Here's what's going to happen. Trump loses the midterms. He declares massive voting fraud, calls supporters to attack immediately. GOP refuses to accept results. FBI seizes ballots and voting machines within days. Results stall for weeks. Republican officials cancel results in lost districts, order new votes. Protests erupt. Troops deploy under the Insurrection Act. January 3, Congress refuses to seat the Democrats. This isn't prediction. It's pattern. They've already done each of these things.
Her name is Cereese Qusba.
She’s a student journalist at The Cornell Daily Sun, and she spent nearly TWO YEARS pursuing the story of the alleged gang rape at Cornell when much of the campus had moved on.
She built trust with Jane Doe. She kept digging. And when the lawsuit was filed, she was ready. Now the case has a special prosecutor and national attention.
This is why journalism matters. Give Cereese Qusba her flowers.
I genuinely think every airline CEO should have to fly middle seat in economy for 10 hours twice a month.
Same tiny seat. Same limited legroom. Same person reclining in front of you. Same overpriced food.
If you’re running an airline, you should regularly experience the product exactly like your customers do.
@atrupar "Hey... Not you"
The way he steps forward and says this with so much distain and so much evil in his eyes yea tell me again he's not all over the Epstein Files 🤬
I wanted to use Trump's threat to levy 50% tariffs on Canada and Canada's in-his-face response to discuss the underlying behavioral reasons for Trump being so fixated on tariffs.
Trump has no strategy or depth. He has cravings. And two of the cornerstone cravings for Trump, especially now that he's playing out his final chapter on Earth, are greed and grandiosity. These two things, which interrelate, underly almost everything - he is a giant id.
He wants awards, he wants things named after him, he wants oil from this country and a piece of this company and $10B here and billions more there, and all of that is but a subset of what he really wants, which is the knowledge, belief, and portrayal that he can do whatever the f*ck he wants - the ultimate grandiosity.
The legacy media always tries to understand Trump's stubborn fixations by normalizing him and asking: "What's he thinking?" Allow me AGAIN: Trump doesn't think; HE FEELS. He lusts. He craves.
And he likes how tariffs make him feel, because he can be a bully, impose his will, make and remove threats, and cause countries to do his bidding and pay him tribute arbitrarily. THEY FUEL HIS GRANDIOSITY.
How much more American consumers, businesses, and importers pay, is immaterial. None of that matters to Trump. Prices don't matter. Inflation doesn't matter. People don't matter. America doesn't matter.
Bullying, imposing his will, being the center of attention, and threatening others, is the essence of what a malignant narcissist does. Carney knows that and realizes that this is where America is at present.
It's like America didn't even elect a person. It elected a thing, a parasite, a pathology.
