this entire exchange is a journey but that last bit of gratuitous racism at the end, if said by a democrat, would end their career forever, and the fact the interviewers just kept going is a large part of why journalism in america is dying
Have you seen the videos of Mitch McConnell back in the Senate? Do you think he should resign because of his health condition?

It was a disappointment to a lot of Republicans. So that's just—well, Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody. He gave them to Fauci. He gave them to this. But you mean I'm not allowed to give them, but Sleepy Joe's allowed to give them? This ain't gonna be much of a story. Here we are doing this. You haven't asked me one fucking positive question. All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative. Why are you devoting all this time to the White House? You know how I do, I do that out of my back pocket. I pay for a lot of it, but I fix it because the White House should look like that. It shouldn’t look like—if you would have stood in that balcony and looked at that wall, half the wall was falling. It's actually dangerous. People are walking under, crap was falling off it all the time. Every time it rained, it was leaking, horrible. Now it's perfect, and I would say that I should be given credit for fixing the White House because I'm also doing very well with the war. I'm doing very well with another war that we already won, Venezuela. Do you notice you haven't asked me a question about Venezuela?Transcript of an interview dialogue:

We did earlier.

No, no, I brought it up, and then you said—

You beat us to it. But yeah.

No, but I'm just thinking to myself, fake news. But I have a lot of respect. I like the owner, good guy. But I don't understand. I'm sitting here. I've done all this stuff. Look, this is nothing compared to what I've done, but I took the White House and made it beautiful again. Okay, and people look at it. People came up. President Xi looked at it two days ago. He said, "This is beautiful. Much better than I..." He was here 25 years ago with Obama. Think Obama knows it? Obama would not. He doesn't know if something's dirty or clean.

How did Xi's health seem to you? There are reports that Xi's in bad health. How did he seem to you?

I think he's in great health. I hope you quote me on that too, because I was with him for two days, extremely intense, a lot of visits to different places all over the place. I don't know, and he was in perfect health. I know when somebody’s not—

Isn't it a founding principle of the country that the press is supposed to hold government and those in power accountable? Do you believe in that?

It is, but they got to treat you fairly. You know, when they write stories that are knowingly false, and everyone knows NBC's, NBC's bad too, but CNN is terrible. MS Now changed their name because they have no friends.

Of course you can ban people whoever you want in your own game. A "reddit moderator fedora tipping" way from the looks of it.

Because you are a humorless developer, that think puns and silly names are dead serious.

I believe the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment in all circumstances but the absurd joke of "lethal injection" is even more cruel and unusual than the others. A violent fiction to fool bystanders into thinking that they are witnessing a humane execution. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

A meme titled "RACES MOST ABLE TO SURVIVE FALLS TIERLIST" formatted as a classic gaming tier list ranked from S to D, each filled with images of people in traditional cultural attire:

- S Tier (Red): A Mexican man in a charro suit and a wide-brimmed sombrero.
- A Tier (Orange): A Japanese man in a dark kimono holding a katana, a European man in German Bavarian lederhosen holding a beer mug, and an Indigenous Australian man with body paint holding a boomerang.
- B Tier (Yellow-Orange): A Native American man in traditional clothing with folded arms, an Inuit person in a thick fur parka and hood, and a Polynesian/Pacific Islander man in traditional ceremonial dress on a beach.
- C Tier (Yellow): An African man in traditional warrior regalia with an animal skin shield, a North African Gnawa musician playing a stringed instrument, and an Orthodox Jewish Hasidic man in traditional black coat and hat.
- D Tier (Light Green): An Indian man with a colorful turban and white beard holding a musical instrument, and a man in traditional Balkan/Eastern European folk attire standing in a field.

I've lost about 40 pounds with GLP-1 drugs so far (about 30 to go) after losing 60 pounds the "right" way and then plateauing. Shaming people for losing weight "the wrong way" is stupid and harmful. There is almost NOTHING more harmful to a body than carrying around excess weight.
