Dr. John Gartner, a former Johns Hopkins assistant professor, warned President Donald Trump is the sickest individual he has encountered in 40 years of clinical practice, displaying extreme symptoms suggesting dementia combined with malignant narcissism and sadism.

What is the character limit in Bluesky? I think it’s much shorter than Facebook. I am sure there is an argument to be made in favor of that, but from my perspective, it is a significant deficiency in this platform.!

This week, he bragged that ONLY 18 service members have died so far in his war, he then lied and said the 4 who died over the weekend all told him Iran must never have a nuke, and then he lowered the number of casualties to 14 to make himself look better.

Trump is an evil sociopath.

I would never eat dinner with Donald Trump. I would never clap or laugh at his jokes. I would never shake his hand. When he attacks me, I wear his scorn as a badge of honor.

A federal judge just ordered the National Park Service to put back every sign, display, and exhibit pulled under Trump’s “restore truth” order.

Judge Angel Kelly just told Trump: you don’t get to rewrite American history. You have 21 days.

I do not like platforms that have such a restrictive number of words you can put in a post. Seems pointless. Also, almost nobody I know is here or if they are I can’t find them. It’s just the same small handful of prominent people whose posts I see.

Jay Clayton has shown that he is willing to spread baseless lies about voting in order to curry favor with Trump. Whether he is a committed election denier or merely an opportunist is not for me to judge — and, in any case, it is beside the point. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...
How to get a job in Trump's Washington: Lie about elections on cable TV
If Clayton wanted the job, it seems clear that he had to demonstrate loyalty on the one issue Trump cares about most: lying about voting and elections.
