Just spitballing here, but maybe if we all took seriously the idea that character matters in a president we would all be better off.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech β€” rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House

A bit overshadowed by the rest of the rambling, but my favorite part is when he said "I did not know I'd be standing here right now."

My first thought was the same as many others, that he was ridiculous for saying that based on her history. But there may be a positive (if unintentional) aspect to him doing this: By stroking their egos & praising them for doing SOMEthing semi-good, it may encourage her & others to keep speaking out

Just to be absolutely clear:

The President of the United States has absolutely no power to β€œtake away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person.

And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

There is no bailout that will solve this problem.

It took decades to create the markets for beans and months to devastate the markets for beans.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41.

Here’s the President of the United States of America.

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over.

Congratulations, America.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
