This kind of answer:

"When I send 𝒚𝒐𝒖 to war, people will die. But it won't be anybody related to me, or even anybody I know."

I've been wondering when that multi-billion-dollar mistake was going to bite him.

Trump’s “Warflation” Has Just Begun If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

"Shit. I'm still paying for my face job, and how am I supposed to afford all this grease I smear on myself every day?"

How are they going to try to debunk me when I reveal that I have returned as a female this time?

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

“Police reported that Johnson, 45, tried to keep the children quiet by telling them he would share millions of dollars in restitution money he expected to receive from the Trump administration in connection with his Jan. 6 case.”

I'm trying to imagine a POTUS so utterly vile that he would turn the words 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' into a slur. That he would campaign on this. That those whom he appoints would need to be equally vile.

Oh, wait. I don't have to imagine. 🙄

Trump hints U.S. will turn to Cuba after Iran: ‘Just a question of time’

Narrator: May the sands in his hourglass be few.

I think the difference is between 'strong man' (which he isn't) and 'strongman' (which at least he aspires to be).

Can I turn off 'spoiler alerts'? 🤪😉

No, seriously. Holy shit. This is actually going on.

TRUMP'S TROOPS TOLD THE WAR IS MEANT TO 'CAUSE THE APOCALYPSE' - 3.5.26 SEASON 4 EPISODE 66: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: It's literally a disaster of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS. Some of Trump’s Troops are being told that it isn't 'war with…

My mistake on the source. It 𝒘𝒂𝒔 Dr. Snyder, but it was from today's 'Raging Moderates' podcast, where he was being interviewed.

Mea maxima culpa.

WATCH: “Whatever the opposite of coaching Michael Jordan is, that’s what it feels like watching Schumer. Missing open layups.”

Zohran advisor Morris Katz talks to @timmiller.bsky.social about Dem leadership fumbling obvious NO WAR messaging.

A side note on markets:

You often hear people say, "If you missed the 10 largest advances in a single day, your returns will be much lower." And it's true, but.

What they don't say:

Those advances are overwhelmingly bounces in bear markets.

Really. @fetterman.senate.gov has gotta go.

Narrator: Go at least as far as the medical tent.

The Senate voted 47 to 53 to put down the measure, with GOP Sen. Rand Paul joining almost all Democrats to advance it, and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman voting with Republicans to block it.

A US Senate push to rein in Trump's war powers fails.

Translation: A useless body that long ago gave up honest debate for political sycophancy, has failed. Again.

Maybe (almost certainly?) there are more. But the ones willing to take on the first risks, when the risks are much higher than they would be later on, are gone.

But Cadet Bone Spurs, who makes other people take risks on his behalf, wouldn't understand this.

Less than halfway in, Dr. Snyder explains a horrible mistake that Trump has made. Specifically, there is only a certain cohort in any population who are risk-prone, who would be potential 'regime-changers'. They were largely machine-gunned in January. The remainder are not revolutionaries.

You should ask Mike. 😉

The Transitive Strongman A Bit of Hockey Philosophy

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Cornyn spent $75 per vote he received in a primary he didn’t win.

“The red wedding begins’” his senior advisor said of the 12-week runoff campaign starting today against the opponent they call a “wife cheater and fraud now wrecking another home, sleeping around with a married mother of seven.”

At Spy we reported on and satirized Trump correctly, relentlessly and, as it turned out, presciently. Lately these bits have seemed especially apt and well-aged —from from our first cover story (1986) and a brilliant cartoon by @BruceHandy.bsky.social for our NBC TV show. youtu.be/oCN_uISlJ-k?...
