There are so many “word of the day” choices to describe this…awkward, cringeworthy, abysmal…just…BAD. Each successive Trump Press Secretary is worse than their predecessor. At least Kayleigh and her binder can rest easy now that she’s no longer holding up the others from the bottom.

Translation: I’m shoving the country straight toward a 1929-style cliff at 250 miles an hour. I’m just going to blame the Dems if they win. If they don’t, I’ll blame Biden/Hillary/Obama/News…everybody else.

And yet…the government sends its sensitive mail such as tax checks, social security cards, Medicare cards, and passports by USPS as simply first class standard mail. But…individuals and states “sensitive mail” only applies to cremains, dup ordinance and…votes? That’s as bizarre as it is idiotic.

Oh yeah. Remind us all again what an asshole Newt is.
Newt Gingrich famously characterized politics as a "blood sport" (and a "war for power") to describe his hyper-partisan, confrontational approach to governance.

The Strategy: Gingrich pioneered a combative style in the late 1970s and 1980s that rejected traditional bipartisanship. He treated congressional battles as zero-sum, win-at-all-costs conflicts rather than arenas for compromise.

If Trump *really* wants to sponsor these in a positive way, he needs to put his money where his mouth is. Why isn’t he partnering with a data center company and putting a center ON each of his properties, using water and electricity HE pays for? #thingsthatmakeuougohmmm

Dem ads need to show these beautiful parks available to everyone as they narrate their costs, then show a photo of the helipad available only to him…once as it started and again as it’s finished (since Trump didn’t like version 1 and he’s now getting a version 2).

.. “excellent senator”.. She has no legislative experience & was literally sworn in 6 days ago. She might know where her office is, where parking is located, and where the bathrooms and cafeterias are by now. This just goes to show how low Republican standards are for senate job performance. 🤦‍♀️

Queue the next round of using Mullin’s public statements against the DOJ in states’ fights to protect their voter rolls. DOJ is currently 0 for 15 in their effort in this. Threatening state officials for not complying isn’t “political speech”, it’s policy & unconstitutional overreach.

Time to re-up this timeless classic. Trump relentlessly attacks what he wants to discredit. He has never gotten over his reelection loss and never will. He will forever attempt to discredit it rather than admit he failed.
Donald Trump admitted to CBS News correspondent Lesley Stahl that he relentlessly attacks the press so that the public will automatically disbelieve negative news coverage about him.During an off-camera conversation at Trump Tower before his election, Stahl questioned why he consistently attacked the media, to which he replied:"I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you".
