@connectwithjacob.bsky.social You just had on the Susan Boyle of comedy! A bolt from the blue!

Political ads must be driving everyone crazy about now. But as you watch what is put on the screen, notice that the most vicious, negative, lying ads come from the right. It's what Trump has done to our nation. No civility, no decency, no limits. Time to rid ourselves of this cancer on our souls.

I'm tired of living through the Looking Glass where down is up & up is down; where lies are truth and truth made lies. Where people vote for a man who wants to take away their health care, take away their civil rights & their free speech,& makes their life harder. Don't vote against your best life!

One of the best things I read over the weekend: "Watching a fascist regime rot from the inside out is one of life's purest pleasures." Samuel Wynn Ward 10/16

Can we elect Prime Minister Mark Carney as OUR President? He is everything a good leader should be: always in his country's corner, empathetic, supports his country's allies, takes down Trump by pushing back on tariffs. I love the guy! We get stuck with the creepy clown who can't wipe his own butt.

To all the protesters on NO KINGS DAY, thank you, and stay safe. You are our best hope to save America from the Heritage Foundation and their patsy, Donald. Heroism comes in all forms. While I can't be there, I am with you in spirit. Send the message that: We the People have had ENOUGH!

As someone who lives in the Northeast,oil prices will be a killer this winter. Those of you who can't afford to heat your house to a decent temperature, I'd advise electric blankets, hooded fleeces,and heavy socks&leggings.These have gotten me thru 29° nights with no heat.Watch your pipes though!

I want to remind people that when climate change was first recognized as an issue back in the 1970s, it wasn't predicted to truly affect us until the 2070s. Joke's on us. Glacial melt, stronger storms, ocean temps, drought, heat waves. It's here, and the GOP is doing NOTHING!

We must get Trump out of office before he sells off OUR public lands to the oligarchy. These are our children's legacy, and "America's best idea." Selling them off is one of the irreversible acts he can commit against us. To save them, it is essential to get control of Congress before he can do it!

The fact that China has been doing many maneuvers in space while we've been screwing around with conventional weapons, is just one more example of the idiocy of our current regime. Ohh-let's show Xi how proud we are of our 18th century ballroom while they laugh at us&capture satellites in space.

Another LOL statement from His Craziness. "You have to respect the Presidency."

Listening to Trump bragging about settling 8 wars, and deserving the Nobel peace prize, he belongs in mental ward. Who talks like that? Only a crazy person. We all learn to stop tooting our own horns by age eight! He so cringey...

As Alito runs around claiming his decisions support the Constitution, the effective result of his biases are disenfranchising people, emboldening far right fascists & segregationists, & threatening the health & pregnancies of women. Harm in the service of ideology is not justice! He &Thomas must go

Sorry about the typo. It doesn't change my point.

Today it's beautiful in the Northeast,but as winter approaches,with heating oil over $5+/gal,how many will freeze this winter? Too many! Donald Trump went into Iraq truely believing he was invincible. Now he is mired in war & Americans are paying the price for his hubris. VOTE FOR SANITY-VOTE BLUE!

I get so disgusted when Trump says something incredibly ridiculous - such as Iran is producing drugs inside their nuclear facilities (?!?)- and the press treats it with even a modicum of seriousness when the statement is clearly absurd. NOTHING about this President is even remotely serious EVER.

The difference between Jack Smith's respectful responses to the GOP questioning, and the insanity of Cash Patel's responses to DEM questioning in hearings, pretty much sums up the difference between the deceit, disrespect,and name calling of the GOP vs.the DEM decorum in the Congressional Record.

Trump's refusal to let the press back into the White House, in defiance of court order, is, in my opinion, his play to make himself look all powerful in front of Xi. The wannabe dictator is only showing weakness, not strength, losing face as the courts rule against him again. Xi must be gloating.

Who thinks Trump stays awake at night thinking up the best ways to outrage and offend the nation? His name on Ford's Theater? Yeah, that's a good one.

Everyone at the UN must be either cringing, laughing, or planning to take advantage of the US against the idiocy of Trump. We've heard all of what he is saying ad nauseam. 🙄😤🥱

In the first two minutes of Trump's UN address, he's reiterated his greatest campaign hits, hailing his greatness (not!) Lies, lies, lies. God, the man is soooo embarrassing in front of the world!

One other ad I'd like to see from Democrats: "If you see 4 ads for every one of ours, keep in mind that the Republican Party is funded by billionaires who are spending freely to make sure you:DON'T get healthcare,but DO get AI Data Farms, Forest destruction,a war in Iran, ego projects, etc."

Having lived in Asia for a time,I know that the biggest threat from China isn't AI,it's that they prioritize student education.There,failure is not an option. In the US, we allow students to fail all the time. It's why we will ultimately lose our status as the world's leading economy.

Who can possibly believe that surging ahead with the development of AI is worth the RISK of extinction? We've been warned by the people who understand its potential. If they're wrong, oh well, we go on as always. If they're right - it's OVER! Low IQ Trump doesn't seem to understand or to get it.

Stephen Miller should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Dumping Central and South American deportees in Liberia, Africa without resources, and away from all family, is beyond cruel. Are we not better than this? We should exile Miller to Antarctica without a parka and see how he fares.

What new plan will Trump et.al come up with now that SCOTUS has shot down his nefarious attempt to undermine the election. As Mark Elias said: Trump never takes NO without escalating to the next level. Stay tuned; stay vigilant... AND VOTE!

What is the role of a democratic government- to build gilded monuments to itself OR to be there for its people when disaster strikes, provide for a basic level of living for its neediest, to ensure an education for every child, and ensure domestic tranquility? Trump fails us every time!

In what way was a Nationalist (divided) Europe good for the world? The divisions ended in two wars that wrought untold destruction.Throw in Asia, where Russia & China killed millions of their own people,&Japan whose brutality was legendary,&it led to only suffering. NATIONALISM leads to tragedy.

According to the Federal Reserve, in Aug 2025 the combined wealth of all US households added up to $128.5 trillion. The wealthiest 1% held 32.1%of that wealth. The bottom HALF owns just 2% of total household wealth. I wonder how much more wealth the top 1% has accumulated since last year?

OMG-Donald Trump's Nazi tendencies are on full display with his vision of new Space Force uniforms. Add a couple of lightening bolts on the collar, and they could be SS uniforms, jackboots included. The current ones are just fine. Air Force Blue with an offset row of buttons.

My daughter just returned from 5 days in Canada. The good news is that the Canadian folks don't blame the American people. They know the problem is all Trump and his minions. I ❤️ Canadians!

To-do list once Trump is gone: 1-Turn ballroom into offices 2-Replant the rose garden 3-Move the helipad 4-Tear down the arch 5-Replace Kennedy Center Board & reopen 6-Finally fix the reflecting pool 7-Take his name off everything (like the golf course) 6-Hang his portrait in a WH bathroom

@connectwithjacob.bsky.social Since our GOP has abdicated responsibility regarding Trump, I want to kiss the guy from Ireland! We know that Trump never takes "No" for an answer to anything. He will try and barrel ahead with his helipad. Ireland better move fast.

The United States Postal Service can't even deliver a first class envelope to anyone on a timely basis. How could they ever deal with the insanity of what is proposed for mail-in ballots? They can't, and that's the point. SCOTUS's shadow docket better get this right or kiss our republic good-bye.

If anyone is watching the VP speaking as the Press Secretary, what he is saying is so ridiculous, it is making me laugh out loud. The ironies, such as "we are going after fraud" is stand-up worthy.

Trump 2020: "The election was rigged!" Trump 2026: Let's rig the election!

In 10 yrs,Trump's put his toxic spin on America. Instead of MAGA,he's succeeded in weakening us around the globe-financially, militarily,economically, diplomatically,& technically. While we fight culture wars,China plans, exudes stability,& builds global economic ties. We're losing folks!

This explains so much and is extremely enlightening: While Trump's father rejected him, Roy Cohen, the scoundrel who brought us McCarthyism & the blacklist in the 1950s, mentored Donald & taught him these lessons: Don't back down, pay taxes, or ask permission. Do lie,grift,cheat,steal &sow division.

I have a concern about AI that, not being a techie,I don't know if it's real: As AI collects and collates data from the internet and other data sources, do lies such as the Trump regime's faux statistics, financial data, culture war positions,etc get incorporated into AI and affect its responses?

Lake Ontario is in the North. Lake Ontario will remain Lake Ontario, just like the Gulf of Mexico has never become the Gulf of America, and it borders the South! He is the most childish ridiculous wannabe dictator in history.

Do any of you pundits out there know who,within the GOP Deep State, came up with the unconstitutional Executive Order directing the Post Office not to deliver Mail-in Ballots to voters "not on the list"? It's way beyond DJT's capabilities. Who is rigging the election now? No one can trust them?

The GOP must be furious with the Orange Menace. The electorate is up in arms about the cost of housing, but he puts an additional 50% tariff on Canadian lumber! Stay strong Canada. He's weakening his party daily, making his impeachment a distinct possibility after the midterms! 🤞

If all billionaires paid 10% of their net worth to the government as a one time tax, it would reduce the deficit to a manageable level. Then if they paid an annual tax equal to what the middle-class pays on income - 15% to 20% - each year, the US would be back on track. So easy. Won't happen.

Trump and the GOP added $1,000,000,000,000 (that's $1 TRILLION folks) to the national debt in 5 MONTHS. They can't blame Biden for that!!

When the Navy names a ship after a draft dodging asshole instead of a true war hero (who happens to be Black), we'll know the nation has lost all credibility with the world. #trumpknowsnoshame

How is it that we all recognize the dangers to our republic from: an egomanical President,rampant corruption,dark money in politics,the firing of competent leaders in the military & DOJ, the collusion of the GOP,the oligarchy, SCOTUS, and the subversion of the Constitution. Destroy them. VOTE!

The GOP - especially Sen. Cassidy - have allowed themselves to be manipulated by a Trump nominee yet again. Blanch has wasted no time in getting around to administering the slush-fund under another rule. How can our Senators be so susceptible to bold faced lies? Clearly they don't give a s#!t.

The incompetence of the Trump regime is astounding. The saga of the aircraft carriers-Lincoln and Washington-will have consequences in both the Middleast and Asia.Things are getting dangerous and destabliized in both regions. There is no plan.They've fired the comptent people in defense. 🇹🇼 beware!

Something has to be done to curb this administration! Oman & North Korea today,weakening NATO, supporting Russia over Ukraine,Iran,Venezuela, Canada&Iceland. World Liberty Financial & corruption, ICE, ego projects, destruction of our National Parks & lands, rewriting history.. the list is ENDLESS!

Per the NYT: The Trump regime spent $5.1 million to send 4 deportees to the former Swaziland in Africa. That's $1.25million per inmate. $5.1 million could have been used for Medicaid coverage for how many children in America? Instead it's lining the pockets of another autocrat. S.Miller's wetdream
