that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

That the networks don't have a live feed from Portland running in the corner is journalistic malpractice.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 18h

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."

But better not spend money on sending food to starving children or providing life-saving medications because we're not going to be spending money on unnecessary things anymore...

I'm pretty sure he's going to bail anyway. My expectation is as soon as the hostages are free, they're going to try to destroy everything that's left and Trump is going to let them (and probably get a good real estate deal in the process).

Was it followed up with, "So there's no point in wearing one anyway"?

Genjibear @genjibear.bsky.social · 1d

I'm just waiting to find out the reason he actually declares war on another country is because because he had no choice after they didn't give him the prize, in the same way an abuser is like, "You gave me no choice but to beat you senseless!"

Genjibear @genjibear.bsky.social · 1d

The dumbest thing about this is the "if" in that sentence. As if it's even a remote possibility of something that could happen when the guy is blowing up fishing boats and threatening war constantly and sending troops to his own cities and renaming the DOD the Department of War.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

This should frankly be illegal. Anything created by AI should be required to have a very obvious, clear, unremovable watermark if it's going to be allowed.

GenAI is not a tool for creatives. It's for people who resent the time, effort, and collaboration of creation.

someone should tell Trump they don't give the Peace Prize to people who blow up boats and murder those on high seas nor to those who deploy military against their own people. NEVER.

He has no idea what they're talking about. I'm sure the media with its "Joe Biden obviously has mental deterioration" is going to be all over this story.

Genjibear @genjibear.bsky.social · 2d

Not to mention it's already at some of these appointments where babies get multiple shots. Can you imagine adding three more on top of it when it could just be one? I honestly think you'll see more moms spreading them out more to avoid it.

Genjibear @genjibear.bsky.social · 2d

The question of the day: will mainstream media

1) pretend they have no idea he said this and not report on it at all
2) explain that he didn't really mean it like that
3) talk about how this is outrageous and should be impeachable and how could he say such a thing?

(we know it won't be 3)

Pritzker isn't low-IQ because he's not Black. Only Johnson is low-IQ because he's Black.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump: "They've had hundreds of people shot and then a guy like Pritzker or this low IQ mayor gets up -- the people are all against him. Beautiful Black women are wearing a MAGA hat last night on TV. And they said, 'We don't care who comes, just stop the crime.' They don't care if it's military."

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

This isn't dementia. This is believe Fox News bullshit and being too stupid to actually find out. I'm sure Stephen Miller is telling him shit like this, too, to get him to sign off on everything he wants.

Is it really that hard to just not let them lie all the freaking time? I mean, this is just a blatantly obvious lie. It's easily disproven. But no one will challenge it so a bunch of idiotic MAGA followers will now think it's true.
