Trump’s second term is all about being fairly blamed for things that Presidents are usually unfairly blamed for.

He’s going to have to switch to throwing mustard at the wall

Non evil person living a long life signal boost

I think it’s worth considering all the other things he’s bragged about if he is bragging about this

This is why ultimately I think Claude is the only AI model that survives at scale. big companies will shell out for a Claude license to do coding/cybersecurity stuff and basically no one else will be willing to pay for anything else

“the democrat play like Trump but use it to help people and not cause disasters” would be the absolute nightmare scenario for them

Virginia is for fighters now, apparently

I believe his high floor can break and look to that cost of living number for how low it could potentially break

historians will discuss how trump’s origins in reality tv and the idea of having a public brand/persona contributed to everyone accepting this as merely a populist flavor of political speech when in fact this is just how he talks due to almost 2 decades of gradually deteriorating mental health

One of the most underrated and devastating counters to online extremism is just being a normie and asking questions

This is my view 1000% That and there is wayyy wayyyy less friction to buy things and you are being served ads for those things on an almost subliminal level every waking hour

You can’t block the strait of Hormuz, I blocked it first

This is, IMO, why Trump usually picks deeply flawed and compromised people to staff his administration. He likes to have a clear line of attack for if/when they abandon him.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Yeah, well it's not so great down here either, ABC News.

You are a senator.

I’m in between the mtsw “they like Trump and want him to win” understanding of the msm and the ”they are hyper tuned to the anxieties of media literate liberals only and program to engage those anxieties“- but either way those 2 understandings are not mutually exclusive and functionally the same

I think one of the things about bluesky is that for a lot of its users, it represents a kind of retirement from social media. Like I’m tired and I want to get out of the game

I think the O/G thing is actually a singular Trump trait as the rare American who is simultaneously 1) too cognitively stunted to learn anything and 2) born too rich to have ever had to buy gas for himself before in his life

"But they don't have the votes for impeachment so you can't criticize them for not saying it" is fallacious. Dems don't have the votes to do anything. Even post-midterms, they still wouldn't have the votes to override vetoes, either. It's nonsensical to say they therefore shouldn't advocate stuff.

Questions swirl around the cognitive capacity of Georgia Waffle House patrons.

also it is particularly fitting that trump has finally succeeded in proving that tariffs can fund a country, only for that country to be iran

the president’s Alma Mater doing some great research on being gaslit by a bullshit machine

I just think at least 2 of these justices are operating on the same level as the people who post AI pictures of a bunch of white people drinking soda on Main Street with the caption “we need to return to this.” Nostalgia for an imagined past infects the conservative movement on every level.

your grandparents voting for reagan

I sometimes cynically think these people enter a primary not to win but to be the other half of a wedge issue/legitimize republican framings

Ohh, so RFK is a *liar* liar

If I had time money and talent I’d try to get some mark rober like YouTube guy to rig up a remote control speedboat with cameras and mannequins and big bags filled with straw and pilot it across the Caribbean just to see if our government will blow it up

It really is always “break a thing that has been working reliably for decades, patch the thing up best they can with duct tape, declare victory”
