In what world does keeping soldiers healthy weaken their ability to fight? (I’ll take my Answer off the air.”

Meaning , of course, has any major newspaper in the U.S.published a column like this? Because all the cool kids have been pointing out how deranged Trump is. For quite a while now.

Trump is too deranged to continue in office Republicans can no longer deny the depth of the president’s cognitive decline and should act for the good of the party

Has any columnist in the U.S. written like this?www.thetimes.com/comment/columnists/artic...

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump I have always been a big fan of Tim Cook, and likewise, Steve Jobs, but if Steve was not taken from the Planet Earth so young, and ran the company instead of Tim, the company would have done well, but nowhere near as well as it has under Tim. For me it began with a phone call from Tim at the beginning of my First Term. He had a fairly large problem that only I, as President, could fix. Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a consultant, who I probably would not have known, but who would say that he knew me well.

The fees would be paid but the job would not have gotten done. When I got the call I said, wow, it's Tim Apple (Cook!) calling, how big is that? I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to "kiss my ass." Anyway, he explained his problem, a tough one it was, I felt he was right and got it taken care of, quickly and effectively. That was the beginning of a long and very nice relationship. During my five years as President, Tim would call me, but never too much, and I would help him where I could. Years latter, after 3 or 4 BIG HELPS, I started to say to people, anyone who would listen, that this guy is an amazing manager and leader. He makes these calls to me,

Thelp him out (but not always, because he will, on occasion, be too aggressive in his ask!), and he gets the job done, QUICKLY, without a dime being given to those very expensive (millions of dollars!) consultants around town who sometimes get it done, and sometimes don't. Anyway, Tim Cook had an AMAZING career, almost incomparable, and will go on and continue to do great work for Apple, and whatever else he chooses to work on. Quite simply, Tim Cook is an incredible guy!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP 235 ReTruths 1.07k Li... 4/21/26, 5:42 AM

Trump on Tim Cook:

“I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to ‘kiss my ass.’”

This is INSANE. DOJ is going to ARREST people for "RIGGING" the election? Can you IMAGINE?

Interesting @markjacob.bsky.social point here: Why not more stand-alone stories with heds like "Trump Is Dismantling Democracy"?

"Such a headline would be easy to support with facts that the NYT and other major media report in isolation every day. They’re simply afraid to hit the total button."

Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on? Suspicious wagers on the US-Israel war in Iran are creating huge windfalls and raising concerns among lawmakers

I'm sure it is just a coincidence, and has nothing to do with the most openly corrupt Administration in history. #TrumpCrimeFamily

Jeremiah 22: 18-10:
“They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
19 He will have the burial of a donkey—
dragged away and thrown
outside the gates of Jerusalem.”

Jeremiah 22:13
“Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying them for their labor.

Can Ipick out the verses for Trump to read
Jeremiah 22: 3 "This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.

The more of it they manage to put up, the more of it we'll have to tear down.

I have long enough to see the "most trusted" mantle pass from Walter Cronkite to Joe Rogan. I may have lived too long.

Ex-model, arrested by Aventura police and deported, causes White House stir A Brazilian brought to the U.S. on an Epstein plane at age 16 lashes out at the Trumps, saying she was betrayed by her friend Melania.

Amanda Ungaro was 16 when she was flown to the US on an Epstein plane. She later became close to the Trumps

On Apr. 8, she went on X to threaten legal action vs Melania “and your pedophile husband”

On Apr. 9, Melania made that odd public statement about Epstein

DHS Expands Deportation Fleet With High-End Jets The contract for five planes doubles the Department of Homeland Security’s fleet of jets to expel immigrants, and includes two Gulfstream planes, according to documents and interviews.

The Department of Homeland Security recently doubled its fleet of jets to carry out deportations under the Trump administration, shelling out $304 million for five planes including two high-end Gulfstreams, according to government documents and interviews.

Thread. What Trump says about the Iran deal and what Iran says about the Trump deal. They are not congruent.

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

OMG

Kash Patel appears to be a drunken national security threat

"Meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled for later in the day as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights."

"A request for 'breaching equipment' ... was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors."

Yes. It’s as though The Times has no memory of who Trump is from one day to the next. On Monday (online) and Tuesday (in print), as you noted, they were questioning his sanity. Today that story is fishwrap. It’s as though it never ran.

There is a certain coherence to the political coverage on @ms.now that is lacking in, say, the @nytimes.com. That’s because MS NOW recognizes and acknowledges that Trump is deranged, inept, and corrupt, whereas the Times is constantly dumbfounded by his behavior and cannot explain it.

When AI answers a question for me, I usually follow up with, how do you know that? And, can you cite a primary source? When you catch it out, it comes clean. The key is not accepting what it says at face value.

In fact, I’ll take it two steps further. Every Trump golf properly should be nationalized and turned into a wind farm.

Endorsed. Fully endorsed. And I’d take it one step further: the full cost of eradicating Trump’s desecration of our public spaces must be charged to the donors who funded them in the first place.

I think I can explain this: If you are with Trump, that is not politics. That’s just the way things should be. Politics is defined as everything that deviates from full allegiance to Trump.

Do you have a dollar in your wallet? Take it out and look at the Great Seal of the United States. The eagle holds arrows of war in one claw and the olive branch of peace in the other. Now look at the design of the new dime. Only arrows? What’s that all about?

He donated the fabric to Trump who wears a suit that’s two sizes too large.
