US: There is no problem. He shakes a lot of hands. China: Tell us really what is going on? US: We have already. China: Then he must wear gloves or else no meeting. 010

Joe D Rye @marylandfarmer.bsky.social · 07/09/2026“Curiously reticent”…hmmm…perhaps as a metaphor think one foot on the dock, the other on the boat that is free and drifting away. Commitment reticence leads to a big splash. 001
Joe D Rye @marylandfarmer.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I can get a handle on understanding DJT’s malignant (meaning progressively worsening) narcissism. Curious to know if it typically comes with all this darkness. It appears that the condition chokes out humor, which is…sad. 000

It genuinely can't be both in a functioning democracy. 116349

Joe D Rye @marylandfarmer.bsky.social · 15/08/2026The *access* needed by the press to best serve the public (and ultimately their bottom line) is to insiders willing to tell the story with support (docs, recordings, video etc). *Access* to podium liars is unnecessary - and counter to the mission - of an informed public. 010
