She’s busy plotting humanity’s downfall.

If he’d complied with the original deadline & not made every effort to delay & obstruct, maybe the judge would be open to some benefit of the doubt?

Maybe if he hadn’t *continued* defaming the plaintiffs he wouldn’t have a contempt hearing to work around?

But HE is the victim here! 🙄

Malaysian dude fantasizing about "bankrupting" our two biggest neighbors definitely has US interests at heart. No doubt about that.

Discworld QOTD, from The Truth

“William wondered why he always disliked people who said 'no offense meant.' Maybe it was because they found it easier to to say 'no offense meant' than actually to refrain from giving offense.”

I’m old enough to remember when Michael Cohen set up “Essential Consulting” and got millions for having Trump’s ear. This pay-for-access isn’t new.

I think it’s pretty clear to Trump

Oh.

In my opinion “lazy linking” is all the posting & reposting of fact free claims with zero sources given & no attempt made to verify, which is exactly what Musk *wants* Twitter to be.

Actually posting links to sources & facts so ppl can verify what’s true is the OPPOSITE of lazy.

Welcome to real life for quite a few Americans?

As he left the courthouse, Mr. Giuliani repeated his grievances at a prepared microphone stand about being targeted for political ends. A heckler shouted at Mr. Giuliani as he walked to a waiting car. “You got nothing now!” the man said. “You’re a bum!” Mr. Giuliani smiled and turned toward the man. “I wouldn’t bet against me,” he said.

I would bet against him.

And guess what? He’s going to jail for it.

I was already excited to click on a news story about Rudy Giuliani having a meltdown in court today and YELLING at the judge. But nothing prepared me for the courtroom sketch

Yes, and it remains frustrating the extent to which the editors who write headlines refuse to take serious responsibility for the ways in which the bodies of articles have become increasingly less relevant than the headlines.

Russian kills 4, injures 17 in its shelling of bus stop in occupied Nova Kakhovka, Kherson Oblast

Kherson prosecutors initiated a war crimes investigation following a deadly midday assault on civilian transportation infrastructure.

When you freely choose over & over again to intentionally harm others & then want to complain about the consequences, I don’t really have any sympathy for you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Two Central African soldiers tell me Russian commanders ordered them to “kill everybody”, including women and children, in gold mining communities during operations to seize mines in the northeast of the Central African Republic.

They know (or should know) that trashing Mexico's economy would increase migratory pressure and make their goal of reducing immigration more difficult.

But the idea of punching somebody in the face for it's own sake is just too irresistible to them. 2/2

And proving that modern conservatism is mostly a way for people to outwardly project their darker impulses in a socially acceptable way as opposed to an organizing movement for developing and implementing effective governing policy.

All they’ve got is hate & resentment. It drives everything & makes every situation into zero sum. There is no understanding of mutually profitable situations. They must always “win” & make others “lose”.

Ummmmm…

phew it's a good thing our constitution is extraordinarily difficult to amend and wannabe autocrats can't do something like get their co-partisans on the constitutional court to recognize an atextual immunity from criminal law.

Their feelings don’t care about your facts.

The feeling when you are a grown adult who has lots of money & is currently trying to be shadow president of the most powerful nation in the world, but you still need your racist mom to go on TV & defend your delicate feelings from any criticism.

And said Jeezus unto them,

“Seek ye bootstraps,
and by them,
pull thyself into the kingdom.”

— Misconceptions 3:9

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”

Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”

Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”

Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”

Speak for America, Democrats There is still much that President Biden and other Democrats can do during this increasingly alarming transition to Trump’s second term.

"The half of the country that voted against Donald Trump is left standing alone. Who in the Biden administration is shoring up whatever guardrails remain?" You know, someone can do something about that.
