In my mind, only two explanations exist for Trump posting the AI "medbed" video.
(1) He is so senile he thinks he made that speech and it is the cornerstone of his "health plan" he's been promising to unveil since 2016.
(2) He's so senile that someone's been scamming him $50,000/month for a medbed.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Police officers who publicly declare that theyโ€™ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffingโ€”sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pensionโ€”and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who donโ€™t see themselves as public servants.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. โค๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

They're going to build the Qatari Air Force "facility" inside the US Air Force Base. Vance is mincing words when he changes "base" for "facility." It's a Qatari Air Force base inside of a US Air Force base. What could possibly go wrong?

Photo is a picture of a deranged orange president, who recently claimed that 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was accepted "on his behalf" by Venezuelan liberal, Maria Corina Machado, after being snubbed (and rightfully so) by Peace Prize committee in his quest to finally have a medal as big as President Obama's.

Would someone please take the Orange Man to Oz and hang some sort of really big medal around his neck so he'll feel he finally measures up to a real President.

(Trump fails again in quest to finally have a medal as big as President Obama's.)

Photo shows a bearded male legislator in blue suit and red tie wielding a gavel nearly the length of his arm. Caption is from AP news. Caption reads "Texas GOP considers censoring state representatives who aren't conservative enough."

New research indicates that big gavels are over-compensation for other inadequacies.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

This is truly frightening, more so if the universities accept. There should be no compromise with fascist censorship.

Yeah, it's protected First Amendment speech if it's what they want to say.
It's impermissible "hate speech" inciting violence if they "hate" what you're trying to say.

This is how fascism works.

Speaking out against fascism does not incite violence. Fascism incites violence.
