Shocking news that the Nobel Committee does not award Peace Prize to an orange toddler who commits war crimes and murders people in international waters.

The question to this answer, of course, is "How can I, as President, make myself richer?" #FTMFer

Every day, the news out of this White House and Hegseth convinces me that, to them, The Terminator was an inspirational blueprint for the future they seem hellbent on bringing down on us. No boundaries on AI and autonomous drones. What could go wrong?

How steeply have we fallen as a leader of the free world when our highest court ignores the rights of individuals in favor of the despotic desires of a dictator who has trampled the rights of immigrants and citizens alike. Have we reached the bottom yet?

You know, it's weird. I can clearly hear Overton talking but somehow she can't speak the truth because her lips are, apparently, glued to trump's taint. Just weird.

The grass median in the center of this traffic circle is just over 310' in diameter. And he wants to house a "military complex" and munitions depot there? W.T.A.F.

Are we sure the wheels of justice haven't been stolen off our Ford Fiesta? So, damn, slow. At this rate, we won't have any resolution to this before 2029 which, I'm sure, is trump's goal.

This, like so many other examples, is an instance of #ETTD - Everything Trump Touches Dies. This is plain and simple extortion. "Put my name on it or I won't support doing the work to maintain this facility, even though it is the responsibility of this government to do exactly that." What a baby.

I admire Mamdani for this as I do for most things he has done. Truly a game-changer in almost every respect and a solid leader. But a part of me also suspects that Giuliani didn't even know who Mamdani was.

The ineptitude, if not outright corruption, throughout this administration from the Executive down to the USPS is damn scary. This is the inherent danger when a corrupt criminal is serving as the titular head of government who appoints cronies in every branch and agency. #ImpeachNow

I think you mean, "Oh, freakin' Hell." Trying to flip Texas can't be done wholesale and if Dems don't unite where it counts (here), it will never happen.

Which would also imply, given the asshole's history, that it's all a lie and there is no deal. Or, as my wife suggests, the "beef" is going to be wild horse meat slaughtered by the BLM.

Chris Bledsoe @tcbledsoe.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
As I noted earlier, this interference by trump will have the opposite effect on beef farmers: it cuts the bottom out of the market demand for beef so why would farmers invest in rebuilding their herds?
000
Chris Bledsoe @tcbledsoe.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Great to hear from professionals like Ms. Curlee to affirm what many of us already surmised from trump's first term in office with nominees like Ratcliffe or, worse, Grenell for DNI. With every day's news from this admin, I'm becoming more convinced that trump just wants to burn everything down.
000
Chris Bledsoe @tcbledsoe.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Sure. Because nothing encourages beef farmers like depressed market prices. What a moron.

Got up in the middle of the night at 2 AM to view the Perseids: overcast. Got up again at 4:45 and a few clouds... 5 meteors, but also saw 9 satellites. Now I need a nap.

As I've noted elsewhere, what trump is effectively doing is ignoring the tens of millions of Republicans in each of these states who DID vote for him. But maybe he is cynically very aware of this and presumes those Republicans will blame the state (Fox will likely reinforce this lie).

It's just astounding to me. trump has spent billions on a needless war with Iran - with no end in sight. And, to date, has spent just shy of $4 billion pointlessly because of his and the GOP's anti-green ideology. Constant waste and an absent Congress with the GOP just kissing his ass.
