Seeing some “Trump has no real beliefs” and that’s clearly not true
Trump is very very consistent in his anti-Blackness, misogyny, protectiveness of scammers, and commitment to a worldview where someone is always getting screwed and you don’t want it to be you.
That’s a coherent politics!

Also: I think most bullies have an instinct for when the person they want to pick on is too popular for them to go at without getting blowback, and they know how to miraculously become charming when that fits their preferred narrative. If you've never seen this, it's confusing! Do not be fooled!
Honestly, when I heard about this meeting, I thought Trump was going to have him killed, and this hasn't exactly dialed down my suspicions
Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

Based on what I've heard about how Mamdani charmed Adams, I am totally unsurprised that he managed the same with Trump.
It is genuinely not that hard to charm ego monsters, if charm is in your toolkit and you can manage you ego for an hour

? because of course it's not quite over and arguably not quite a human (I mean literally and only pregnancy, not parenting). But it is creating/giving human life, which is both better and more impressive than the inverse, and also completely unique

Interesting to me in the sense of “the parties are two sides of the same coin” doesn’t look very true when capitalists prefers Republicans 80-20
But in other years may have been a more valid analysis

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

Like it’s fun to craft and present your most attractive self in small bursts and people are hot and interesting and the uncertainty of “will they like me, will I like them” is exciting

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

The debate about removing nonconsensually posted images is a perfect example.
It was *tech platforms* that responded to that demand by banning nude content. A lot of feminist groups saw that as a second act of oppression, not some win that prevented violence.
