The great thing about GenAI is it saves a lot of time for people who don't think and don't give a shit and wastes an immense amount of time for everyone else.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

It’s so incredibly maddening in so many ways. This screws not only law enforcement but also the taxpayers who paid for all this work, not to mention completely undermining the rule of law. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The most underreported aspect of these pardon stories is the screw you it sends to law enforcement - cases like this take FOREVER to put together with FBI agents and AUSAs working long long hours to get a conviction only to see Trump erase all that with the stroke of a pen. Back the Blue my ass.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Bro, we just want the planes to take off and land, on the agreed-upon schedule, can you focus on that?
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

This is a man whose wife was SHOT IN THE HEAD having to act even-keeled when the President of the United States tries to incite violence against him. Trump has to go, right now.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench.
In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

With the presumption of regularity now out the window, it can take with it the presumption that presidential determinations are fact-based and well-considered. As well as the presumption that the president is even conscious of them.
The full CBS interview with Trump about the pardon of Binance's Changpeng Zhao is shocking. "Why did you pardon him?" "I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a victim ... They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it."
