A "Democrat oriented" civil servant? What does that even mean. How long can the media keep sane washing this dementia addled old man? Unbelievable. Is there not one journalists in this country?????

Q: "How many layoffs have you authorized?"

Trump: "A lot. It will be Democrat oriented...They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we'll announce the numbers over the next couple of days, but it will be a lot of people...Many of them will be fired."

Could markets be catching on that Donald Trump is not well???

Even before the media does?

Democrats had better get a lot if they give them 60 votes and force us to keep the 60 vote filibuster.

Dave Urban @davidjohnurban.bsky.social · 3h

hamstrung. If democrats have any hope of saving our country in 2029 then they cannot be restricted to 60 votes in the Senate. MAGA has all three branches, let them sink or swim. ACA is important, yes, but so are a lot of things. ICE, deportations, DOGE, DOJ, Ukraine, blowing up boats, on & on.

I think it best if MAGA gets rid of the 60 vote filibuster rule. I thought that is why we voted Senate democrats like Fetterman (I know I know) into office in 2022. Manchin and Sinema prevented democrats from getting enough done. Unfortunately, democrats lost the house in 2022 and we were still

The Republicans don’t want to pass their budget on their own. It’s full of ugly and unpopular stuff. They want Dem cover. We cannot give it to them.

Kevin Collins @kwcollins.bsky.social · 4h

The founders in fact did NOT create the filibuster, but they DID give the Senate and House each the power to set their own rules, which includes changing rules to allow passage of appropriations bills with simple majorities

It is an enigma.

And not the Enigmas (12-16 year old girls) who never age.

If it was up to me, every reporter's follow up to the senile mad king would be: "are you lying or are you delusional?"

A mix of both. But you have to believe the lie to pull it off as Trump does. Dementia makes it easier.

Dave Urban @davidjohnurban.bsky.social · 3h

Thank you @simonwdc.bsky.social for speaking the simple truth. As Donald Trump's dementia gets worse every day, I just don't see how the media can continue ignoring the plain reality.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

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."

Trump has gone totally mad. It's 25th Amendment time all day, every day. He's living in a totally invented, fictional world. And he's old and in ill-health.

It's outrageous, reckless, choose your word that Republicans haven't done more to deal with this.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5h

Trump: "The restaurants were all closing, now you can't get into a restaurant. They're opening up new restaurants. It took 12 days for us. We sent in not politically correct military. We sent them in based on merit."
