Scorned at home and abroad. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

David Rothkopf @djrothkopf.bsky.social · Jun 17

He's on a really epic losing streak at home and abroad. What's more, nobody at the G7 (or anywhere) really has any use for him. I don't recall a more impotent, ostracized, poorly thought of president in our modern history. At his parade, at G7, he gives off a very very strong pissed off loser vibe.

Good. Alex Jones intentionally caused misery and suffering for so many families already wracked with pain. I hope he ends up penniless and living on the street.

Needless poking another person in the eye. Just gratuitous insults.

Fox News is a de facto ministry of propaganda in this country. Whatever "story" Trump and the right want to make public, Fox News is happy to provide them with a forum to do so.

It is a disgrace that Fox continues to put them on constantly day after day to spew their propaganda to their friends when Hegseth & Wilson are afraid to face real press and are obviously in the process of covering a lot up that they don’t want the American people to know.

The toddler in chief is unhappy about his picture. The self absorption is off the charts.

But of course. The presence of these goons has nothing to do with safety or security. Rather, it is all about creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.

Good. The administration should not be allowed to broadcast blatant propaganda at US airports.

DaveN50 @daven50.bsky.social · 18h

Wait. Wasn't Trump the guy who complained incessantly about rigged elections?

As long as these people support Trump, the fact they are has been is immaterial to the right.

Of course US consumers are paying the tariffs. This is how tariffs work. The Trump claim those other countries would be paying the tariffs was always nonsense. Any thinking person knew this.

The corruption of this administration never, ever ends.

Kristi Noem deserves every bit of the scorn and contempt she receives.

DaveN50 @daven50.bsky.social · 1d

She learned her trade from Trump, a guy who regularly accuses everyone else of lying when, in fact, he is lying.

Another step on the road to dumbing down America.

"DO SOMETHING"

Another cry in the wilderness by a person who has lost his wits.

To be a member of Trump's inner circle, one must agree to fawn on command. These people are constantly embarrassing themselves.

More insane nuttery on the part on an insane nut.

Another lie told by Newt Gingrich. Trump isn't willing to take the heat on any matter. Trump has repeatedly blamed the Democrats for the shutdown.

DaveN50 @daven50.bsky.social · 2d

This is exactly right. Trump has repeatedly refused to spend monies allocated by Congress. This must stop.

DaveN50 @daven50.bsky.social · 3d

I would have added Tulsi Gabbard to this.

DaveN50 @daven50.bsky.social · 3d

Intelligent, thinking people have been saying this for months.

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.
