trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Trump surrounds himself with those who flatter him in places where he is comfortable.

Thanks to Trump's pardons, the GOP is the party of terrorists, drug dealers and child rapists.

The reason why I detest AIPAC is that they convinced the world that any mention of Netanyahu or Genocide is antisemitic . They have decided that any dissent about murdering Palestinians is antisemitic.
It is not antisemitic to want a country to stop killing children or wanting Netanyahu arrested.

One Afghan immigrant shoots two National Guard members, MAGA insists that all immigration from "Third World" (Read: Brown countries) is immediately and permanently halted.
Young white American males gun down dozens of school children each year, MAGA insists we make it easier for them to get guns.

Catapult the rich. No ceiling.
The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

Funny seeing AI "artists" try and assert copyright claim over their original prompts. The slop spat out by the lying machine is built entirely on plagiarism but sure the brainfart that went into telling it what to excrete is somehow original and worth protecting.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.
