He should take a stealth bomber too. Why not? Maybe a nuke.
Liz Dye@lizdye.bsky.social · 2h agoNYT says Trump is going to take the Qatari bribe jet AND one of the old Air Force Ones when he leaves office. He can put the broken down old one in his presidential library and do what he likes with the new one we just paid billions of tax dollars to retrofit. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...

There’s only been one date since September 11th so disastrous & infamous that you don’t need to add the year for everyone to know what events you’re talking about, and that’s January 6th. Imagine winning public office in this country after pardoning people for 9/11. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...
Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers (Gift Article)
The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · 2d agoThese guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.
Also, and even worse in my view, "how is it legal" assumes the premise that Trump's corruption and self-dealing is in fact legal.
What about whether Babe Ruth existed? Whether birds are real? Whether the Continental Army took over the airports?
@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze)@newsjennifer.bsky.social · 2d agoAre you kidding me with this? THESE are the pressing questions of the day right now for the lead anchor at CBS NEWS? Covid & Joe Biden are his top 2 before anything Trump? Come the f*ck on. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Mike Boylan-Kolchin@mbkplus.bsky.social · 2d agoA lot of the MAGA crowd wants the US to essentially become like the UAE, where there’s an enormous foreign workforce who have substantially fewer rights than citizens and are subject to awful working conditions. It’s a fever dream, but it’s their fever dream.
It's fun to watch their brains tie themselves in knots then watch the frayed ends fight each other.
What the fuck is wrong with our sports people? They are going on dumb podcasts run by evil people.

Will Sommer@willsommer.bsky.social · 2d agoTransportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...
It's insane that the president expects to be personally consulted about a single charge of felony vandalism!
Helen Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · 2d agolol "The president is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend... "The president did not know beforehand that she was going to do that.” www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...
Is the invisible accordion really just the Trump version of hand flapping?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
The answer, of course, is yes. You’d do it the same way he did. And the way Paul Vaughn did it. You Sur, allege “weaponization,” and wait for the DOJ to offer you a “settlement.” Everyone know Trump did it. No reason he can’t have friends do it again.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoQ: Are there other avenues you could have supporters get paid potentially if it's not the anti-weaponization fund? TRUMP: Who are you with? Q: MS NOW, sir TRUMP: Who? Q: MS NOW TRUMP: What a terrible show that is. They have the worst people on that show
Has anyone asked them... Wait. Don't ask them anything. That would only make it worse. But I was gonna say that I'm sort of curious why they think someone would make Babe Ruth up. Do they imagine there a prize for fooling the Hall of Fame or something?
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 3d agoThe whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA
There’s nothing you can write, signed or unsigned, that can stop a lawless, lying president from pardoning himself, his friends & family, or dropping/“settling” cases against them. I guess it’s nice to demand it anyway, so there’s something people remember later as a broken promise. But that’s all.
Don’t lose sight of the fact that you’re eventually out of here, regardless.

That’s a pretty good encapsulation of Trump, actually. “He grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoSen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
So what am I supposed to do to make big bucks during Trump’s Iran war market manipulation?
