Correct except Twitter. Twitter was cool. Then Elon Musk killed it, resurrected its corpse and put it in an SS uniform.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d agoIt's Artificial Intelligence. It's Twitter. It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's Lake Ontario. It's the Department of Defense. It's the Kennedy Center.
Just hopping on the combination Nazi bar/CSAM generator to cast an entire swath of people based on where they were born as worthy of death, nothing disgusting about that
ex-Lethality Jane@lethalityjane.bsky.social · 3d agoSeems bad.
Not the point but the way he capitalizes random words drives me absolutely goddamn insane. A guy who’d flunk a third grade English quiz runs the most powerful nation on earth and the sycophants he surrounds himself with start writing like this too.
Michael Froomkin@mfroomkin.bsky.social · 6d agoRelative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)
![Dear [name],
For years, the Biden Administration overcharged you to fund the operation of HealthCare.gov. That money belongs to hard-working Americans, not the Government, and now, I am returning it to you!
With this Historic Action, my Administration is taking the surplus funds that accumulated from the Obamacare ''Premium Tax" and issuing a one-time $500 REFUND to Americans who use the HealthCare.gov platform to purchase their health insurance, but who do not receive Taxpayer Subsidies to help pay for their Coverage. You have paid into this flawed System, and now you are finally getting something back.
Healthcare Dollars should benefit Patients, not Insurance Companies or Government Bureaucrats. Since returning to office, I have fought to lower Healthcare Costs, increase Accountability, and Put Patients First. Through TrumpRx, we are delivering massive discounts on Household Prescription Drugs, and my Most-Favored-Nation Pricing Agreements have already saved Americans more than 1 Billion Dollars on much-needed Medications. We also secured an unprecedented 50 Billion Dollar investment to transform Rural Healthcare, expanded access to Health Saving Accounts for millions of people on Obamacare, and restored Pnce Transparency, all while roofing out the Waste, Fraud, and abuse across our Healthcare System.
I am proud to return your money to you, and I will never stop fighting to put the American People FIRST, restore Affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the Cost of Healthcare.
May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America!
Sincerely,
[signed]
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nnffk6m46cmabw3e6cxo2fhj/bafkreidnkmkq4exjng37i7mvp4oqyjftbfleykhwke4k22lsnpntgmxpla)
I would seriously bet good money he could name fewer than 15 countries.
darth™️@darthbluesky.bsky.social · 2w agohow many countries in the entire world do u think trump could actually name lol
Have you ever seen anything so pathetic in your life? We are a global embarrassment.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2w agoChinese officials look on as some final adjustments to the red carpet are made for President Xi.
But Mr. President, doesn’t that mean we’ll have a massive trade deficit with Belarus?! And isn’t that bad?! Isn’t that your infantile understanding of trade?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump: "The United States is working on a massive Deal with respect to the purchase of Potash from Belarus. The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada, very good news for our Farmers and Ranchers. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Dude has never “listened intently” to anything in his life.
Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 3w ago“.. Trump in recent weeks has become sober about the gravity of the political situation, listening intently as he is presented with often discouraging polling, according to four people with knowledge of his recent comments ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
You know, in hindsight, perhaps making the stupidest asshole to ever live president wasn’t a great idea.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3w agoAmerican Moron
I feel like there’s a lesson in here somewhere for democrats who try to court the right’s vote while dismissing the concerns of people to their left. Oh well!
Matthew Gertz@mattgertz.bsky.social · 4w agoSending a message to your current audience that you'd prefer to have a different audience results in losing the former without gaining the latter. www.thewrap.com/creative-con...
“Your eye-watering grocery (old timey word I popularized) bill every week is a figment of your imagination planted there by the administration that left office nearly two years ago.” 30% of the country: ”sir yes sir!”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoTrump's Crashout Monday continues: "I hope everyone realizes that price increases throughout America were caused by Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, not by TRUMP.' Even Oil was higher under Biden than it is right now, and we prevented Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon!"
Beside the point but none of them even say this stuff! The GOP just openly lies all the time and nobody cares! The country is falling apart at the seams and the media does nothing. It’s enough to drive anybody insane.
David Corn@davidcorn.bsky.social · 4w agoThis is stochastic terrorism. Ted Cruz is an extremist encouraging violence.
This drives me insane. GOP operatives are not subtle or secretive. Chris Rufo brags about inventing controversies from whole cloth and announces their next move publicly. They publish their plans and follow it to a T, including how to trick dems into going along with it, and they do!
onion person@junlper.beer · 4w agoit’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports
Maybe someone in the US government will write a strongly worded letter.
Stunning no matter how many times I hear it. Trump describes learning about the 9/11 attacks as “an amazing phone call” because it meant his building was now the tallest in Manhattan. Trump has disgustingly been entirely about himself for decades and we elected him to lead the nation twice.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · last mo.This is what Trump did on 9/11.
“Trump proposes colonizing the western hemisphere. Some liberal academics have concerns.”
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · last mo.Biden took the short stairs up to Air Force One instead of the long stairs and it was headline news. Trump publicly fantasizes about conquering neighboring countries and their 170+ million people and the news media will hardly mention it.
Gas prices are higher than they’ve ever been thanks for a pointless war we started for no reason and can’t win, practically no food is safe for consumption, we’re bullying and alienating our closest ally to no benefit, and the senile POTUS spent all weekend posting AI slop. Had enough winning yet?!?
America is ambivalent to children being gunned down at school. Getting better grades doesn’t even make the list.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · last mo.This is demonstrably, measurably improving the health of the people who live there. Most notably, it increases the respiratory *& cognitive* health of children. They literally do better in school. If this country really gave a shit about children, this would be at the top of the public-policy list.
Trump’s promises to restore fiscal order hampered by the fact that he does not actually want to do that
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe NY Times writes that “Trump’s promises to restore fiscal order and reduce the amount of America’s debt burden have been hampered by spending on the Iran war, tax cuts and tariff refunds.” As if it’s just a run of bad luck instead of an ongoing con job against the American people.
The most bonkers part is that one single person of color voted for the most openly racist man on the face of the planet to begin with
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoEnten: "Hispanic men on Trump -- in 2024 he won by 10 points. Look now where his net approval is -- minus 41 points! That is a 51 point switcheroo against the president ... these numbers are bonkers."
USA Today learns how taxes work. I’d rather my tax money don’t go to blowing up schools in Iran, but guess what, they do!
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2mo agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Truly the question of our time. It’s all anybody can talk about.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTrump: "Now we have a big decision to make. Do we take the pavers that are red -- the red, brick pavers -- and do we change them into a granite?"
Wherein the President of the United States cannot think of the word “video”. Perfect brain health sir!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTrump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."
UNPOPULAR OPINION: I would be a billionaire if not for my lack of access to a billion dollars
Max P III@blackballer.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe US would have won this war if physical reality was totally different lol
“They’ll call all democrats communists!!!!” ok, they call fucking Joe Biden a communist. Maybe we shouldn’t be afraid of the republicans screeching about leftists since they do that even when there are no leftists in sight
onion person@junlper.beer · 3mo agoi love how centrists continue to do this thing where they say “if DSA becomes more front and center in the party, republicans will run on that!” as if the right doesn’t just say absolutely anything on and run on shit like peanut the squirrel or litterboxes in school bathrooms
