If Trump gives milei $20 billion US dollars now, how on earth would he take it back if milei loses in 2027? Is he going to ask nicely?

As opposed to republicans who would never scream and assault LEOs

Photo from the Jan 6 coup attempt by Trump and his cult members, trying to overthrow the 2020 election. You can see these courteous republicans screaming at police and ramming them with barricades here.

Not only is the Trump admin crushing dissent with violence, arrests, tear gas, etc. Now they’re threatening to do more harm to the whole country if any protests take place. The is a violation of the constitution and another example of the Trump fascism

The striking difference between the reaction to Biden flubbing a word or being tired as a crisis worthy of relentless news coverage vs Trump clearly lying, deluded, confabulating, being an idiot and it not even being worthy of the press’ attention feels very intentional.

Trump essentially mocking Kirk for not being as nimble as Trump is in dodging bullets is classic sadistic asshole Trump.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

My mom would be going but her Parkinson’s is too severe. She was a leader in the 1980s nuclear disarmament movement and organized marches in NYC and DC that drew a million people. Old ladies here are badasses and protest is part of their genetic code.

“Basket of deplorables” sounds really quaint compared to being called an evil violent demon who hates this country

SJ Worrier @sjworrier.bsky.social · 19h

At what point do all the journalists who freaked out that Biden mumbled or misspoke a word or two BECAUSE SURELY THAT WAS A SIGN OF COGNITIVE DECLINE actually come out of their convenient comas to comment on Trump’s confabulation and obvious dementia?

China purposely didn’t buy US soybeans because our “friend” Argentina undercut us to sell all their soybeans to china. And trump rewarded Argentina for betraying us with a $20 BILLION gift.
Making America fucking terrible.

If this guy was next to you in the subway you would move to another seat. But because he’s the president every reporter there just nods along, too chickenshit to call out the guy with dementia and the nuke codes.

Just think of how many young men have used these supplements for years. Lead exposure in adulthood hurts your brain. What if the decline in critical thinking ability in young men (which shows up as believing propaganda and liking Trump) is a result of their own desire to beef up?

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Why would you ask a far right conservative to profile Fuentes? Is GQ trying to make sure they lock down the young NeoNazi demographic?

Rural Maine has been decimated this year with hospital and clinic closures. That’s what republican rule does to a community.

This is only a rare disease now because we started vaccinating for it about 30 years ago. In unvaccinated children it can cause ear infections, pneumonia, meningitis, and death. Vaccines save lives, including the H flu vaccine!

It’s a crime in Portland to interfere with the function of medical responders.

Biden's cease-fires got 135 living hostages released. Trump's got 20 (which is less than it would have been had he enforced the continuation of the January cease fire).
