Trump can't attack Reagan, and he knows it. All he can do is try to convince the rubes that make up the MAGA base that it's somehow an AI fake.

It's unbelievably sad that he has to lie like this, and that the rubes that still support him are gonna fall for it.
He can't actually say anything bad about Reagan, and he knows it. This is all he has. Pathetic.

Knowing Trump he sold the pricier items to his friends and stole the rest

The hilarious part of this is Trump absolutely cannot attack Reagan in any way. All he can do is call it fake and attack the EXISTENCE of the ad, but not the substance of it. So he is attacking Canada for the temerity of quoting a conservative hero’s words at length.

Another moment we all realize Trump is an out-of-it geezer, a 20th century throwback who watches TV for hours.

As David Roth described him, Trump has “rabbit’s ears and a glass jaw.”
What a goddamned child he is.

A bunch of billionaires— including Marc Benioff— bent Trump’s ear about this. The mayor of SF is also filthy rich. Since he only listens to fellow rich people, he called it off.

True: For ICE, San Jose and Oakland are pretty target-rich.
What's hilarious is the visiting ICE agents (always from red states, of course) are holed up on Coast Guard Island in Alameda. Only one way in or out. We'll probably see most of the protesting (and police rioting) there.

Illiteracy aside, she is really starting to look like hell, puffy and on the verge of tears.
Lying like that all the time takes a real toll, apparently.

Oh, never. Karoline Leavitt's headstone will be inscribed "THIS IS BIDEN'S FAULT."

They want to be Nazis and do Nazi things, but they don’t want to be called Nazis ‘cos they know Nazis are villains and actual American patriots traditionally punch Nazis.

Every time they’re cornered with the truth, they attack the questioner. This behavior is so common it’s a tell now.

He's talking to the base, and this is what's happening:

This is one long ad for Democrats to use. I don't think they have any idea how upsetting this imagery is for most Americans.

Skot Christopherson @skotchris.bsky.social · 3d

This insane dispatch hinges on his belief that farmers are doing better than ever. Why?
1. Someone on his staff is lying to him, and he's just repeating it.
2. His brain isn't functioning properly. He often makes decisions on things that aren't real. More than ever lately.

It's more like "Stop calling us fascists and Nazis." You hear this over and over from bureau chiefs in the DHS. They are hiding a rather serious morale problem among the rank and file.

Thirteen years? Yikes.
I suppose there is no hard rule that reps and senators MUST have regular town halls to maintain direct contact with their constituents. It must be a "norm:" You know, one of those good-faith things the GOP throws away easily.

Skot Christopherson @skotchris.bsky.social · 4d

A 10-year-old would be too embarrassed to lie like this

Skot Christopherson @skotchris.bsky.social · 4d

Big talk. Release the files.
And Trump was more than a friend and a client of Epstein's: he was also a procurer. He so much as said so.
But hey: If Clinton is guilty, he can be thrown into the cell right next to Trump.

Is there such a thing as "Metaphorical Overload?" 'Cos this is definitely it
