As much as I want to show solidarity with Chicago right now, it feels good to see the Cubs knocked out of the playoffs

Since 2016, I"ve wished Christopher Hitchens was around to comment on Tr*mp. Well, Hitch actually wrote about his 2000 presidentail campaign:

"Trump has gold fixtures in his lavatories, as if he’s never read any jokes about people who do that."

Hegseth slingshotting newly minted Tr*mp dollar coins into a crowd of military personnel:

WAR FIGHTERS!!! SCRAMMBLE FOR YOUR PAY!!!

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 10h

Trump says he’s ordered Hegseth to pay the troops during the government shutdown.

“We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS.”

Trump: Chuck Schumer recently said, "Every day gets better" during their Radical Left Shutdown. I DISAGREE! If nothing is done, because of
"Leader" Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th. That is why I am using my authority, as Commander in Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th. We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS. I will not allow the Democrats to hold our Military, and the entire Security of our Nation, HOSTAGE, with their dangerous Government Shutdown. The Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Trolling my kids by calling them Tr*mp supporters for being on TikTok

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 1d

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...

Trump, 79, has "cardiac age" of 65-year-old, doctor says

Donald Trump was found to be in "exceptional health" in a medical evaluation, the U.S. president's doctor said in a memo released by the White House on Friday, with his "cardiac age" 14 years younger than in "chronological age."

Christopher Hitchens loved Doug Wilson. Hitch believed that all religious believers are crazed nut jobs. Wilson confirmed that for him.
