The things that make us great make us terrible. His message discipline was amazing over the past two years. But we can see how that virtue turns into a vice at moments like this. He can't adjust.

I have no idea what Trump’s relationship is with the Russian government. However if the Russians were able to place an agent at the top of the US government, that agent would be hard pressed to do more damage to US society and international relationships than Trump is doing now.

“What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us." This is the most extraordinary statement by a Canadian prime minister in the history of this country. The Trump administration is at war with Canada.

The "make that make sense" with the pause is as close as you can get to calling him a Russian agent without saying it, and I wish more leaders would do it.

I don't think there's precedent for this level of open corruption at the federal level, certainly not in the last 100+ years.

Back when I used to talk to Kanye, he told me it was Rick Rubin who convinced him to support Candace Owens and Donald Trump. Tom Morello and other music biz folks also confirmed it for me. Rick Rubin is MAGA and has been using his clout to try to convince others to be. allhiphop.com/news/rick-ru...

Trudeau just referred to Trump as "Donald" and said, looking directly into the camera, that "this is a very dumb thing to do". I never thought I'd see a Canadian PM speaking to an American president like this, but here we are.

The whole "we have no choice but to put tariffs on Canada because they won't meet our non-existent demands on non-existent fentanyl exports" saga has basically been the diplomatic equivalent of Mr. Burns going "Mattingly I thought I told you to shave those sideburns"

“She says it was like a horror movie. They were screaming in different rooms” I would argue no one should travel to the U.S. right now because it’s important to vote with your wallet. Don’t spend tourist dollars there Another reason? The threat of being detained by ICE. It’s not safe in America

I'd say I can't believe how stupid Wall St. was in backing Trump, telling themselves he didn't mean the stuff he kept saying, he's like me, that's just for the rubes, etc. Except I saw them do a similarly stupid-but-convenient groupthink with housing can only go up, derivatives have defeated risk.

Trump has confirmed the 25% tariffs are coming tomorrow for Canada and Mexico and said there is no more room for a deal to avoid these. I would note that tomorrow is also the State of Union and he wants to be able to have big, sweeping and tough-guy things to say. #elbowsup

Every time someone says the midterms will save America, I always say, I do not presume free elections. These idiot vandals are taking an axe to how government works, often illegally, at every level, in order to benefit themselves. Why would they stop at rigging elections?

As a cishet dude, when I see a Dem ditch trans rights, it sends a message: you ain't got no fight in you, no principles, just another empty suit. Think I'm some too-online outlier? Go ask your expensive consultants why people don't bother to vote. It's because they know you're all empty suits.

In advance of the Oscars tonight: a lot of comedy heroes let you down. They become unfunny/bitter/closed minded. Conan is the exception. He has grown & evolved & is funnier than he’s ever been. He’s also an extremely kind and lovely human. Just a sincere post to say: Conan rules.

JD Vance isn’t just hiding from the American people, he spent our tax dollars to rent out the entirety of Sugarbush Mountain all weekend and now he isn’t even using it. Like the wasteful, cowardly little toad he is. He should not be able to enjoy anything for the next 4 years.
