@brianbeutler That stood out to me as well, but I saw it less as an occupier framing and more of a rejection of the job and oaths he took upon assuming office.
In other words: Trump’s use of “your” here reveals how he does not see his job as a civil servant, but as a tribal leader.
@atrupar How do Dems counter public sentiment that they won’t stop talking about trans issues, when MAGA keeps putting words in their mouths?
GOP spent tens of millions on anti-trans ads last cycle. I don’t think a single national Dem had trans rights explicitly on their platform?
@MarcACaputo@TheRickWilson Reading his memoir in high school set me off on a fascination for SE Asia-US history, including multiple visits to Vietnam.
Sad to read of his passing, but glad to see how much he meant to those his words reached.
@LouiseMensch “After Noem and her ‘husband’ and lover is Trump’s admin full of perverts?”
Apparently yes, given how many of the Epstein circle are in his admin.
Leon Black’s son Benjamin for example. Epstein commissioned a portrait of the man, and Trump put him in charge of DFC investments.
@JakeLahut@LizMair@BulwarkOnline this AM newetter noted the seeming trend of firing only women in his Cabinet while leaving the even-more-corrupt and incompetent men secure in their roles. And then I saw this.
Dumb.
The value of the link is in backing up the claim.
The claim can often be backed up from a NYT/WSJ/Bloomberg headline alone. But it’s also a signal you’re willing to let the many power users who do have subscriptions investigate the story further.
Dumb dumb dumb.
@AsyncCollab@unusual_whales China has already negotiated oil supply with Iran using yuan, with multiple ships sending Iranian oil to China over the last week and going around the historical USD-based oil economy we worked so hard to establish.
@GPX_News I hate that this misinfo (and I hope it’s mis and not dis) came through my notifications from an account I’m not even following.
If y’all can’t see it’s exactly shit like this that’s the core of the problem…
@alman08@grok@jakeshieldsajj The context is “when president trump is backed into a corner personally” in both the Mueller investigation then and Epstein files now. Epstein rightly predicted Trump would attack Iran as a distraction from his personal failures. He was right in this case.
@SenFettermanPA Supporting military operations does not require you to give up your warmaking powers. You’re proudly abdicating consititional duty and power because you like the end result. Asshole.
@scott_46gsmer@LeadingReport Dude it’s one of the only sources of revenue for the gov’t.
Home insurance companies have already bailed on the state, in part due to the gov’t slashing of insurance-related funding. Cutting $50B in state revenue will not see the situation improve.
@Jwhitty16@terriaferrara@allenanalysis It is the govt’s duty to show they are illegal before detaining them for long periods, not the other way around.
The DOJ is stretched thin with too many cases to manage, and multiple judges have called them out for failing to release individuals after being so ordered.
