Everything about this interaction is horrify, hawking merch, "always say yes to the president", etc. But this may be the ultimate "imagine if Obama/Biden did it" scene. Likely literally try and imagine Obama hocking merch in the oval office 🤣 bsky.app/profile/atru...

So Trump never really had an issue with criminals entering the country; he just wanted to skim a little off the top when they did. bsky.app/profile/atru...

A remarkable piece of journalism (Oct 2024) from ProPublica, which had uncovered this video from Russell Vought, now OMB director. "We want to put them in trauma," he said, of the federal workers he planned to villainize. www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Yes it's a bit uncouth but reading these articles about Trump voters who didn't think he would do all the things he said he was going to do (or at least not to them!) is part of what will get me through.

Yes who could have predicted 😅 (side note, it's truly bizarre how people have completely forgotten about his first term! We already saw this show. Maybe RFK will get to the bottom of how Covid manipulated people's brains into forgetting Trump was already president) bsky.app/profile/ater...

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."
