Explain Heather's message to everyone you know. That is a start at least. The CDC decision trump made may prove his undoing. We tread on dangerous ground right now, and nearly every decision the orange one has made this week is wrongheaded at best. So let people know.

I actually did highlight this very dangerous move on Bluesky this week. I really don’t think people voted to increase the likelihood that the country will be ravaged by deadly diseases, do you? People need to know what’s going on, because many of them are oblivious. The more we talk about the dangerous consequences of these actions in our public spaces, the better. Until at some point, it will become publicly obvious - and not in a good way.

I do some studies with the poultry industry and the status of chickens, turkeys and ducks with avian influenza is very serious. So is the possibility of AI mutating to a human transmitted influenza. If the CDC cannot study this and share information, who care. The orange menace is making a serious and perhaps fatal mistake, which to him is revenge on people laughing because he mindlessly suggested injecting bleach.

We might want to stock up on masks, sanitizers, and basic medications, given that RFK Jr is going to put his pudgy, carrion encrusted fingers into our medical system. And did folks see videos of his actress wife at some inaugural event? She must be an absolute moron!!!

Kitterman it’s amazing that people like you and so many like you are nothing but negative in advance when you actually should be negative in arrears for what just transpired for the last four years from a semi cadaver that you voted for. The absolute moron is the lady that ran for president for 70 some odd days I made a fool of herself and every single individual that voted for her.

I have already started to stockpile masks and hand sanitizer right after the election. I hoped it would be proven that trump and musk cheated through hand counts in the battleground states, but no such luck. Everyone ought to be preparing for worst cases.

Thank you very very much Wendy for proving what I’ve been saying for the past six weeks I’ve been on this site. You people don’t want the truth you people don’t want the facts. You only want the food that you’ve been fed. Twitter used to be your favorite site when it was 70% liberal and 30% conservative as soon as musk bought it and it became 50-50. You couldn’t take it anymore nor get any of the people here and so you’re fleeing to blue sky, so you don’t have to feel or hear any contrary, opinions, other than your own How sick thing is that and then you wonder why you believe what you believe and you can’t understand why Donald Trump was just elected Very sad for open minded people or people that think they’re open minded.

Do you want me to back up the facts about Twitter or X and the flight to blue sky? You gotta be kidding me. You can Google it on the first hit. You’re gonna find out exactly the truth. Used to be 7030 now it’s 4948 but most lives have bailed to blue sky where they don’t have to hear a contradictory opinion.

Are you responding to me, Rick? I don’t consider “Google” to be a source. What organization did the polling and came up with the results you wrote (7030 to 4948)? Thanks!

Expand full comment

I don’t use Google either. Go on x. And ask the question. NPR says blue sky is a 50%. Try Forbes. Thank you. More than 115,000 subscribers have deleted their accounts on X in the US. Which isn’t a lot, but it certainly is an indicator all of a sudden. And that number is only since the election and they’re showing a predominant number of celebrities that have also left. Which would be a good thing.

I am not on X - never have been, even when it was Twitter. I don’t consider X to be a “research tool.” You suggested that I Google the political preferences on X (or maybe you were talking to Wendy - unclear!), but you just said you “don’t use Google” I also don’t use Blue Sky. ALSO, I’m confused about your comment about “celebrities” leaving X as “a good thing.” Why is that? They have a right to state their thoughts and opinions, too, right, Rick?

Gosh, Rick Sender, I can’t find any evidence of the political preferences that you stated in your response to Wendy. Would you please name your source(s) for me? Also you stated above “ You people don’t want the truth you people don’t want the facts.” Are the “you people” Liberals? Is that what you mean? I am a Liberal and I want the Truth and the Facts. IN FACT, I am asking you to substantiate your statements so I can verify your statements as Truthful and Factual. Also, and maybe this is a bit nit-picky, but do you know for certain that Twitter (factually, Rick, it’s now X) was Wendy’s favorite site? Thanks, in advance, Rick, and I FULLY AGREE WITH YOU: we, the People need The Facts and Truth!

By the way, Paul I have one overwriting question for you. What makes you be liberal? Are the tenets and platforms of liberalism that you support and why? Personally, I’ve been an independent for 40 some years. One of my favorite presidents was Bill Clinton, despite all his faults And sexual issues. People wanna place a lot of onus on a president’s personal life or personality. In reality, the only thing that matters are his policies or her policies and how they affect Americans

Liberals were absolutely OK with Bill Clinton and his horrid personal deviance Not to mention being married and lying under oath under oath and forgiving him I could care less because that doesn’t affect me and it doesn’t affect you law he supports laws he imparts improving the lives of all Americans and supporting an America first policy is what American president should stand for Everything else is secondary

By the way, Rick, thanks for responding. Yes, Clinton had/has faults. Most humans do. I will respond more completely when you clarify the last part of your comment - from “I could care less” to the end. I am uncomfortable saying this, but your sentence structure is pretty dismal and I hate to “put words in your mouth,” so to speak! You say something about America First - are you referring to President Woodrow Wilson’s desire to stay out of WW I and remain neutral? Also - and this is very important - I would like to hear your thoughts on the Great Replacement Theory that Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, Laura Ingraham and Stephen King and Viktor Orban, etc. espouse. I’ve asked you to give me your thoughts previously and perhaps you have done so, but I haven’t found your response yet!

Paul, this is what I mean about most people on this site so many people care more about form than content. I happen to be voice texting and could give a shit about spelling syntax format punctuation or sentence structure. The point remains the point and most people here I certainly believe our intelligent enough to determine what the point is.

I’m not sure about anyone else’s great Replacement theory, nor do I care less. And I’m not talking about ancient history either. I’m talking about current history when I ask liberals to tell me about their favorite president. Bill Clinton is their first choice usually unless they are so delusional, they choose Barack Obama Obama, who divided this country more than anyone in years maybe decades.

I don’t deal in theories I deal in actions and people on both sides of the aisle tend to be biased, but I have found liberals delusionally bias, especially in the case of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama Obama.

Bill Clinton was one of my favorite four presidents in my lifetime

Despite his personal life which had no impact on me whatsoever nor on you The man worked towards the middle with new Gingrich to create the closest to a symbiosis of government in 60 years

Both bushes were horrible. George, the younger at least loved his country, but had nothing Between his ears Reagan was terrific for America and the world as was John Kennedy for the short time he was alive.

And if John Kennedy were alive today, he’d be a middle of the road republican based on how far left the Democrats have fled.

My favorite quote of his if you’re old enough, you’ll remember it. Ask not what this country can do for you, but for what you can do for your country. Democrats want more government Kennedy wanted less And he was much stronger on defense rather than offense, such as is happening now in Ukraine, with the moron, semi cadaver actually fueling the fire of war in Ukraine and Russia, not only funding it and taking away money from Americans that needed more, but also telling Ukraine, it’s OK to it insight it further by firing rockets and missiles inside Russia just before Trump is about to take charge That’s about as anti-American as I can imagine Trump threatened Hamas And drove a current end to the conflict and if a mouse rears, it’s ugly head again he will decimate a mass like he did Isis.

I am out of here in a couple of days as soon as I get back to the states I have had my fill of hate for America from this forum and needless hate for Donald Trump.

If you read enough here from your cohorts, Donald Trump has been in office for five days on already is a demonic horror When just the opposite is true He stated his goals as president as much as six months ago and not only won the popular vote but 48 out of 50 states turned red than before

I don’t need to be around intellectual America haters in fact it’s that very so-called liberal education, especially at higher levels of learning This hatred and has inculcated too many minds to dislike a few things wrong with America versus Loving everything the world loves about America and why if we opened our borders we would be 3 billion population not 300 million population

Don’t bother wasting your time responding to me. I’ve heard all I wanna hear. I’ve said all I wanna say and I’m a happy goal. Lucky guy for the next at least four years. If Trump plays his cards right and does well for the country, as I hope everybody here hope he does rather than continues to demean him. Then he will resign. The president presidency in three years, handed off to Vance, giving him a year of experience and perhaps continued to be in the White House for the next eight after that we should only be so lucky.

One further comment I would like to make if you would like the facts you should be looking at X not blue sky. You should be looking at Fox News to get some alternative information or OAN or Tucker daily or any of those sites that you normally would not look at just to get some perspective on what other people think or see you may not agree with them, but at least you’ll understand where they are coming from

You know it’s amazing to me. You people are intellectually lazy you expect me to do your homework for you. I make a statement prove that it’s wrong. How’s that? The problem with this site it’s all one-sided. There’s not even a contradictory argument with or without back up. You’re only hearing one side of the story and you’re not even honest enough to realize that.

Certainly, the fact that you agree with you’ve backed up with doing your own research, but you’re refusing to look at the alternative facts and verify or validate them. It’s your problem not mine. You don’t wanna believe them that’s fine with me.

It’s a distraction. He isn’t going t to touch the CdC. If anything, he’ll just give money to male wellness initiatives like steroids and bulk vitamins that make Rogan, Jones and White look like fire hydrants with ears.

This is all to distract us and sigh with relief that we aren’t going to catch polio while in the other room, he’s auctioning off FEMA funds to shady building contractors to screw the La residents trying to rebuild.

Marcus, love the fire hydrant with ears phrase!

Well good luck with building LA and you’re gonna blame Trump on the devastation there. ? Every single individual in the room with Trump was thrilled at the help. He was giving them and offering them and shortening the time needed to start the rebuilding process. I’m so glad I’m not gonna be here to see the negativity very much longer. I wish you haters a lot of good luck. Because you’re gonna need it.
