In the last few days, the president fell asleep at the pope’s funeral, said he wasn’t making decisions in the White House and fell for an obvious photoshop.Cool. Cool cool cool.

I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

i have somewhat jokingly come around to the idea that the acceptance of transness is a kind of sociological great filter. either society emerges out of it having abolished [the policing of] sex or it just collapses and leaves its people in a state of eternal paranoia and mass panic

He is just completely disconnected from the reality of how his policies impact average Americans, and he is surrounded my sycophants 24/7 who tell him that he’s the greatest, everything is perfect, and everyone loves him. He lives in a fantasy world.

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated?That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

None of the official ABC tweets or clips from the Trump interview tonight feature the most important clip of all: a demented Trump repeatedly and falsely claiming, and seeming bizarrely to believe, that Albrego Garcia literally had the letters and numbers MS13 on his knuckles.

A stark reminder of the power and discipline of rightwing messaging (propaganda) and the utter weakness and ineffectiveness of liberal messaging. More Americans now believe Trump won a bigger popular vote margin in 2024 than Biden won in 2020 (he didn’t of course).

They want jack booted thugs to go in and terrorize children. It normalizes the government coming in and arbitrarily detaining people so they can move to targeting the children of political dissidents without resistance.

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.
