Antipartisan. Data over Opinions. Sometimes sarcastic. Twitter ex-pat with the same handle & prolly the same snark. 😏
For the scant few who may have noticed I became scarce on this platform the past couple months... My mother entered hospice, and passed away last week. Hospice was a light at the end of a long tunnel, but I recognized it as an oncoming train. Next month is the ten year anniversary of Dad's death.
If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.
PSA: Last night wasn’t Trump telling you how the 2020 election was stolen, it was Trump showing you he very much plans to steal the 2026 election
Come, One and All! Witness the Amazing Disappearing Legislative Branch! (For more details, please contact the White House).
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoQ: Trump says hostilities with Iran are back on. Is it time to consider an AUMF vote? And when it comes to tolls, is that really proper? The administration previously said there shouldn't be a charge MIKE JOHNSON: I'm gonna let the White House answer to that
If Graham's last words in public include "I can't die now" then we've already maxed out on irony for the month and will have to deficit borrow from August to get by

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social rather than find the courage to confront the Feds, you set the State Police on your constituents. You abandoned the women, children and men held in a concentration camp who are even now being abused by ICE. THERE IS NO COMING BACK FROM THIS Ms Sherrill!!

When you bulldoze a building, plaster tends to crumble. The man has no concept of interconnected things. What you tear up has ripple effects; an analogy of his entire presidency. If Trump weren't such a shit person we might take his words more seriously.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoTrump describes the White House as a "shit house" when he moved in and then adds, "the big thing is we're building a ballroom in the back"
so basically: -the FCC made up a rule violation it accused ABC of -then worked with Trump-friendly local broadcast affiliates (seeking merger approval at the FCC) to make it look like everybody else had complied I'm sure defending that will go great in court!

Yo. Lil' Marco. Mr President Doctor Trump Jesus is gonna fire you if you keep calling him out like this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoRubio: "You've got friends who have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to him to see these people are abused in this way and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it. This is a vicious regime."

Always a good day to tell toxic people they're being purged by their own beliefs. Hopefully it's true, although clearly some do procreate. 🤔
I like that Trump finally settled on the ballroom to replace his wall as "the stupid thing we don't need that he won't get built" this term. Much like the war he started & the faked assassination attempts, this is not distracting the irrelevant from him being all over the Epstein files.
Scott MacFarlane@macfarlanenews.bsky.social · 3mo agoOVERNIGHT: Trump Admin files latest court motion in support of White House ballroom It reads like a Trump Truth Social post, with random capitalization, accusations the plaintiffs are "very bad for our country", suffer "Trump Derangement Syndrome", etc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
At least "don't investigate the people who tried to assassinate me" is on brand for the guy who said covid case counts go down if you stop reporting them & who said there's no real reason to expose the Epstein files. He's a caricature of what the perfect opposite of transparency might look like.
Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 3mo agoProf Pape is right: Trump has repeatedly made clear he wants no special or independent inquiry into what happened in Butler, PA. And that's just weird. About as weird as the multiple reports from last night suggesting members of Team Trump had foreknowledge of an incident at the dinner
I'm not watching but apparently Trump is pitching his Ballroom. Seriously people everything this POS does is a grift.
Oh thank goodness. I might've gone another three passes before finding out they weren't a serious person. 😅
You know it's bad when he's insane rage tweeting at 10am instead of 2am. 😬
