Yes! A black female pilot!💃 He may have had a tea spill, too😎

And I always hope for a black female pilot. Because statistically they never crashed into a mountain!

😂😂😂😂

If he genuinely believes these falsehoods about reality, he’s not really the one that should have our nuclear codes, AIR?

I think you need to ask yourself if this is the sort of human who should be leading anyone or anything in a world where hard truths are going to always exist, with or without him pointing them out. Pointing out problems is easy - developing solutions, not so much.

As always with Trump, there’s a degree of hard truths in what he says. His bombing of drug boats, deporting of migrants, twisting arms of partners, undoubtedly are bringing some short term results. But, it’s outlaw justice. Is it sustainable? If everyone pursues this path, we all descend into chaos.

The ultimate irony is that after trashing Biden, he celebrated that America was now respected around the world, no longer a laughing stock. He genuinely doesn’t see how absurd he sounds. His ego is so vast he cannot conceive that the world is laughing at him. 🧵

I think he genuinely believes he’s giving Europeans good advice; genuinely believes he’s doing them a favour. He genuinely thought he could stop the war in Ukraine by talking to Putin. He genuinely believes he’s right about everything and is the greatest. 🧵

His vision is a dog eat dog world; every nation for itself; might is right; he’s sorry for people in need or suffering “but let them fix problems in their own country, not create new ones in our country.” No sense of common humanity. It’s all about being richer, stronger, tougher than the next guy 🧵

His solution is not to work harder to uphold international rules, support UN efforts, build better m institutions- but for every country to put their interests first, damn the consequences for anyone else. He sees Europe as mugs for trying to adhere to standards. 🧵

(Don’t shoot me for saying this…read my 🧵 to the end) some of his points on immigration, the cost of renewables, European countries obeying rules and being ripped off by others, hypocrisy in buying Russian oil, and UN’s ineffectiveness were not entirely unjustified. HOWEVER….🧵

Well, I made myself listen to Trump’s speech in full. While full of boasts, distortions, disgusting attacks on Biden, weird asides about the mayor of London, National Guard in DC, his MAGA hat, and unsubtle hints about wanting the peace prize - there WERE some hard uncomfortable points there too 🧵

If people who know their history keep comparing you to Nazis, the fault is not with the people making the comparisons.

Nexstar and Sinclair, which own a combined 20% of local ABC affiliates, will still not broadcast Jimmy Kimmel. Sinclair is a conservative company that donates to and supports right-wing causes.

Great Pack, my friend!! I appreciate the inclusion!!💙🤗☘️

Red room.. #oilpainting #art

I'm alarmed by reports that the Department of Defense is delaying cleanup of PFAS contamination at nearly 140 military installations. Addressing contamination—including at the former Pease Air Force Base—is a top concern for NH communities, and the public deserves answers.

Grindr was apparently having issues with staying up due to overwhelming demand for its services in the Phoenix metropolitan area this last weekend.

Kamala Harris is on Rachel Maddow's show right now. How did our country choose a criminal tyrant wannabe dictator over a highly competent legislator and leader? It boggles the mind. Regardless of any disagreement with Harris's background or platform, we would have been so much better off right now.

Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…

The love affair continues …

True this!

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of Terry Pratchett's The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (Discworld Book 28), which I *have* and *have read* and *have loved*, and have given out before. This is pterry's take on the Pied Piper. #KindleBookGiveaway

I *knew* that was you! Thanks so much! 😽

Hilarious.

The country is basically three scams in a trenchcoat at this point.

I had the pear dream again

i had to feed kitty (her rag doll sister in my room)

this is by far the most underwhelming rapture I’ve ever experienced

See, my prayers have already been answered. Don’t let the bastards grind you down cause it’s gonna be so much fun to which them self destruct.

NEW: Kimmel back on the air, or is he? Lindsey Halligan has a week to indict Jim Comey on vibes. The Supreme Court bucks 90 years of precedent. And a win for voting rights in Arizona. All the news that's fit to swear about: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Boarding a plane to NY and the old white guy in front of me said to the attendant, ‘I hope there’s not a female pilot’, and I’ve never been more disappointed that the rapture didn’t actually happen.

😂

🎉Most #Florida Award 🥳 it’s a 3-way tie between Judge Cannon, Ryan Routh, & his pen. 🦩🏆🖊️

Not surprised that Ryan Routh was convicted. BUT, it occurred to me that Judge Aileen Canon, known as a judicial partisan for Trump, may not have made a sufficient "searching inquiry" before letting Routh represent himself, which may require reversal. Faretta v. California402 U.S. 806 (1975)

Ryan Routh, today found guilty of assassination attempt on Trump last year, then tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen. Florida courts allowed him to represent himself at that trial ... ... because in that state he seems pretty normal.

Here's the verdict sheet for Ryan Routh, Trump's would-be assassin, who was found guilty of all charges.

Ryan Routh, mentally disturbed, now convicted of the attempted assassination of Trump, was a 2016 MAGA voter. MAGA wants so badly for a competent moderate lefty (preferably a uni professor) to get killed trying to assassinate Trump. Their own would do the deed long before that.

A federal jury found Ryan Routh guilty on all 5 charges for attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course in September 2024. After the verdict, Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen but was restrained. Sentencing set for December 18.

Ryan Routh attempts to stab himself in the neck with a pen after guilty verdict.

Ryan Routh is a typical lunatic MAGA.

FACT-CHECK: This is Eric Adams in his Purim costume as a Torah scroll

what are the odds he has "Mayor Eric Adams" embroidered on there somewhere

Kimmel is back, but many Americans won’t be able to watch. Two companies — Nexstar and Sinclair — control hundreds of local TV stations and have business deals pending Donald Trump’s approval. They won’t air Kimmel tonight. I’m pressing for answers on potential corruption.

If Disney had any balls, and just a bit of integrity, they’d tell Nexstar to pound salt, and then pull the ABC broadcast rights from them.

Epstein - Barr virus Jeffrey Epstein was hired by Bill Barr's father for Dalton School. Which gave him access to children.

This statue of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein appeared on the National Mall this morning. .

A spray-painted bronze statue titled “Best Friends Forever” showing Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was placed on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol early Tuesday.

Trump knew Alex Acosta gave his buddy Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal that let him keep abusing women & children. And then, out of all the Republicans on the planet, Trump made Acosta his Labor Secretary. Why? #releasethefiles
