so, did I miss much?

It's been a bit over a month at St Vincents' Hospital for fairly major head surgery, and then some rehab time at Sacred Heart - I've been discharged and am home again. Lots of outpatient stuff and a whole lot of medication still to come, of course.

The Trumpist regime still hasn't adjusted to the entire idea that the Chinese govt isn't scared of them and they keep flailing as a result.

Reminder once again that there still *isn't* a done TikTok deal and the journalists who've reported about the deal the last half dozen times it didn't happen are fucking gullible wastes of space.

That's ok I'm sure the Trump regime wouldn't lie to *you*, again, you're their special friend.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

RFK Jr is a eugenicist who wants kids to die. If they got a disease clearly they were genetically unfit

I mean the reason you fight disease is because it's the right thing to do, but even the Trumpists don't understand that disease doesn't care about your flag.

I'm old enough to recall Trump and others screaming about possible risk from Ebola (it was a bullshit scare) but the Trumpists (yeah, I include Musk) have destroyed every agency that might have worked to defend the US in this way.

So they've fired everyone at the CDC EIS (epidemic intelligence service, the "disease detectives") and the folks who do www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index.h... so a big day for Nurgle and other death cults. Also everyone at CISA. Fucking hell.

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.
