Yes. That’s the behavior others testified he exhibited in college and demonstrated during his Senate hearing. He lacks emotional maturity. He is unfit for the Court.

“Only I can save you.”

Where have we heard that before?

The “okay” that means, “I have completely lost control of this and am not sure how to stick the landing.”

I had him on my fantasy team and he didn't do anything for 3 weeks, so I traded him 😭

It's worse. He is normalizing debauchery. Behavior motivated by seeking pleasure is pretty normal. Trump is normalizing excessive dissipation. Pleasure seekers generally care if their behavior harms others and avoid it.

Trump and his chucklefucks HOPE their behavior causes others pain.

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

How would the government (derogatory) know or find out what discount had been offered to an individual shopper?

Best response. Thank you.

Apropos of nothing in particular, I'm noticing an uptick in people asking questions in the replies to posts which already have replies which which already asked that question and already got an answer... so here's your reminder to look for things.

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 1d

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Can’t tolerate others. Who knew it meant “vegans” and not Republicans?

As a morning person (up by 5 AM every day) I both take exception to this, but also endorse it.

Only about a third of the Trump interview aired on "60 Minutes." CBS has published the transcript of the complete interview here —> www.cbsnews.com/news/read-fu...

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

I know without reading this that it will ignore that what these folks do is probably more “deep play” rather than “work.”

This is how the rich valorize “total labor.” By us, not them.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

The goal of trolls who lie, attack and shitpost is to obfuscate the truth and bully you into silence.

Keep sharing. Keep caring.

What makes this moment especially egregious is the Trump administration’s unprecedented decision to deny SNAP benefits during a government shutdown, Marc H. Morial writes.
