The orange makeup would work so well with an orange jumpsuit.

“This is not a presidency guided by the will of the people. It is a policy regime brought to life by a right-wing think tank. In effect, the Trump White House should hang a banner above the West Wing: “Brought to You by the Heritage Foundation.”

Stattdessen warten alle auf die Überweisung der Gutschrift

Nancy Mace @NancyMace posted: I want our kids to learn about A-E-I-O-U instead of L-G-B-T-Q. The response by zoe rose bryant @zoerosebryant is: Hi, pre-k teacher here. no need to worry Nancy, it's in our curriculum to cover all the letters eventually. this week we're working on S-T-F-U.

@zoerosebryant.bsky.social brilliantly replied to Nancy Mace a while ago :

Couldn’t help thinking of these media outlets, and what seems to be a lack of courage these days, when I read the below statement in “American Mother” on journalists’ courage to challenge the system.

Kevin Hassett Busted Covering For Trump’s Jobs Fraud Will Saletan exposes Donald Trump’s authoritarian tactics after Trump fires the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for reporting accurate—but politically inconvenient—job numbers.

No surprise, given that the apparatchiks also cover for claims of reducing medication cost by “1500%”. They all have a gifted ability to work with numbers.

And then read Marc Elias’ Democracy Docket Newsletter of today reflecting on what he had said. Yes,✊💙 outrage is justified

Jim Foley in 2011, addressing Marquette University after returning from Libya where he had been captured for the first time (excerpt from the book “American Mother”): "You know the thing is, there's physical courage, right?" he said towards the end of the tape. "For some reason I have physical courage. But really when you think about it that's nothing compared to moral courage. If I don't have the moral courage to challenge authority, to challenge the system, to write about things that are going to have maybe reprisals on my career, if I don't have that moral courage, we don't have journalism."

Cover of the book “American Mother“ by Colum McCann with Diane Foley. The titles letters show a picture of James Foley as background.

Jim Foley, freelance journalist killed by ISIS in Syria 2014, in 2011:

“If I don’t have the moral courage to challenge authority, to challenge the system, to write about things that are going to have maybe reprisals on my career, ….., we don’t have journalism.”

Any thoughts, 🇺🇸 mainstream media?

As I understand it they justify the redactions citing one of the rules allowing for it, based on the years/time the pertaining “content” in the files occurred. It is a scam just like everything else 🤬.
He was right when he said he could walk down 5th Avenue and shoot someone and still get elected 🤯.

But look at the bright side: you don’t have to fear seeing a transgender person in a bathroom, let alone having to compete with one in sports!!!111!!!

She’s not a witness but a convicted trafficker, a criminal. But maybe they afforded her due process and talk to her, send her to a more comfy prison because she wasn’t eating cats and dogs, who knows? 🤷‍♀️

“Die Polizei löste stundenlang Sitzblockaden gegen den rechtsextremen Marsch auf und hielt die Rechtsextremisten und Bürgerinnen und Bürger, die Faschismus ablehnen, auseinander. Von rund 400 Rechtsextremen,darunter bekannte Neonazis und verurteilte Gewalttäter, wurde keine einzige Person angezeigt”

If 🇷🇺stops, the war ends.
If 🇺🇦stops, Ukraine ends.
And then: 🇷🇺 won’t stop there!

Too busy talking to Maxwell 🤯

They use “it was in his private capacity” as excuse for redacting his name from the Epstein files. No immunity for private #47!!!

Cult (The American Heritage Dictionary):

“A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.”

All true for MAGA,except for charismatic. #47 anything but!

No, I have not (yet)

He might give the job to the caddie who helped him with numbers in Scotland

Just finished reading “The Sirens’ Call” by @chrislhayes.bsky.social . For me it was a page turner!
Waiting for the German translation (supposedly out in September) to give to some friends/family members who prefer reading in German. Friends reading English won’t have to wait 🎁.

Trump tells Christians they won't have to vote after this election It was not clear what the former president meant by his remarks.

I don’t see any scenario right now where #47 (or his VP) would voluntarily leave office. An insurrection by the people triggers martial law and then: no election! In July 2024 he said there would be no need to vote again if he were elected. For me that was alarming 🤯

Thank you for your work, your words and standing up for your values!

Just finished watching this (being 6hrs ahead of ET). Thank you and chapeau to Mr. Bedoya!!!

They are still trying to figure out what meds will cost after the 1500% price reduction. Be patient!

Honestly? That is your problem???
And the rest of the world wonders how #47 got elected - twice!!

He ordered McDonalds to use real tomatoes for ketchup
