Trump on Venezuela: "They had the tragedy the other day with the problem, as you know. That was a terrible problem. The uhhh, earthquake I guess you would call it." (The quake was in June)
If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.
Ultimately, Trump yielded, positioning Iran to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran will likely extend negotiations until his departure from office. It’s a regrettable loss of American lives and resources.

This doesn’t bode well for centrism. 😞 I’m glad to have remained no party preference for the last ten years and will likely continue in that vein. Such marked swings of the pendulum usually don’t last. It just means it will swing back even more next time.

Imagine believing Trump believes in the rule of law...
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 21h agoSusan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

🤡's uglification of DC (at other ppl's expense, of course) is ongoing & can't even stay on course thanks to Grampy's fits. "it seems the former slumlord may be finding it increasingly difficult to manifest his visions of grandeur" How long before the 'broken down truck parked on lawn' phase?

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"

11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.
Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
