Unexpected funny (and sad) candidate responses to a questionnaire... Reminds me of the saying "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt." eedition.newsobserver.com/shortcode/LM...

I really donโt understand why the mainstream media doesnโt show this. If it were a one time occurrence I could understand them not showing it, but this regularly occurs.

Yes, as every one knows, meditation and water are wedded for ever.
The current president of the United States of America is a liar.
The current president of the United States of America is a malignant narcissist, and a liar.
Resign! It's a win-win. The SCOTUS has already granted him immunity from nearly everything, and in the short time he's been back, he's managed to grift his way to more money he can spend. Lord knows he doesn't give a flying **ck about anyone else.
The Daily Beast@thedailybeast.bsky.social ยท 3mo agoTrumpโs aides reportedly admit that their boss has little interest in traveling across the country to prop up weak GOP candidates for the midterms.
We need to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed. It's OK to say, "I don't know."
Honestly, this is like a Monty Python skit. She's swaying to her own private head music, Brainworms is spouting insane nonsense as usual and yer man is snoring in the middle. This is the US government.
If anyone is surprised that he would sacrifice the WH Press and WH Staff, Iโve got a bridge youโll be interested in buying.

My simple rule: 99% of what Trump says is bull*hit.
Mark Hamill@markhamillofficial.bsky.social ยท 3mo agoWouldn't it be easier & far less time consuming to just report when he actually tells the truth?

Good point, but there's still value in preventing Blanche from being appointed and simply notching a win against Trump. Little wins can build momentum to bigger wins.
Quinta Jurecic@qjurecic.bsky.social ยท 3mo agothere's a weird charade-like quality to the whole blanche thing: a) he can likely continue in the role even if he's not confirmed (as trump says here); b) any future president could simply disregard the immunity agreement anyway
Whether itโs a morning walk through the trees, a weekend hike, or simply taking a moment to slow down and appreciate the outdoors, nature has a way of grounding us and helping us reconnect with what matters most.
So we've had confirmed this week by this Supreme Court that Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist and a king, but he can't tell Americans born in America that they don't have the right to be Americans.
The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can โclean houseโ every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

Marty Lederman@martylederman.bsky.social ยท 5mo agoI'm SHOCKED--SHOCKED!--to find that Stephen Miller is proposing suspension of habeas and invoking the Insurrection Act in here! Seriously, this isn't a story. It's merely a leak by one or more radical lawyers to burnish their "I wasn't the craziest one in the room" bona fides for future employment.
