Number one, he’s heard people say “Al Gore invented the internet.” Second, he’s heard people say “AI is going to be bigger than the internet.” And therefore, in his little pea brain, he’s thinking that if he can name something “bigger than the internet,” his name will be attached to it forever.

Today is the 30th anniversary of the launch of Fox News, one of the worst things that has ever happened to to human beings. I will have a piece on this later.

we can continue to complain about “critics say” coverage or we can become those critics that are saying things and getting coverage

It is one the worst things ever said by an American president. You don’t welcome home a terrorist who led an attack on the US Capitol.

Yes, exactly what I thought too after seeing the first one in the wild. It’s clear they want people to know he’s running campaign ads with our money, because he can.

I’m in the Dayton area and like to remind my “conservative” neighbors that if Vivek were a Dem, they’d be referring to him as “Vivek Hussein Ramaswamy.” Doesn’t matter if that’s not his name, you know what I mean, *wink wink*

I said my piece on it way back in 2016, before he was elected, and every word holds up. (It is maddening to me that Vox has paywalled all my old pieces, by the way.)

The question of what Donald Trump “really believes” has no answer
It is a category error.

Agreed. Although, I think some of the failures were intended to boost his approval (D.C “beautification” for example), but he’s too much of a dumbass motherfucker to handle even that kind of thing competently.

At this point, it’s all about what goes in the history books for him. He’s trying to attach his name to what he sees as an innovation like the internet so that people will say in 20 years “donald trump invented AI.” That’s all he cares about.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

Vaccine hesitancy and anti-vaccine sentiments are prevalent throughout the country right now. Vaccination rates are dropping in kindergarteners, measles outbreaks continue to crop up, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has an anti-vaccine history, is leading the Department of Health and Human Services.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

It's clinical narcissism. The only way he can engage on this subject is by making it about himself. It's the same with 9/11. He knows he's supposed to acknowledge it, somberly pay tribute or whatever, & literally the only way he can is by inserting himself into it.

Even Trump has got to be surprised by how much of the media has defaulted to, "Trump posted a long tweet that is the law now," and reality gets filed under "however, critics say..."

If I were emperor for a day, one change I'd make: In every political race, at every level, at least the *first* debate would be replaced by a simple test of knowledge. How do taxes work? What agency is responsible for what? Is your area growing or shrinking in population? Just basic stuff.

Which is why, as unrealistic as it is, Dem messaging should be “you don’t have to wait until 2028 to end this nightmare, give us super majorities and we’ll impeach AND remove the whole lot of them.”

It's impossible not to conclude that Trump is genuinely trying to destroy the country. Whether that's on his own behalf of another country's is up in the air.

I'd only be worried about a Trump coup if... a) They fired all the professional generals and replaced them with loyal hacks b) They brought Nat'l Guard troops from pro-Trump states into DC until 1/20/29 c) Trump was building a massive bunker with drones next to the White House wait a minute...

chopper1913.bsky.social @chopper1913.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Yes, but the point of finishing it by “summer of 2028” is so there will never be another Dem president again.

21. It suggests the degree to which she and others have internalized Trump's deterioration. It's so normal as to be invisible. When it does come to the fore, as it did this week, it's set in the context of politics as usual.

You would think, but I can speak from experience with my parents who only watch Fox, they rarely hear the bad stuff and constantly hear that the “fake news” is out to get him. That way, when the do hear anything negative, it simply confirms that everyone is out to get him.

I hope that somehow, someday, this can be used in court as supporting evidence in their own trials. As in, “obviously they were all insider trading, they even implicitly acknowledged that having this information before others has a value associated with it.”
