I've long suspected it's as simple as they do things for money and they're not creative.

I have some bad news for JD Vance if he thinks violating the oath of office is "pretty criminal."

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...

I feel my most Ron Swanson when I realize I've been acknowledging some guys for years but we've never spoken. I call one guy the judge because he just gave me judge vibes.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

Headed into Seattle today after a wonderful driving tour of central and northern Washington. Put about a thousand miles on the rental car.

News footage from Portland shows a calm, tranquil city. But an AI video that Stephen Miller texted to Donald Trump shows the city as a burning hellhole. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

I'm convinced they're trying to raise the "be there, will be wild" flag for their audience to show up and cause trouble.

cynical dreamer @tundrafox907.bsky.social · 3d

This all sounds like they're trying to call the January 6ers back to action.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

Anecdotally my mother is conditioned to reject anything that isn't the right wing universe. She hates Stephen Colbert with a passion, but hasn't watched even clip of his show in years.
