You’d think with as much practice as Donald gets, he’d be better at lying. But it ain’t easy smoothly telling untruths when you’re that kind of stupid. You think everyone else is too.

If you owe a woman 5 million dollars for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

Centrist politicians and pundits don’t care if fascism is ever defeated. They don’t want Dem Socialists to take over the party because then they lose their gravy train. This is why so many of them are pivoting and pretending to be progressives now after decades of sucking up to corporatists.

Senator Sanders on #Trump 🔻 Add to that Trump's praise for Putin, ties to Russian oligarchs, alignment with anti-democratic NRx billionaires, praise for North Korea’s enforced “respect” for its leaders, and support for Israel’s ethno-nationalist policies. #EpsteinClass
Sen. Bernie Sanders

It's not complicated. Trump doesn't believe in democracy.

He hates democratic Europe and loves the oligarchic dictatorships in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar.

He wants to stifle dissent in the media and arrest his opponents.

ALL Americans must unify against authoritarianism.

Donny had an interaction with an AI-generated hologram, and then went out and told everyone that he'd spoken to Teddy Roosevelt. huh? what? his brain is has gone fuckity-bye, folks. thank you for your attention to today's post in which I make my case. link is here: bit.ly/4geDYaF
Six-Fingered Teddy: “every day a president faces storms that people never see. but if you keep your nerve and remember the nation comes first, you get through. I know you know that feeling yourself.”

Donny: “well, I appreciate those words. words are fantastic, and— and I just want to say it’s an honor to be with you today. uh, we are making a little bit of a tour and some of the fantastic things you’ve done.”

what we just saw is a janky, six-fingered plagiarism robot spitting out generic niceties that someone programmed into it, and Donny responding as if he were having an actual conversation with a real person. Six-Fingered Teddy’s words were ‘fantastic,’ and Donny ‘appreciated them.’

perfectly normal stuff, am I right?

now, the charitable explanation is that of course Dear Leader knew what was going on, and was merely play-acting in return. that’s the story that MAGA is sticking to.

come on, really? we’ve all seen the Apprentice. Donny’s not that good an actor. even twenty years ago, he was an incoherent stumblefuck with exactly one memorable catchphrase, who needed to be heavily edited to make sense.

the uncharitable explanation is that Grandpa Befuddlepants was once again out wandering where the buses don’t run, can no longer tell fact from six-fingered fiction, and thought he was somehow talking to the real TR.

after all, that’s what he told those Rough-Riding cosplayers, that he’d been having a conversation with Teddy Roosevelt.

but here’s the thing: how totally through the looking glass are we that we even have to have this conversation?

Afghanistan's Taliban published a law that interprets a girl's silence at puberty as consent to marriage. A human rights catastrophe. The Taliban invokes Islam to justify this. That conflation is false, and devastating. Child marriage is a global crisis. The US has its own reckoning to face.

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.
