If you can watch this and not feel sick, you may want to check your soul. Trump will betray Ukraine again and appease his owner, Putin.
Trump on Ukraine: "They may be Russian some day, or they may not be Russian someday. But we're gonna all this money in there, and I say I want it back."

Trump is not only a tyrant; he’s a sadist.
President Donald Trump's administration evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice on Tuesday — not even enough time to gather her personal effects — according to two people familiar with the incident.

So, now Elon Musk is lying about The Bulwark @thebulwark.bsky.social and Bill Kristol @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social.
Elon’s making up and insane conspiracy theory about @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and USAID that is all the rage over on MAGA Twitter. I break down the anatomy of conspiracy theory and show how none of it, not even a whiff of it, is true. It’s just how authoritarians play the game.

This is evil. It puts innocent lives in danger. And the neo-Brownshirts will be harassing many American health workers — most of them Black. The devil is laughing in hell as this Administration does his bidding.
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

As I said on Serious Trouble, a significant amount of the Trump executive orders and related documentation read like they were generated by a ChatGPT bought at Radio Shack.
I would add “by an incel who has a tattoo that says ‘THE LITTLE MERMAID IS WHITE’”

Those are full of typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors. Either holy shit for how poorly wrought they are or very bad fakes.

If the devil in hell wished to find a more perfect vessel to divide and destroy America, he couldn’t have done better than Donald Trump — a toxic brew of arrogance, ignorance, incompetence, mendacity, narcissism, and sadism.

While we were enjoying the weekend, apparently Elon Musk has been harvesting all of our most sensitive public information and stealing the keys to our nation’s economy. This is flagrantly illegal and it seems not one Republican has the spine to take on the world’s richest man.
