@JustinDMRogers Congrats, Justin!!!

[Colby Townsend @ColbyTownsend16]

I’m going to be on here a lot less (if much at all) but if you’re on bsky please add me @colbytownsend.bsky.social

[Colby Townsend @ColbyTownsend16]

How many of my friends on here are actually staying on here? It seems like most are leaving and I’m definitely enjoy bluesky more.

[Colby Townsend @ColbyTownsend16]

@ThatJBF Absolutely. Depending on the denomination and the congregation, owning pews was a very common thing in early American Christian churches.

[Colby Townsend @ColbyTownsend16]

@basedamericana @EV_Trapper @politico That doesn’t answer his question.

[Colby Townsend @ColbyTownsend16]

@shapirostephen I think we should all go to bluesky

[Colby Townsend @ColbyTownsend16]

@RColesworthy Awesome! I’m there. I’m definitely enjoying that as the best alternative to Twitter.

[Colby Townsend @ColbyTownsend16]

@RColesworthy I have all of the other ones but are you talking about Bluesky?

Imagine the guy who came up with “Uh oh Spaghettios” seeing how bad things are now.

@fattyfantastic Just sat down with a friend that’s working on a PhD in political science and she showed me the math. Thanks!

[Colby Townsend @ColbyTownsend16]

@fattyfantastic @NairYasmin Is it only 29%? Current numbers show about 141 million people voted and there are roughly 260 million adults in the US.

@AOHSUsometimesY Manchin is an outlier Dem in a lot of ways, though. But you’re not wrong.

We are all this sixteenth-century German frog with anxiety.

@shapirostephen “Our culture is not theirs, nor theirs ours.” I can’t feel exactly the same as the author more than I currently do.

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters to give him another term in the White House.

And miraculously, Trump won’t argue now that there was voter fraud.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Mitch McConnell is why.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Democrats: First black president. First female vice president.

Repulicans: First convicted felon president.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

What a devastating indictment of our country.

@TaylorPetrey It’s not over yet.
