jon zellweger<p>-- Individuals or groups with fewer resources would be unfairly disadvantaged. -- It further insulates the <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> from meaningful checks and balances by the other branches of <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23government" target="_blank">#government</a>. 5/15</p>
jon zellweger<p>When you have a problem with service, don’t complain to the staff, look at the management, am I right? I have little faith that the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a>-- a <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23narcissistic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#narcissistic</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23megalomaniacal" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#megalomaniacal</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23authoritarian" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authoritarian</a>-- who posts <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23AI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> images of him as <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Pope" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pope</a>, works in good faith for us. Period. Full stop. 4/5</p>
jon zellweger<p>When the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> genuinely believes that the letters M-S-1-3 are tattooed on the knuckles of <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23KilmarAbregoGarcia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KilmarAbregoGarcia</a>, I have little belief that those working at the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Executive%E2%80%99s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Executive’s</a> behest know what the hell they are doing. Or, they do, but it is not in good faith. 3/5</p>
jon zellweger<p>Letter to a <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Senator" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Senator</a> / 22 Apr:: Mr. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Tillis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tillis</a>_ I thought it was important for you to know that yesterday’s comments from <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> wiped what equals 1 month’s salary from my <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23retirementfund" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retirementfund</a>. 1/6</p>
jon zellweger<p>Letter to a <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Senator" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Senator</a> / 19 Apr:: Mr. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Tillis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tillis</a>_ I want to register my objection to a parade, possibly including military vehicles like tanks, on the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Executive%27s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Executive's</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23birthday" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birthday</a>. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> is not a king. Never before have we held a parade for sitting president. 1/2</p>
jon zellweger<p>Letter to a <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Senator" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Senator</a> / 19 Apr :: Mr. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Tillis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tillis</a>_ It’s been another week and more exhausting news. Stagnation looming with tariffs, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> continuing to defy a unified <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23SCOTUS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> ruling, no peace possibly for Ukraine,...1/15</p>
jon zellweger<p>Your <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23reactionary" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reactionary</a> approach with this bill continues to show fealty -- despite its superficial optics-- to a <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> who is *not* good for us. 7/12</p>
jon zellweger<p>…why is <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> (and, by default, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Congress" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Congress</a>) not returning those individuals to the country of origin? The ongoing cost, even if it is for a month, three months or a year, is not how I wish to see my contributions to the government used. 4/9</p>
jon zellweger<p>So long as the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Congress" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Congress</a> does not issue rebukes and take actions to check the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> as these judges have, I do not believe we have a fully functioning <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23USgovernment" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USgovernment</a> that aligns with the vision of the framers. Is that what the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23GOP" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GOP</a> wants? 8/8</p>
jon zellweger<p>I believe that that balance has allowed the US <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Constitution" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Constitution</a> to become the oldest living supreme law document. It has ensured <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23tyranny" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tyranny</a> cannot find purchase -- corruption, perhaps; inefficiencies, surely. But not tyranny. I believe we have a <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> who intends to consolidate power. 4/8</p>
jon zellweger<p>In 3 weeks, I've lost 7.5% of my 401k value. I'm not doing 2008 again, m07h3rfv&lt;3rs. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23fucktrump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fucktrump</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23fuckmusk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fuckmusk</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23thomtillisistoast" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thomtillisistoast</a></p>
jon zellweger<p>I value the relationship we have with other countries. I value the military and alliances and economic partnerships. It seems our <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> doesn’t. He believes we can take care of ourselves. No one else matters. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Egalitarianism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Egalitarianism</a> is dead. 2/7</p>
jon zellweger<p>I am not as optimistic about things. I believe the desire to tear down the institutions that <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Brooks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brooks</a> speaks of, includes our <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> dismantling the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Constitution" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Constitution</a>, the very architecture of US <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23democracy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democracy</a>. There is no other evidence to the contrary. 4/8</p>
jon zellweger<p>Mr. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Tillis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tillis</a>_ I’m heartened by the news of the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23SupremeCourt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SupremeCourt</a> that <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23POTUSINO" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUSINO</a> must unfreeze congressional allocations for foreign aid. I hope you are. It was a partial acceptance of the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23impoundment" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#impoundment</a>, however, if I understand things correctly. 1/10</p>
