It might also be worth giving some thought to acknowledging that he might actually be a good mayor. Just a possibility to consider...

The posting is unusually self-aware. How many people would be so public in acknowledging that they don't belong there?

So, 44% think it is fine to do the sweep-and-deport process without due process and often including US citizens.

FYI: mail-in voting & using an electronic machine in a vote center in your county are not like online polling. They have many documented & sufficient protections. Note there is no documentation of stray folk attempting repeated voting a) occur in quantity, and b) being effective.

1950, not 1960. A quibble, but worth noting.

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

Trump's Truth 'Trump's Truth' is a searchable archive of Donald Trump's posts on TRUTH Social.

Reminder for political journalists: Since searching through Donald Trump's Truth Social posts is so obnoxiously difficult, my brilliant colleague @chrisgherbert.bsky.social built a comprehensive database a few months ago. It's *super* helpful.

Now includes share buttons for Bluesky!

Capitol Police arrest man accused of assaulting Nancy Mace Mace said she sustained injuries to her arm and wrist and tied the incident to her support for transgender bathroom bans.

' ...Elliott Hinkle... [said] what Mace calls assault was "a normal handshake and interaction that I would expect any legislator to expect from anyone as a constituent."

The outlet cited two anonymous witnesses who confirmed Hinkle's version of events. '

Anyone choosing to believe anything he says has to work hard to ignore the reality of his entire history. When someone lies every day, about everything, for their entire life, there is no art to it. It takes effort to pretend he is not lying.

So a reminder:

It’s not β€˜liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not β€˜liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not β€˜liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

They created the narrative, but they did not force anyone to embrace it. Anyone who embraces it has plenty of access to other, legitimate narratives. So, those who embrace this one choose to. They are the problem. Those creating the false narrative are the symptom.

By reposting, you increased its visibility and the algorithm's assessment of its popularity.

Alas, so has my responding to your posting.

It's not as if anything he posts is actually newsworthy. Really. Everything he says, he's said before. And if he does say something new, it isn't really new.

Oh, I think there is a legitimate concern, with the place we fled from providing ample evidence. It's just that it's so difficult to talk about differences and constraints in ways that are substantive, constructive, and not... manipulative.

1. When Walmart opens a store, it drives down local wages more than it reduces prices. Some warned of this 20 years ago (me!), but most cities and towns welcomed Walmart anyway. Now, a robust new study shows Walmart’s damage is even worse than feared.

Opinion | Jack Smith didn't really have a choice Smith's move could be an effort to keep the cases alive in the long term.

Anger over Smith’s dismissals of the Trump cases is understandable, but it’s the only move he had. By filing preemptively, he keeps the cases alive for 2029. My thoughts in MSNBC Daily.

It is long-past time to stop trying to trivialize the guy. It's not that you are wrong in factual terms, it's that it doesn't matter.

He's elected. THEY now have virtually complete control of very part of the government.

That's what matters.

If you are waiting for this to happen on Jan 20, then you have not been paying attention for the last 20-30 years. Jan 20 is just a celebratory milestone, not the creation of the change.

Early 1970s, UCLA psych class. Prof always had transvestite woman as guest. This year he also had transgender man; being a guest was last stage of the process for him. Woman had horror story, but was unpleasant. Guy was a delight. 200-300 students reacted to behavior, not appearance or history.
