Hunter Biden: "Bitcoin is down from $120k to $60 k. He was the Bitcoin messiah. He did it like he does everything. He dirtied it, he muddied it. He launched a coin that's dropped in value from $75 to $1.36. And Melania did it. And Barron did it. The boys did something. They took money from the UAE and Saudi and all of a sudden they got a new jet that they get to keep it."
When he’s gone and this is all over, I don’t want to hear a single journalist tell us how terrible he was after spending years normalizing every fucking awful thing he did.
You and the rest of the press are responsible for this.
You relentlessly tore Joe Biden apart over his age, even though he brought stability, dignity, respect, and real results back to the presidency.
Now, the same reporters who dissected Biden’s every word are too cowardly to hold this man accountable, despite the fact that he is clearly unfit in virtually every way.
Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it.
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.
Remember how Republicans went totally batshit when Lloyd Austin took three days to notify the White House about his emergency hospitalization - but when it’s been 41 days & we’re still not sure if Mitch McConnell is alive - the silence is deafening.
I’m pretty sure Mayor Mamdani doesn’t want to live in a city with a man accused of hiring a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, secretly recording the encounter on video, then mailing the tape to his own sister, then going to prison for tax evasion and witness tampering.
