That…is a fair point.

It would appear they could use a judge, say a member of SCOTUS. No idea why they have not.

Maybe, I dunno, some like enterprising journalist could simply ask him what the fuck he is on about?

China has always had the cards. Trump is just too stupid to see it. As an example, they bought soybeans from us to be nice, not because they had to. But instead of building a reasonable trade policy benefiting both countries, Trump decided to play bully.

Honestly it’s super-effective and I think should be how everyone is dressed out in front of these ICE facilities. Really hard for anyone in MAGAland to claim ICE is being ‘assaulted’ or whatever by people dressed like that without looking like complete idiots.

For what, exactly?

Donald Trump is responsible for over 20% of that debt. But I’m sure he’ll fix it this time, right Mike?

Why would it not be peaceful, Roger?

So…there are going to be Qatari F-15s parked within the borders of the United States? What?

Ryan Leonard @ryandleonard.bsky.social · 1d

Unfortunate. Hopefully they’ll eventually wake up to reality.

The hardcore ones (the ones that travel around to all of his dumb rallies and buy his idiotic merch) probably will. But they’re not the majority of who voted for him and, while way bigger than I’d like, aren’t anywhere near a majority of America.

That it’s all over the top. The constant weird cabinet meetings where they praise him constantly, the blaming of everything on Biden and the Democrats- they’re also super unhappy about the Argentina bailout and the proposed farmer bailout.

I have a feeling this kind of blatant bullshittery is going to back fire on them. Have a few MAGA-adjacent friends who are finally breaking out of the bubble due to nonsense like this.

Just don’t reveal where the annual Antifa potluck is this month please.

Dude just cannot ever tell the truth about anything. Semi-annual physical my ass.

Because they need Milei’s dumb policies to succeed to prove Rand right. Which she wasn’t but they never want to admit that.

Ryan Leonard @ryandleonard.bsky.social · 1d

Largely because the person that is morally worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize would not go around asking for one.

I feel like we need a ‘normally impeachable offense count’. We’ve gotten be up to at least a dozen now? And it’s only been 9 months.

At a school pick up line? What is wrong with these people?

Ryan Leonard @ryandleonard.bsky.social · 1d

Are they seriously going with the mortgage fraud nonsense?

Ryan Leonard @ryandleonard.bsky.social · 1d

Yet he remains far more popular than you ever will be.

Ryan Leonard @ryandleonard.bsky.social · 1d

The man is *obsessed* with the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s really, really weird AF.

Ryan Leonard @ryandleonard.bsky.social · 1d

Are these DMs being kept/backed up per the Presidential Records Act?

Also, these messages are not secure or encrypted, which seems very bad.

I would accept that he can one after he resigns as nothing will bring the world together more than him leaving the White House.

Ryan Leonard @ryandleonard.bsky.social · 1d

Source being open is a bit of a problem though. Hell of a lot easier to find an exploit if you can just browse through the source, particularly if it’s not a very well resourced project.

Either way, the President of the United States should not be using DMs on a platform he owns to communicate.
