I guess he doesn’t disagree about the Saddam Hussein part?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

The POTUS, who almost certainly ordered his lickspittle at DOJ to indict Comey for "mishandling natl security information," is the same traitor who absconded with PALLETS of boxes of top secret documents that he stored at his shitty wedding venue—probably b/c it was easier to sell them from there.

TY Greg for always calling out these traitors. I was yelling after 1/6/21: "the traitors are all-in / let traitors slide & we seal our doom." I'm glad to see others, incl @harrylitman.bsky.social & @timothysnyder.bsky.social saying we must have (last chance) accountability, for these traitors to USA

"When we do have traitors, like I said, it’s usually something quiet, it’s something in the shadows, it’s something in the background. It’s not the freaking president and the wealthiest man in the country joining forces to fuck us all." Full ramble here: gregolear.substack.com/p/an-unfatho...

In the official story, when she first came to the US, Melania lived in an apartment at the Zeckendorf Towers that Paolo Zampolli owned. When exactly did she live on Varick Street?

Greg Olear@gregolear.bsky.social

Guys, Paolo may have been lying. Huh.

"...The evidence, much of it still hiding behind redactions in DOJ vaults, shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club and strongly suggests that Epstein introduced Trump to his wife Melania.

"Above all, the actual evidence we have seen—as shared in the accounts and stories of 11 women, each described below—indicates that Trump abused, assaulted, and even raped numerous women alongside, and in coordination with, the most infamous sex trafficker in history."

"The record shows that Epstein and Trump, working with other predators like Paolo Zampolli and John Casablancas, exploited the thin veneer of professionalism offered by the 1990s modeling industry to lure victims into their orbit...."

I would encourage anyone who is interested in East of Eden, the book or the TV series, to read Olear’s insightful piece on Prevail.

Greg Olear@gregolear.bsky.social

It is left to Zoe Kazan—Elia’s granddaughter, better known heretofore as an actress than a writer—to deliver us an apotheosis. Her limited series is an unequivocal masterpiece—"East of Eden" in its highest and most sublime form. gregolear.substack.com/p/sunday-pag...

These amoral traitors sold their souls to Satan and are now bitching that Satan didn't keep his word. Fuck off, Dustin. Take your nine-iron and (metaphorically) shove it up your ass.

russia is about to use a humanitarian crisis it CAUSED as a PR stunt. Vital to remember that people are still in Oleshky because russia held them hostage as human shields. Putin will try rewrite history & pretend he cares about saving lives. But russia caused this.

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

Fifteen minutes. This is going to be a good show. I can feel it in my bones. Come join us.

My second novel is about a day in the life of a stay-at-home dad. It all takes place on that one day: October 23, 2008. Happy FATHERMUCKER day to all who celebrate!

If you're going to give us a documentary about a closeted gay Republican Senator who passed away this year, at least make it about Mitch McConnell.

I know I use the word “traitor” a lot, and it feels inadequate to describe what Hegseth has done. He is an abomination.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

NEW: Hegseth's chaotic secret evacuation of a US base in Bahrain left military families in harm's way. “They’re not telling the truth. They’re not telling the full story. They’re not telling how much damage there really was." www.ms.now/news/militar...

"What's the point of writing about national security—or, for that matter, of having a national security apparatus at all—if the men in those jobs (it’s mostly men who fucked this up) can’t spot the most obvious domestic threat to U.S. national security since the bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1861?"

“We were micro-targeted and spam-botted, but-her-email’d and Comey-memo’d into installing a Russian mole in the White House, while our national security experts—the journalists & academics, intel professionals & advisors—dismissed the threat entirely or, at least, did not take it seriously enough.”

He likes men’s butts and their private parts Jon Husted’s and Jaxson Dart’s. He likes those guys with tree-trunk thighs And gorgeous deep blue eyes. He goes wild For a shake like Kelis. Natalie gets jealous. [animation & Trump voice by @chunklz.bsky.social]

The FBI Director, a disgusting traitor who was appointed by and works for a longtime Kremlin asset, is attempting to troll us…by referencing a James Bond book about a Russian honeypot.

Hey radical left, Its a very low level of help that Russia and China are supplying to KILL American service members. WTF are we doing. #overthrow

Note: the same people who are cool with Trump’s intimate connection to the most notorious child sex traffickers in recent memory think that seeking treatment for mental health issues is wrong, bad, disqualifying, or scandalous. It’s a lie, but even if it wasn’t, it shouldn’t be stigmatized.

This David Brooks?

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this
