The distractions are just getting weird now. Trump complaining about starvation in Gaza and shortening the Putin "deadline".

You missed the video where his caddie "places: the ball in a good spot for him to avoid a pond....the truth is we are getting pretty burnt out with all these fake emergencies. Essentially we have no government at all, running on fumes...

So we know his attempts to distract are pathetic, and we roll our eyes. Is there any evidence that these tactics aren't working on the orcs, or is there any evidence that the orcs are also rolling their eyes at these pathetically transparent attempts to defang the Epstein thing and saying, "Give me a break"?

Well, he did sign that weird executive order about homeless people and involuntary commitment.

And it seems like everything else that was already started is still rolling along without him needing to do anything.

no longer believe he's making these posts. methinks he's got a peon or two who have copied his style and are just shit posting in his name, whether with some ai editing help or not.

Did his golf highlight reel cover his cheating?

Obviously Trump paid someone for an endorsement - every accusation is a confession. And Harris used Beyoncé’s song during her campaign. Surely paying for the rights to intellectual property is legal. (Never having created anything, Trump couldn’t be expected to know that.)

CNN's fact-checker Daniel Dale did an on-air segment on the Beyonce "payment", if you can find it. Basically, there is no record of any $11 million dollars paid to her by the campaign; there are some expenses that were covered, I believe, but nowhere near that amount. And, interestingly, it is actually NOT illegal to pay for an endorsement!!

The fact that Americans cannot recognize that Donald Trump is mentally ill signals a lot about the mental health of America.

Tim & Sam - these updates have made my weekend. Let’s hope the people who really want to get justice for the girls who were victimized actually want to look behind the curtain. Also, is someone keeping a running tally of how much we are spending on his golf trips? Is it enough for USAID? Medicaid and Medicare? UNICEF? Inquiring minds want to know.

Just in case you missed it: Brian Tyler Cohen posted a podcast today showing tRumpy cheating on his Scottish golf course. Some minion tosses a golf ball out of his pocket into the grass next to a sand trap, and tRumpy hauls his lard ass out of his golf cart to go hit the dropped ball as if that was his real ball’s position.

Yeah, he can’t hit out of a sand trap and he can’t find an escape from the Epstein trap. Awww, it sucks to be stuck!

1/8 of a Cialis. Lame. ... They've switched to their "deal" with the EU. (Haven't looked at it yet.)

I saw a headline for Fox News that said the admin's plan is to "flood the zone" with all their "amazing accomplishments."

(Hey Fox guys, you aren't supposed to tell what the evasion technique is!)

I was at the Beyonce rally, and the only booing was when Colin Allred mentioned Ted Cruz's name. And the booing quickly evolved into very long, very loud "Beat Ted Cruz" chants.

I will say that while waiting in line for 3 hours to get into the stadium, many of us did speculate about what Beyonce might sing, but the theme of the night was women losing their reproductive rights, and most of the speakers were Texas women sharing their horror stories about pregnancy complications.

So, Beyonce doing a mini-concert on the heels of those stories might not have been appropriate. That said, Willie Nelson did sing a few songs, but that was before the women told their stories.

How hard would it be to have had Beyonce sing a little something? I thought it was a poorly planned dud. It set up a predictable disappointment & made Beyonce out to be an unlikable prima donna.

Am I mistaken, or didn't Trump PAY people to pretend that they supported him when he came down the golden escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy? What does he have to say about that? Should he be prosecuted for paying for endorsements? How many counts would that be? Wish someone in the main stream media would question him on this.
