and I wanted to shake some sense into him several times

But, I did like it

RW extremists have been arguing for decades that businesses should be able to decide for themselves who they refuse to do business with

Now, we all know they mean Black, brown and queer people, but this is exactly what they've been asking for

Next time, they should be clearer on what they want

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announces an executive order establishing "ICE-free zones" in Chicago.

"That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids."

This man is an American Hero!

A) he hasn't ended any major wars yet

B) If there isn't an actual war, reaching a deal on a disagreement doesn't count

C) Each internal conflict he incites cancels one or more wars he solves

If she were a man, Trump's instinct would be to simply emasculate him and call it a day. I don't think he can imagine anything worse

Geoffrey @thegeoffey.bsky.social · 5d

I'm more than a little curious if the Supremes are working with the WH to keep her locked away even after she kept her part of a deal to say certain things

Donald may not be smart enough to double cross her like that, but Susie Wiles is

I love that not letting them pee or sit down for a break is her proof that Chicago is a war zone. She obviously has her priorities in order

its not all that deep down - that feeling of illegitimacy right below the surface

Geoffrey @thegeoffey.bsky.social · 6d

"Trump says he has both NG to do with Project 2025" is exactly the kind of lazy journalism so many of them missed from his first administration

It's so much easier to just report whatever they say or the scandal during our than to do any reporting on real issues

8hrs in one day was a little much, so we spread it out

It's not exactly illegal to be both Evangelical Christian and a closet case 🚬

But we'll let them throw him out into the snow and rain anyways

I do like that - although that probably still leaves Speaker Johnson's creepy pedo ass in the oval office

Just watched all of Monster: The Ed Gein Story yesterday and today

Also read details on what parts were true and what parts were fiction as we went along

Overall, it was pretty cool, even if longer than maybe necessary

Charlie Hunnam and Laurie Metcalf did some exquisite acting

I do agree with that assessment of Vance and only Trump can get away with the things Trump does ...

Geoffrey @thegeoffey.bsky.social · 7d

Is the next step based around people hating Vance enough that he won't be able to do what Trump can do?

That may be fair

He's also smarter, albeit a worse liar, so there's that ...

But is there a plan past hating Trump? I certainly hope so

Over the past couple weeks, I've seen more and more commentary here around the 25th amendment. Disregarding how it's implemented, what's the plan after it is? Vance is next in line followed by Speaker Johnson until there's a new Veep

Who on this list do you want to see succeed Trump?
