The mother is, at a minimum, an accomplice to child rape and interstate flight … if we’re debating credibility and character … and of course Washington Post gave up counting HIS lies after 30,573 in just 4 years (21 lies per day). The record is clear about the conduct the aid disputes. He is wrong.
Trump: "This is a disgrace. The mother said that Amy Acton is a liar and she's no good. And you know what? I don't think you can get a better reference than that."

"The abuser said very bad things about the victim. I think you have to take that seriously." - a serial felon
Q: Amy Acton's mother has not cared for her in about 50 years after her step dad was indicted for raping her. Why should anymore listen to what the mother says? TRUMP: Well, I know nothing about it. All I know is the mother said very bad things about Acton. I think you have to take that seriously.

Immigrants are slow roasting our cats ON DELUXE LUXURY GRILLS in their SUBURBAN MANSIONS while Stephen Miller has to eat them RAW in the back of a VAN.
They're weirdly pressing two kinds of white supremacist lies at once -- some non-white immigrants are poverty-wracked criminals who are eating our dogs and cats, but other non-white immigrants are rich elites who are buying up mansions and flying first class. Pick a fucking lane, you clowns.

Across the country, hospitals under financial strain are shuttering their delivery units, putting expectant mothers at greater risk. As Trump’s cuts to Medicaid take effect, these “maternity care deserts” will only grow. newrepublic.com/article/2166...

Quoting Trump's social media post of today, Judge Reyes orders govt to explain by 8pm whether it still takes the positions it took 2 days ago. Also orders Associate AG Stan Woodward to attend hearing tomorrow.
12-days in the suit to stop Trump from converting a historic DC golf course, open to all, to a Trump-style championship course. 2 days ago, DOJ attys called Trump's plan "nascent." Today Trump launched his plan & said the existing course closes on 11/15.

Most people are incentivized towards competence as a means of improving their material conditions, but the wealthy aren't. Their incentives are entirely emotional: status preservation, positional dominance, alleviating boredom, etc. It's no surprise they typically regress into spoiled children.
We've lived for so long with this mythology that sure, the wealthy can be cruel. But at least the cruelty has a point. Profit! I'd like us to open our hearts to other possibilities. Power doesn't just corrupt! It can also breed truly reality-distorting levels of incompetence.

For decades, the Middle East rested on a deal. US provides: security, air defense, relative stability, deter Iran, help autocrats stay in power Saudis and other Gulf Arab states provide: basing rights, cooperation on counterterrorism, smooth flow of oil Trump broke that. And it's not coming back.

He said he was going to re-write History and this is another thing from our culture he's planning to erase exactly like the East Wing of the Whitehouse..this is Project 2025
. "President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the Kennedy Center could be "ripped down" if his administration doesn't receive recognition." In his latest egoist tantrum, the vandal says he will destroy yet another wonderful example of American greatness. The idiot child needs a firmer hand. .

I remember many years ago reading about various views on how the Executive power should be wielded by a committee elected congress for a single term. It would have been a very weak Executive. I thought it was silly. Now I’m pretty sure the proponents knew better than most.
