So eerily reminiscent of calls on January 6 for the President to call of the rioters and he wouldn't.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

"The Trump administration just broke the leadership of Venezuela; Trump now owns responsibility for what comes next there," our columnist Thomas Friedman writes.

A Terrible Tragedy, A Sick Response Mad Hattery and Other Outrages: A Short Video

I felt compelled to record this video after the Trump responded to the Reiner killing by attacking him, lying about what happened and exploiting the event to praise himself. This is sick. This is evil. And I couldn’t let it go without responding.

donald boat ... @laserboat999 I think the most egregious part is that he thinks listening to george guidall or whichever hoary yakubian beast penguin hired to read the translation while he plays diablo with cheetodusty fingers is 1:1 equivalent with hearing a rhapsode sing-chant the poem from memory, that a sped up audiobook boneconducted into his skull will recreate the exact condition of Classical Antiquity and achieve whatever he thinks is "authentic." To the extent that he has any historical sense (he probably doesn't) it is without a doubt autopopulated by sub-Ridley-Scott tier period slop, D-graded wikipedia summaries, pop history podcasts, Grok, of course. I do think that it is a near biblical punishment to inflict on the richest man in human history with a near boundless capacity to build whatever he wants a near total lack of imagination, the inability to navigate his ignorance of any field, literally any field outside of insectile mechanical reproduction. You will see him bleat about the "West," about "Beauty." I would like to see him, or any other of these robber-baron-hopefuls to just try and build one nice-looking building, a library, a train station, maybe just one fucking cabinet and have it not look like the ugliest piece of shit on the planet. He really is the Final Boor, zero taste, trapped in the most brutal contradiction of dull-garish backwards-forwards looking (And may Allah forgive me for uttering this word) "cyberpunk" futurism. He's too far gone for me to pity him in any real way. I hope he gets to live in the world he wants, his grand fantasy, which, like his cars, is probably just a big refrigerator with an iPad in it Traducir post 8:28 p.m. • 10 nov. 2025 • 379,7 mil Visualizaciones

Whiplash on A Day of Peace Watch now | Got a Minute or Two? Mad Hattery and Other Outrages

“The sight of this man presenting himself as a great peacemaker, bathing in praise from other nation’s leaders, creates in me whiplash—a sickening level of cognitive dissonance.”

Seriously, this feels like the political comms equivalent of a successful Queer Eye makeover.

It's clear to the rest of us, the majority, that our lives don't matter to Trump or institutions of power in this country.

Just look at how everyone, including the Yankees and former Presidents, come out to condemn Kirk's murder and offer sympathies as this country unleashes ICE on brown people.
