Whether it’s Donald Trump asking his budget director to use taxpayer money for TV ads praising him and his presidency or Barack Obama asking for Dijon mustard on his hamburger, both men have made unusual requests

'They’ll be hit very hard': Trump sends roughly 9,000 troops and a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East after warning strikes on Iran | Fortune
Trump has threatened that a post-midterm election escalation—despite his initial promises to Americans of a campaign that would last a matter of weeks—remains a viable option.

When you intended to do a racism but you accidentally did a sundowning instead
Trump: "The greatest ballroom ever built -- it's also a tremendous military complex with a drone port on top. Be careful. Don't fall over the edge. And only a Hispanic could survive that fall."

Hey BlueSky I know you're all in a constant battle to convince each other you're the MOST progressive person on BlueSky, but virtue signaling like this is no better than MAGA.
Is the prevailing viewpoint on this website that Democratic socialism is the future?

Katy Tur is Katy Turing SO HARD right now.
She's interviewing Rahm Emanuel.
A great reminder that I should go back to work, and not waste a second more watching MSNOW.
Thanks Katy Tur, you're making me more productive directly through your awfulness!
Oh special thanks to Tur's producers too, THANKS!

This clip is a perfect encapsulation of MAGA Republicans/MAGA voters.
They take a fact, like Smith going to an Iowa Hawkeyes game, and try to conflate/lie about it, and then introduce this narrative that starts unraveling the second Schmitt tries to lay it out.
What an embarrassing political party.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡
Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong.
Here's the whole sequence:

It's hard to have sympathy for people who voted for Trump and now say, "I didn't know what he was going to do. I didn't vote for this."
Yes, you did. Trump told you what he was going to do. We told you what he was going to do. Everyone told you what he was going to do.
You didn't listen.

Being "disrespectful" means asking the President difficult questions, questions with answers that incriminate the President 100 different ways if answered truthfully.
So that's why they demonize the press.
Best to attack the messenger rather than the message.

Jim Sciutto‘s guest tonight implied that reporters needed to “respect the office of the presidency.” I’ve not seen disrespectful reporters. Trump tells them to shut up piggy…accuses them of “fake news.” He’s abusive and a bully.

Don't let his feigned self-righteousness fool you. Trump, et. al., are trying to undermine Obamacare so that they can bankrupt it. They're counting on us having zero knowledge of the profoundly basic principle on which all insurance works.
Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."
