It's very very strange to be in a situation where Jeanine Pirro is the sane and responsible one!
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 18h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
You almost have to hand it to Trump at this point. He’s figured out how to manipulate world markets by doing nothing more than tweeting bullshit 24/7.

OK. I'll throw away that law degree then.
i do not understand what the non-nefarious use case for this even is
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 6d agoNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images.

It’s literally not possible to have a functioning society, anywhere on earth, where this piece of shit is not imprisoned for life and stripped of all his assets.

it's absolutely mass murder. it is one of the worst atrocities the US has ever committed; racists murdering millions of Black people for fun.
Aaron Huertas@aaronhuertas.bsky.social · 2w agoGross to see a senator skip over the part where the aid was cut off illegally and without warning. Cooking their brains on a right wing owned social media site.
The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.
lowtax speedrun enjoyer@rickywlmsbong.bsky.social · 2w agozohran is a completely normal (mixed-market socialist/new-deal liberal/whatever) and it’s completely frying the brains of people with too much money or whose livelihoods are built on catering to the opinions of people with too much money
the fun thing and problem with Rumors is that it proves you can, in fact, make art good enough to completely justify your life as a messy drug-addled maniac
Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
this is why keeping corruption out of government is not some sideshow, it’s fundamental to effective governance if you cannot trust the people in charge of public health because “they changed their story due to bribes” is a legitimate inference, that is a crisis all on its own
Molly Knight@mollyknight.bsky.social · 2w agoOh! They gave millions to Trump lol. people.com/taylor-farms...
Trump is, to borrow a term, intersectionally awful: His incompetence, bordering on an uncanny anticompetence, in each particular sphere is compounded & exacerbated by his incompetence in all the others.
Elizabeth N. Saunders@profsaunders.bsky.social · 2w agoCan't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

Every day this guy does something like this and every day the same people who dress him up as a terrifying commie destroyer of civilization do a dozen things to sabotage the public good, to murder and destroy and hate and kill, and I can't anymore handle those who won't see the clear difference.
