Huh.The way I saw it was that not only was he not laughing his ass off, he wasn’t even slightly amused. Just the opposite. I think he was restrained in his contempt at the lengths to which Maga will go when they’re desperate. Oh, and as a Michigander, I couldn’t be more proud of Dr. el-Sayed.

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

off the subject, but the Sayed and Tommy thing, was just brought out in the open, all that you said on the Chris Hayes show, MSNOW. He was laughing his ass off like you were.

Cadillac, Michigan is not exactly a hotbed of progressivism. This is a very good sign! 🇺🇸

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

Thank you to the beautiful city of Cadillac, MI💙🍂

And if you don’t mind another one of my opinions, Trump is not only on Twitter. He may not officially have joined Bluesky, but he is here nonetheless. He lives wherever people talk about him, think about him, tweet about him. This will be true until he is out of our lives, one way or another.

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

A replica is being built of the golden Oval across the street from 1600 Pennsyvania Ave to preserve Trump's current oval office today. He's building another monument to himself indoors.

For all its many, many flaws, I still like Twitter. If I had to compare the two, I would say that Bluesky is a support group; Twitter is life. Life, unfortunately, can be ugly as well as beautiful, but that’s what makes it worth living!

Guess who's back on Twitter Be glad you are on Bsky

You can find this by Googling “Tammy Duckworth”. Easy peasy. 😁

I have not seen this. Where is it on? Twitter or X

I don’t think you do, Alana. People know your heart, but your soul is known only to its creator. At least that’s my humble opinion.

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

I was in the evening, enjoying the sunset, and I thought, who am I, really how do you describe your soul to another human This connects somehow.

‘Sir, you absolutely need help’ Said two strong guys With tears in their eyes. ‘But fellas, I can run for myself’, TACO replied In an obvious lie. Good grief this guy.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

This. There is certainly more than an element of Islamophobia behind these attacks, but political interest is the dominant reason for them. Abdul’s got the establishment in a panic, and I love it.

It's also a political torpedo job as CBS is now 100% in the pocket of Donny and Co. They don't want smart progressives taking office. And the abject racism as well.

This generation might remember her better as Christine Armstrong from ‘Coach’. She was absolutely perfect with Craig T. Nelson as his wife…underrated show, in my opinion. May she rest in peace. 💔❤️

Shelley Fabares of the Donna Reed show, died age 82 Aug 22.

How thoughtful. They’re reminding you that there are only four months left to save for that one doll and two pencils. Not to mention the Christmas feast of one chicken nugget and a piece of Taylor Farms lettuce. 👍

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

Christmas has arrived in Dallas. FAO Schwartz at North Park Mall is already displaying Christmas toys. I know it's coming, but it's Aug.

One doesn’t have to be Texan to be outraged. If he will do this to Big Bend, he will do it everywhere he deems profitable for himself, his family, his friends. Conservation be damned. Ecologically sensitive areas…who cares? Future generations…tough. As Rep. Omar said, it’s all about the Benjamins.

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

Oh I guess all or most have heard by now the Trump administration has been dozing Big Bend, a National Park, for get this a border wall. I am Texan true blue. Big Bend has mountains. We kinda have our own border. That project has been halted. The people are pissed. OUTRAGED.

I absolutely believe there is. Maybe not so much for those who mainly repost, which is important to our understanding of the current political and social climate, but for those who create original daily content. I’ve just been calling it ‘burnout’. We all need a breather from time to time. 🦋🌼

Tibor M. Kalman@kalmantibs.bsky.social

Is there such a thing as Blueskyer’s block? Cause I have it. 😤✍🏼 “Writer's block is a temporary creative slowdown or the inability to produce new writing. It is often caused by perfectionism, fear of failure, stress, or exhaustion. You can overcome it by lowering your standards.”

He wouldn’t be retiring if he hadn’t been primaried into it. Which finally, maybe, hopefully, gives Texas a chance for a Democratic senator. 🙌🤞 Vote Talarico! 🇺🇸

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

I contacted my Senator from Texas, who will retire soon at the age of 74. As he should. However I told him you are Republican not MAGA. Just how disappointed I felt that he did not stand up for the voters in my state but yet sided with a criminal President. Was I out of line by telling him that?

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

Each town should have a park, or rather a primitive forest, of five hundred or a thousand acres, where a stick should never be cut for fuel, a common possession forever, for instruction. ~ Thoreau

Was that a typo or a mistake… I’m sure you meant to say “master waist”.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Springtime for Donald and America MAGA is happy and gay They’re marching to a faster pace Look out, there goes the master race!

IF this is truly happening, what they are doing is stacking up the evidence for his THIRD impeachment after the midterms. And if the apathetic non-voting assholes get off their asses we can remove his ass and prosecute him.

Pipa💙🌸🫂🌊@pipafrausto.bsky.social

Just to be clear….is it really happening?

To trump’s crude remarks on Joe Biden’s cancer, All I can say is f*ck it… Regis, that is my final answer, And I can’t wait until he kicks the bucket. 🤞 I hate him.

What a great idea…a class action lawsuit on behalf of the American people!

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

We all know by now, the ballroom project has been put on hold for now. Ok he tried to jail David Hern over touching the reflecting pool... I want to sue him personally for destroying the WH. That is the people's land.

Replying to @macfarlanenews.bsky.social

I recently moved to Michigan. I live in the burbs but travel to Detroit often for sporting events and concerts. There are too many nice bars and restaurants to count. It has really come back. Trump has no idea what he is talking about.

I have lived in West MI for 70 plus years, and I gotta tell ya, this isn’t sitting well with me, either. In fact, I am seething about it…how dare an American president attack an American city. Especially one that literally drove America’s prosperity for decades. The Motor City. Vote Blue.

Scott MacFarlane@macfarlanenews.bsky.social

Trump's ongoing lies about Detroit and Wayne County, Michigan's administration of elections aren't going unnoticed.... by the voters of Detroit and Wayne County A boost for Abdul El-Sayed As I discussed with @hcrichardson.bsky.social today ====>

Not a war ‘we shouldn’t have entered’. A war we ‘shouldn’t have started’. A war the incompetent fool has no clue how to exit. I don’t know if the 25th is the solution…I’d rather see him impeached, convicted, and his entire cabinet of accomplices removed. Vote Blue. We need both House and Senate!

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

It's so far past 25th time. I saw the President lose it in the oval yesterday over the reflecting pool.Making up words, looking at a camera and saying moving camera.We have a war that we should not have entered. Iran hacking our water supplies, and he is focused on algae and pavers? today a helipad?

I watched it. Trust me, whatever you heard about it…it was so much worse. So, so much worse.

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

I did not watch the WHCD last night but saw and heard all about it. I think the most outstanding comment made I'm running in 2028. And nothing, not applause, not laughter. HE can't. Who the hell wants a sleeping president that sleeps at a dinner

The Christian Taliban is organizing in Texas. Vote blue to stop its spread!

Texas Paul@realtexaspaul.com

Zohran Mamdani mandates NY City school children will read excerpts from the Koran.

Listen again, Alana. 😊

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

I did look this up and not true about Mamdani. Quran is taught in some schools in NY but it was not a Mamdani directive or what I saw was it was false reporting.

I’n not so sure. Like the proverbial horse that you can lead, You can give them a book, but you can’t make them read.

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

Apathetic. They know but do not care. Stupid you can fix. Put a book in front of them

Yes! From thee University of Michigan… great addition!

As we’re finding out with every new day that dawns. I don’t even think we’ve seen the worst of trump yet. The rot starts at the top.

Roger ZenAF 🖕🐸🖕@rogerzenaf.bsky.social

I'm sorry, but the headline "<member of trump administration> is much worse than you think" applies to every goddamn one of them.

So I’m genuinely curious, Alana…what changed your mind? Did you decide that the allegations were not just hearsay, or do you feel that the chaos surrounding him makes it impossible for him to stay in the race? What a mess…and Susan Collins is the beneficiary.

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

It was the correct move. Maine Dems, pick a winner.

If you remember me fromTwitter, you may remember this sweet boy and the priceless friendship that he cultivated with AngeloBCollie and Maggie. It is not the loss that I will recall. It is the love. Rooney. 2/2/2016 - 7/7/2023 🌈

Morning, Alana. Not to be contradictory, but this is not hearsay. Hearsay is, for lack of a better description, third-person gossip. Jenny Racicot did an actual interview with Jake Tapper. You can choose not to believe her. You can believe that it’s a political hit job,but you can’t call it hearsay.

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

I have one question no many really. but did this woman ever report this incident to the police? Then it's hearsay. We know the rape-publicans will pull anything on anyone to win.

He can destroy everything in his path except hope and American spirit. This country gave my family opportunity not possible in any other land on earth and I will never not celebrate that. We will get through this moment…we are America. Happy Fourth, Alana! 🇺🇸

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

Anybody else not celebrating today? I'm just not in the mood.

It really isn’t any different than it is on the national stage. He belongs in a straight jacket. In a maximum security prison.

Alana@alana807.bsky.social

I am deeply disturbed by by President Trump behavior on the world stage.

Very well said. And may I add that we cannot allow trump to use our service men and women as props to further his own political agenda. It is beyond disturbing. Prayers for the crew and their families. 🙏
