I have arrived at the point where I no longer think it’s worth it to pick apart every stupid thing that Trump says or does.

We all know he is an idiot and a narcissist. A petulant child. Everything he says is some sort of lie, projection, complaint or self-aggrandizement.

The bottom line is this:

Prime day isn’t actually cheaper. They just change the base price to make it look like you’re getting a good deal.

Main Enemies of American Presidents…

George Washington: The British
Abe Lincoln: The Confederacy
FDR: Nazis
JFK: Communism
George W. Bush: Terrorism

Trump… facts, rule of law, The Constitution, and the American people

I can’t believe I have to double check if he was being held in Georgia the state, or the country

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Complete lack of remorse. Double his sentence.

My only concern is that calling it authoritarianism isn’t getting through, MAGA doesn’t care.

Why are Americans all up in arms about gun violence?

I mean, if you just avoid your local shopping center, grocery store, movie theatre, concert venue, church, hospital, restaurant, bar, university, or school then you won’t be at risk of getting shot.

…right??

It’s so goofy that you can have college “seniors” still playing football on their 5th, 6th, or 7th year of eligibility.

Yeah I get it, you can get redshirted or hurt and petition the NCAA for another year.

But if you don’t play or get hurt in high school, they don’t just give you a do over.

Don-old Trump is known for his Rapid Release

Friendly reminder that anecdotal observation does not equal correlation and it DEFINITELY does not equal causation.

Connor Walsh @connorwa15h.bsky.social · 12d

Then you certainly shouldn’t have a problem providing said documentation, right?

Connor Walsh @connorwa15h.bsky.social · 13d

No offense, but you’re making a fair number of assumptions to promote a worst case scenario. That’s borderline fear-mongering. Do you have any evidence of said effect?

The flip side is that it could lead to public awareness and positive outcomes.

Connor Walsh @connorwa15h.bsky.social · 13d

Are you guys getting paid for hating this administration? I know I’m certainly not. And I’ll continue to do it.. for free.

Something slimy, transactional Donold wouldn’t know anything about; doing things simply because it’s the right thing to do.

I only say this because DJT would fucking hate it… he’s never beaten a man in an election.

Gotcha. I hear you, but it’s not a GPS tracking device. It only shows where citations were written and connects the dots.

Connor Walsh @connorwa15h.bsky.social · 14d

I have to disagree. I handle data and PII for a living, and in this case, it doesn’t quite fit the definition.

All of the information is publicly available on the SF MTA website. Plus, it’s not enough to actually identify anything about the person who wrote the ticket.
