"You don't turn the Titanic around overnight" has been really bugging me because a) yes you can and b) you definitely should, that was the main problem

Even for Texas, it's wild that this insanely corrupt wet noodle of a candidate is within the margin of error.

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

At this rate she’s not going to make it even one Scaramucci.

HANNITY: You said you consulted with people who advised you it was okay to call yourself a lawyer but not an attorney, correct? ZACHARIA: Correct HANNITY: There's a report out tonight showing 15 social media posts where you identify yourself as an attorney ZACHARIA: I think they were retweets

Seems like the secretary of health and human services should know how insurance works. Of course the president doesn't, but the people beneath him should at least know how the rubber hits the road.

RFK Jr announces a new initiative to kick people off their healthcare coverage but insists it's no big deal because "they don't even know they were enrolled in anything. They never make a claim."

Parents, if you have dropped off a kid named Jimmy in the morning and picked up a kid named Janet at the end of the school day, please return to the school: You've driven off with some other family's child.

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."

this is honestly one of the worst and most irresponsible things he has ever posted, and that's really saying something

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Trump tells the UN he is officially changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" and says all US government documents will now be changed to refer to "SI"

Turns out that my comment about Trump being stupid was far from unique, but it was definitely gratifying to see how many people read this and immediately thought: "What a fucking idiot."

Trump: “If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year. The word ‘Deficit’ is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS.”

Even before you consider that some of his dumb policies get implemented, it's incredibly demoralizing just that the president is this stupid.

This is Miyamoto. I am here to confirm that a new 3D Mario is in development, and I would like to personally apologize for not having anything to show for it at yesterday's Nintendo Direct. As you can see here- No wait, that's the wrong slide. Damn it. Nevermind, I didn't want to show it anyway.

"Doctors, lawyers and engineers" is an international online Nazi trope. The "joke" is that non-White people are too stupid to be anything other than a criminal or someone who leeches social services. Read a Spanish newspaper about Ceuta, e.g., and you'll see "médicos y ingenieros" in the comments.

This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.

Absolutely endorse this plan.

🧵You can't talk about Natalie Harp w/o talking about how strange she is. This isn't making fun of physique or bearing. It's about obsessive/creepy behavior. And it matters on policy. As a former Republican media consultant, I can tell you that this attack is astonishingly effective w/the public...

I usually try to explain it like this: picture Sigmund Freud as President Xi. Now imagine they're Yugoslavian. Doesn't look so much like the burning of the Library of Alexandria was caused by parents mocking Denmark now, does it?

Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."

As per the name, this was once a reddish state.

They force-feminized all the World Cup players and now it’s called the Girled Cup. They did this due to woke and gender. The sport is called footovary now too sorry. Girled Cup

I know there are many different things to run on, and we do hear about corruption, but as we head into the midterm Dems should be beating this drum every day, every hour. Massively playing up corruption has a long and storied history of getting the bums thrown out! And the Trumps are so, so corrupt.

When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried tamping down suspicions of cronyism. But interviews and records show the loan request was from Peter Navarro, a Trump adviser and crony www.propublica.org/article/dona...

propublica.orgThe White House Intervened to Get a $620 Million Deal for a Company Tied to Donald Trump Jr.About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company.

If these guys would just call America the hottest country in the world instead of this, they could probably squeeze another $25 billion out of President Deals.
