“As signs of aging emerge…”??? He looks like if Emperor Palpatine drank from the wrong grail.
Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)

This year I resolve to spend a lot more time pointlessly offended and nitpicking the faults of others while pointedly ignoring my own.

Exclusive | As Signs of Aging Emerge, Trump Responds With Defiance
In an interview, President Trump—the oldest man to assume the office—said he has eschewed some advice from his doctors and regrets getting advanced imaging.

Oh you think we need placebo-controlled, double-blinded RCTs for every vaccine test?

Okay tell you what. I’ll entertain that sincerely if you can name even *one* other kind of clinical trial design, and explain cogently why it’s inappropriate.

Rubio is clearly riding a white rail to the stars in that interview.

“Christian nationalism” doesn’t sound nearly as bad as it is. It’s like, “Christian, ok, nationalism, sounds patriot!”

I feel like we should call it “Theofascism” or “Klan supremecy” or something.

Working on a conspiracy theory that Pam Bondi and the Bondi Beach shootings are related…

It’s not quite slotting into place yet, but I’ll get there.

Should women be allowed to vote? Hey I’m just asking questions!
I mean jfc CNN just *sat down and interviewed* a group of Christian nationalist leaders who want to repeal women’s right to vote! open.substack.com/pub/jessica/...

Horrifying Blair-Witch Cervid? Check

Bleak dungeon-quality brick background? Check

Probably standing sentry on a hobo graveyard? Check

Sir I salute you.
Twelve years ago, I built three reindeer out of logs and branches from a field behind our house. After 12 seasons, they were too rotted to stand.

I built a new one this afternoon to guard our house. Here he is.

I appreciate the bind that Bondi is in. On the one paw she is contemptuous of congress and its constitutional authority.

On the next paw she wants to protect her child-rapist boss.

On the third paw, she’s incompetent.

On the fourth, her party is fractured and can’t provide strategic alignment.

The acronym “ED“ has way too many different definitions. I propose that henceforth erectile dysfunction shall be known as “dick failure“.

A LOT of human cubs are gonna get measles - and a fair number of those will end up deaf or blind. Easy pickings.

Excellent work, RFKjr.

Let’s suppose you run a multinational plumbing fixtures conglomerate. It’s a 150yo institution whose name is known for quality & reliability all over the world. You are WILDLY profitable.

Now a Jr Exec comes in and says, “Let’s connect our toilets to the internet!”

HIT HIM WITH A GOLF CLUB. TWICE.

Just saw a lady on a cooking show say, "Candy Canes are just one of those things that you put in your mouth and it's Christmas."

And Mrs. Dr. Bear said: "So is Santa's cock."

“Tom Cotton” sounds like a derogatory term for a sadistic antebellum plantation owner.

If you are a scientist still employed by the CDC what the fuck are you doing?

Write the open letter to America, shit on the floor, and bail.

Take every interview you can to say why.

Just stunning how badly he was outplayed. Massie should make a coin purse from Trump’s scrotum.
Has any president ever been so utterly and completely outmanoeuvred as Trump was on Epstein?

Within a couple of days, he went from strong-arming women in the situation room to pretending he was for the vote all along, and now saying he’ll sign the bill when the senate passes it.

He’s a fool.

Attention this will be my *only* public statement in the fucking Starbucks bear cups:

I found one in the trash and it still had some Frappuccino in it and I licked it out and that was okay I guess but kinda too sweet, even for me, and honey is like 1/3 of my diet

Trump and the White House are incapable of NOT protecting rapists and child molesters.

Sadly this isn’t true. She was swatted repeatedly over the years.

But the violence on the right is much, much worse.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

Insofar as this is true (only a tiny bit), it’s because most presidents don’t have blatantly unconstitutional signature policies.
Bessent on tariffs: "This is one of President Trump's signature policies, and traditionally the Supreme Court does not interfere with a president's signature policy."
