There are still some lucky people out there who have never been entangled in a relationship with a malignant narcissist and don’t understand what drives people to support them. This anecdote about Pirro and Burgum is illustrative. Trump carefully curates his cabal of people who compete for approval
![[Excerpt of transcript from The Daily Blast podcast from The New Republic, Featuring host Greg Sargent and guest firmer federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade ]
Sargent: I want to bring up something that Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said about this thing, because I think it really gets at the corrupt nature of it. After Piro dropped this case, Burgum went out on Twitter and contested her dropping it.
He said, "the evidence is clear, vandals have repeatedly caused damage to the Reflecting Pool. We provided the U.S. Attorney's office with expert and eyewitness testimony," et cetera, et cetera, right? What drives me crazy about that is Burgum, who is not Trump and presumably not crazy the way Trump is, is willing to attack Piro for the act of following the facts and the law, and willing to attack Piro for not putting Trump above those considerations of facts and law.
Trump's lackeys will sell each other out for a tiny bit of good favor from the despot. And of course that's always fleeting, and it'll be followed by him turning on them at some point anyway. You can kind of see how the corruption seeps down from the top in that one Doug Burgum tweet.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htzpflmm4qous45q7i4oj7pe/bafkreifdxggd3hwicwhkpybev6o6k7cvm7lwt5qhjfwfg4xodusif5byxq)
I used to think leaving the workforce to raise my kids was going to make me unemployable. But given the rampant slopification, there could be some serious contract cake to be made cleaning up the mess. A cottage industry waiting to be born.

Hey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.
Fun fact: The last time a Cabinet pick failed on the Senate floor was 1989. John Tower. No Cabinet pick has been defeated on the Senate floor in Susan Collins’ nearly 30 years as a senator.

World Politics Review@wpr.bsky.social · 21h agoFour years after being extradited to the U.S. on drug trafficking charges, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández is home again after a pardon from Donald Trump—and is already rebuilding his old political machine, WPR columnist James Bosworth (@bloggingsbyboz.bsky.social) writes.
I would never willingly buy a car that does this. If I bought a car with a screen and it started doing this, I promise you it would be returned to the dealer that day. Absolutely Not. Never, fuck you, I’d rather take public transportation.

We don’t have to let these companies continue to exist. If people had the will, they could be prosecuted out of existence and banned.

Conservative women please hear me: If the men in your life talk like this about any woman, they’ll talk like this about you too. You might think you are exempt from being disregarded by them because you faithfully espouse their conservative beliefs. You are not. They don’t value you either.

Been waiting for this to bubble up to the surface. Again, any other time in American history when we had functioning news media, this would have been a five alarm scandal. There would be senate hearings. There would be consequences for everyone in the chain of command involved in this.

No Mr. Cornyn. It is not all you can do. It is all you are willing to do. It is all you want to do. Because you’ve all decided you want to keep him in office for God only knows what reasons known only to you.

At this point, Thom Tillis has nothing left to lose but his principles, so he made sure to toss them overboard too.
