3 days in and Trumps fair is already falling apart. A 16 day event that costs American taxpayers 80 million bucks.

“The exhibits are entirely empty, the fields have nobody in them. Even the main attraction, the Ferris wheel, ran out of power last night and was shut down all evening,” said podcaster Adam Mockler.

“We have melting ice cream, we have not enough tables so kids are being forced to eat on the ground. And on top of all of that, even some exhibits have a Confederate flag… I mean, it doesn’t really matter because they’re all empty anyway.”

Everything Trump touches truly does die.

I was looking forward to 250 my whole life after all the 200 quarters and stories and stuff.

But everything Trump touches dies

The footage of her talking to the cops on the side of the road is such a painfully glaring example of how often women are immediately dismissed and treated as crazy and overly sensitive/emotional when exhibiting clear signs of fear and trauma. Their lack of awareness and immediate brush off while they joked and catered to ‘him’ despite all of the evidence slapping them in the face made my stomach turn.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

what’s wild about the Gabby Petito story is she not only told the cops he was abusing her and exhibited ALL signs of being abused, but unlike most other DV victims, and a random stranger called it in, too. A *stranger* called 911.

nd yet the Moab cops still assisted her abuser, not her. That’s the most insane thing to me. She had witnesses. Most abuse happens behind closed doors.

Even with *witnesses* women are still not believed.

If the worst thing that comes from apron + tax penalties is that OKC can’t hoard Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins types, I think the system is working just fine. I would rather see Joe playing 30 mins a night in Detroit in the playoffs than playing 11 per night with some DNP-CDs.

Forty years ago, they masked their racism in "welfare queens" and "states rights." Ten years ago, they masked their racism in "white working class economic anxiety." But now, the mask has been dropped and it's just 190 proof unfiltered hatred. Really gross stuff.

How about adultery? That’s actually in the Bible.

BREAKING🚨 The woman who accused Harvey Weinstein of r*ping her just walked away from the case — not because it wasn't true, but because the system broke her before it broke him.

Her name is Jessica Mann. She has spent EIGHT YEARS testifying against Weinstein. Two grand juries. Three trials. She told the same painful story over and over, sat through cross-examination about the most traumatic thing that ever happened to her, and never once wavered.

This week, she said she couldn't do it a fourth time. And honestly, who could?

Read what she wrote to the court: "The court gave so many privileges to Harvey Weinstein that it makes accountability nearly impossible. I have not had power or position in any of this. I have not had great wealth, nor have I had my own long-term legal representation."

And then this, which should stop you cold: she said pursuing justice "is better left a pipe dream."

Let that sink in. Not "I made it up." Not "it didn't happen." A woman who told the truth, consistently, for eight years, finally concluded that the system is so stacked toward a rich and powerful man that justice was never actually on the table for someone like her.

To be clear about what this is and isn't: Weinstein is still in prison. He's still convicted of sexually assaulting another woman in New York, and of rape in California. Prosecutors said plainly they believe Mann. They called her brave. This isn't him being cleared. It's him being protected by exhaustion — by a process designed so that a billionaire with endless lawyers can outlast a survivor until she simply can't stand up again.

That's the quiet way powerful men win. Not innocence. Attrition.

One way to push back against an authoritarian is to mock him.

trump is so weak and insecure he is now demanding our respect.

So I’m sending him my favorite picture below.

Feel free to retweet and send your favorite picture or video to @realDonaldTrump.

So much FOMO.

What a party!!!!

[Paul Niland @PaulNiland]

In recent days @elonmusk has claimed "all DOGE did was ask for contact details of grant recipients to check there was no fraud."

1) That's an absolute lie.
2) How much fraud was uncovered? None. Fact.
3) He shut the entire operation anyway.
4) Result: 750,000 needless deaths.

[S A M M Y Woodhouse @officialsammyuk]

I am absolutely disgusted by The Daily Mail’s headline.

They didn’t “romp”. He plied her with alcohol and raped her, and she took her own life.

The headline is as disgusting as the sentencing.

[John Aravosis 🇺🇸🇬🇷🏳️‍🌈 @aravosis]

This is the food court at Trump’s “Great American State Fair.” There’s nowhere to sit or eat here or anywhere in the entire fair. Families are literally sitting on the dirty ground to eat lunch.

[Olive Siffleur @OliveSiffleur]

no reasonable person can defend a system in which drugging & raping one's own child and causing their suicide is punished 30 to 100 times less severely than protesting a concentration camp

My favorite factoid in that primary was when Bill Clinton tried to get Ted Kennedy to endorse Hillary by saying “Cmon Ted, Obama looks like the guys who used to bring our bags to the car” which pissed him off so much he not only broke for Obama but compared him to JFK and RFK lol

[. @LouiseRawAuthor]

I will be pursuing a press complaint against you @DailyMail for this revolting, dangerous, damaging headline.

His poor daughter went to live with him after a difficult life, hoping for love and stability. He got her blind drunk & raped her. She killed herself.
Shame on you.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Trump’s “Great American State Fair” looks like a county fair that lost its funding halfway through construction.

I love this for him.

[shelby @thetrueshelby]

So the Great American State Fair lasted approximately 17 minutes before a guy got caught masturbating in public.

America 250. 🇺🇸
