Dad Influence

A discussion sparked by a piece whose opening argument was that Larry Summers was the tragic, rational victim of a feminized woke mob

I filed my claim.

It's a theory like Gravity

Had sex with a child and tried to make it go away with money.

Trump supporter. Pardoned by Trump.

Not a drag queen. Not a Democrat. Not Trans.

Curious 🧐

it makes you think about some stuff

We need to double and triple down in supporting those good independent journalists, who are working to keep us informed and save democracy, while the big DC and Manhattan stars are busy with their unethical practices and their willingness to sell our democracy out for a few dollars more. 2/2

I read the Nuzzi and Lizza articles. And my takeaway is that the establishment media is a central cause of the crisis our country faces. While good journalists like Susan, or @marisakabas.bsky.social, or @ericacbarnett.bsky.social, and so many others, do good work without those resources. 1/2

We've never litigated what "natural born citizen" means really, I mean he was a citizen at the moment of his birth until and unless Trump manages to reverse the 14th amendment and with this Supreme Court, nothing is off limits

Trump "encouraging" Congress to pass the discharge petition is all theater. Trump doesn't need Congress to release the Epstein Files. DOJ reports to HIM. And Pam will do as he commanded—not release the files, or at least any that are embarrassing to him.

Botulism in baby formula. Welcome to RFKjr's CDC.

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Didn’t the SCOTUS prevent Biden’s signature policy of one time student loan forgiveness? 🙄

My paper (the one discussed below) has been accepted to the Astrophysical Journal!!!

I mean, no doubt that it would be, but it's always a good feeling. 😎 We'll aim for a press release once it's officially published because this is just such a darn interesting object...

This is such an Idiocracy conversation

This is the most incredible collection of auction items I've ever seen.

But we know there's a veto-proof majority in the House, and the Senate is under enormous pressure in the same direction.

Imagine being a Senator voting to protect president p8dophile in this era with this much noise. NOPE.

Food-borne illness are skyrocketing since RFKjr cut the CDC tracking system for outbreaks. He's trying to cull Americans, en masse.

Do they let the President go on Vacation in Mexico during all the Distasters??

Seems like he would hate it

MAGA Beauty Queen Humiliated by Judge Over Botched Probe The scathing ruling was yet another blow for Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump’s handpicked prosecutor Lindsey Halligan.

A federal judge has slammed the Trump Justice Department for a “disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps."

I'm not minimizing any of the countless other reasons he should be drafting his resignation.

It's that he said this to a woman. In her workplace. In front of her colleagues. While she does her job.

It's a disgrace. He owes her an apology, and so do all of his voters, frankly.

Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy' Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files

I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation.

I mean, I do. But still.

How can the president. THE PRESIDENT. Of the United States of America. The. President.

🤔🤔🤔🤔

People magazine headline about Donald Trump calling a female reporter "Piggy."

POTUS tells a woman to shut up by snapping "Quiet, Piggy."

Strike up the band for another rousing chorus of our theme song:

🎵MAGA is a war of men against women
And Donald Trump is its Generalissimo🎵

But also maybe they should ruin his life?

A guy asking Epstein for advice on how to sexually harass a junior colleague knows exactly what Epstein was and was clearly OK with it. I am frankly OK with someone ruining his life.

Evidently it ought to have happened decades ago.

ICE: Stop Terrorizing Children ICE is traumatizing children as young as 14 – trying to strip them of their rights while they're without attorneys or family to help them. Take action against these horrific abuses now.

ICE has been targeting young kids for months, separating families and instilling fear.

Tell Congress to pass legislation ensuring no child is arrested without a warrant and coerced to give up their rights by immigration agents.

Larry Summers says he's stepping back from public commitments to "rebuild trust and repair relationships." I'll bet the real reason is conferences/speaking gigs have been cancelling on him all week. Still, he's spinning this to make himself look good--like we'll forget he was besties w/ a pedophile.

You can send a thank-you note to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. if you are a measles enthusiast.
