As an American, I just don’t know who to trust when it comes to my young child’s wellbeing, a pedophile or their pediatrician?

Big banner with a Teddy quote about courage on the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building, headquarters of OPM. Only discrepancy is that the 26th president never said this.
I did the lawyers. I ain't got time for all these members of congress. <ducking>

In the space of two minutes he confused Greenland and Iceland four times by my count. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9mo agoTrump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."
The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.
Would also think now would be a good time for the same media folks who beat the “Biden is old and feeble” drumbeat to do similarly.
Mary L Trump@maryltrump.bsky.social · 9mo agoDonald has been posting unhinged, incoherent ramblings for a decade now, but his recent threats against sovereign nations brings us into totally new and dangerous territory. It’s time to start asking Republicans why they continue to back a man who is so obviously out of his mind.
To quote my brother's award-winning 1999 independent film "Judy Berlin," "There's no sub to it. You're all liminal."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9mo agoTrump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"
It cannot be repeated enough that branding immigrants as criminals responsible for bringing social ills to the U.S. is as American as apple pie. Look at this cartoon from 1903. Those rats in the water are the ancestors of Greg Bovino, Stephen Miller and Howard Lutnick, among many others.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9mo agoTrump as he flips through mugshots: "24 convictions. 24 times! Convicted. Not charges. These are convictions."
We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Six reasons why Trump’s attack on Venezuela was very wrong:
I would pay cash money to watch someone ask Trump to explain the Monroe Doctrine.

Watching this happen in real-time is...something else.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Miller knows exactly what he’s doing. The last couple of takes — including the Sinatra/ Martin one —have been so epically ahistorical that it’s hard to believe he really doesn’t know. (Even though he went to Duke. 😜) www.irishstar.com/news/politic...
Stephen Miller rewrites history in wild rant as he melts down about immigration
Miller has largely been credited with spearheading the Trump administration's aggressive immigration policy

Yes exactly. That’s the thing that’s always differentiated us, we’re the only “Christian nation.” Yup.
