A new report shows there are 57 Trump officials worth at least $100 million.
Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg: "This government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Donald Trump: A government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich.
I like how delusional some clothing descriptions are. You read the tag and it’s like, “Hand wash only. Tumble dry on low.” Son, you’re a cotton T shirt. You’re going in the washing machine, and whatever happens in there is in God’s hands.
A truly WILD story. This appears to be the order of operations:
1. Trump flies to Turkey on the new Qatari-gifted Air Force One for the NATO summit.
2. An Iranian assassination threat triggers a secret “deception operation.” Security officials devise a plan to conceal which aircraft Trump is actually traveling on.
3. The Qatari-gifted Air Force One leaves Turkey first, without Trump.
4. Trump publicly boards the legacy Air Force One in Ankara, walking up the stairs and waving for cameras, creating the appearance that this is his plane home.
5. Trump secretly exits Air Force One through the other side of the aircraft and gets into an airport catering truck raised to the plane’s door.
6. The catering truck drives Trump to a smaller Air Force C-32A, a modified Boeing 757 parked nearby.
7.. Trump secretly boards the C-32A. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also boards separately.
8. Reporters and some White House staff board the legacy Air Force One, apparently unaware Trump is no longer aboard. They are instructed to close their window shades. (Remember all that reporting from the time?)
9. The legacy Air Force One takes off as a decoy and eventually uses the “AF1” call sign despite Trump not being aboard.
10. Trump’s actual C-32A flies secretly to Britain under the nondescript call sign “Reach 18,” with its normal flight-tracking systems reportedly switched off.
11. Trump arrives at RAF Mildenhall in Britain on the C-32A, shortly before the decoy Air Force One arrives.
12. Trump somehow transfers back onto the legacy Air Force One after landing. The Post says exactly how this transfer occurred remains unclear.
13. Trump then emerges from the legacy Air Force One in front of cameras, making it appear as though that was the aircraft he had flown from Turkey.
14. Trump boards the Qatari-gifted Air Force One in Britain and finally flies back to Washington with the press and staff.
P.S. Remember when Trump told the reporters on the plane, "I go, you go," in regard to the plane being targeted? It actually seems Trump left and endangered the lives of everyone on board.
Trump learning about the assassination attempt in Turkey…
— like Odysseus learning about Sybil & Charybdis, from Tiresias in Hades.
“Yeah, I can afford to lose Stephen Miller and Marco Rubio.”
🚨 BREAKING:
“I carry the image of a Muslim child who was killed in Lebanon, who, during my visit to Lebanon, was there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. I cannot support war.”
People outside academia believe all faculty including adjuncts are paid enviously well until you tell them the real number and then you only get either pity or mockery
@bluewdrift “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost (1923)
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
that person who makes your pulse quicken when they walk into a room? temporary. the way afternoon light falls across your kitchen table in september? seasonal. the feeling of being so happy you forget to be afraid? fleeting. And somehow that makes it more, not less. 2/6
