Add on that the random guy is a US Olympian of all things
@redstateprof.bsky.social · 9h agoLet's all sit with the fact that the president wants to jail some random person who is self-evidently innocent. It's not surprising, but it's amazing that much of the media is almost completely disinterested in this fact.
Isn’t this what they did with Kash the other day when he thought he was called in to get fired? They just gave him some fill in the dots conspiracy homework. I wonder what nonsense job they’re giving Pirro?
Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · 2d agoMy dad made us drive back to the hardware store when I was five after I explained that I took some gum that was unguarded next to the checkout lady.
FinTwitter@fintwitter.bsky.social · 2d agoA LendingTree survey indicates that 30% of Americans acknowledge past shoplifting activity.
What in the world has gotten into you people? Did AOC endorse any bad policies? It’s okay to meet with folks who (1) make up a sliver of the electorate that aren’t necessarily committed partisans, (2) are disaffected with MAGA, and (3) with whom you find some common ground without violating values.
Can’t wait to see what crazy scheme he will come up with to pay for this (aside from dodging it for the rest of his life)
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2d agoGeorge Santos traded on a contract on Kalshi titled “Who will attend the State of the Union?,” and specifically traded on the question of his own attendance, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Read more: https://wapo.st/3TwYLwK
if there’s anything I would want to drill into the public consciousness it’s that there are almost always like a dozen ways to approach any given problem and some of them will be more effective than others and we have to stop acting like the questions around it are against fixing the issue
I lost a friend who died of altitude sickness after summiting Kilimanjaro just after his 40th birthday. Haven’t seen him in a few years, but he was a good person who genuinely wanted to help people. What a kick to the gut. It’s caused me to reach out to mutuals who went through the same program.
Don’t look at me. I voted for Carter.
Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com · last wk.The City of St. Paul has hired an outside law firm to investigate sexual harassment allegations against Mayor Kaohly Her, including claims that she directed inappropriate sexual comments toward Police Chief Axel Henry and other city employees.
She’s a very unusual person in real life. I remember seeing she went to hear Roger Stone speak at an event while working in the DOJ. She posted adoringly about the guy. I cannot stress enough how nuts she is.
Jen Bendery@jbendery.bsky.social · 2w agoBarely a week after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) unexpectedly died, Senate Republican leaders are teeing up a vote as soon as today on a Trump judicial nominee who called the late senator “a weak-ass $$&&!” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Is that now why we’re blowing up the fishermen? So people turn from fish to beef? I don’t follow.
Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 2w agoWe have now reached the beef and fentanyl cartel stage of the Trump presidency.
The only reason to watch is in case “it” happens, but I don’t like the man or the odds.
Think. About. This. The U.S. Treasury receives the revenue from most of Venezuela’s exports, then disburses it gradually to Venezuela through the country’s private banks…. Mr. Rubio and his team set the conditions on what that money can be spent on, and by whom. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...

Just want to go out on a limb and say that my prediction about McConnell was that he was undead and after that picture a lot of you owe me a sincere “you were right”
I certainly burst out laughing when I got to the punchline.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoGREG KELLY: Do you think we know the whole story about Lindsey Graham's death? TRUMP: Well, I *think* we do. We have great doctors and they talked about a certain part of his body literally blew up.
I assume JD Vance has defiantly followed on with his own threats to Iran that he would be willing to give them even more than 1000 missiles if they were to Mitch McConnell our dear President. What else do you guys need over there?
I get that it’s funnier for the AI guys to get dinged for shamelessly stealing tech, but also, it’s funny for Apple to be upset about somebody doing this after they stole Massimo’s blood oxygen tech in a hilarious scheme.
Joe Dudek@joedudekjd.bsky.social · 4w agoHehe
To me, the biggest McConnell mystery is that Trump hasn’t said something batshit insane about it. It’s a big story that doesn’t involve Trump, and it’s a weird secret too! Get in their big fella! Make it about you! What are you waiting for?
when you become president they tell you about the Secret Nations
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoTrump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"
To be clear, Moscow Mitch McConnell is one of the most evil corrupt immoral soulless beings in world history and the current fascist MAGA takeover of the United States is in large part because of him, so regardless of his health issues, that is how I’ll always remember him.
Well, we may have lost but at least we look like we cheated
Is there a contractual agreement where McConnell’s staffers employed at the time of his death have to be interred with him?
Joe Sonka 😐@joesonka.lpm.org · 4w agoResponding to "reports" about Mitch McConnell's health, his spokesperson just put out a new statement highlighting other people's tweets writing that they have talked to him (and he's very much alive).
if i were participating in a world soccer tournament i would simply not have accepted a tainted gift from the trickster king of the fae realm
