I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’ It’s our duty to know.
I wish I could muster sympathy for these assholes, but I can’t. They’re getting a taste of the reality the rest of us saw ten years ago. They own this. How does it feel to be a piece “of meat,” you MAGA fucks?
Years of Trump Support Came Undone in 15 Minutes in an Airport.
The case represents a new front in President Trump’s mass deportation drive: arrests at airports of people who have active immigration cases and no criminal history.

I can only hope this is the kiss of death for Infantino. I’m sure UEFA and the other European stakeholders who loathe Infantino will appreciate Trump’s input.

In this particular case, it’s not a compliment to the Supreme Leader of Iran that the President of the United States is his ethical and moral inferior.
Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social · 2mo agoIran’s Supreme Leader is correct. Sadly. Trump’s signature is worthless, he has zero credibility on the world stage, the entire world laughs at him, and he lies as he breathes. Someone else is gonna have to end this war because Trump is incapable of it.👇
christ, our political press are the most pathetic people on earth.

If the Baltimore Orioles were to win a World Series -- a moment I've waited on for four decades now -- and showed up as a team to grip and grin with a corrupt, racist, pedophilic narcissist who debases our republic at every turn, I would never be seen at Camden Yards again. Fuck the L.A. Dodgers.
Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*
This opinion, issued this morning — which excoriates Trump, Blanche, Woodward, and the bullshit “Plaintiffs” counsel in the slush fund case, and subjects them to sanctions and injunctive relief — does make me proud to be a lawyer. It tells *the truth.* storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

I got no particular beef with Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce, but this is gross. It’s a display of decadence that is very America, 2026.

This is really striking. It really is a gratuitous middle finger to the trans community by a horrible, hateful old man whose goal now seems to be as corrosively ugly as possible as he prepares to leave this world (let that day be soon).
Can you imagine allowing these words to come out of your mouth? Can you?
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 3mo ago9 years ago, NBC gave this woman $20 million a year to host a morning talk show and be one of the top faces of its news division.
When I read District Judge Reyes’ opinion earlier this year excoriating Trump and Noem for their blatant racism in this case, I remember thinking that even the Supreme Court — even *this* Court — can’t possibly whitewash something this overt. I was unbelievably fucking wrong. There is no bottom.
Jameel Jaffer@jameeljaffer.bsky.social · 3mo agoCompare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.
And Justice Sotomayor goes there in her Al Otro Lado dissent (where SCOTUS allows the Trump admin to nullify asylum guarantees if they stop people at/outside the border): "The current asylum system developed in response to the international moral reckoning that followed the Holocaust...."
He started it. He fucked it all up. He lied & lied & lied & lied about it. He made them stronger. He made us weaker. He surrendered. He lost. And then he gave them billions & billions & billions. MAGA, MAGA.
