This recent one from @zachweinersmith.bsky.social really called to me.

Anyone who ever says "you're* taking him out of context" forgets that context always makes him sound worse. (Trump's "nuclear uncle" speech.)

(* Yeah. I know. They usually say "your.")
"Look, having nuclear-my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart -you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world-it's true!-but when you're a conservative Republican they try-oh, do they do a number-that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune-you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged-but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me-it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right-who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners-now it used to be three, now it's four-but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years-but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

ICE agents will be turning on each other soon enough. The problem with purity tests is that eventually everyone fails.

First it was fentanyl, then it was Tylenol. Now agents in tactical gear are being brought down by incidental contact with deli sandwiches.

Much of the decline in the US birth rate is due to TEEN births going down. This sounds on-brand for them.

Also, a lot of the drop in birth rate has been due to drop in TEEN pregnancies. Many developed nations tend to rely on immigration to take up the slack and... oh.

That hair, the makeup the clothes (those TIES) that stance, etc. He's long ago driven away anyone who would tell him "no." He STILL thinks that countries are emptying mental institutions because of the word "asylum."

The "you're taking him out of context" people sure get awfully stingy with context when it suits them. (And let's be honest; whenever you give them more context it gets worse. Here's Trump's "nuclear uncle" speech from July 2016.)
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

The speeches are even more insane when you just read them. There's a REASON the White House has stopped posting transcripts on the web site.

As much as he's slipped lately, even his old stuff is nuts. Witness his "nuclear uncle" speech from 2016.
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

I remember back during the Harold Camping rapture prediction (2011) people were filling sex dolls with helium, leaving clothes out, etc.

An uncomfortable truth to many is that the "crisis of the falling American birth rate" isn't from adult women deferring marriage and families, but due to the drop in TEEN pregnancies over the past few decades.

People asking for a higher birth rate should REALLY think about what they're asking for.

I know that there are no hyphens here, but I had to read that a few times until I got the emphasis right.
My hobby: Whenever anyone calls something an [adjective]-ass [noun], I mentally move the hyphen one word to the right. "Man, that's a sweet ass-car."

Any given speech of his - with or without context - would be career-ending for someone with a "D" next to their name, but here it's just a Monday. There's a reason that the White House no longer posts transcripts of his ramblings - they're somehow even dumber if you just read them.
"Look, having nuclear-my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart -you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world-it's true!-but when you're a conservative Republican they try-oh, do they do a number-that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune-you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged-but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me-it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right-who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners-now it used to be three, now it's four-but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years-but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

Good thing they found a way to make up for that lost money nationally. Local economies will still be trash though.

The trick is largely to remind yourself that it's an alternate reality, and to walk away when you need to. (However, quite a few people have suddenly "gotten big" and had to walk away for mental health and/or safety reasons. Women, especially, get the bulk of the abuse.)

Thanks for all you do!
