My upper brain knows this is wrong, unbecoming and highly unpleasant.

But it doesn't rouse any kind of visceral upset in me. I've seen him act like a vulgar, ignorant bully too many times.

He's normalised this - at least for me. I didn't choose that and I don't want it, but there it is anyway.

Y’all ok with the felonious President of The United States saying, “Quiet Piggy”, to a female reporter for asking a question?

That’s disgusting. He’s a woman hater and a pedo. Take him down, America!
He is the worst we have to offer!
We see the pig. It’s Trump.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

“Epstein’s brother said this is what he heard the FBI is doing”— do people even hear themselves?

You think a rumor circulated by Epstein’s brother is reliable proof of ANYTHING???

Wow, indeed.

Not sure where this will end up, but if there’s a universe where Texas’ redistricted maps are not allowed to proceed but California’s redistricted maps are, I would positively HOWL at that outcome.
Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
