@StuDavies Hey there Stu. Welcome aboard. If you want the layout to look Twitter-esque, you can choose "Simplified Mode"
Now that Thune is the leader of the Senate, he has to keep his colleagues in line during votes that could cost them at the midterms. So, the task will always be: what's better for re-election or in satisfying Trump.

Senate Republicans select Sen. John Thune of South Dakota as their new leader, replacing longtime GOP stalwart Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/2DPN56Xzzy%20https://t.co/xLAFd3pWcZ

Leon isn't going to last a Scarramuci in 🍊 🤡 's administration.
As per the Washington Post, here's where we are at in the race for control of the House: Dems: 207 vs. Rep: 216. https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/results/2024/11/05/house/
Prominent billionaire investor Warren Buffett is cashing out of many of his positions.
Berkshire Hathaway’s cash position has doubled in just one year and reached its highest point in more than three decades.
He knows what’s coming.
Where we are at in the race to the House. Dems: 206 vs Reps: 214. Here are the races that are still being counted, as reported by the Washington Post.
Has there ever been a CoSo gathering in real life, like a MeetUp?

Word of the day:
A kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the seventeenth century.

PSA - There is no need to nuke your posts or account here. Because your're frightened your criticism of Donald Trump may bite you on the ass.
This is not Twitter.
And I am not Elon Musk.

I'm thinking about a way forward.
I'm beginning to believe the Democratic party needs to quit acting as a political party and start acting and thinking like a labor union.
That is the only path that looks to let the party wield power.
If we want working people to operate from inside the Democratic party tent, we need to empower them.
Look at how the people of France react to just about anything they don't like.

CoSo, a call to action; we are approaching the middle of the month. Let's see if we can get that gauge filled early.
Counter.Social is our safe place, and it keeps us safe. These actions do incur an expense each and every month that @th3j35t3r pays out of pocket what is not covered by us.
We ALL need to step up NOW; Go PRO! Join Patreon and setup a monthly donation.
The need is there now; and it will grow no matter what.

Musk & Trump are now one & the same. Your Twitter data is Trumps now.
Here's how to mitigate:
1) Create a new Twitter account no identifying names etc.
2) Got to the account you're trying to obscure & change ur @/handle to make it available.
3). QUICKLY Go to the new account and change it's @handle to ur original @/handle
4). Deactivate your original account.
Eventually your original data will cycle out of their backups & nobody can take your handle.
It is done >

The Australian government will push on with regulation of social media and artificial intelligence despite the incoming Trump administration’s opposition to both.
New bill that will impose fines of up to 5% on Elon Musk's Twitter/X global revenue, which could be hundreds of millions of dollars for failing to control the spread of misinformation.
HR 9495 (which includes HR 6408) gives unilateral discretion to the Sec of Treasury to ban a non-profit organization that the secretary deems is giving material support to a terrorist org. This gives way too much power to a single person. Appealing to the IRS is insufficient. https://www.politico.com/f/
Trump to rely on forces that brought him to power. Here is the Tass article with Patrushev’s quote.
https://tass.com/politics/1870713
We know Russia made over false bomb threats to Democratic stronghold polling sites and that Musk is a Putin fan. Trump is clearly beholden to Putin and they are openly mocking him.
Putin spymaster Nikolay Patrushev states Russia helped Trump and now must deliver quid pro quo.
“To achieve success in the election, Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."
The Los Angeles Times just announced that Democrat George Whitesides has won his campaign for Congress in CA-27.
