Physical self-harm, agreed. But he’s harming his legal status with his statements and “truths.”

[Brian Andrews @BrianAndrews78]

I am neither an attorney nor a mental health professional but I do not think that Donald Trump meets the criteria of involuntary hospitalization under the Florida Baker Act. Though he is suffering from a form of mental illness I will agree, but he is not in danger of harming himself and he is able to take care of himself.

And he does not seem to be a danger to others in his Immediate circle. He is not personally threatening to harm anyone unless I missed something today. Sadly stochastic terrorism is not against the law. Unless he specifically saying that someone should be put out of their misery or be done away with I don't see how he could be subject to a baker act for florida. And wouldn't he only get seventy two hours until he gets a hearing? He may be sick but I don't think this tactic would work at all. Best to wait for the prosecutors and the upcoming trials.

@donwinslow Remember these POSs? They are the unprincipled assholes who care not for the American people, but for themselves. Christie and the rest of the Republican candidates running for president are no different.

Kari Lake is such a buffoon.

Auditioning for VP on tRump’s loser ticket.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Kari Lake says Trump is outsmarting Jack Smith: “You can’t bring down a giant like Donald J. Trump. I think he would welcome that indictment. Welcome a trial. They’re playing checkers, and Trump is playing chess at the highest level. They don’t want to pick a fight with him.”

if the email lady mishandling three emails has you shitting bricks, wait until you hear about the guy who instructed his pool boy and his butler to go down to the server room of his shitty vermin-infested golf motel and destroy the security tapes that show him pawing through boxes upon boxes of stolen classified documents, and fortunately for us, everyone involved in this super fucking illegal activity was too fucking stupid to get the job done

It appears to be a thing now on the right to cut video clips to make VP Harris sound like an inarticulate idiot. Classic example of trying to hit an opponent’s strong suits. Love her or hate her, she is one of the smartest and most articulate politicians we’ve ever had.

[Khashoggi’s Ghost 🇺🇦🌻 @UROCKlive1]

Tapes of interviews he was doing for a biography scheduled to come out post-presidency. The courts deemed them "personal records" and not subject to the Presidential Records Act.

Incidentally, the PRA says pretty much the exact opposite of what Trump says it does.

Okay, you were forcibly taken from your loved ones and community, chained to the deck of a ship, and if you didn’t die, you became property of a slaveholder who may or may not have provided adequate shelter & food but probably no medical care.

But that’s all ok because *skills.*

I've filmed the boxes, file boxes with blue tape over the months being moved in and put of Trump Tower when Trump arrived after the election. I found this amazing thread with the journey of the boxes by @the_peetape https://t.co/d6JHLTEWsH

Oh, but don’t forget tRump’s latest: ’It was the uprising of a major movement.’

Also ‘a false flag operation.’

"The Secretary of Defense is remarking that hostile powers are delighted with the chaos a US Senator from Alabama is causing in the US military. It is frightening, unacceptable and infuriating."

Tommy Tuberville is an active threat to our nation: https://t.co/8N0U8wPBXA

Enjoyed meeting with these West Point cadets, including a cadet from Alabama.

I was deeply impressed with these young people, and I am even more convinced that the future of our military is strong.

Senator Tommy Tuberville's decision to block military promotions has been deemed as dangerous by critics[1]. This action has raised concerns for several reasons:

Harming civil-military relations: By blocking military promotions, Senator Tuberville is undermining the trust and relationship between the military and civilian leadership[1]. This can have long-term consequences for the effectiveness and cohesion of the military.

Undermining military readiness: The halt on promotions can disrupt the chain of command and create uncertainty within the military ranks[1]. This can have a negative impact on military readiness and operational effectiveness.

Damaging military retention: The inability for military officers to advance in their careers due to the promotion block can lead to frustration and demoralization[1]. This may result in talented officers leaving the military, which can have a detrimental effect on the overall strength and capabilities of the armed forces.

It is important to note that Senator Tuberville's block on military promotions is specifically tied to his opposition to Pentagon policy on abortion[2]. Critics argue that this approach is reckless and puts political considerations above the well-being and effectiveness of the military[2].

While Senator Tuberville's hold on promotions does not have the power to ultimately stop Pentagon nominees from being approved, it can significantly delay the process and impact the progression of military officers[4]. This has raised concerns among lawmakers and military officials.

In conclusion, the decision by Senator Tuberville to block military promotions has been criticized as dangerous due to its potential negative impact on civil-military relations, military readiness, and military retention.

Between 'Oppenheimer' serving as a strong reminder of the ability of one person to start a nuclear war and the appalling misconduct of MAGA Republican leadership in deference to Donald Trump, it should be clear that we need to elect honorable leaders in 2024: https://t.co/d4CwSo0R4q

The IRS collected $38 million from 175+ millionaire tax cheats in the past months — one bought a Maserati & a Bentley instead of paying taxes they owed. House Republicans want to slash IRS funding to protect wealthy tax cheats — we should be increasing it.https://t.co/NXZtHuZfLu
