Rapist mindset

Trump: "He said, 'Why does he keep calling me Muhammed? I said, you know why? Because I'm president of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want."

Dan Kober reposted

When I got clean bills of health about my heart and about my guts they said “keep doing what you’re doing” and I know what they meant but it’s bad advice

“…Trump would choose abuser over abused because he would not ever want to be confused for the weaker half of any binary. Trump would identify, instantly and instinctively, with the person doing the most harm, because they would seem to him to be winning.”

Fellas, is it gay to fantasize about testosterone fueled cowboys being on top?

Hegseth: "The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in, with testosterone testing on top."

“In addition, giraffes are now tall horses. Because that’s what they are. They’re just tall horses. Everybody knows it, they just don’t say it. I’m not afraid to say these things. And those so-called capybaras will be known as ultimate guinea pigs.”

Trump: "We're gonna be signing a document today renaming artificial intelligence, because it's not artificial. We're gonna be naming it Super Intelligence. Officially renaming it."

It’s somehow more depressing that our constitutional order is being dismantled by people who demonstrably cannot find their own asses with both hands.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

"Normalizing." My God. That bus went years ago. He's President until he's not, and he must be dealt with on that score. You want to know what Mamdani gained? I'll tell you: One extra federal dollar is a success; he keeps the wolves from the door; and most important, he humiliates his critics.

Opinionated Terran@opinionated-terran.bsky.social

So...aside from normalizing Trump further, and letting him spout insanity while Mamdani stood silently, what did Mamdani gain? Is your claim that Trump is going to spend federal dollars to build housing in NYC?

We're going to bomb the bond market? This dude's brain is pudding, man.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

The Verge@theverge.com

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

the president is lying again he lies every day, constantly, about everything, and he makes us listen to his lies, and I am very tired of them

Trump’s brain treats prepositions like a drawing for a 50/50 raffle. It reaches into a hat and just says whatever word his weird hand plucks out.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We should be in my opinion at $2.25 right now at the pump. And we're higher than that. We are doing a big investigation on it."

this website wrote hundreds of poems that ended on “Knicks in five” so this just can’t be true

RFK Jr: Kids with autism will never hold a job. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.

1/ Five cases of New World screwworm have now been confirmed in the U.S., Texas has declared an emergency, and Canada immediately restricted livestock imports. Most people had never heard of screwworm until last week (or maybe just now). That's because we eradicated it from the U.S. in 1966.🧵

It’s sort of upsetting that the clearest, most obvious social message is coming from goddamn Texas.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Replying to @jamellebouie.net

it bolsters talarico’s own persona and it allows him to say things like “weak men lie to you, they steal from you, they cheat you.” put that over a montage of paxton being a scumbag and baby you got a stew going

Hunter Biden spending his whole day every day on Twitter being like "I'm not a pedophile, I was smoking crack with ADULT hookers at the Super 8 outside of Newark, you guys have pictures of all of it INCLUDING my hog from My Leaked Stolen Laptop™" is a masterstroke. Should've done this years ago.

Has anyone done a real deep dive about the parallels between this and, like, the Romans organizing a bunch of gladiatorial spectacles in honor of Caesar or am I just a horrible Student Of History and seeing parallels where they don’t exist?

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

As I told a reporter last week, nearly all convocation brouhahas boil down to a single issue: Students, even normie non-radical students, rightly understand graduation as a day that is for them, and about them, and which belongs to them. You fuck with that at your peril.

Sir, another graduation ceremony in which the students booed AI has dropped. "College graduates were pissed after their school used AI to announce graduates’ names and missed hundreds of names" (via @/FearedBuck on Twitter)

Look if you've got a better way to run a country than "putting an illiterate octogenarian bigot on TV every few days to free associate and complain, and then everyone tries to figure out if it means we're about to start a war or not" I'd love to hear it. But the constitution says this is it.

All cars have, like, blind spots. But for it to be able to encompass an entire-ass vehicle that’s.. in front of you…?

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social

Our society has a massive blind spot when it comes to how dangerous these giant trucks and SUVs are to everyone outside of them.

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

“This was not a disease that was killing healthy people. It was killing sick people”. RFK Jr. lying about the COVID19 pandemic.
