That’s OUR money that he originally said he wasn’t going to use. He’s stealing from us for these ridiculous renovations that are not needed. He’s a crook.

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

the DOJ is basically acting as if the president’s delusions are true

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

Brazil rejected Bolsonaro. Serbia's students beat Vučić. Machado is home in Venezuela. What a day for democracy.

NEW: DOJ just admitted in court that their lawsuit against California is not about outcome determinative issues, it's simply saying that a single non-citizen voting causes the government irreparable harm. That's bananapants.

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

The MAGA regime is now suing the state of Alaska to force them to completely ignore election results if the fascist Republican incumbent loses his re-election. I don’t know about you, but that looks like a big ole’ election rigging crime to me.

The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

(🚨) MAGA Pedophilia Scandal Grows: Turning Point USA Says No One in MAGA "Movement" Cares If Top MAGA Senator Was a Pedophile I'm going to say it again—the Republican Party has become a pro-Kremlin, pro-pedophilia cult. It must be removed from power at all levels of government.

In a way though he is right. Donald Trump hates the idea that anyone else might enrich themselves. But if he does it, it’s just fine.

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

So, this is just a way for him to funnel money to people he likes, for whatever reason he decides, whenever he wants. Yeah, sounds totally on-brand for a criminal. Just someone else that he can bribe people with and buy what he wants. Jesus fucking christ, this needs to stop.

Trump: "Sometimes there's a dispute about who turned them in and who is supposed to get what and when. So I am going to do something which I think people will like - I will be the arbitrator of all of these decisions. I'll determine whether the person is deserving ... there's nothing in this for me"

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

His bizarre fixation on this fantasy is disturbing. He's demented, and clearly mentally incompetent. This is a gross view into his sick mind.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "The absolute mutilization of your children, where your son Timmy comes up five days later as Sarah, and you don't even know about it. Nobody can believe that's this country."

It will be sentient? Bwaahahahahahahah.. Elon is just a huckster. And a stupid one, at that.

Tesla had to acknowledge that the power conversion system in 2024 and 2025 Cybertrucks was defective, causing owners to lose home charging while they also dealt with water leaks. Excuse me if I'm skeptical of the sentient Hot Wheels Roadster update.

You have to be deeply dishonest or genuinely stupid (or both) to think the Epstein files don't incriminate Donald Trump, given the lengths he has gone to conceal them.

“ that they shouldn’t be having”? What the fuck is he talking about? This is surreal and weird and he is very very obviously mentally unwell.

Trump giving makeup tutorials wasn’t on my bingo card. “I wear very little and do it myself”Congratulations, Donald. Between the orange foundation, mysterious hair architecture, and “Yaaaaaaaaahhhh,” we’ve officially reached the point where a presidential speech sounds like a rejected SNL sketch.

He has nothing but contempt for the people he’s talking to. Even though he doesn’t even bother to try & hide it anymore, they are so deep in the cult that some still don’t get it while others do but enjoy being treated like something unpleasant on his shoe that he stepped on bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump on what his fans could do with their $5k Trump check: "Let's go to Palm Beach and enjoy the president for lunch. Let's have lunch at Mar-a-Lago, where for $5,000 you'll get one hamburger and a small dessert."

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Bro, if your doctor is doing a cognitive test every time you get a physical, there’s a reason for that, and it’s not because you keep acing them.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I'm the only one that took the test -- the aptitude test or whatever. Every time I do a physical, I do a mental test. And I aced it. Where's my doctor? I travel w/ more doctors than any human being. If people get sick in the audience, they leave them alone. They call them collateral damage."

"I intentionally call him by the wrong name because it just sounds more racist, see?"

Trump: "I call him Mohammad Al-Fayed. His name is Abdul, but I call him Mohammad Abdul Al-Sayed."

You'd think someone who was a "lawyer" would know that no, you cannot 'call yourself a lawyer' if you haven't passed the bar. Having a JD is not enough. Calling yourself a lawyer when you're not licensed to be one is...wait for it...illegal.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Zacharia: "A lot of the misinformation, miscommunication is around the fact that I labeled myself a lawyer. I consulted for a long time many people in the field -- 'Is it ok if I label myself a lawyer?' -- and they said, 'Absolutely. You can call yourself a lawyer. You have a JD'"

REMINDER: When Biden left office inflation was 2.9%. Now it's 3.7%. When Biden left office gas was $3.10 per gallon --now it's $4.33. When Biden left office Diesel was $3.63-- now it's $6.29. This is 100% TRUMPFLATION. Only people doing well now are Trump, his corrupt family and his oligarchs!

If this isn't out-and-out psychosis, I don't know what is.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Trump on why he disagrees with Sen. Sullivan calling Putin a dictator: “I have to make deals with people, so I don’t go around calling them names…I don’t go around mocking people. Part of the reason you have that war in the first place is Biden went around mocking Russia.”

Pretty simple rule: if you don't look like his daughter Ivanka and don't dress like you're trying to attract him and don't smile at him with your whole face whenever he's looking at you and even when he's *not* looking at you, you'll be fired. This is North Korean dictator shit.

Trump “was troubled that Guilfoyle was making money off his presidency,” the WSJ informs us, with the journalistic equivalent of a straight face.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

"Guilfoyle was scrambling to save her job ... when the Journal revealed texts showing she had solicited $100k from a Trump donor, Guilfoyle reached out to the WH to say the texts were AI generated. The officials didn’t believe her claims. Journal reporters verified the authenticity of the texts."
