What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Yea but Rob Citrone (Bessent’s friend) doesn’t have a fortune tied to the measles. He does have a fortune tied to Argentina

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

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...

Not just you. Every day he shows he is living in a delusional world and barely able to put two words together

The Nazis actively encouraged sadists and violence prone individuals to the Gestapo. As a organization devoted to terrorizing Germans into submission the regime needed individuals who took pleasure in causing harm and fear.
I saw a recruitment commercial for ICE. This admin is looking for sadists

So if this shutdown ever ends what excuse will Johnson use to hide the Epstein files?

You should not control a nuclear arsenal if you cannot tell the difference between fiction and reality. The story needs to be told through the lens of mental illness

Simon Rosenberg @simonwdc.bsky.social · 1d

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.

It has nothing to do with Bessent friend Rob Citrone who is heavily leveraged on Argentina and will face financial ruin without the bailout

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
