yeah that's what it seemed like to me. Like he was actively pushing to get banned so he could go squawk on Truth or wherever and talk about "duh liberal bias".

It's literally always performative with those fascists. They need constant validation, and constant distractions.
The only thing that will change is his title... on paper. Trump is not currently in charge, and vance will not be in charge. He'll be a complete and utter figurehead that the LITERAL entire population of the planet would happily take a hammer to.

I've noticed an uptick in complaining about BlueSky's supposed hyper-liberalism in recent weeks. It's not even just a conservative complaint. There are signs of moderates (or, at least, somewhat less liberal folks) complaining about liberals essentially eating their own and complaining when someone isn't going far enough....
Sounds a lot like some folks here, actually.

Who could have expected that gatekeeping discourse, silencing nuance and punishing good-faith disagreement would backfire?
FWIW, I found Threads (Meta's would-be Twitter-substitute) to be far worse, and far more quickly. I stopped using it because within only a week or two, my feed was flooded with left-wing political commentary. While Bluesky (in my experience, of course) definitely leans leftward, I find discussion is MUCH more varied, and I can read and talk about stuff that has little to do with politics.
I'm pretty sure I know most of those words, but in a line like they are... I don't know what you just said.
I didn't even bother with Threads. After disassociating myself from Facebook and only rarely interacting with Instagram, I wasn't about to tack on another Meta project.
As for talking about non-political topics on Bluesky, I've curated a series of lists that helps with that.
Dealmaster strikes again.
Well, he found another way to create the same trap for himself by combining all of his little legislative proposals into a single bill that so far is an embarrassing spectacle.

I shouldn't be surprised at this point, but I am. They did not have the votes in the House. I did not know that Mike Johnson could just hold the vote open forever.
the GOP and the House in particular are precisely that soulless.

I guess those signed golf balls are more popular than I thought.
The level of punishment that this will drop on Trump supporting states and counties cannot be ignored. I know every GOP member is freaking out, even here in Red Kansas, about how this will affect their reelection campaigns. This hurts and will be an albatross around their necks.
Provided, of course, we're allowed real elections again in the future.
