Trump Just Stands There After Man Collapses During Press Conference One of the guests at Donald Trump’s press conference on weight loss drugs passed out during the event.

Sociopaths have a significant lack of empathy, especially affective empathy, which is the ability to feel what others are feeling. They struggle to emotionally resonate with others' experiences, leading to a disregard for the harm their actions cause and making them prone to manipulative behavior.

In clinical psychology, we know that sociopaths have a significant lack of empathy, especially affective empathy, which is the ability to feel what others are feeling. They struggle to emotionally resonate with others' experiences, leading to a disregard for the harm their actions cause.

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social I hear ya but… I am forever grateful that Biden pardoned a lot (lots) of persons who were unfairly criminally prosecuted by prior administrations for marijuana possession, most of them non-white. Had there been a limit on the pardons, then no-go. Tough dilemma.

So much winning

Remember that 9 year old bully in elementary school who took food from the other kids, spilled a coke on the kid in the wheelchair & then complained that the new Black kid was the problem? There are 77 million of them now & they all voted in 2024. You are the adults. You know what to do. Stand up.

Oh, friends, I bring Good News. Last night, despite getting shellacked in elections from coast-to-coast, the Republicans are not going to change a thing. They are chained to the rotting corpse of Trump. Why is that good news? We proved we don’t need them to win, the heroes arrived and it is Us.

Carville was right in 1992, and it happened again today: Dems swept all the races, where voters chose “Anyone but a Republican”

3 weeks ago we sent hundreds of postcards to Dem voters in NJ. We were not alone: tens of thousands of NJ-bound postcards were sent by volunteers like us. Tonight, Sherrill won in a landslide. It only takes a few hours of your time & a roll of stamps. (Here is the link: turnoutpac.org/postcards/ )

Tell us for the 100th time that you’ve got a better plan than the ACA? Of course, there is no plan. He lied from 2015 to 2020 and he’s lying again. Trump learned from his dad Fred, a shameless slumlord, racist, and law-dodging criminal who promised deals that never happened, just like his Donny.

His favorite Bible story: when Jesus refuses to distribute the loaves and fishes in order to teach self-reliance, and then mocks the hungry by eating the food in front of them. Classic Jesus. (Photo below: He threw a huge ‘Gatsby’ party for his buddies just hours before SNAP benefits expired.)

Sunday un-funnies

Nothing says ‘Go To Hell’ more than the President & Congress spending $300M on a ballroom while raising the cost of health care, cutting SNAP food subsidies for the elderly & poor, and cutting taxes for $500K+ households. It’s almost like they are trying to get voted out of office. Make it happen.

And in related news, 2 of 3 adults surveyed said they would not stop their microwave from catching fire and burning down their house.

The GOP put up an unrepentant woman-hating incel for office in Louisville KY and their best defense is that he “brings a lot to the table.”

Ingrassia withdraws nomination after racist texts The 30-year-old lawyer nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel was slated to appear before senators on Thursday. His move comes after POLITICO reported comments he made in a text chat.

What’s important to remember is not the *courage* of 4 Republicans who (reluctantly) withdrew support; instead, we need to face the ugly fact that 49 remaining Republican Senators were all-in on voting for Dear Leader’s latest repugnant nominee. Unfortunately, there are plenty more like him waiting.

Anyone living in a 1792 National Historic Landmark would require extensive community review & approvals before any renovations. But King Donald put a lackey at the commission, got a Yes, and here come the bulldozers. He assaulted dozens of women, now he’s desecrating the White House.

The fate of an already-thin ‘peace’ deal now rests on Vance’s shoulders. What could possibly go wrong? (Once again, Trump is a genius at making a bad deal and then setting up others to take the fall.)

This is Maria Corina Machado. She is receiving the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.” In life, be a Maria.
