Trump isn't just any asshole. He's a clearly cognitively declining, sundowning, misogynist, angry, bitter asshole. This unhinged woman hater has no business living in our White House. Also, what a repugnant lack of group solidarity by these reporters; particularly the men.

The thing about right wing claims of bias in higher ed is that right wing students who can actually write a coherent paper do fine. The ones who go to the press with their gripes tend to reveal that they aren’t actually good at doing the work of school.

People say Trump is a traditionalist. But he's made a list of Jews and a list of journalists without making a list of gypsies. For shame. bsky.app/profile/news...

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.
Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.
They voted to confirm him anyway.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
It’s almost as if there were signs!

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

"The real aim is to overthrow Maduro and then, by cutting off the flow of VZ oil to Cuba, fulfill the Repub. right's dream of collapsing the Cuban gov't.
It’s unlikely to work this time either, though the cost of a military conflict will be higher for U.S. interests and much higher for Venezuelans."
