It’s like a nuclear bomb of pathological narcissism exploded the day he took office, and the fallout is spreading more and more each day.

Textbook pathological narcissism - making it all about himself and his self-proclaimed superior survival skills (aka the Secret Service detail)

If ANY other person had posted a statement like, they’d be fired from their job for disrespecting Kirk’s death.

holy fuck, Donny gave a batshit speech at Charlie Kirk's memorial where, I shit you not, at one point he bragged about being better at not getting killed. who does that? a moron, that's who. thank you for your attention to my post in which in take this dipshit to task. link is here: bit.ly/3Ld5dEM

now, did you have ‘I’m better at ducking bullets than Charlie Kirk’ on your bingo card? congratulations, you’re our winner!

all perfectly normal stuff. who among us hasn’t spoken at a memorial and bragged about not getting murdered? who among us hasn’t then gone on to talk about ourselves some more?

that’s what Bullet Duckin’ Donny did through the whole thing. he told one insane “anecdote” after another about himself, occasionally punctuating it with something like ‘and Charlie thought that was awesome.’ you know, just to keep things topical.

but again, it’s all perfectly normal stuff. who among us hasn’t used the commemoration of a dear friend’s life to brag about how you single-handedly saved Los Angeles?

“You’d 100% get more decay, especially in children in low-income communities,” Dr. Randa Jundi-Samman, a retired dentist, said about halting fluoridation. “We already see it in people who don’t have fluoride in their water.”

On the Front Line of the Fluoride Wars, Debate Over Drinking Water Treatment Turns Raucous

After decades of fluoridating drinking water to improve public health, some communities are wavering on the practice. In one Michigan county, the medical director is mirroring Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s ...

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

Mike Johnson honors the Capitol Police by hiding the plaque in a basement that Congress gave them for protecting elected’s on Jan 6.

He honors Americans by bad-mouthing all who attend the “No Kings” rally.
He’s as unAmerican as they come!

This is one of the most vile stories in recent times. Jones lying about and taunting grieving families is absolutely disgusting. Then he fakes an apology but then appeals the punishment? What utter scum! He should be in prison.

I remember this.
tRump received a $10mil ‘loan’ from Egypt during the 2016 run for election against Hillary. Shady shit ensued and then he gave Egypt $180Mil then $1.2BIL!
This regime has been dirty from the get go.

If you are a lawyer, please help out and do this: bring or borrow a megaphone, point out what the police and/or ICE are doing is not clear, and speak out! Use your tools to help with what is going on!

Robert Herd, the attorney, explains why what is happening is unconstitutional, yet because he knew the law, he received better care (which wasn't good) than others.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Jeffries needs to chase him down, with a camera crew in tow. Mike Johnson is still strutting around the Capitol in his little suit and tie, as if to give some impression that he’s actually working. PROVE THAT HE IS NOT!

Desole @desolebleu.bsky.social · 2d

Why is Mike Johnson still marching around the halls of the Capitol in his little blue suit and starched shirt doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?

Of all the callouts for government waste, he is the NUMBER ONE most wasteful application of taxpayer money.
