This would be a two or three week news story in a previous administration, and might even lead to the resignation of the defense secretary. He literally fabricated a Biblical quote, based off of a movie, while pretending to be a pious Christian.
But under Trump, we’ll have moved on by tomorrow.
MIKE TIRICO’S ALL-TIME GREAT OLYMPICS SIGN-OFF:
“All the young people out there, those dreams are formed now. Go chase them, our country loves sports, it brings us together unlike anything else. And if you didn’t know that: you saw it in Team USA Hockey”
HOW MAGA SPREADS MISINFORMATION:
STEP 1: Tabloid with no sources makes something up
STEP 2: Sister tabloid reports that tabloid’s “report” of the made up thing
STEP 3: Fox News reports that sister product “report” of the made up “fact”
STEP 4: RW influencers — paid by foreign countries — spread the clips as fact to sow distrust in governmental institutions
STEP 5: MAGA elected officials use online propaganda to pursue unsubstantiated claims and tries to cut funding people rely on
MAGA is yelling that the No Kings protesters are all paid actors.
Just so I’m clear. The guy who was hated by his spouses for cheating, hated by his contractors for not paying, hated by his staff for being a bully, hated by his chiefs of staff, hated by his generals, hated by the intelligence community, hated by his “friends,” hated by Americans for ignoring a pandemic, inciting an insurrection, destroying our government, firing millions of Americans, stealing our retirement, torching our constitution, and crashing our economy, the guy is possibly the most hated man in America, if not the universe, and you think we need to get paid to loathe this slithering creature?
Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?
#Bengals QB Joe Flacco was asked why he’s still playing at age 40 — after making so much money, winning a Super Bowl, and having a young family — and his answer was perfect:
“You only get a chance to play in the NFL once. I feel like I’ve worked really hard to be a guy that gets to play in the NFL, and I don’t want to take that for granted. I still feel like I can play the game at a high level, and I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror when I’m 50 years old and say that I gave it everything I had.”
Collins: You do have people in your district who are in the Obamacare marketplace. I think it's about 36,000 of them. Do you believe that the subsidies should be extended so premiums don't go up?
Jordan: Let's not keep subsidizing, expanding, and extending Obamacare
Collins: So, you’re against the subsidies?
Jordan: I think we should look for other ways to improve health care for Americans, for families, and do it at a cheaper cost
Collins: What could you do in the next 3 months? Republicans who have wanted to get rid of Obamacare for so long, you're one of them. You said the subsidies before you believed were illegal. They have never introduced a comprehensive plan to replace Obamacare. So I think most Americans who are saying open enrollment starts November 1st don't have faith that you're going to change
Jordan: I tell you what the Democrats want. The Democrats want health care for people who are non-citizens.
Collins: Don't change the subject

Putin couldn’t do a better job at attacking America than Trump has. Hundreds of years of combined experience decimated by an absolute draft dodging imbecile. America has never been in so much danger.
@Acyn So is how os he finding joy in laying off so many people? Oh wait- his tagline is “you’re fired!”
Imagine having to defend this nonsense day in & day out 🤦♂️
Remember when it was called TDS if you claimed that Trump would:
-deploy troops in cities
-implement project 2025
-pardon Jan 6th insurrectionists
-politicize the DoJ for revenge
-ruin trade policy with tariffs
-start wars
-not achieve peace in Ukraine
-be worse for Gaza
-give preferential access to the wealthy
-appoint under qualified loyalists
-break his promises on tech and finance policy
And yet here we are….
The idea that the media has a “left wing liberal bias” is nonsense.
They spent this last election cycle vilifying Harris’ claims about Trump - and yet they’ve all come true.
Kamala Harris, debate night: "What you're going to hear tonight is a detailed and dangerous plan called Project 2025 that the former president intends on implementing if he were elected again."
Trump: "I have nothing to do with Project 2025."
Today:
I hope it's clear to everyone by now that Trump really is going for it -- he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat who's unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as a key part of that effort.
Imagine if Obama sold watches and memcoins from the white house, had like 5 kids from 3 baby mommas and was best friends with Jeff Epstein.
I wonder what conservatives would say.
