Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

🇺🇸, a mere 35 years ago, under a GOP president, led a UN-backed coalition to uphold the principle of territorial sovereignty, the bedrock of the post-WWII int'l system. Like threatening to take territory from our allies (🇨🇦 & 🇩🇰/🇬🇱), working to allow 🇷🇺 to violate this should have ended this presidency.
Exclusive: Surrendering land to Russia to end the war is off-limits, Zelensky’s chief negotiator tells Simon Shuster. “As long as Zelensky is president, no one should count on us giving up territory.”

This is a deeply unprofessional and illegal partisan statement from the Trump hack who's currently director of the CIA.
It's also deeply dishonest, because the decision to grant the shooter asylum here was made by the Trump administration.

Just noting that Kinlock Castle came up for sale (again) a couple of months ago: only a complete lunatic would buy it (it's a money pit) but it has a rare Imhof & Mukle orchestrion in need of restoration under the staircase (there are photos in the prospectus) …

All of you know Trump is the US president who surrendered in Afghanistan, right? Made a deal in 2020 cutting out the Afghan govt, let thousands of Taliban fighters out of jail in exchange for nothing.
I know the "everything in 2020 was Biden's fault, not Trump's" rule, I just don't agree with it.

Again, you cannot unplug 1/4-1/5 of an R1 university's budget & expect the same quantity or quality of "things" on campus. The math simply doesn't work. And pretending it does & we can uphold our "core values," & not talking loudly & publicly about how it doesn't, is not a strategy. It's madness.
Here is UW - Madison's budget. Our <largest> funder is the federal government. 25%. It used to be the state. Either way, the university in its current form ceases to exist if these federal cuts really happen. But The. Public. Doesn't. Know. This. And our leaders are absent from the public debate.

To be clear, I think all people who shoot people who aren’t shooting at them are assholes. So that’s every ICE shooter, automatically. But that’s easy, because being in ICE now means you’re an asshole. Murderers & kidnappers=assholes. Remarkably easy moral standard to maintain.
