Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
SOUND UP!! Trump fans called Biden Sleepy Joe for years
Now I need MAGA to explain this video with a straight face. 💯
Whatever you do, DO NOT share this.
Would be a shame if Sleepy Don went viral. 🤣
These quick thoughts by Michael Jochum on the disturbing reason Trump gets as much support as he does is a must-read 👇
I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is.
I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.
If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.
If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.
If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.
It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume.
Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.”
And that’s the part that should chill us.
Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform?
Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress.
Now the mask is off. Now we know.
And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand.

LMAOOO, how jealous do you guys think trump will be when he sees President Xi had a massive "bro portrait" made of him and Vladimir Putin?
Be a shame if this got RTed a bunch, and he saw it.😁
Nvidia CEO'su Jensen Huang'a, 'hayatında tanıdığınız en zeki kişi kim' sorusuna cevabı:
- Tanıdığım en zeki insan üniversite giriş sınavından berbat bir puan bile almış olabilir.
- Herkes yazılım programlamanın nihai akıllı meslek olduğunu düşünüyordu.
- Yapay zekanın çözdüğü ilk şey ne oldu? Yazılım programlama.
- Zeki tanımı çoğu insanın düşündüğünden çok farklı.
- Gerçek zeka: Teknik yetenek + İnsan empatisi + Söylenmeyeni anlama becerisi
- Köşelerin ötesini görebilen insanlar gerçekten, gerçekten akıllıdır.
- Sorunları ortaya çıkmadan önce önleyebilmek - sadece havayı hissettiğin için.
- O hava: Veri + Analiz + İlk prensipler + Yaşam deneyimi + Bilgelik + Diğer insanları hissetmek
- İşte bu zekadır.
- Geleceğin zeki tanımı bu olacak.
Ve o kişi SAT'den berbat bir puan alabilir.
This is the night sky on Mars—raw, unfiltered, untouched by a single streetlight.The atmosphere is so thin that every star slices through like a diamond on black glass. No haze, no glow, just infinite clarity.140 million miles from home, our little rover sits beneath a ceiling humanity has never truly seen: a universe stripped of Earth’s comforting blur.Close your eyes and stand there with it. Suddenly the cosmos stops feeling edited for our comfort. It feels brutally honest. And in that vastness, you feel perfectly, gloriously small.
These two giant turtles have been fighting each other for more than 120 years.
According to the zoo, one turtle stole the other’s food 120 years ago, and since that day they became enemies.
There hasn’t been a single day where they don’t fight for 2–3 minutes😂
Umm, yeah, that couldn’t have been more clear. Iran just called him one to his face. Not a roundabout way of saying it, they actually called him a you know what.
