Trump says reporting on his health is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.' They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

Can you imagine if President Biden had said similar about Republicans? Such comments would be ALL OVER NY Times, WaPost, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN. They’ve all lost my business. No longer watch or click on any of ‘em. #ComplictCorporateMedia

Again, very strange to have US leaders bragging about war crimes on TV — especially since Vance’s unfunny joke is basically “we base our air strikes on such sketchy intel that we can’t figure out who is a fisherman and who is a drug smuggler,” which does appear to be true, BTW.
Vance on Trump's strikes on boats: "I wouldn't go fishing right now in that area of the world."

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.
I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

I was talking to a post-doc who works with me about this. She said "I did my PhD during a pandemic, now I am starting a post-doc and science is being defunded, maybe it's a sign I need to do something else with my life"
She is a brilliant scientist, science needs her!
