Haha be thankful for what you have. I work at a pretty large financial institution and we still use Skype for Business. There is another messaging app we use but not everyone is granted access to it so I have to use both apps daily.

What’s Bluesky going to do to combat Russian bots and misinformation, and essentially keep it from becoming Twitter/X?

Republicans will control Congress. I’m sure they’ll be fine rolling anything back.

They won’t. They’re not going to do anything but hand everything to Trump on a silver platter.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls the US out of NATO and the UN, since he hates both organizations.

He probably wants to replace it with a Hitler Youth style of program.

This is what happens in some Republican controlled states when they limit the times and places and how people can vote. Trump said a few years ago that if minorities vote, Republicans will never win another election. So Republican controlled states started getting rid of polling stations and changing voting times to standard working hours, etc, knowing that people wouldn’t be able to take time off from work to stand in the now longer lines (due to fewer polling stations) or would want to stand in longer lines.

Plus, election day is not a national holiday like it is in most other countries, so people don’t get the day off to vote. Though some companies give 3 or 4 hours paid time off strictly for voting.

In his defense, the GOP also answers to Putin, so it makes sense he would too.

Nah, they’ve already accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. That’s basically their get out of jail free card. It’s why a lot of them are horrible vile hateful people.

I’m waiting for this to happen. The old Republican supporters don’t realize or care that the GOP will cut their Medicare and Social Security as well. By the time they figure it out, it’ll be too late. Or hell, maybe they won’t care because they were able to take advantage even though they’ll be dead soon, just as long as anyone else won’t have anything to help.

Is anyone surprised? Just about every millionaire/billionaire business person is going to vote Trump because he’s told them repeatedly he’s going to cut their taxes. That’s bad news for the rest of us working people because our taxes will have to go up to make up for those cuts.

They’re just mad because he didn’t use a gun to do it.

And yet he has a 50/50 chance of becoming president again.

He rambled on about immigrants at a rally and said election day will be our Liberation Day. Sounds like mass deportation and mass killing of liberals to me.

Oh please let us see Elon lose all his fucking money because he’s a gigantic ass hat.

Remember, Trump said if minorities vote, Republicans would never win another election. So they’re doing everything they can to keep people from voting. Republican controlled states already shorten voting hours, reduce the number of voting places, they constantly purge voters right before elections, they don’t like mail in ballots. The fact that election day isn’t a national holiday already says a lot about how much this country cares about democracy.

Also, I think just about every reported case of voter fraud that I’m aware of has been condu by Republican supporters.

Politicians make laws on the basis of “I’ll never be in that situation”. But then a son or daughter comes out as LGBTQ+ and all of a sudden laws need to change. A daughter has been raped and all of a sudden laws need to change. They don’t make laws to help us. They make laws to control us and sweep away things they don’t like.

“Hey, let’s hold the victims of Helene hostage until after the election. People will push conspiracies that Biden and the Dems don’t want to help even though us Republicans constantly vote against funding for natural disasters. Our supporters are dumb as shit, just the way we like it.”

Trump, cashing in on licensing. Like the $100K watches, where proceeds don’t quite go to funding his campaign. They money goes pretty much directly to his pocket. He loves the poorly educated!

So instead of pouring that money back into the failing X, he’s donating to Republicans that would kick his ass out the door. Oh wait, he’s the same color they are so “he’s one of the good ones.” Doesn’t hurt that he’s rich.
