When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office. I knew he was old. I knew he had a stutter. I knew he had a rep for "gaffes." I didn't care. Just wanted trump gone. Four years later, things are different. I wasn't expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime. I wasn't expecting him to help expand NATO. I wasn't expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers. I wasn't expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs. I wasn't expecting him to bring manufacturing back. I wasn't expecting him to forgive student debt. But he did ALL those things, and more. He surpassed my expectations by a lot. And he has more planned for 2025-2028. He's not a master orator, He doesn't move so smoothly But neither did FDR from his wheelchair. Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat. He wants to be a dictator. He wants to stay out of prison. He wants revenge on his enemies. He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy. His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions. His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends. His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE. We might never have another free election. THAT is what is at stake in this election. We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it. If you're looking for someone who's young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie. I'll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.

@Aku_700 @Acyn Ok. Stop grandstanding and go get an indictment. If @POTUS did this stuff, I want him in jail, just like @realDonaldTrump. What happened to your evidence in the House? I was waiting for the impeachment. What happened?

Here's a list of some of the crimes that Joe Biden has been accused of. When will he be charged, tried, and convicted? -Mishandling of classified documents. -Accepting $5 million in bribes from Burisma with his son Hunter. -Using his political power and position to obstruct investigations into Hunter Biden. - Claimed he had never spoken with Hunter Biden about his business dealings despite evidence to the contrary. -Corruption involving Hunter Biden's business in China. -Using his political position to benefit Hunter Biden's business interests. - Allegedly received $5,000 from Sarah and Joseph Biden in laundered money from China. - Knowledge of money laundering from foreign countries to members of his family via shell companies, including for his own granddaughter. - was referred to as p*d* peter and had inappropriate showers with his daughter

Cruz: What we saw today was an absolute travesty of justice. This was not law. This was not criminal justice. I am furious and heartbroken

@doylealbee There are too many people on the ballot for one of them to beat her. Heads up, she loses. With the current primary ballot, she will get 34% and win the primary. Then 60-40 in the general. Sonnenberg fucked it up. He ought to be the guy.

@doylealbee She isn’t going to. As a long time Weld Co resident, I am ashamed to say that she will represent CO-4 until she resigns.

@vikasreddy On a tangent: Peter at T|aco was, this week at CTO Lunch, bemoaning the loss of community, and is exploring some ideas. Might be worth connection with him.

Hey Boulder/Denver friends - know any first time founders who started a company here and/or are thinking to move here? Would love to connect with them if so! Context: A bunch of repeat founders/investors/CU people are working on ways to improve the tech community here!

@eshear @paulg It isn’t showers. It’s toilets. How many gallons per flush, and how many flushes per day? Much more impact. greeleygov.com/services/ws/co…

Trying to solve water supply/demand issues through showers is silly, just charge market price for water and be done with it (residential water is not the problem and already pays, it’s industrial and agricultural). That said…this is a very interesting finding.

@natemarshallNIL @bradleyforco @alanfranklin Says a dude who couldn’t keep a job at Home Depot (did you get canned for being a nasty little man?), and imagines himself an elite money dude? You’re a fraud, like your spray-tanned messiah Donny.

This is a sitting Colorado legislator openly condoning death threats against fellow lawmakers. I've been doing #copolitics for 20 years and this could honestly be a new low. I don't say that lightly, Rep. Bradley has a lot of competition. This is not normal. Not okay. #coleg

Uh… no. There is no hero in AS who builds his entire empire based entirely on other people’s IP. AS is about property rights and unfair taking. Altman trains his AI on the work of millions of others, he is bets imagined as Peter Keating from The Fountainhead.

And I thought Elizabeth Holmes was in jail?

If Elon Musk were on fire, I would not piss on him.

@Marshall9News You misspelled Tabitha Soren.

No offense AP, but I need this news from Kurt Loder.

Since the invention of the movie there have been five movies that were rated the most pure...

Does this guy write for Piss Drinkers magazine, @pattonoswalt?

Stoked to see @BurroughsSoul in Alaska. Who’s going? #salmonfest #salmonfest2023

@caro I was there last summer (stayed on the 9th floor), and the colors actually seem right. I bet it got a paint job. And the snow backdrop? Whittier is an odd place.

I have been to Whittier. Train from Anchorage and then 7-hour ferry to Cordova to run the salmon festival half marathon, which is why salmon has been ruined for me forever because it'll never taste that good again. That said, the building does not look this colorful IRL.

@mooreds @editingemily My dog likes carrots and apple as much as any donkey, Dan. Emily 1 - Dan 0

@editingemily Nope. Donkeys are more stubborn and don't like belly rubs as much as dogs. Plus, donkeys are bigger fans of carrots.

Donkeys are just large dogs. Prove me wrong.

@AndrewWhitworth @FeathrlesBiped They can just cover the dirt fields with money for FIFA officials to take home, right?

They will change for FIFA! Not their own players? Am I missing something ?

@TheMothershed Not sure it is better than the last season of GoT.

I realize it doesn’t matter… but House of the Dragon is not a better series than Better Call Saul/The Crown/Severance.

@Jaredewy You’ll be someone of more. Already are, actually.

@lofdev Pretty good. I’m writing a lot and if this ever turns into a thing you’re getting the first advanced copy autographed by me or maybe even someone of note
