Donald Trump is an evil, stupid man. That's all.

Kimmel's monologue from last night has racked up 10 million views in 11 hours. Way to go, Trump! 😂

Jimmy Kimmel's YouTube channel gained 1.1 million subscribers since last night. Trump and his autocratic idiocy is the best thing that has ever happened to Kimmel. Now, one million more people - and untold numbers of people watching on TV - will the jokes that puncture Trump's paper-thin skin.

WOW! Nailed it. These were Kimmel's first words last night! I need to have a late night show called "Not Really Funny."

Folks are saying "With Trump's insane speech at the UN, he has hit rock bottom. This is false. With Trump, there is no rock bottom. There is just how much further he travels down the bottomless pit.

Why I will never give to @actblueorg.bsky.social again: in 2000, I gave to political candidates. Now I am bombarded with 30-40 pleas for money by text and even more emails. Unless they let you give a fake number/email, do not give. I have to change my phone number and email because of ActBlue.

Trump continue to show he is the dumbest president ever. He just ranted how terrible it was for Russia to be booted from the G-8 (when it invaded crimea, but he seemed not to know that was the reason.) He blamed Obama and Trudeau. Trudeau was not prime minister until after Russia was removed.

Does anyone else believe Kilmer Abrego Garcia has already been murdered by Salvadoran government & Trump Admin knows? Senators aren't allowed to see him, the DOJ risks contempt, El Salvador says they won't ever return him. I strongly suspect this is the secret they're hiding.

I..Im stunned. In just 3 months, Trump has destroyed our 150 year alliance with Canada. The era of economic, security and military cooperation "is over,'' the Prime Minister announces. Trump is so busy going after Greenland for BS security claims, he may have just lost NORAD.

A Turkish PhD student at Tufts on a student visa was snatched off the street by men dressed in black with black baklavas & thrown into unmarked van. A federal court had ordered ICE to leave her alone & they ignored it. Her crime? Writing an op-ed in support of the Palestinian people.

I’m on a flight and the guy next to me is watching Fox News. I am hearing none of it, but just based on what I see on the screen. OMIGOD. No wonder these people live in delusions. They’re being told Biden is trying to ban dozens of appliances. Nothing like twisting a kernel of truth to lie.

So, the Chief Justice's whines about criticism of the court - but it should be more. The court is seizing power from everywhere - Presidents, Congress, States, agencies, citizens - following no coherent judicial philosophy other than worshiping its own authority. open.substack.com/pub/threats/...

That's not the issue. It's why THIS guy? There are so many people on death row who deserve a chance. This man is a violent, repeat murderer who kills the defenseless. I was sure there would be some problem with his trial or rehabilitation. This guy did not deserve the attention of the White House

... who was one of the drug dealers he was protecting. Then, while in prison, he planned the execution of a fellow prisoner, pushing the guy to a concrete floor then stopping his head into mush and breaking his neck. How the hell is he worth of White House attention? I'm sorry, this is obscene.

However you feel about death penalty, I thought there must be a reason behind who Biden chose in commuting sentences. The first one I checked, ShannonAgofsky, deserves to rot in hell. Former cop, ran cocaine protection racket, beat ppl up. Mother of 3 filed abuse complaint, he hired a hit man.../1

My new Substack: Trump argues that saying a jury found him to have committed rape is libelous. Ok so use new words: “a jury found Trump attacked a woman, forcibly jamming his fingers inside her vagina, which in most states is called rape.” Better, Donald? open.substack.com/pub/threats/...

New on my Substack: In 2016, Trump lied about a kid who developed autism after vaccination, twisting a story about one of his allies. "“I was furious,” Trump's former friend told me. "He lied about what happened.” But now, Trump is a full fledged anti-vaxxer. open.substack.com/pub/threats/...

I swear this is real. Seven years ago, a UPenn frat announced on a private site that it was sponsoring a game of “assassin” for all frats on campus. The first person to respond is a frat member, Luigi Mangione, the suspected united healthcare killer.

I have a relative who is one of a the people followed on a social media site by the suspected united healthcare shooter (just an acquaintance). Fox News called him & asked for an interview. He politely declined. Then called me and said “they must not know we’re related & so I know what Fox News IS.”

Since United Healthcare killers shells said “delay, deny, depose” & police said he came from Georgia, I reviewed all lawsuits on UH’s unjust claim denials there. There are so many, including cases where UH delayed till plaintiffs ran out of $. Some ended in deaths of kids. Suspect list is endless.
