Trump’s been on binger and the cracks are showing - he’s posting absolute nonsense over on his TS site. He really thinks folks are stupid…
He posted this doozy of chart claiming he’s reduced the deficit.
📌 The deficit remains huge! Nearly $1.8 trillion — one of the largest in U.S. history!

Trump on Walz: "You look at what he's done with Somalia where Somalia, which is barely a country -- they have no anything, they just run around killing each other. When I see somebody like Ilhan Omar, I always watch her, for years I've watched her complain about our Constitution ... "

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

This is the rambling of a psychopath. A psychopath with no regard for the law, for morality, for ethics, for any and everything we were raised to uphold as basic American values. And this is personal for me since my own father was killed by drug traffickers.
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Every time I think media is the absolute worst, academia reminds me it sucks on Trump, too. Might as well watch Prager U videos instead of going to class at OU. Imagine being a parent paying tuition and seeing the school side with a Bible thumping student instead of the instructor. Suckers.
Oklahoma University has placed a grad student instructor on admin leave for failing a psychology paper on gender for citing *the Bible* as a source of empirical evidence.
In response, OU has placed on instructor on admin leave citing, get this, the FIRST AMENDMENT.
Universities are cooked.

"Trump is always vile & erratic, but spewing slurs on Thanksgiving feels like an escalation even for him. It suggests he’s desperate to find his Reichstag Fire — a violent incident he can use to rally his supporters & as an excuse to target his foes."
