Bondi thinks incompetence and corruption are great, so this checks out.

My personal view (which is an uneducated guess) is that Trump* is beholden to Putin, Netanyahu, plus an assortment of other MENA autocrats who give him $$$, and what looks like incoherent policy swings are actually them jockeying against each other for preferred policies.

*And many cabinet members.

Gonna need to fill out one of those apology forms for Grok, I guess.

Huge win for American travelers.

“Hey, just the woman I was hoping to see, you know a lot about occupying countries in the Middle East…”

I don’t think that is gaslighting. I think it’s focusing on the Russian element in the equation, which is her area of expertise.

I’m not going to take the word of some random “socialist” blue check on Xitter, but IF Maddow didn’t assign any blame to Israel then I would agree it’s dishonest.

Don’t forget that they probably have some sort of back channel with Gabbard.

You mean lifting sanctions on Putin’s crooked gas station of a country (as he works with Iran to kill American troops) isn’t going to magically fix the global economy?

The way it relayed to me made clear it was a new (or newly communicated and enforced) restriction.

I agree with this take…but they still need him to get much less popular with the base (or die).

Gaslighting?

Lifting sanctions on Russia as Russia targets American troops in Iran is evidence of compromise or derangement (or both).

I don’t think rooftop at the Four Seasons belongs in the same category as rooftop at the Iraqi embassy (especially if it’s your job site), MNC.

Though getting caught would be embarrassing no matter where it happened.

I almost think it’s like The Producers, where they’ve been trying to crash the American economy for 16 months now but keep getting stalled out by the retail dip buyers no matter how destructive Trump is.

I have assumed this was always Thiel/Musk/Vance’s plan— have Trump do all the stuff they want that is extremely unpopular and destructive and then have Vance come to the rescue.

The U.S. made this class of stunningly stupid, pudding-soft MAGA parasites who have managed to move through life without ever encountering genuinely meaningful pushback. This led them to starting this wildly dangerous war in Iran - and looks like their reality distortion field is no longer working.

If we murder people leaving the MAGA cult, that’s going to make it harder to peel people off.

I assume Vance is somewhere pouting, listening to emo music, angry that our military is depleting assets he wanted to use to invade Greenland for Thiel.

Honestly, could make a great grunge tee slogan.

We really should be starting a non-profit to guide them back towards objective reality so they don’t just get sucked into an even more extreme cult or Russian/Iranian terror cell.

Trump really doesn’t want to answer why he is lifting sanctions on Russia even as Putin is helping Iran murder American troops.

Trump really doesn’t want Americans (especially his Fox News base) to hear anything negative about Putin, whom he’s always slobbering with praise.

Doesn’t want Americans (or his Fox News base) to hear anything negative about Putin.

The news is Trump is treating Russia like America’s ally too. bsky.app/profile/casc...

And the cause of liberty generally.

Probably under pressure from our corrupt clown car administration.

Is it true? Because this would be incredible vibes heading into the weekend.
