@jaketapper.bsky.social didn't you say you had learned some kind of lesson about ignoring cognitive decline in presidents?

Or was that not for the Republican president / dictator?

I mean, not nuts in a good way.

I see what you did there

Trump is nuts. And a criminal.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 4h

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

The Antifa boogeyman.

It's kind of Orwellian when they use it to go after people.

Sounds like the kind of guy that a molester like Donald "Grab `em by the pussy" Trump would hire.

Ladies ad gentlemen, the Republicans.

Did a quick post earlier to reinforce that in the places where Trump says crime is out of control crime is demonstrably under control.

The Republican Party is the party of crime. Led by a criminal who doesn't follow the law, running interference for him in Congress & at the Supreme Court.

Republicans even help a molester cover up his long friendship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein

We must defend the USA from this party.

Or, the Bozo's Post. You pick.

Yes, but...

Standing up requires courage, not fear. Can we please stop spreading fear. Please.

Spreading fear discourages people from standing up against powerful criminals.

Let's rally people to courage and to action.

Democrats need to get involved in shaping stories, narratives, and polls.

Enough with being pushed around by events. Use that power we all worked to give you!

Democrats should be out there calling for the disbarment of any attorneys involved in a malicious, politically-motivated prosecution.

The Justice Department won an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James Thursday.

The indictment makes James the second of President Trump’s political foes to be charged in the Eastern District of Virginia.

There is much to agree with there but some problems. Or one big one.

It appears that most of the deaths of American Indians by Europeans was a result of new diseases brought over by Europeans and their livestock.

OFC, there was also a lot of intentional slaughter.

Ignorant, yes. Antisemitic? Not convinced. Plenty of Gentiles are circumcised early. It seems a safe bet that it's more Gentiles than Jews.

Though he has had said other likely Antisem things.

But, also, Republicans should stop covering up the Epstein files and Trump's role.

Strange New Worlds is prime Star Trek.

Ah! It helps the banksters!

And therein lies the answer for why Republicans like the idea.

Cilliza is a terrible person. His parents failed.

Also, billionaires are pathologically greedy people who will never have enough money and will keep hoarding it.

Satisfying their greed should be our problem, but it is a huge problem for all of us.

Why is Bernie Sanders endorsing a Blue Dog Democrat?

As a Wisconsin resident I am perplexed that you have early endorsed a primary candidate against Derrick Van Orden who ran just last year as a centrist, and condemned progressives.

We have a better candidate!
