Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

Scott Bessent: "Mr. President, I looked into that idea we discussed and I have good news and bad news. The good news is there is a legal way for us to minting a Trump coin. The bad news is..." [pulls a pistol out of his briefcase]

Sure, why not? It's not like this Trump guy already has a job.

Trump: My plan calls for the creation of a new international oversight body. The board of peace… it will be headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump… everybody wants to be on it now. They named me and everyone wanted to be on it.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

The irony is that the charge against Comey is lying to Congress.

In the last 24 hours, Trump gave a rambling speech about a medical issue that he knows nothing about in a clear attempt to inform the world that he is a fucking idiot. Then, in case the whole world didn't get the message, he gave another rambling demented speech to the UN.

wouldn't the existence of those letters put the soldier in even more legal jeopardy because it shows they knew it was an illegal order?

I think the biggest tell of Trump’s mental decline is there are no quiet parts. He says everything he is thinking out loud, no matter how demented.

Yesterday, Air Force One: Trump said the quiet part out loud…

He threatened to yank broadcast licenses from networks that criticize him.

“They’re giving me all this bad press, and they’re getting a license. I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Remember yesterday, when you didn’t really believe it was true, but maybe part of you kinda hoped? Then he had to go on camera and ruin everything babbling about Space Force.
