It's a national emergency to hurt someone's feelings. The same folks waved flags about people being too sensitive.

They were with law enforcement. Those files were on the AG's desk, until they weren't.

NEWS: A Democratic candidate calling a subset of Republicans “deplorable” nine years ago.

NOT NEWS: A sitting Republican president confessing that he “hates” Democrats, posting AI-generated fantasies about sh*tting on them, and telling generals that they are “no different than a foreign enemy.”

Also, it may seem like a small thing, but by my count this is the third Ezra Klein show that highlights Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” comment. To be fair, it is the guest who brings it up. But it is important in highlighting what I see as the double standard by which the parties are assessed.

I have also not heard "We're going to have the greatest ballroom at the White House" during his campaign.

It's a National Emergency to hurt thin orange skin nowadays. I hope that they can add this episode to the lawsuit about the legality of his tariffs.

tuffgecko @tuffgecko.bsky.social · 1d

National Emergency. That's the legal argument for his tariffs. Hurting his feelings is now categorized as a national Emergency. No words.

What a f*cking surprise?! Now, why are we paying tax dollars to fund these goons with bogus bs charges?

Agreed... but we're way past a silent coup.

The same guys have introduced work requirements for social benefits.

tuffgecko @tuffgecko.bsky.social · 2d

Yep... also see: His cabinet!

This gold look is vomit inducing. Displaying wealth in "the people's house" while taking away food from the poor is more than bad taste.

Whataboutism: Finding an example of an a**hole to justify being an a**hole. In politics, these candidates run on not being the same a**hole as the current office holder. Once elected, they act like an a**hole, applying whataboutism. I.e. where is Jim Jordan's crusade against DOJ weaponization?

From now on, they'll have to join a Signal group.

President Donald Trump struggled to answer questions from the press regarding reports that he is seeking to force the Department of Justice to pay him $230 million as compensation for being investigated during the Biden presidency.

Trump, 79, Can't Figure Out How to Answer Simple Question

It took numerous attempts to get an answer.

Wonder how Mike Johnson explains this away. Still waiting on "the point" that the President apparently made with his AI poop video.

tuffgecko @tuffgecko.bsky.social · 5d

So, let's check this out. Trump sues the DOJ for any sort of money and signs off on the payout. How is this not a king? He found a way to literally pocket tax dollars with impunity.

tuffgecko @tuffgecko.bsky.social · 21d

One of the biggest tragedies in the long history of the Pentagon. A former TV show weekend co-host in charge. Someone who had to promise to stop drinking to get the job. Let that sink in!

tuffgecko @tuffgecko.bsky.social · 21d

One day, it MAY be used as evidence of crimes committed. Maybe we will get back to a neutral DOJ that does not take orders from a political party.

Thanks for sharing!

Since when is Orange tiny fingers concerned about the legality of his actions? SCOTUS gave him immunity and he takes full advantage of it with the full backing of the GOP.

tuffgecko @tuffgecko.bsky.social · 22d

That will work well to get a Novel peace prize.

tuffgecko @tuffgecko.bsky.social · 22d

What the actual f$&k?!?!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with the President of the United States. Try to stay serious when you negotiate with him about anything... and PLEASE do not compare the WH decor to Gaddafi's favorite color schemes.
