Think of the caliber person it would take to be asked, 'hey- we'd like you to lie for 4 years, then be riddled in lawsuits for the rest of your natural born life while ruining any chance at ever working for a reputable employer again', and that person say YES.

Trump is now begging the same world leaders he’s been threatening—asking them to send eggs to the U.S. to help bail him out as prices skyrocket.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.
I will never bow down.

A lot of the “achievements” of western civilization actually kind of suck but one thing that definitely does not suck is how half our children don’t die anymore

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

Not surprised. Every day this person shows us just how deranged and dangerous he is. And because apparently enough people don’t want to admit this or do anything about it he is also the leader of the most militarily and economically powerful nation on the planet during a global permacrisis.
Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.
