And the filibuster! The dems kept precious norms!

I really hope President Trump says "Why do we have a parliamentarian? We don't have a parliament. No parliamentarian. They're fired. And no filibuster. It's gone. 50 votes is good. 60 votes is stupid..."

No brakes on the Trump Train

Bluesky libs are so shell-shocked that there are hardly any threads on the GOP winning the House. And the threads that exist don't have many likes. Most of the comments aren't worth mentioning but I did like these two.

Can’t blame Dems when you’ve got a trifecta.

Honestly, good. Let them pass their destructive agenda. Buyer’s remorse will kick in in a few months.

Attorney General

I wonder what super-ghoul is getting that position.

This would presumably include PACs and political fundraising organizations, wouldn't it?

No. At first it just felt sore. Now there's just a tiny bit of discomfort. I took a couple painkillers a couple hours ago. I'll google about how to reduce and ideally avoid more pain. Ageing problems with knees, backs, and hips was old news to me. Thumbs are a whole new ballgame.

Here's hoping...

I hope you do well too.

Unfortunately there are no "for science" videos for raccoons and tanukis. :(

But there is this for science for vid for human beings: Thief Peels Open Cybertruck's "Armored" Window Like A Tin Can | Carscoops

For science.

For art projects!

I watched that a few months ago. Here are the notes I made for myself...

Too stupid and too long. I need to avoid Bond movies with Roger Moore.

Is this bill bipartisan?

A Bluesky post said it was but I did a quickie scan of the article and I couldn't find confirmation of that. Post-election I've stopped blindly trusting Bluesky posts. Maybe I'm crazy but it seems to me posts with errors about Trump (both unintentional and intentional?) seem to be growing. I don't think Bluesky lies libs are lying but I do think they are in super-panic mode and they are blindly doing monkey see, monkey do without using critical thinking.

Your comment made me realize that Bluesky is going to be far worse than Reddit for the foreseeable future. At least at Reddit - you can have actual conversations. People might lecture you but you can make your point anyway and who knows who's reading along.

But Bluesky is in kneejerk liberalism mode. If you mentioned Rogan - chances are they going to respond without thinking but respond with sarcasm which gets them likes too. Post-election - many Bluesky libs are convinced Americans are unreachable. The vast voting horde is hopelessly stupid, hopelessly racist, hopelessly misogynistic, and unwilling or unable to think. And as a bonus - libs will block or mute you which limits your ability to have conversations.

I made a comment based on what you said.

Kamala could have prepped a list of these policies, eli5 taking points and she should have went to Rogan's show and talked about them. Why didn't she?

I expect blocks, mutes, and ridicule but we'll see.

He had already muted me - haha! But as I understand it - my comment is still visible to others.

I think so. I think they're mimicking Trump.

Hey, good-lookin'. Whaaaaaatcha got [glitch-glitch-glitch-glitch-glitch-glitch] cookin'?

I don't know a single word from a Travis song so deepest apologies to Hank Williams.

Holy shit! What she actually said is a far better joke than any lib parody I've ever written. I'm gobsmacked and I stand in awe. 10/10

Do we need a new occupy wall street?

Something like that now would be fantastic.

Hobbes is so fucking annoying because he just needs to be right all the time. Doesn't matter the actual content of things.

He must feel great and right at home at Bluesky. It's a fantastic echo chamber for libs. The Bluesky version of the word solidarity is coalition. It's pretty funny for libs to say that with a straight face. They aggressively mute/block leftists. I couldn't resist so I used my commenting account and replied to him. ~1 hour later when I was looking at my own replies - I learned I was muted.

It's funny how after a dem bloodbath - libs suddenly rediscover the term working class. I bet they use it for ~4 more months and then they'll drop it again because being middle class is a feeling.

The Democrats didn't ignore the working class. Not even the white working class. Not even the white male straight cisgender working class. There were actual policies, unlike Trump, that would have benefited them significantly.

The media ecosystem made sure that they didn't hear about them.

The "middle class" is a near meaningless term in the US because it means anybody making from (very roughly) - I dunno - ~$20,000 to $100,000+ a year. Libs rarely if ever think of themselves as part of the working class unless it's convenient - like now and they can say "we're all in this together" when they know that's a lie.

Biden himself said being middle class is a feeling.
