Umm...troops shouldn't be patrolling the streets and beating up gangs.

Trump: "Now our soldiers are allowed to be strong people ... they are the best looking people you've ever seen. And they stand in the streets. And they walk up to a gang and they beat the shit out of them."

Sorry, but I'm too busy to go bowling. How about we head to the bowling alley and just roll some balls down the lane to see if we can knock those pins down instead?

Weird exchange about Trump's "golfing" here 👇 Q: Who did you play golf with today? TRUMP: Ahh, just a couple of professionals Q: Which pros? TRUMP: I didn't play. I just hit balls for an hour. I wasn't in the mood to play. Q: Why not? TRUMP: Because I'm too busy

Not nothing to do. They could be reassessing their choices in life that brought them to spending an hour waiting for a Trump speech of all things.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ashley Hinson's speech warming up for Trump at his rally in Iowa ended TWO HOURS AGO. Trump is more than an hour late. His fans have been standing around forever with nothing to do.

Hegseth’s staff broke Eisenhower’s globe. The symbolism is too much to bear. (And of course, they ignored the TRAINED EXPERTS WHO HANDLE HISTORICAL ITEMS. Because EDUCATION? EXPERTISE? WHO NEEDS IT?….im going to get some coffee…)

Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social

"Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by curators. Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They dropped it...The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide." wapo.st/3WF2YQo

wapo.stHegseth wanted Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it.Photos obtained by The Post show a gash in the World War II-era artifact that resulted from a botched relocation attempt inside the Pentagon.

Look, when I said "No Kings" that included fucking DraftKings.

Oliver Darcy@oliverdarcy.bsky.social

Scoop from @brettlogiurato.bsky.social: CBS has sold its local election night coverage to DraftKings, stirring more controversy inside the David Ellison-owned company. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-draftk...

I'd say the damage was done by the likes of PSA ruining second-hand markets.

IGN@ign.com

Hundreds of PSA-graded trading cards worth more than $100,000 were reportedly stolen from a FedEx truck over the weekend, leaving collectors distraught — and the damage is still being calculated. https://bit.ly/4dQo9ot

There's only one deal Russia deserves: Get the fuck out of Ukraine and Ukraine will gladly stop exploding bits of Russia.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "My decision on Russia is simple... Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help Iran, compared to what they could be doing ... Zelenskyy is using refineries as a target, knowing attacks are seriously hurting ... He could have made better deal 2 years ago. His country is in shambles ..."

Might want to put some blame on Putin for that one.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I watched an interview of a young woman the other day from Ukraine. And she said, 'President Zelenskyy has destroyed our country. President Zelenskyy has taken our men away from us. Our men have no legs, no arms. Our men in many cases in mental institutions or they're dead.'"

Its a shame "class action slander" isn't a thing.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Sure would be nice to have a press willing to say "What the fuck are you talking about, man?"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump's brain is busted: "You couldn't vote. They wouldn't let you vote. And they grabbed her and they said 'you'll vote over here,' and they took her to a Democrat area. She voted. She came back. You couldn't vote. They came back late in the night."

Why toilet paper? Weird idea of conference-room camouflage. An OpenAI engineer allegedly hid a mic wrapped in toilet paper in a room used for top-secret meetings. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/saud...

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

If there's a sequel, it needs to end up with half a dozen different re-releases.

IGN@ign.com

Street Fighter film director Kitao Sakurai has confirmed that he's already laying the groundwork for a sequel, but whether or not it gets made will depend on the first movie's performance in theaters when it releases October 16. https://bit.ly/4AVy6Le

No more lasers, phasers, or ray guns. Use only conventional weapons to blow up Russian oil refineries, please.

I thought she was a poor candidate when I saw her ad was basically "Vote for me! I'm a doctor!", but I'm still disappointed to find out just how bad she is. I'll vote for the sake of a Dem majority in the Senate, but I expect little good from her personally in office.

State-produced snuff films. Definitely a sign things are going well for a country. Not only do these people need to be voted out, but there needs to be accountability for each of them afterwards.

In Musk's case: 1. No 2. Fuck no

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: You mentioned you want people like Elon Musk to come here, but he didn't build his companies overnight. So how do you decide who is the next Elon Musk? VANCE: One, does the person fill a position that simply cannot be filled by an American worker? Two, is this person a truly elite human being?

I imagine history lessons decades from now will have numerous moments of students saying "Oh, come on. You're making this up!"

Sometimes I think about how the last ten years started as a publicity stunt for a fading reality show that went sideways.
