Donald Trump is the Spirit Airlines of presidents ...
Today, over on Twitter/X, MAGA types are yelling about election criminal Tina Peters and arguing about Candace Owens and Erika Kirk.

Today, here on Bluesky, liberals are castigating Mark Cuban and an Atlantic writer they couldn't pick out of a crowd.

As Sterling Archer once said, potato, po-dildo.

Astounding story, not because it happened, but because Trump World listens to/works with Posobiec.

After all, he's the guy who stoked the Pizzagate fantasy--and the Trump Administration has fought tooth and nail to protect whatever is in the Epstein files.

I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

Except when you're on Twitter/X trying to read Pete Alonzo crash out posts, you also see a bazillion posts from MAGAts taking sides between Candace Owens and Erika Kirk.

I mean, goodbye, Pete Alonzo, very best of luck.

Elon? Rot in hell where the devil pays you $1 billion to front his product.
I get that people on here think Elon is evil and they can't be on Twitter because of it, but my god the crash outs you're missing because Pete Alonso isn't a Met anymore.

This app couldn't. It would literally never.

Where did we finish last year with Edwin Diaz, Pete Alonzo and Brandon Nimmo?

Out of the playoffs.

Well, we can finish out of the playoffs without you ...
Last year we had Edwin Diaz, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo today we have no diaz, no alonso, no nimmo wait this isnt how this joke works ah fu

Sabrina Carpenter and publisher of Franklin the Turtle are going about this the wrong way.

When Trump and his oily minions use intellectual property without permission, sue their asses. Demand billions and paper the courts with lawsuits.

Don't complain or demand apologies.

I'm cynical enough to believe Hegseth can get away with war crimes against drug traffickers.

All he needs do is show evidence that the attacks targeted narco boats and most Americans would ignore the legalities.

Yet Hegseth won't show any evidence.

Conclusion: the boats weren't running drugs.

How warped are these MAGA-adjacent types?

@robbysoave.bsky.social thinks the foreign bots at X posting pro-MAGA crap are actually secret anti-MAGA operatives.

Makes sense in their world, which is full of Jewish space lasers and left-wing cabals at Astro Pizza

I know GOP and dinosaur wing of NY Democratic Party demonized Mamdami for his "free buses" idea.

But the concept of free transit in New York isn't new. In 1971, then-Bronx Boro President Robert Abrams wanted free subways. He urged $3-a-head payroll tax because he feared fares would rise to 50 cents

So what did the Democrats learn yesterday?

Talking about "income inequality" and "economic justice" is "woke" and puts Trump and a bunch of MAGA creeps in power.

Talking about "affordability" gets Democrats elected ...
