This is a pro-Trump or anti-American bot talking point. Trump attacked. Set goals. Failed. Quit. Lost. Now is bribing Iran so he can quit. Historic and ridiculous failure.

Trump's Fox News interview with his daughter in law is taking place in front of a giant portrait of himself. Kim Jong Un would blush.

@billsimmons.bsky.social Robert Horry wasn’t a role player. He could play every role. He should shoot, defend 3 or 4 positions, rebound, finish, play in transition. That’s not a role, unless the role is “do most everything on a basketball court.” And in that case, the term doesn’t mean anything.

LANDMAN is ripe for this because it routinely has Billy Bob Thornton go off on wholly-untrue pro-oil rants. His most famous one is about wind turbines not offsetting any carbon over their 20-year life cycle. In reality, they're fully offset within an average of 5.3 months.

While the Make America Healthy Again movement has largely forged its identity around food, vaccines and pesticides, a new poll highlights how affordability is a chief concern this year for Americans across the political spectrum.

NEW: Texas lawmakers rejected over five dozen bills that could have protected residents from last summer’s deadly floods. “We need to resist this narrative that this disaster was unpreventable,” an environmental studies director said.

Texas Lawmakers Repeatedly Failed to Pass Legislation That Could Have Protected Residents From Deadly Floods
Dozens of bills were rejected over nearly 60 years, ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found. The most consequential measures could have saved lives by prohibiting youth camps and new construction in areas at high risk for flooding.

The modern Republican Party cannot be trusted. Their media, donors, politicians, or strategists. They can’t be trusted to select fit leaders or to hold their people accountable. Don’t limit your aperture of critique to Trump. He didn’t start all of this. And he didn’t elect himself.

This has been the prime objective of the Russian forces supporting Trump’s rise for more than a decade. The language has gotten twisted. But the reality is clear as a bell.

Whomever wants a pro-democracy, pro-social government: each time you crap on the party that can win & advance those values, critique the Republican party 3-6 times…per instance. A top anti-democracy move since Nader has been boosting lefty anti-Democratic voices. It’s worked. But not for the left.
