Trumpy sucks monkey nutts.

They’re so incompetent that they have to create a fictional world just to feel like heroes. In the real world, they could never measure up not in intellect, bravery, not in honor, and definitely not in dignity. The only place they can thrive is in the dystopian fantasies they invent for themselves

Ty for the gift link, this was a good read

Just because he’s a serial liar doesn’t mean this is a new era of post truth politics. Stop romanticizing craven opportunism.

The words you are looking for are LIES and LIARS. Put down the thesaurus and stand up for TRUTH.

joeknight.bsky.social•6 days ago

Would not be here without capitulation from the media.

tcar2000.bsky.social•6 days ago

💯%!

joeknight.bsky.social•6 days ago

The media showed they wanted access and now the sword they swung will close some outlets down in the next 4 years. Which major outlet gets shutdown first?

tcar2000.bsky.social•6 days ago

No idea. They might not shut down, though. They might simply capitulate to Trump. That’s a popular move.

If you do not choose to be happy no one can make you happy.

📌 to read when slightly less overwhelmed (or at least fed and hydrated)

martingiannini.bsky.social•6 days ago

Uhhh that’s a lot of very flowery and side steppy language to describe a president who is brazenly deceiving the public to illegally create false pretext for transformatively radical policies.

martingiannini.bsky.social•6 days ago

What is it with the headline and lede line writers at the Times? How do they continually make the most horrifyingly illegal, dangerous, and grotesquely unethical behavior seem paltry and benign?

As a writer, does it ever make you mad? That your work is being serially presented as less than it is?

kitncaboodle.bsky.social•6 days ago

And the Times is complicit in spreading his lies instead of calling them out.

jerseybeachlover.bsky.social•6 days ago

LIES the correct word is LIES.

putabirdonit.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hello? 2016 is calling. They want their headline back.

Someone is catching on.

Prayer for Trump

This has always been his method, always.

Neat. So I'm sure your publication is going to come out and apologize for all the sanewashing of his lies that the times repeatedly labelled as "divisive", "challenging" or any other word but "lie" throughout the campaign, right?

I'll hold.

johnpontoon.bsky.social•6 days ago

The gift of helping Trump get elected is more than I ever asked for from the NYT.

chriroch.bsky.social•6 days ago

It is amazing that the literal NYTimes, paper of record, is just going to say "guess it's. Post-Truth era now, no way to figure things out. Crafty old Trump really go is all bamboozled"

Retire, there is absolutely someone who can figure it out

raidersyourface.bsky.social•6 days ago

Republican voters are so fkg stupid that they'll believe anything their masters say, no matter how blatantly, obviously false.

dominiondem.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's the greatest and only asset of Trump and the Republican Party. They are GREAT at lying ... creating false narratives and they know how to package their lies via social media platforms.

They can lie and attack, but they CAN'T govern!

a3beljaars.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is his lying press speaker, spreading lies through incompetent 'journalists'.

animalspirit16.bsky.social•6 days ago

WTH is this “Many remarks like that could be construed as exaggerations for rhetorical effect. Other falsehoods emanating from the administration have appeared to be misstatements of facts, perhaps unintentional.”

news4dto.bsky.social•6 days ago

Foundry not machine

janelleerickson.bsky.social•6 days ago

Every time a journalist uses the term “misinformation” instead of just saying “lies,” a little part of me dies

joeknight.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's part of what has helped trump. The media's ungodly reluctance to say the truth and provide misinformation in reporting his lies.

edhirsch.bsky.social•6 days ago

Now that the corrupt Corporate Mainstream Media & Press are including "The Gulf Of America" on their broadcasts and in their newspapers, do you really think they are going to pursue Hegseth's war-plan texting crimes without their stories first being approved by Trump?
