meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Watch for more and more of Trump's enablers attempt to whitewash their careers, and make a few bucks from positions of relative safety. I sense the go along to get along then cash out strategy will end badly for all of them. 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The expressions and body language in the background speak volumes. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 07/10/2026If I were Tom I wouldn't be spending that advance money anytime soon. 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Word for the day, or the year, or the last couple of years... 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Haven't read that. I did find her books on nuclear war and biological warfare credible and compelling. You may disagree. 100
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Collins is too modest. Her complete impotence is exactly what Trump wants in a senator. 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 07/10/2026In which Jacobsen paints a scenario of a bioengineered pneumonic plague escaping containment from a lab in Siberia. Stop me if you've heard this before. This is not a Sci-Fi scare novel. It's a thorough and wall researched work by a serious author. Highly recommended. Especially now. 110
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In which Jacobsen paints a scenario of a bioengineered pneumonic plague escaping containment from a lab in Siberia. Hilarity does not ensue. 011

meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Most of the people in the background look like something out of a hostage video. Unlike the ones nodding and smiling, they appreciate the internet is forever. 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Next up: did that Vietnam border dispute get a little out of hand. 001
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Might add a little to the gravitas of this post if that was actually Parliament Hill in the background. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 03/10/2026For the record, after the fact books are neither courageous nor redemptive, they are cash outs. 011
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm afraid I have no sympathy, nor could I support, someone who could have done something about it and didn't. 020
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026When your center of gravity is an overloaded diaper and your ankles are the size of grapefruit this stance makes perfect sense. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The paraphrase Gore Vidal in The Right Man, it's not that he's a bastard, it's just that he's such a stupid bastard. 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This is straight out of the MAGA playbook. When you get caught in a lie, double down. 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026To be fair, if you're Matt Gaetz a spider fern is an intellectual giant. 041
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 28/09/2026He isn't thinking. He's looking for the acceptance his monster of a father never gave him. It is accelerating because he's getting old and losing his filters. 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Knee jerk reactions imply the brain wasn't involved at all. That should have been his first clue. 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Agreed. Can we cut to the part where the babysitter offs him with a pickle fork? 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Well, if other state employees collided with each other at speed, slapped each other's butts, and occasionally poured large drums of Gatorade on each other.. Apples, oranges. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It's instructive that NYT describes the expulsion of CNN as a "tussle". 061
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm sure Trump brought this up somewhere between renaming AI and the tour of his new ballroom. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026A generation ago individuals such as these would have been yelling incoherently at their televisions. Thank God for technology that allows the same people to share their musings with the rest of us. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Of course most of them might wonder what Mickey's dog has to do with it. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026As someone who has to stand behind Trump he would certainly be in a position to know. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026History teaches us that a sense of hopelessness and inevitability is an authoritarian's secret sauce. Of course you need to know some history. 0223
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Every time JD speaks you can hear an oppo binder spring open. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The fact that it's 32% and not lower tells me some respondents were lying or didn't understand the question. In short, his base. 010
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Trump is on his back foot with the media boycott. Minimally, its return should contain some conditions. Mutual civility and respect would be a good start. 000
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Lack of an audience is kryptonite to this guy. TACO Tuesday tomorrow, as sure as gravity. Please God press core, make it a very expensive taco. 031
meed @mmeed.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If the WH press corps somehow engineered this whole thing there are some darkly brilliant mofos of which I was previously unaware. 000
