I thought this was veering into satire until I saw the videos in the thread…

Since the media refuses to report on it, let me share what happens at a typical Trump speech:

1. He comes out to the playing of the “January 6 Anthem” song which he recorded with some of the most dangerous J6 rioters in jail.

2. He brags how his song with the J6 rioters gets more downloads than Taylor Swift (it does not)

3. He spends a few minutes talking about passing cognitive exams, and how the audience would not pass the exam, but because he is really smart (he is not) he is able to ace the exam.

4. He praises Viktor Orban, the leader of Hungary, who Trump says is the most respected leader in Europe (he is not).

5. He praises President Xi and says he is very strong and rules over 1 billion people with an iron fist and Hollywood couldn’t find an actor as tough as President Xi.

6. He praises Putin and says people say it’s a bad thing he gets along with Putin but he thinks it’s a good thing.

7. He makes weird noises reenacting lifting weights with a trans woman and he says “mommy I can’t do it. Mommy. Ughhh, uhh, mommy help me.”

8. He says he doesn’t like seeing President Biden at the beach and says he has a better body than Biden (he does not)

9. He talks about his hatred of windmills and his hatred of electric cars. He says he would rather be electrocuted than eaten by sharks however.

10. He praises the J6 insurrectionists and calls them hostages.

11. He whines about his court cases, attacks prosecutors, judges, and witnesses, and then praises “the great Alphonse Capone” and brags he was indicted more than Capone.

12. He quotes Hitler and says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.

13. He says he wants to be a dictator on day 1.

14. He plays QAnon music, audience members often make QAnon sign with their hands, and he talks about how America is a failing nation.

15. He does a weird dance and leaves.

Hey @MercedesBenz - your app asked for feedback, but your server is down (along with my window. Arf.)

Who’s on Bluesky? Looking to move as many of my followings as possible. I’m @jamesholland.com

@riptari It’s going to just make it up though, isn’t it? BRB. Baking a six kilometer cake.

🚨 🚨 You can ask ChatGPT to convert cups in recipes into meaningful measures like grams and this might actually be the best thing US techbros have ever done

@rachel_holtzman @PRWeekUS @HighwirePR Right back atcha! The robots have got nothing on us!

@secretcinema Incredibly, not in the U.S.

As someone who struggles with dyslexia, I can relate to this! So far, I've used @OpenAI ChatGPT to help me rewrite slack messages, emails, and tweets. It's been super helpful and I've been impressed with the results.

The end of this is the most bizarre thing I’ve seen since Liz Truss’s press conference. Which doesn’t bode well.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Senator McConnell graduated from a school that cost $330 a year. Today it costs over $12,000. McConnell has done nothing to fix it — and is irate that the President is stepping up to help millions of working Americans drowning in debt. He can spare us the lectures on fairness.

@Whatleydude The inexorable march toward typing 'teledildonics' into a pitch deck. I weep for the agency staff of the future.

[Jamesholland @Jamesholland]

And now, thanks to the blessing/curse of a work-focussed RSS feed, I think of @Whatleydude several times a day. You and your bloody slide. https://t.co/S9DXcLi2a3

Nobody should be quiet about this. I'm so glad to work for a company strong enough to take a stand. https://t.co/aIyjc6jR46

I’d suggest that table is compensating for something, but it’s already got a massive bellend at the head of it.

Naturally Putin was sitting a healthy 15 feet away from Shoigu and Gerasimov at the end of a ridiculously long table when he told them to get the nukes out

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

This makes that @10DowningStreet facade of lights in yellow & blue - the colours of the Ukrainian flag - all the more grotesque.

Beneath the virtue signalling, the cruelty & callousness of @ukhomeoffice, @BorisJohnson & @pritipatel 😔

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

It would be terribly annoying to Putin if Ukrainians got outside assistance, not through a nation state. https://t.co/4P1kEOseYD
