This is the kind of thing Trump does that demonstrates to anyone with a soul that he is a despicable person. He can't help but say these things, because that's just who he is.

Decades ago, in Seattle, I often crossed paths with futurist Alex Steffen. I still read his Substack. If only we'd we'd acted decades ago to limit excessive overconsumption we wouldn't need his ruggedization tools for climate chaos. But now we do. “The real first responders are your neighbors.”

I can't believe we're arguing about tax increase on super to help mend the budget which actually won't raise anything, and then on the other size a gazillion dollars worth of our gas will be dug up and exported and obvs no tax paid on it + climate catastrophe. Great deals all around.

I miss journalists, Trump staged an assassination attempt that a five year-old could figure out was fake and NYT’s thinks we need Ezra Klein interviewing Jake Tapper. The failure of MSM wasn’t in covering Biden’s age it was in ignoring Trump’s crimes for the last forty years.

Fascinating analysis here about how Advance made huge strategic error in whacking Greens and potentially helping Labor form a larger majority. I would add to this that Advance helped make the Liberals look more Trumpist right when Libs were trying to hide their MAGA hats. Well done Advance grubs!

I have said since Trump starting laying the groundwork for the Big Lie in the first part of 2020 that he would not leave office willingly. I have been correct so far. And I'm telling you again he will not leave office willingly. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, referring to his allies. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”
