@gtconway3d Jealous much? I just Face Timed my old Uncle Mitch. He chuckled when I told him Aunt Elaine jetted off to China with his super-secret Senator papers. He's looking forward to pranking her when she gets back.

@Gwynne_Shotwell What's Trump's take?
There's a scheme buried in these accounts.
Trump does nothing altruistic and especially when it involves money.
Not ever.
people will be like “i voted for Trump because i thought it was the lesser of two evils”. you thought a rapist and pedophile was less evil??? just say you hate women and Black people.
Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars. Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. All we want is clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.
MAGA: “He doesn’t even take a salary.”
Reality: Not much of a sacrifice when you make the equivalent of 5,500 years of presidential salary in one year from businesses and industries over which you have policy control.
As we embark upon 250 years of this great nation, take a moment to reflect on how one man has tried to hijack what should be a joyous day of celebration for all Americans.
From a circus-like experience on the national mall, to the unveiling of a presidential plane "gifted" from a foreign country (refurbished on taxpayers dime), to the unauthorized demolition and construction site of the White House, to the algae infested Reflecting Pool with dead ducklings, to the tarped scaffolding in front of the Kennedy Center to hide the unauthorized hijacking of its name.
To the iconic and oldest grove of cherry blossom trees in DC gifted from Japan in 1910, now under threat of being cut down for his golf course, on taxpayers dime.
As the east coast experiences extreme temperatures in an unprecedented heat wave amplified by global climate change, there is one man hellbent on destroying America's protected wildlife refuges, national forests and public lands for personal profit. Drilling and mining our National Parks, created by Teddy Roosevelt for future generations of Americans to cherish and enjoy.
America's 250-year milestone is not about one man, no matter how hard he tries to make it so.
As you celebrate with friends and family in your community, across every state in this great nation, remember, we, the people are America. This land is our land.
And in November, we, the people, are taking our country back from a government who is failing us. 🇺🇸
Trump is many things, but first and foremost, he's a grifter. He's been one his entire life, long before he entered politics.
After he squandered his inheritance, his grifts began to fall flat and he failed - over and over - and was bankrupt; he got rescued by The Apprentice and the fictional success and persona that Mark Burnett created.
As he entered politics, he realized - grifter that he is - that he could capitalize on the fictional character from The Apprentice that had built him his following, by further amassing a fearful angry following of people who felt disenfranchised. He learned to turn their deep-seated fears into grievances and told them who to blame for it. He learned he could pose as one of them, even though he's the farthest thing from them.
He became a carnival-style conman, peddling rudimentary and unmistakable frauds to a larger and larger audience of followers - who - quite frankly - disgust him. For years he's peddled his frauds to them, feeding them heaping helpings of bullshit, and for their part, the dopamine rush overpowered reasoned thought; some looked askance at the bullshit he was feeding them, but a good number of them asked for bigger spoons.
But a conman has to remain true to his con, and Trump can no longer muster that as well; he's unable to be true to anything beyond himself, and he now tells people openly that he doesn't care about them.
And a conman has to protect his myth, and Trump's secrets, lies, and frequent humiliations are showing.
And a conman also has to be able to convey a thought coherently, and he is ill and medicated, and puffy and lumpy and he doesn't come off well.
And finally, a conman has to give his marks something to encourage their continued support, and Trump is losing even this ability because he hates everyone, malice seethes inside him, and he hates most of all that he's approaching his final chapter, and he's too preoccupied with power to give a damn for his people - or any people.
This is a malignant narcissist in decline. It behooves us to take this lesson from history: Malignant narcissists ALWAYS get worse. They NEVER want to go down alone.
This grifter, unable to do anything else competently, and too ill to learn anything new, is returning to his core business - grift. The grift is brazen, and it's at a scale never before seen.
It's the corruption - the grift - that will take him down.
trump’s Iran War is&has been loaded w/illegal orders—that’s why many high ranking Service members were fired or “retired.” They’re required2refuse orders that violate Constitution, int’l human rights or laws of war. Obeying illegal orders isnt valid defense in war crimes tribunal
