@cristinabeltran.bsky.social flew back Sunday from a political theory conference and I told her there's this show you have to see and of course I'll rewatch the first episode and her eyes lit up and she insisted on watching it IMMEDIATELY

Without the instant feedback of rally crowds, he really has no sense of which lines work

I'm guessing we'll soon hear about more grand-jury rejections before, if these cases even get to the next stage. There's a near zero chance that any of Trump's "enemies" ever gets put on trial: What jury would unanimously vote to convict? Pam Bondi will settle for a couple of press conferences.

For Trump, that's mission: accomplished. "Merely creating an aura of criminality around Trump foes by celebrating incremental prosecutorial moves is a trophy in itself to die-hard Trump supporters." (gift link)

I bet I know what technology Trump wants his new system to use

Like Trump, Musk is so solipsistic—and imagines that everyone else is too—that he reduces Oates' post to a demand that he read *her* books

@ddale8.bsky.social: "Grocery prices. Gas prices. Prescription drug prices. Overall prices. Over just three days, Trump made false claims about all of them."

Will be happy to see the wrecking ball come for the Donald J. Trump Ballroom in 2029, but seems like a terrible waste to take down an entire stadium. Still, if that's what he wants

Actually surprised at his acknowledgment of the existence of attendees not loudly cheering Dear Leader

Six months ago

The Trumps have none of their own money at risk, though, right? Eric and Don Jr.—and Trump Media itself—are simply recipients of people who want to put cash in their pockets, in whatever form is most convenient

A loss so broad and deep that Republicans didn't even try to blame election fraud

I expect him to begin using the word LICENSE in daily posts

Even before he finally leaves office, I expect a national—international?—purging of anything gold: jewelry, decoration, trophies, everything. He is working to make gold as Trump-coded as red baseball caps. There will be a backlash.

A deep cut!

New York City is a pile of shit
New York City is a pile of shit
New York City is a pile of shit
Aaaaaah New York City!

Hope he didn’t get the idea from Whiskey Pete

Um
