I still cannot wrap my head around this. A primary electorate so racist and disengaged that they voted for the whitest name available over the Trump-endorsed guy with a name that suggested a person of color.

i’d love for someone to go out to “real america” and start asking questions like “how do you think americans ended up with the most corrupt and unpopular president ever?”
This is basically the implicit argument to trump made about January 6. I haven't been punished for it so it can't have been that bad

not unlike russia’s war in ukraine, a lot of energy has been spent trying to prevent american’s from feeling the war at home, so it shouldn’t be any surprise they’d try to pin the blame elsewhere. i think the surprise is that iran would retaliate on american soil
Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d agoI can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

Trump 9 points underwater *IN TEXAS.* It's literally impossible to tell how the media would cover a Dem President with equivalently low approval ratings (because there's never been one before) but you'd be hearing LAME DUCK every 15 seconds

the lead anecdote in this story is about a mother who was reportedly tased and arrested at a football game in 2020 for not wearing a mask, and for some reason, this is the fault of anthony fauci and never, ever the cops, who were powerless to not do that

hundreds of millions got the COVID vaccine and there were so few problems that the main form of criticism turned into "friend-of-a-friend" hearsay stories, so this guy can't actually cite an actual case but knows his base will think they know people who know people this may have happened to
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Sen. Roger Marshall: "Who didn't have a friend who took this vaccine and had some time of complication? A stroke, a blood clot, a young man getting some type of heart inflammation. That's what destroyed the trust in the American people for our government."

A good design decision to put the domestic money at the bottom, so you can see that it — putatively Trump’s real business genius — barely moved at all.
