Trump has turned stupidity into his brand.

Trump learned his schtick from pro wrestling. When he screws up (which is often), he sells it as a funny put on.
On top of being a relentless bully, he is a shameless con artist.
Most politicians can’t get by the way he does.

The Resistance Gains Momentum Trump had a bad week.

Way-hey! After concerted local pushback, New Jersey company decides not to contract with ICE:

"The contract with ICE will not move forward, a Holman spokesperson told Patch.

"I have been informed that we declined that particular body of work," the spokesperson said...

FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

F.B.I. Searches Home of Washington Post Journalist for Classified Documents

More norm busting, or really dynamiting. Any search of reporter’s phone has been exceedingly rare, requiring special signoffs within DOJ. But search of reporter’s home basically unheard of. And this looks to be petty and political, not eg national security.

How did Dumpty know the guy meant him?

Pretty sure his union contract doesn’t prevent him from exercising his First Amendment rights

Tiny hands syndrome will be the death of us.

The courts are ruling against Donald Trump yet again tonight.

A federal judge just blocked his unlawful funding freeze for child care and other critical programs in Illinois with a temporary restraining order.

His abuse of power against the families of this state won’t stand.

He keeps sending them to CECOT.

To be fair, he spent decades knowing zero about real estate.

No doubt there is a cancellation policy with any penalties far below $1 million.

An evil, cowardly dim child.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Remember when he claimed to be a germophobe who hated to shake hands?

If Indiana legislators hold firm on their conscience today, it will among other things be a much-needed rejection of the idea that you can get your way on policy through bullying, intimidation, and threats.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

a silver pit bull puppy lays half in and half outside of his gray and black dog bed, which is propped up on its side. a lamb toy lays nearby as the little puppy snoozes soundly, totally unaware of the strange position he's ended up in.

This is Bandit. He fell asleep while getting out of bed. We've all been there. 12/10 sweet dreams buddy (u/yarntist)

Exactly what Putin installed him to do. Destroying our economy was just extra credit.

Didn’t remember he just said that.

It’s math, hon.

No matter how hard that might be to find people like that.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
