A big part of the problem - people who think Trump has "business acumen". While he is a very capable conman, and very successful at promoting himself, he has never shown any real ability to run an actual business that does anything meaningful.

Another episode in what's sure to be a long-running series - "I never meant for the leopards to eat MY face":

You are not a bad person who is bad for other people. Nor are you perfect or always the best thing in everyone else's life. You're human. You're a mixed bag, just like me and all the other humans. Grace over guilt. Just do your best today.

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Trump and Musk both have a severe case of Affluenza.

Remember, Trump is a bullshitter. He'll often just spout whatever nonsense wanders through his disordered ignorant mind. The trick is to sort out the random crazy noise from the dangerous crazy shit that he (or the people behind him) are likely to actually try to do.

#MathGeek thought - I'm really interested in the way that the numbers of followers/following/posts can say a lot about an account. If it's 1k/10k/6, they're trawling for followers and I block them. Lately I'm noticing accts with a few hundred of each, close to equal. I think they're my tribe.

Watch Trump & Melania. He waits for her because he needs her to keep his balance climbing the steps. See how he grips her arm. And wow, does she not want to be there. at. all. And then he can't button his overcoat. In fairness, it also looks like Jill gives Joe a bit of help with where to stand.

Another #playlist Features a fabulous band, Southern Avenue, that I discovered not long ago. Their sound is, sort of new Memphis Soul / groove / I never was any good at describing music genres. #MusicSky 🎤🎸🎶 open.spotify.com/playlist/1zV...

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

If they had the guts to be honest, they could've gone with "We Are The Darkness"

Pam Bondi's tie to Trump is simple straight up corruption. She refused to investigate Trump "University" for fraud, right after he donated $25000 to her re-election campaign.

USians don't know that the only unifying bit of Canadian patriotism is, "at least we aren't the U.S."

Oh man. I thought I was special. Turns out they were playing the field.

Getting out of bed in the morning isn't that hard. Not going back to bed at noon is the real challenge.

Any bets on how many times Joe Mazzula is going to use the phrase "his ability to impact the game in different ways" before the season's through? 💚😀☘️🏀 #Celtics

🧵1/9 Remember the 1987 movie "Fatal Attraction?" Glenn Close, a brilliant actress portrayed a psychotic malignant narcisstic woman named Alex who refused to "be ignored?" Our center of political gravity domestically and globally is defined and reflected by psychotic malignant narcissists.
