As for Trump, he is such a weird character, and so desperate to prove the lie that he's a self-made man and the most successful man in the world for his age, and he's constantly using his dad's money and lying about everything for his entire adult life. He's only becoming more himself as he ages.

It’s going to be wild when we can finally look back and trace all of these failures to a bottomless need to make his name synonymous with success.

The tarp is still up on the Kennedy center, isn't it? He's such a pathetic little crybaby.

on the next episode of Reflecting Pool: mosquitos

alright, who did this? #hatm

It is funny to me that by WOLF OF WALL STREET he has Di Caprio turning directly to camera and saying “I’m a huge piece of shit and my family hates me” and people are still like “this guy seems really cool”

He has dyed the reflecting pool green in honor of Islam per Iran's demands.

This is absolutely true.

The problem with Trump’s Iran war isn’t that he’s ending it. The problem is that he ever started it.

SEQUELS NOBODY WANTS FOR $2,000, ALEX. What is Return of the Fugitive Slave Act?

The Iranian news agency Mehr has been saying Iran gets $25 billion of impounded assets and the dropping of sanctions to make these negotiations happen. If they really get those, then any resumption of hostilities would involve the US somehow having even *less* leverage than now.

I keep thinking back not only to Trump's lifelong history of cheating on every deal he ever made, but especially to his surrender deal with the Taliban. He gave the Taliban everything they wanted, mostly postdated to early 2021, and got only a promise not to kill Americans before the 2020 elections.

Ever since Biden oversaw the completion of the deal Trump signed, Trump's insisted he intended to renege on that deal after the election. To be clear, after a year of Afghan authorities planning their escapes and making deals with the Taliban before the handover that would have failed disastrously.

Auschwitz was the first concentration camp established by the Germans after the outbreak of WW2 in occupied Poland. 14 June 1940 is considered the date of its creation, as on that day, the first Poles were deported there from Tarnów. Watch our "video history" episode: https://bit.ly/4e7Mzud

it will surprise you how often people believe the things they say they believe

A relative routinely sent letters to the Cedar Rapids Gazette about Hillary Clinton and her death squads so maybe dial it back a little more than that

Oh a woman who went to a 7 sisters has girlfriends? Likely story.

This ocean-monitoring system was built over the past decade, and planned for decades before that. It cost hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. And Trump is dismantling it. It's fucking obscene. It's the moral equivalent of shooting a missile to blow up the Hubble Space Telescope.

Please stop sharing this, it is not real.

It is darkly hilarious that Robert’s ensured the bar they had to clear was not grabbing a megaphone and screaming “I’M JIMMY RACISM AND I LOVE RACISM SO MUCH I MADE THIS RACIST MAP BECAUSE ALABAMA WAS NOT RACIST ENOUGH FOR MY RACIST TASTES!“ and Alabama Republicans still somehow failed to clear it.

Okaaay?

4) Sigourney Weaver is awesome. Everyone knows this, the movie knows you know it, it's willing to play that for a quick sugar rush, but still.

There are only three things Americans associate trains with: Mussolini, Atlas Shrugged, and The Boxcar Children

He promised to release his tax returns as soon as there were no more audits pending, and now there are no more audits pending.

I know it's quaint to believe such things matter, but under 26 USC 7217 it's a crime for POTUS "to request, directly or indirectly, any [IRS] officer . . . to conduct or terminate an audit or other investigation of any particular taxpayer." www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

Reporter asking Donald whether he will now release his tax returns now that all possible audits are complete in three… two… one….

(even more deeply: "the steam engine" doesn't actually designate anything. it was a long series of incremental improvements and disseminations, not any one invention, and indeed was merely part of a larger tide of such innovations.)

Someone joked that being the single most hated man in the Senate was a *kind* of accomplishment, but we decided it wasn't worth the honor. He's a troll, who's done nothing with his life but strut on a stage and perform on podcasts. There's no there there. /x
