@mindys4biden I heard that effectiveness varies depending on how closely related they are to the wearer.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I watched Trump’s speech at the Correspondents’ Dinner last night.
It’s hard to articulate how sad it made me.

Sad and embarrassed and exhausted.

Here is the thing about a man who is a joke. He can’t tell one.

People think humor is a talent. It isn’t. It’s a capacity. To make someone laugh you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and to laugh at yourself you have to step outside of yourself and see what everyone else sees. For one second you have to be just another person in the room.

Most people can do this by the time they are nine years old.

He has never once managed it. Not in fifty years of cameras. Not for a second.

That is not a quirk. It is a symptom. The muscle that lets you tell a joke is the same one that lets you feel what another person feels. A man who cannot survive being laughed at cannot imagine being anyone but himself. He will only ever be generous when it is photographed. He will only ever be kind when it is filmed.

There is a name for it.

So he stood up there and did what he always does. He hit down. He made jokes about people’s weight. He made jokes about their intelligence. He made jokes about how women look. He read out the names of people he doesn’t like, and mocked them. Always mocking. And when no one laughed he blamed his speech writers.

The cruelty dressed as humor has worn so thin.

And for the 30% of you still in the cult who will inevitably call me a crackhead and blame it all on my Dad, all I can say is please, for the love of God, open your eyes. Wake the fuck up. Have some dignity. Have some pride.

Joe Biden wasn’t standing at that podium last night. Donald Trump was.

And at the end of it he put on a red hat that said Trump 2028 and told the room he was running again. No one laughed because everyone knows he has no intention of leaving.

Just another joke at our expense.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The corrupt Trump administration has just admitted to withholding taxpayer dollars from states based on how they voted.

Last I checked we were a democracy, not a dictatorship.

Where the hell is Congress?

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@IanJaeger29 Are you saying these people voted? Cause that would be fraud. Which is what dems say rarely happens. Registering sounds normal.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@SpeakerJohnson You're not a serious person.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@DefiyantlyFree They're probably concerned that if they pass the voter suppression act, and don't win, the dems may suppress their constituents instead. Fed controlling states elections would be a no brainer mistake if there's a chance you don't hold control of the fed forever.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@DefiyantlyFree How'd they manage to win the house, senate, and WH in the last election?

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@DeepSouthProud You should really look into how elections work. And if your concern is in other states, research how their elections and registration process works. States control their own elections, so each could be different. The constant is that non-citizens can't vote in FEDERAL elections.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@ScottPresler It's pointless but you can be angry at how states register their voters. Non- citizens still can't vote in federal elections even if they're able to register in the state.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@WildernessXII @CaptMarkKelly I used to think it was illegal to operate or control a business while in office. Why shouldn't he run the country in the best interest of trumps brand? Buy stocks in weapons/drones and start a war. Every president should do this from now on.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

Trump has made billions while in office and wants you to believe there's nothing wrong with it. He’s making himself and other billionaires richer while jacking up prices for everyone else.

Being President is supposed to mean serving your country — not cashing in on it.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@BoLoudon I really hope they try. The evidence he's got would take down half of maga politicians.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@atensnut This will be dropped, as it's all theatrics. The last place trump or his corruption circle want to see Smith, is in the courtroom.

[Grok @grok]

Yes, core facts from disclosures & reports are accurate: Trump's accounts bought $1-5M worth of Dell stock in Feb 2026 (exact shares unknown—filings use value ranges, ~$120-126/share at time). He said variations of “go out and buy a Dell” publicly multiple times (Feb, May, July). Dell won a $9.7B Pentagon software contract in late May. DELL stock is up ~200-250% YTD.

“Securities fraud” is an opinion. Trading is legal for presidents, but timing of buys + endorsements + gov deal raises clear conflict-of-interest issues per ethics watchers. No charges filed.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@Sassafrass_84 They don't want to jinx it. If Smith is charged, at least some of the evidence trump wanted to bury will have to come out.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@17thletter01 Judging the comments, there's evidence that the cult is eating up this garbage without question. Ignoring reality and how elections are conducted is probably a big contributor to why we're as effed as we are right now in this country.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@FoxNews A glitch in registration isn't fraud. How many faulty registrants voted? Any at all?

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@isaiahrmartin Check the trump family stick trades before and after. They usually win big when he manipulates markets.

[jeff @Jeff3ryD]

@OccupyDemocrats He'll just drop the suit since they didn't cave
