Not the Doge abuses, nor the closeted racist moves behind the Project 2025 rollout. It takes a threat to the warfighting structure for the GOP to wag a stern finger at trump. Give us a break. www.axios.com/2025/03/19/c...

So while most Western journalists avoid going to Russia for fear of being nailed, @realtuckercarlson.bsky.social seems to have free reign & access to power brokers. Very odd isn't it? ๐ค I smell fishy fish.

Happy ๐บ๐ธ Thanksgiving ๐ฆ !! Posting in gratitude today, for the lessons I've retained all my life from my time in service of our country. My time was in the 80's, think Cold War. The lessons were always plan ahead, be consistent and kind. We needed all 3 with 5,000 sailors crammed onto CV-64.๐ (1)
Trump just can't tell the truth. He says ๐จ๐ฆ is flooding ๐บ๐ธ w/ illegal immigrants & fentanyl... Slapping ๐จ๐ฆ and ๐ฒ๐ฝ with the same 25% tariff...that's gonna hurt US consumers more than anyone else. The real numbers โคต๏ธ thelogic.co/news/trump-c...
Starting off as expected... No access to security clearances or abilities to ramp up. His grift is apparently more important than setting up a government.
The true enemies of US Democracy are a pack of billionaires working to dismantle it. Leo, Theil, Musk. While we perseverate over how stupid Joe MAGAt is. (myself included, guilty as charged) ๐ค search.app?link=https%3...
A Very Strong Case Why MAGA Voters Are Stupid.
One of the more interesting audiobooks of this year. Took me back to NYC in 70's-80's when ๐๐ฉ was running up incredible debt, getting bailed out by Fred Trump, hanging w infamous lawyer Roy Cohen & blocking Black potential renters with a "C" on their applications. A most talented con man/grifter.
Hey where are the Canadians ๐จ๐ฆ?? Let's not forget about "MAGA lite" & Pierre Pollievre building up steam here in ๐จ๐ฆ... โ ๏ธI hope y'all can see they're copying much of what US๐บ๐ธ MAGA does?โ ๏ธ Yes, Trudeau is well past his "best before" date. Unlike ๐บ๐ธ, y'all have 3 parties+. I wish I could vote here!
Escape the US scene, avoid the coming political wasteland? Would you, if you could afford it?? 1, 2, 3 & 4 year options are available... ๐ค
@arnettpowell.bsky.social I'm in either NYC or Toronto, so ready for the high prices.
TRULY BREAKING NEWS!: President- elect Donald Trump could possibly override the Senate to get his recess appointments. There are reports he could access a never-before-used procedure that allows an "end run" around Senate approvals. Like ๐ or repost โป๏ธ if you want to hear more details! #blacksky
PSA... Good morning good people of BlueSky. Avoid this fake Marine @democratsrcancer.bsky.social I love the mute button. Let MAGA spit into the silence. Duty done... time for โ!
This is a really good thread. Thought provoking, and some solid questions are asked. Well done @arnettpowell.bsky.social
We must draw a distinction: disdain for a Trump admin, and whether the government is efficient. According to GAO, estimated total financial losses to the government from fraud are between $233 billion and $521 billion annually. This is a problem #econsky www.gao.gov/products/gao....

Want to follow reporters covering & columnists analyzing the U.S. economy? The "economy" is broad here including macro, markets, business, labor, government, and policy (monetary, fiscal, education, health, ag...). Starter pack of folks creating and posting a lot of value. go.bsky.app/75VdoaQ
I was really thinking only about workers in the Ag sector. This got me expanding on that...hospitality, service industries... probably lots more. Chime in if you can think of other sectors that mass deportations will affect. #massdeportation
More than 1/3 of construction workers are foreign-born. Going from 10% to 5% of a workforce is one thing, says @riordanfrost.bsky.social. "But going from 50%, which it is in California and Texas, to a much lower share, could have really big shocks to the housing market." us.cnn.com/2024/11/19/e...
