BlueSky is approaching such a level of dogmatic blindness to serious issues that it is becoming really difficult to enjoy. The level of 'this cant be happening because I think its bad' and 'you said something that conflicts with my world view so blocked' is really tiresome.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?" Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸" Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City." Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”

jimmy kimmel officially diagnosed with blueskyism, is no one safe
Nate Silver sive @NateSilver538 Follow But it also doesn't feel like the center is holding. I'm not sure whether it's Bluesky or something else, but the progressive epistemic bubble is getting really bad. So where was Kimmel getting this from? Well, maybe from Bluesky. Or (gulp) maybe from Substack. As Gabe Flesher pointed out, Heather Cox Richardson, the author of the #1 U.S. politics newsletter Letters from an American, wrote this weekend that Robinson "appears to have embraced the far right, disliking Kirk for being insufficiently radical." Richardson presented no evidence for this; it's wishful thinking at best. But really, it's just a falsehood; like Flesher, I'll be polite and not use the term "lie" just because I don't know what's in Richardson's head. * I'm not looking to pick a fight with Richardson (I know some of you subscribe to her) or Kimmel. But the progressive epistemic bubble is getting really bad. Maybe not worse than the MAGA bubble - but bad, and progressives often rationalize bad behavior by saying whatever the other side is doing is worse. This has already had serious consequences, such as denialism about Joe Biden's deteriorating condition last year, which they blamed on unfair media coverage. Kimmel is a relatively mainstream figure, so if this sort of misinformation about Robinson is making its way to him - and in scripted remarks, not off-the-cuff comments like Dowd's - that suggests the bubble is expanding, slowly devouring the reality-based community, and that formerly rational commentators have trouble escaping it once they're past the event horizon. 8:06 AM • 9/19/25 • 363K Views

OMG - the judge in Florida just sua sponte struck the complaint in the Trump v NYT case for -wait for it - violating Rule 8.

Lawyers, tell the folks at home how hard it is to get the complaint struck outright for something like that in fed eral court.

It is truly horrifying what is being alleged against the Trump administration in the Ghana case.

Here is from an affidavit filed in the case today: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
3. I was granted withholding of removal by an immigration judge in the Otero Immigration Court on April 30, 2025 on account of the likelihood that I would be persecuted or killed Case 1:25-cv-03135-TSC Document 21-1 Filed 09/13/25 Page 2 of 5 if removed to Nigeria. My wife is a U.S. citizen. She filed an I-130 petition on my behalf for me to receive a family visa. That petition was approved four months ago. 4. I am currently detained in Dema Camp in Ghana, where myself and other people who were also deported from the United States are being imprisoned. We are constantly surrounded by military guards. 5. I am originally from Nigeria. In Nigeria, I was a member of one of Nigeria's main political parties, the P.D.P. In 2018, 1 started being violently targeted by members of the ruling political party, the A.P.C. In November 2018, members of the A.P.C. beat me and other party leaders with plank woods, iron rods, and machetes. The attacks escalated from then and happened several times until I left Nigeria. 6. I fled Nigeria in 2019 after being tortured by the military and police officers for the Nigerian Department of State Services. They tortured me and kept me locked in a dog cage for three days until they let me go and told me they would kill me if they ever saw me again. After this incident I had to leave Nigeria to save my life. 7. Nothing in Nigeria has gotten better since I left. The situation in the country has become worse. The political party that targeted me is still in power. 9. The officer finally told me that we were going to Ghana. I told him that I am afraid of going to Ghana and that I cannot go to Ghana. 10. He told us "whether you like it or not, your ass is getting on that plane." He then straitjacketed me extremely tightly, tying me from my shoulders to my feet. 11. I was put onto a military plane with the other people who were taken from their cells. I remained straitjacketed for several hours until I pleaded with the officers to remove it so that I could use the restroom. I begged the officers over and over again to take off the straitjacket so that I could use the restroom, otherwise I would urinate on myself. They finally removed the restraints on my legs after pleading with them for a long time, but left the restraints on my upper body. 23. We are all afraid for our lives. We are not safe here, and now they are planning to hand us over to our country's government for further persecution and torture. We don't know what our futures hold. 24. We urgently need help. We do not want to meet with government officials of our countries or to be returned to those countries. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on September 13, 2025. /s/ Signature September 13. 2025 Date

Whether it’s Barack Obama wearing a tan suit with reporters or Donald Trump raping children with Jeffrey Epstein, both presidents violated some of Washington’s most sacred norms.
