So says the person who thinks a cognitive test is an IQ test. Can he even draw a clock face? We don’t know.
Trump: "I look at Crockett -- this is a very low IQ person. And I look at somebody who comes from Somalia where they don't have anything. All they have is crime."

And Jesus said, thou shall not feed the poor and the hungry from your bounty because you must build ballrooms with lots of gold to honor the Lord while remaining liquid in case Argentina needs another bailout. - Book of Trump, 11:06. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

Aren’t they arguing that Biden’s pardons are invalid bc he had no idea who he was pardoning?? So…
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

If the Epstein ballroom is ever finished I suggest demolishing it by charging $5 per swing of a sledge hammer. That should be enough pay for a sensible remodel. I would like 1,000 swings please.

Agree? I do!
If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days.

1) Let them eat ballroom

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

Smdh at Sinclair. THIS is exactly why so many of us have for years and decades spoken up against media consolidation.
Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.

Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said.

Good.
1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC.

If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

If you disagree with Disney's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel there are a lot of things to avoid in protest.

Anything "Disney"

Pixar: Toy Story, Cars, Inside Out etc.

Marvel
Lucasfilm: Star Wars, Indiana Jones.

20th Century Fox

ABC: Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family, Lost, soaps, reality
