We have the nearly 80-year old President of the United States is talking about dying and getting into - and now talking that he won’t get into - Heaven.

AND NO MEDIA OUTLET IS RINGING THE ALARM BELLS! WTF!?!?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Are you angling for a job at CBS? Because otherwise you just look like a complete idiot sucking up to this vapid outrage peddler.

Lotta whiny Cubs fans last night and this morning after the Brewers bounced them. This crying over the Brewers “being mean” to the Cubs is just sad and pathetic. I detest that sports media has pushed this idea that the Cubs - and Red Sox - are required to be loved because…they sucked? It’s just dumb

bobjenkins1930.bsky.social @bobjenkins1930.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, please. The media’s devotion to the Cubs and Red Sox being these darling organizations that everyone is forced to love is so annoying. They are both obnoxious teams and their fans would be saying worse if they won. Their rivals can absolutely stick it to them when they beat them in the playoffs.

The country is going to hell right now thanks to a fascist regime, cowardly Congress, and corrupt SCORUS…but at least the Brewers beat the Cubs and made it to the NLCS.

Where’s your fucking “come get me, bro” energy here, @jbpritzker.bsky.social ? Your State Police are assisting ICE and assaulting citizens and you aren’t even condemning it, let alone stopping them.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

Japan is having a flu epidemic, the US is at the start of a measles outbreak, COVID is spiking again, and avian flu is just kind of hovering around & waiting on the fringes.

America is ripe for another pandemic - one that Blue states should survive better because we believe in science and medicine.

This is beyond just his obvious and severe mental decline (paging Jake Tapper), it’s clear the Trump is being (easily) manipulated by Stephen Miller and others to roll out their fascism. I cannot understand how this isn’t a 5-alarm fire in every news organization.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

To be fair to Belichick, his way of running football teams didn't work in the NFL, either. The only time it looked good was when he got lucky to have a Hall of Fame QB (and was helped by a few cheating scandals, too).

Now they are attempting to rewrite history to classify the MN lawmaker assassin as "antifa"? Every time I think this fascist regime can't go lower, they always manage to surprise me.

"Yet according to recent estimates, generative AI now accounts for roughly 40 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product. In other words, if the AI spending boom falls apart, it could take down the entire economy with it."

Putting all your eggs into a vaporware basket seems really bad.

My expectations:

- In DC, Chicago, and Portland, the regime will have ICEstapo go after people protesting
- This will inevitably cause chaos and confrontation
- ICEstapo will escalate to violence
- Nat’l Guard will be brought in because of escalations caused by ICE
- Regime says “We told you so!”

Anyone going to a No Kings protest - especially in places like DC, Chicago, and Portland - should probably take extra precautions (know your exits, watch for troublemakers, have a plan, etc.). I’m not saying something bad is going to happen, but it sure seems like bad things are *primed* to happen.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Over the next 3 years, I expect to see this administration and its bootlickers to push for a lot of big and gaudy Trump memorials. I believe they will push hard for adding him to Six Grandfathers (aka Mount Rushmore).

Sure thing, buddy. Let’s reconvene the House for this, which means that Mike Johnson will have to swear in Rep Grijalva, which will be the 218th name needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Honestly, that would be the most hilarious way to have the vote happen.

I guess here’s the new weekend distraction for the shutdown and refusal to release the Epstein Files: how the Nobel Committee is full of anti-American communists and that a lot of fentanyl is coming from Norway so we need to bomb them.
