This is the truth. I had forgotten. It was this big mystery invention hyped as transforming cities and human transportation forever.
Then it was unveiled and it just a big ‘ol goofy looking scooter no one wanted to ride. 😂😂

Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.

Since the calendar has turned once again to December it is time to speak some truth.
Christmas Vacation and It’s A Wonderful Life are the *best* Christmas movies. (I can’t pick one over the other).
Home Alone is the *worst* Christmas movie.

These numbers ought to scare the heck out of GOP members - and what’s much better than that ought to give all of us who oppose Trump much hope!

Republicans are going to win #TN07 by about 9 points. Which is 12 points less than the margin by which they won the district the last two House elections.
Like I mentioned, there are 117 Republicans who represent districts they'd lose if their races swung 12 points left.
Here's where they are:

The GOP evangelical base could have & should have ended all of this way back when the Access Hollywood video came out.
But they failed the test of character and here we are.
In some ways I’m glad it happened. In hindsight a reckoning was coming. Might as well have it now rather than later.

So Lindsey wants the Pope (!) to become an advocate for wars of aggression? By a nation of 330,000,000, formerly the leader of the free world, upon a distant neighbor of 28,000,000?
Lindsey Graham says the Pope better get on the “right side of history” and support Trump’s push to use military force to overthrow the government of Venezuela

Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

That is a big ass bus.
Hegseth: I watch that first strike live. At the Department of War, we got a lot of things to do so I did not stick around. Couple of hours later, I learned that commander had made -- which he had the complete authority to do, he made the correct decision to sink the boat and eliminated the threat.

Trump: "Under Boot Edge Edge - another grossly incompetent. Get on his bicycle, ride to work. What they do is they take the fiber optics & they take fiber, try to hook it into copper. And fiber and copper don't mix. You can't do it...you saw that by the helicopter crash. You saw that into the plane"

I sincerely wish either most Americans would read the actual batshit crazy stuff that Trump posts on TruthSocial, or that journalists would report about Trump's cray-cray posts. I feel like the vast majority of Americans aren't aware.

Trump (or someone on his behalf) was speed posting on Truth Social last night. Post after deranged post retweeting the most insane, incendiary, conspiratorial trash from the extreme right wing. Threatening everyone from Obama to Pelosi, Comey, John Brennan, etc with military tribunals and arrest

Just straight up unfiltered racism and xenophobia.
Leavitt: "The Trump admin is now actively reexamining all of the Afghans imported into the country by Biden. Any individual who threatens our national security or citizenry will be subject to removal. Trump has already permanently paused migration of foreign nationals from 3rd world countries"

Self-defense? Two survivors clinging to wreckage in the sea. This would be laughable if lives weren’t at stake.
FOX: You said the follow up strike was lawful. What law is it that allows no survivors?
LEAVITT: The strike was conducted in self defense to protect Americans

Whispers: Using the word ‘kinetic’ over and over, a word most of them could not define, does not make the strikes more lawful.

REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.
