O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it
Wow.
Trump is holding a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s-themed party at his private club in Palm Beach tonight as he tries to withhold SNAP and health care subsidies from millions of Americans. (via Kellie Meyer)
Where there is demand, supply will follow. 50 years of blaming Colombia / attacking cartels hasn’t worked. Look to Portugal.
The Wall Street Journal describes how Venezuela, under Nicolás Maduro's rule, has transformed into a cocaine distribution hub, with supplies coming from Colombia and destined for the United States and Europe.
Disaster capitalism
If Trump topples Maduro, the elections in Venezuela will be rigged to install a pro-Trump puppet.

Contracts for rebuilding would be awarded to Trump-owned companies or to companies owned by Trump's friends.

Just like DOGE awarded contracts to Musk-owned businesses.

That's the goal.
Eventually, he will be gone. And some president is going to remodel this atrocity by stating that Trump cut corners and the shoddy work means it has to be all redone. And no one will doubt the veracity of it at all
sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is
1. This is illegal
2. This is stupid
3. The Venezuelan people, who have been suffering for 20 years, will suffer more.
The peace president is about to start a war.
(Miami Herald) - The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald ..

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

Honestly going out of the Carabao cup at this stage is the right decision. Liverpool got the 3rd team some play and now they get more rest down the road
May as well add Dustin Hoffman because he played a role in a movie like this.
Tune in tonight, as Bari Weiss has arranged an exclusive interview with Clyde, the orangutang from the 1978 blockbuster EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE!
Dystopian
However bad you think the police surveillance state has become, it’s worse. Here a tiny police force has blanketed a tiny town in a network of cameras to track every person and vehicle that goes through. Which leads a cop to this woman’s house to lie to her to coax a false confession.

A doctor doesn't schedule an MRI unless he suspects that there is something wrong with you physically.

And a doctor doesn't have you take a Cognitive Test unless he notices cognitive decline.

Neither test is a sign that Donald Trump is in a healthy physical & mental state.
Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so.

There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.

you know, I think most people should not be doing chotiner interviews, but also, I think comms professionals should, on average, fare better than this. yikes.
Up is down. Left is right and so on

That was a penalty. Real Madrid getting away with this here
Good that Mbappe missed because that should never have been a penalty
For all his talk, something seems off with Yamal.
I’m not even convinced that’s a foul (since the trip on Gapko wasn’t)
Trip Gapko: not a penalty. Kick just outside the box: penalty. So consistent the refs in this match!
Of course it’s Kerkez who scores. Irony
I’ve seen enough. This #Liverpool squad is far away from being a top team. Slot looks out of his depth.
