Our government has become so corrupt that there's nobody left to investigate the corruption
Ossoff: "Americans aren't a race. We're a people, united not by ethnicity but by shared convictions. That is what makes us exceptional and a beacon to the world. This is what small men like Donald Trump and Mike Collins will never understand."
Good Morning ☀️ Alan decided, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #AngryBirds, any bird with an angry face. No need to imagine, the anger was audible from quite a distance away. Snowy Egrets in a hunting frenzy Bombay Hook NWR, 7 August 2026 #ECK #photography #birds
He yells at female reporters, (sorry… Black female reporters) and NO ONE in the White House Press Corps will attempt to defend the women. That’s how low we have sunk.
If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.
I don’t believe for one second that Trump has suffered a stroke, much less multiple strokes. I have known people who suffered strokes, and afterwards none of them could walk up and down the steps of a large airplane, or get up in front of a crowd and make a speech.
Trump: So Please raise your right hand: I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States Crowd: I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States… Trump: I'm going to try and cheat like hell like they do.
Donald Trump displays a sustained and baffling level of stupidity that goes far beyond the occasional mistake, and makes one wonder how he has avoided wandering off into oncoming traffic, or tasting bits of broken glass.
"After the latest update, the DNC "had $2 million of debt compared to the Republican National Committee’s more than $128 million on hand." (Those are not good numbers.)
It’s Gone from Bad to Worse to Perilous at the DNC
No money, more problems.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences
"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."
Ossoff: "After years of this president trashing our allies, we learned today that the Danish govt was preparing military options to defeat a potential American invasion of Greenland just months ago. The president has treated our allies like they don't matter then demanded they come to his aid."
Trump finally discovers the value of allies… but only having started a war he has no idea how to end. This is why past presidents have tried to win allied support in advance. But Trump couldn’t be bothered.
He’s flailing. He’s leading the country—and the world—toward catastrophe. When incompetence mixes with arrogance, the result is dangerous for everyone.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.
