- story leaks - White House calls it fake news - Trump confirms the initial story - White House pretends they never denied it - repeat

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

Truth bomb

Trump can’t even bring C+C music factory jobs back.

Trump's latest "deal" is that they begin negotiations? What a fucking joke.

OMG. Perfect.

newrepublic.com/post/207138/... This is not the first source to report on this. Be prepared.

The day I never hear his voice again or am aware of his stupid thoughts will truly be the best day of my life.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

Oh shit. Do eeet!

Yup.

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

Not so long ago, Donald Trump posted a picture of a bound & gagged President Biden in the back of a truck. Trump didn’t apologize & he didn’t take it down. I wrote about it here; the analysis stands up in light of the indictment of Jim Comey today. joycevance.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

If Republicans feel really strongly about getting taxpayers to pay for Trump's golden ballroom, they should go out there and hold some town halls with their constituents. They can bring photos of the chandeliers and maybe a sample of the marble for them to look at. I'm sure it'll be a big hit!

Over 50% of American adults can't read above a 6th grade reading level, and this is an absolutely catastrophic civil rights crisis with implications for every facet of individual and collective life, including processing political statements by politicians, doctors, and so on

She had that ready to deploy. Nice work. 😏

I'm just curious, for those who think the WHCD event was "staged", how _exactly_ would that work? Cole Allen decided to cooperate with it? He was forced into it? There is no Cole Allen? What exactly is the theory?

“Everybody needs to turn down the rhetoric.” -supporters of a guy who threatened to destroy an entire civilization of 90 million people

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Absolutely incredible. Also, imagine running a sub-2 marathon on your first attempt, and coming in 2nd.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Very serious point here — media vastly overreport what Trump says rather than clarifying for the reader the actual strategic situation.

The Anti-War President prepares to invade his third country and/or bomb his eleventh. In 15 months. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

I am a manager at a large tech company. I walk people into retirement fairly often. Sometimes, people decide to retire and *only then* look up their retirement benefits. We're talking 2-3 decade career people with advanced degrees. I have a good poker face but this blows me away.

Should be part of his next test.

HOWLING

The Viktor Orban landslide feels like watching global tsunami waters reach a peak and begin to recede. The costs will be incalculable from this temporary insanity, but I do think it's on its way out.

AN ALCOHOLIC TV TALKING HEAD RUNS OUR MILITARY, A FORMER HEROIN ADDICT IS IN CHARGE OF OUR HEALTH, AND THEY BOTH REPORT TO A CONVICTED FELON. SO HOW'S YOUR DAY GOING?

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

Genocide Joe, though, am I right?

Never forget that this was how The Washington Post greeted Pam Bondi's nomination. Support independent pro-democracy media. Support Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Pete Hegseth’s broker reportedly tried to make a multimillion-dollar investment in a fund of weapons stocks just weeks before Trump launched his war on Iran. Remember when even the appearance of corruption was enough to trigger a resignation? We must not become numb to this.

Hey Congress, Any President, regardless of political party, who threatens to order the United States Military to commit war crimes needs to be impeached immediately. If he does give these orders, he should be handed over to the International Criminal Court.

No, it won't change anyone's mind in the White House, in the House, or the Senate. Maybe we already know the blue states oppose him. Go anyway. Do it for yourself, if nothing else to feel that you aren't alone in your disgust and despair about the state of the nation.

Springsteen: Well, this past winter federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand.

Holy moly! Philly is showing up to march for No Kings!

Remember when the United States was so well put together that the biggest thing right wingers could find to be angry about was that M&Ms were being made less sexy? And they genuinely thought this was something to be upset about.

Straight Treasury looting.

Imagine living your life in such a state of total cowardice that you can't condemn this out of fear. Now imagine a party stacked with these trembling, tail tucking zeros of men and women at every position of importance. That's what we have.

Jerome Powell confirmed today that the causes of inflation and net zero job growth are Trump’s immigration policy, Trump’s tariffs, and Trump’s war in Iran.

What an insanely culty answer from the DNI.

The cowardly Republicans will do absolutely nothing to stop this maniac. Next week you're going to see Trump toadies saying it's always been obvious that Cuba was part of the US, they just didn't know it. Orwell style. Mark it down.

I was made aware recently that Trump's family pastor was the guy who wrote "The Power of Positive Thinking". And now I can't unsee it. It's in everything he says. "I'm the greatest, I can do no wrong, bad things are good, everything is mine, I will always win." www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

I just keep thinking about how Michelle Obama trying to get kids to eat their vegetables was treated like the end of America.
