I really want a transcription of this speech from Trump to the military officers. A fucking rambling political mess.

Jim @stljv.bsky.social · 22d

Imagine being in a room with Trump having to listen to him ramble about himself. The agony.

Trump to generals: "We have beautiful paper, the gorgeous paper. I said, 'throw a little more gold on it, they deserve it. I want the A paper not the D paper.' We used to sign a piece of garbage ... I want to use the big beautiful firm paper."

The President of the United States ordered the military to fire on U.S. citizens because he was watching years-old B reel on Fox News, then promised everyone sci-fi medbed cards.

And the cowards and ghouls in the GOP just sit there instead of invoking the 25th & wheeling him out in a straitjacket.

can you imagine sitting in that audience as a three-star flag officer — decades in the service, multiple post-grad degrees and a virtually unequaled level of command expertise — and being forced to watch this dunderheaded dry drunk give an off-brand jordan belfort seminar?

Holy fuck. I hope the world pushes us away after this UN speech. Move the UN out of the US.

I can't think of another circumstance where we would be forced not only to listen to, but to live at the whim of such an unserious person. It's really amazing. We're all just going along with this.

Trump to the UN: "I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor -- terrible terrible mayor -- and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia Law ... both their immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe."

EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country?

TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

Where was Patel when Democrats got murdered? Where was Kirk for that matter? Why is Trump on Fox stating that there is someone in custody? Why was Patel live tweeting the incorrect ppl of interest's names? This is a disaster of an investigation. The FBI is functioning, but barely. The PR is a mess.

Trump’s Dangerous Response to the Kirk Assassination

Rather than condemning violence and calling for unity, the president of the United States accused his political opposition of being accessories to murder.

wtf?

Why would he say it like this?

Isn’t this the third suspect they’ve had in custody?

Trump: "I always say I think just to protect us all and so Fox doesn't get sued and we don't all get sued, but I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody."

I get them without any sauce. More enjoyable. But I didn't like that if you wanted it warm, it went into a microwave. I did hear they have ovens for warming now though.

what is fascinating to me is the number of people whose “knowledge” of government appears to just be an accumulation of cliches and stereotypes + an inchoate sense that if something is big and costly then it must necessarily be “wasteful”

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · May 8

Interesting piece which reveals a lot of the tech bro ignorance of government: DOGEr comes in, expects to find lots of inefficiency, is at least willing to acknowledge he was wrong unlike the hard core ideologues.
