It’s so unlike Trump to leave a mess.

This is Quagmire. What Trump’s doing in Iran is a classic clusterphuck.

I can’t read this without getting choked up in awe and gratitude. From @vermontgmg.bsky.social’s When the Sea Came Alive about D-Day.

Let’s give credit where credit is due. The ETF MAGA Fund founded by super MAGA donor Lambert fails the monkey with darts test. Look at the mediocre returns.

It wasn’t worth the military benefit then and it isn’t now.

Next to Trump, this guy is more responsible than any other person for the desecration of the White House residence and the decision to destroy the East Wing and create a monstrosity.

Surely the true originalists on the Court could find historical precedent for multi-day, flexible voting times, as existed at the founding.

He also knows a wet federal teat when he sees one. Another one of your small government conservatives. “But not so small, there—small for thee, not for me.” Bridger Aerospace:

Tim Cook debased himself and damaged his Apple’s reputation to curry favor with Trump (by going to Melania premier and donating to ballroom). Little good that did him.

There’s always someone willing to freely give up our freedom and constitutional rights to curry favor with the regime. Appalling.

Tuberville meant to say “blond truss”

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov This amounts to terrorizing.

Beautifully and lovingly written. I might add that just because Mary is beautiful, charming and intelligent does not necessarily mean Sam (who’s with another woman during the call—and thus a bit of a cad) or anyone else in town would have pursued her. So life as a “spinster” is not implausible.

@davidfrenchjag.bsky.social COVID restrictions set MAGA ablaze. But MAGA ICE can arrest people practicing their faith.

That Russian tzar sensibility. Or Pittsburgh Embassy Suites

I found the inspiration for Trump’s abomination of a ballroom. The Pittsburgh Embassy Suites

I don’t know, George, I think Trump is aiming for that Russian tzar sensibility.

Trump is aiming for that Russian tsar look and feel. But with modern Courtyard by Marriott sensibility

It’s gone. A sickening desecration.
