This keeps happening, and the other reporters keep acting like it’s business as usual. I’m losing my mind.

If I was in a press conference and a public official did this, I’d immediately walk out.
KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

A reasonable group of people would just walk out. The deference he gets because he is POTUS turns people into cowards and enablers. It's sickening to watch.

Notice how he caught himself after saying "Jeffrey's island" (rather than "Jeffrey Epstein's island)?

Maybe I'm overthinking it but it sure seemed like he realised that he slipped up by referring to him by first name only, like you would a close friend...
Q: Are you going to sue Trevor Noah?

TRUMP: Well, he said I spent time on Jeffrey Epstein's island. I didn't. He's a lightweight, this guy. I think he's terrible. I thought he did a terrible job at the Grammy's. Frankly, I think the DOJ should just say 'we have other things to do'

The argument here makes me feel the same way as the "Hamas want to use dead babies for propoganda" line:

No shit, but that doesn't mean the state need to oblige them.

They dont *have* to shoot a woman in the face, or gun down a guy filming them, you psychos. They needlessly escalate danger.

In ICE's book, filming them IS impeding them - it's impeding them from committing fuckery and lying about it.
BOVINO: He was in the scene actively impeding and assaulting law enforceme--

BASH: But he wasn't impeding. He was filming, which is a legal thing to do in the United States

BOVINO: Dana, let's not free frame adjudicate this now

Noem: "We pray for the deceased, but we also recognize that the Minnesota and the Minneapolis governor need to take a long hard look in the mirror. They need to evaluate their rhetoric, their conversations, and their encouragement of such violence against our citizens and law enforcement officers."

This is at least the 4th time he's called it "Aber-baijan", with the extact same stumbling pause in the middle....
Trump: "I settled 8 other wars ... Aber-bajian"

This is apparently real, Trump is absolutely batshit, malignant narcissist and capable of , anything.

They keep trying to justify these invasions and bombings by talking about the imminent threats posed by their enemies...but didn't Trump promise us that their enemies WOULDNT be making moves with him in office?
Trump: "We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not because if we don't it, Russia or China will take over Greenland. If we don't do it the easy way we're gonna do it the hard way."

Even a decade into this farce the brazenness with which he boasts about stealing resources from a neighbor by force is shocking. Even the old colonial powers at least *pretended* to have some higher aim than pure plunder.
Trump on Venezuela: "That was a perfect attack. We've taken over a whole country. We've taken $4 billion of oil in one day. That will increase."

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?

RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

Of course he just learned it today.

Intel briefings and PDBs are too complicated, so unless it's on Fox News, he has no idea.
Trump to Zelenskyy on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: "They have 5,000 people in that plant. Can you believe it? I learned that today."

Is this the type free speech JD Vance was lecturing us about?
Here is a gift link to the NYT article about Weiss killing a fact-checked story because it was not sympathetic enough to an presidential administration in the midst of deciding about another corporate merger that CBS's owners are trying to win.

Someone needs to track down his in-laws and find out what they think about this stuff.
JD Vance: "They are not sending their best. Omar Fateh was Ilehan [sic] Omar's candidate for mayor of Mogadishu-- I mean Minneapolis. Little Freudian slip there."

You know, we don't need to reach for historical comparisons - we can simply highlight posts like this and declare that the US is currently run by a bunch of sociopaths, many of whom are intent on ethnically cleansing the global North while they pillage the global South.

Stephen Miller is evil.

There was a time when this kind of thing needed sexed up dossiers etc, and that wasn't exactly better.

Regardless, saying the war is about stopping a drug Venezuela don't produce, designating it a WMD, and then saying 'actually, we just want the oil' definitely marks a new dawn in neo-colonialism.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

Now, why didn’t Trump’s lawyers just include the sentence in the quote, like Michael Prescott did?

It’s because Prescott omitted a chunk of quote too. Trump’s lawyers have managed to cut it out of their filing, too, but they’ve done it more cleverly than him. Here’s the missing bit:

This idiot doesn't even understand his own lawsuit.

It's probably been memory-holed already, but he said something very similar about Jamal Kashoggi during his press conference with MBS a couple of weeks ago.

Trump has been very consistent in dismissing brutal murders with "he had it coming to him", if the person doesn't support him.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Hot take: Writing's on the Wall is a better Bond theme than Skyfall, if only because of how much better the mix is.

They already are, and arguably have been for quite some time.
I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

This question is somehow worse than the parody @mrjamesob.bsky.social likes to bring up.
Q: Everyone knows that J6 was a Fed-surrection to set you and your supporters up. What's your gut instinct about the new pipe bomber suspect taken into custody?

TRUMP: I really appreciate that question. It's sort of a statement, and I appreciate it very much. The whole thing was a Democrat hoax.

Is this the first time a Western head of state has issued a travel warning about *their own country*?

Either way, its a hell of a thing for a so-called Patriot to do. This mf is out here depriving his own citizens of tourism revenue just to own the libs.

Sigh.
Monica Crowley claims Trump is "talking to FIFA" about potentially moving the World Cup out of "blue cities," but no decisions have been made
December 5, 2025 at 6:14 PM
What's the betting that Trump just gives his standard stump speech (hottest country in the world, check the tariff shelf, rigged election, people coming in from mental institutions etc) at the World Cup draw?

Some of my non-political mates might finally see what I've been saying for months.
