I maintain my view that without a rich dad, Donald Trump would be the irritating racist in the golf course clubhouse who can get you stuff for cheap, and tells you the slot machine is about to pay out any minute and you should hold the cherry, no let me I'll show you this is a sure thing

TRUMP: Did you see the story about my uncle? TIME: The one who taught at MIT? TRUMP: I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest.
Do you trust Sam Altman?

I like him. Do I trust him? Who do I trust? I like Sam Altman. Smart. Dario's smart. They're all smart. We're dealing with a very high level of IQ. Very very high level. That's a good thing. I like that. I like it. Did you see the story about my uncle?

The one who taught at MIT?

I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest. I'm fine, and I understand that stuff. You know, my uncle was at MIT for 41 years, and you know, I'm a—I believe in genetics, frankly, and I understand. I understand it much more than I think any president would, because I do have an ability on this. I have an ability on those things that were the new frontiers. 

What I've done is I've created, for instance, these massive plants have no—We have no electricity in our grid. These massive plants now are allowed to make their own electric—

Black and white picture of Gary Oldman as Drexl Spivey in True Romance. He is wearing a leopardskin smoking jacket, and some kind of leather nightcap beret crossover. He has dreadlocks, a scarred left eye socket and ruined eye, and he is smoking a cigarette.

Aside from the ever greater insanity, if Trump uses the word strong in a sentence, he is lying, eg "At the strong request of the military" - nobody asked "We're looking into it very strongly" - someone asked about something he's never heard of before, about which nobody is doing anything

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and
detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures.
Figures 11 and 12. Small Metal Enclosures; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of a metal cage that is 4 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches long, and 7 feet 9 inches high. The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.

The energy I bring to Bluesky
Ancient and sadly departed UK chat show host Michael Parkinson sits against a brown background, in a brown blazer, blue shirt and purple-ish tie; he has a disinterested or cheesed off expression on his face.
Next to him is Emu, a famous comic puppet of an emu. Emu is about the length of a man's arm (since an arm goes inside to do the beak with the hand). Emu's beak is bright yellow fading to orange; his body is orange, and he has blue tinsel fur along his head and around his body (which is 'hidden' by many tinsel streamers). he has black eyes with a white triangle highlight. 
In this picture his beak is parallel to Parkinson's face, and slightly wrinkled which was emu's way of indicating something he didn't like.
