Shaenon K. Garrity @shaenon.bsky.social · 16hOf course he feels justified in lashing out, because he's a dimwitted narcissistic sociopath. And Kelly agrees because he's the same way. But their reasons aren't real outside their tiny, ugly minds. It sure would be nice if the press asked follow-up questions to these mad-king declarations, huh? 051
Shaenon K. Garrity @shaenon.bsky.social · 16hAlso he's lying. In context, he's saying he should've done "bad things" to Democratic leaders during his first term because he got impeached. But it's not the fault of Clinton, Obama, etc. that he was impeached, it's his own dumb crooked fault. And they didn't do anything wrong! 122

Shaenon K. Garrity @shaenon.bsky.social · 17hI listened to the acceptance call with Anne Carson, this year's literature winner. She plans to celebrate by taking a walk in the woods and deciding how to "get rid of" the prize money, probably by giving it to Doctors Without Borders. It's wild how these are members of the same species. 236614
