A Farmer

A grain farmer with a few friends, a few cows, a little debt, and a lot of bad habits.
Democrats should run towards this, tbh. Just as Trump and the GOP are all some combination of idiots, bigots, criminals, and perverts, so is anyone who votes for them. Being a Trump voter should be a public shame to any self-identifying serious person.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · yesterdayIndependent Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn criticized President Trump’s supporters for their motivations for backing the president in a recording acquired by the Omaha World-Herald.
He also thinks stealth planes can literally turn invisible and that people have to wait in line behind Hannibal Lecter and the Joker to apply for asylum. We grade on a generous curve here in the USA.
@lastpositivist.bsky.social · yesterdayIt's genuinely fascinating that the US president keeps announcing that he just flat out doesn't know what trade is, he legit doesn't appreciate the concept of exchange and instead views economic activity through the lens of a dragon attempting to maximise its gold hoard to sit upon.
I'll take it if it does the job, but it's still depressing that gas prices are the big election threat to the GOP and issues like the administration's high seas murder spree aren't really in the conversation at all.
New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it. Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater. I made an 8-bit game out of it— 📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money. 📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.
‘THIN AIR,’ REAL MONEY — The Trump Crypto Game
An 8-bit game about real money. Play as Trump: you only make money. Play as an investor: you only lose. Every figure is drawn from Public Citizen's report and the sources it cites.

75 years to the day after delegates signed the US Constitution at Philadelphia, the Battle of Antietam claimed 6,000 American lives during the Civil War. It's a reminder that the original Constitution didn't solve every problem in American life - and that a Second Founding was necessary.
Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Trump, in North Carolina calls North Carolina "one of the worst" states "in the whole nation"
This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.
amanda moore 🐢@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social · yesterday“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week. Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.
This just seems like a really stupid way to do business.

From @theathletic.com: College football’s most carefully guarded secret is the amount of money flowing to the players on each roster. This summer, our staff tried to uncover these budgets. We found a massive disparity across the major conferences. nyti.ms/3TuCGiJ
Off the charts racism from this administration.

I know we’re numb to this, but it is really bad that journalists and politicians both feel so comfortable lying. Society cannot sustain itself when its elites just lie like this.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoEmmer says Republicans need to talk more about grocery prices that aren't expensive: "Eggs are at pre-pandemic prices. Ah, beef is at, ah, less than $2 a pound for ground beef ... I think we have a lot to run on."
Dude, Guts and shit and all, a live steer is more than $2.00 a pound. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few cattle in your district.

I will vote for anyone who proposes a law that the only public facilities that may have Donald J. Trump’s name on them are stand alone public toilets. Said law would require the name be printed in gold paint on the men’s urinal.
The interesting thing about this is that the chairman of the board, who has specific fiduciary responsibilities, is Donald J. Trump in his capacity as a private individual.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoBreaking News: President Trump said he would cancel a $257 million renovation of the Kennedy Center if his name wasn’t added to the building.
When Biden was president, the strait of Hormuz, the Kennedy Center and the East Wing of the White House were all open.
