We need to start using this video to make fun of him.

Call him President Poopy Pants. Talk about how he takes poop out of his diaper & throws it around when he gets bored or too excited. That throwing his poop is the only thing that makes him smile ... etc.

Let him be the man he wants to be.

The cruelty is the point. These sanctimonious pricks in suits shut down the government for their political theater, and who suffers? Not them. It's the millions of families wondering how to feed their kids.

Many interesting perspectives in this thread. As someone who lives in an area with abundant wind energy (we used to have solar panels but now we just subscribe to a wind-only power plan from a local company!) this is one that stood out to me.

Jenny Chase @solarchase.bsky.social · 13h

24. We oughtta be building more wind. Seriously, solar will get built anyway, but wind needs some help, and wind blows in the dark and in the winter. It doesn’t help that solar pushes down power prices and generates renewable energy credits (where relevant), which hurts wind farm economics.

Poor President Poopy Pants. He gets that way sometimes. No one interrupts him, cos if they do, he'll start flinging poop around the room from his diaper. He really enjoys doing that. It's one of the few things that makes him smile.

Just a reminder that in addition to everything else, a Republican president is unilaterally and unconstitutionally raising taxes as a way of settling his personal beefs with other countries and their political leaders.

1/2 When asked about China being a threat, Trump refers to tariffs as a “tremendous power” where unless China “makes a deal”, they’ll pay “157%” in tariffs from Nov 1.

I’d like to mention that these tariffs are practically an import tax on American buyers.

President Poopy Pants was basically doing what some monkeys do ... slinging around poop to get attention.

Really ... someone needs to change his diapers more often.

I really think he's lost it already. I don't know if he's always been a psycho. Or if getting old is making him crazy or giving him Alzheimer's. Or if maybe whatever he's taking in hopes of living forever has eaten away his brain and made him completely batty bonkers.

For those asking what this means: There's good reason to believe that Kash Patel is snooping into Jim Comey's attorney client privileged comms.

The investigations of Trump were delayed YEARS thanks to proper attorney privilege reviews.

emptywheel @emptywheel.bsky.social · 5h

This passage, from Jim Comey's response to the loaner AUSAs' bid to set up a filter review, seems to suggest they're asking for a filter review that they've already started, and they're doing it under warrants for 793 rather than this case.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The government has to date refused to answer the defense’s questions about
the legal basis to continue to review materials pursuant to [redaction] that [redaction]
. Similarly, the government has refused to answer
questions about what, precisely, it intends to review from the prior warrants.
Particularly in the face of the government’s refusal to answer basic questions about
this proposed review, and in light of the serious privilege and constitutional
concerns apparent from even a superficial review of the warrants, the defense needs
time to diligently review the discovery to respond to this motion.2 Concerns about
the potential review are amplified because the defense has reason to believe [redaction]
