I’ll put it this way: over 60% of his term is left.
The Daily Beast@thedailybeast.bsky.social · 2d agoThe president is having trouble cleaning up his own messes, according to political analyst David Rothkopf.
Republicans know all of this, do nothing. They might as well feature Miller on recruitment posters: “Got crime? The GOP wants YOU”
Democracy Now!@democracynow.org · 3d agoRepublican Congressmember Max Miller of Ohio is facing allegations of domestic abuse as he runs for reelection. Mother Jones obtained around 2,000 pages of court filings and police reports pertaining to Miller, which include allegations dating back to high school.
If Mitch is not with us mentally, consciously, or physically, is this not illegal?

You’d think they would want to avoid super-glueing “Trump” to “derangement.” But they seem unable to stop themselves. Clearly a scream into the mental abyss.

Ashmolean Museum, Oxford@ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social · 2d agoThis ring, featuring a fragment of gold-glass, depicts a roaring lion. At only 1.8 cm across, the animal is depicted in extraordinary detail. Roman gold-glass images began as parts of glass bowls. Images were made by engraving a picture onto a sheet of gold leaf.
Every conversation I’ve had with my MAGA relatives for the last ten years distilled into three sentences.
Rabid, incompetent, idiots is clearly a feature of MAGA leadership and Trump. The fish rots from the head. Of course that’s who will be recruited, not to mention those who will be appointed to leadership positions. It’s a clean sweep in plain sight and I could name names but why bother.

If, with all that's going on and all that's not going on, and all that's going to come out of current criminal investigations and all that's already known, and the loss of our allies plus the unnecessary loss of our loved ones yet we still don't free ourselves from him, we don't deserve to.
WTF is his problem? They’re BRONZE statues.Why does everything he’s near have to be covered in tacky Home Depot gold spray paint?

… And while he’s renovating Dulles (and taking a big cut of the dough), he’ll casually slap his name on the airport. (Palm Beach just isn’t grand enough)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7d agoTrump: "The last major airport built in the US was Denver in 1995. It hasn't gotten very great reviews. So we're doing something with Dulles that's gonna make it I think maybe the top anywhere in the world. By the way, Palm Beach is gonna be one of the top too."
Please, please take away his credit cards. Put him on a short leash (i.e. small, strict budget).
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7d agoTrump: "Cost was no object, unfortunately or fortunately"
He wanted to cancel Biden’s pardons until he realized (1) the pardons he grants could be canceled, (2) his own pardon could be canceled, and (3) his pardon revenue stream might be severely affected. Can’t command millions if people think their pardons will just be nixed.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7d agolol of course Trump is pro-pardon: "Fauci was pardoned by Biden, and I respect that"
“They’re eating the cats! They’re eating the dogs!” redux.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7d agoTrump: "They're coming from Africa, they're coming from South America, they're coming from different parts of Asia, and they're invading Europe. They're invading Europe! It's an invasion. And the UK is a prime suspect."

Why bother calling your Senator and telling them to vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General even though Trump will keep him in the job regardless? Because history should record the NO vote. You’ll want it on the record that we rejected him. That’s why.
