The accent isn’t going to fly here

Sorry but this UK accent is never going to fly in California

Mortifying

Trump’s statements on Iran increasingly contradict each other The president has made conflicting comments on questions both large and small related to the war.

WaPo takes note of Trump’s “oscillating claims” about the war, but avoids the obvious conclusions — that Trump is deranged, that he is unfit, and that he shouldn’t be in charge. This is an example of the normalization of the dangerously abnormal. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Follies

The image is a screen shot from MSNOW's "Chris Jansing Reports" of Jansing interviewing a doctor over the chyron: "Dr. Oz: Trump thinks diet soda kills cancer cells."

We need a new term like "emotional labor" but for how much time and energy this country spends on a daily basis defusing and debunking one man's delusional bullshit.

People are going to be pissed about your spoiler. Including me.

cheesy

Oh sorry, so religion and politics should be separate? Is that what you're saying? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

How would he know?

Vance Says Pope Leo Should Stay Out of U.S. Affairs

JD Vance is supposedly a Catholic who believes the pope is infallible on matters of faith and morals.
The pope says the Trump-Vance conduct of the war is immoral.
Vance’s rejection of the pope’s words raises the question of whether the VP is worshipping his faith or his ambition.

Cancel the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Trump will be guest of honor at the “nerd prom,” with journalists serving as suck-ups

The White House Correspondents' Dinner later this month – with Trump as guest of honor – is shaping up as an embarrassing surrender to a criminal president who is trying to destroy the free press.
Cancel the damn dinner.

Will you still be on the Kings broadcasts???

45 minutes of Ed sighing

Do you really want me to answer that?

The imperative to remove Trump from power goes viral The danger he poses to the country and the world is increasingly obvious to all

More and more people are realizing that the most important and urgent question in the world is how to remove Donald Trump from power. www.headsupnews.org/p/the-impera...

It would be nice if mainstream media would report the obvious fact that the president of the United States is out of his mind. Seems like a highly relevant fact that the media have buried so far, in betrayal of their duty.

Disinvite Trump from the White House Correspondents Dinner. Or cancel it. The alternative is the news media partying with a war criminal whose goal is to crush the free press.

The other way a whole civilization dies is by committing war crimes

Just stay the fuck home

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Infrastructure Week

Has anyone studied the psychic toll of years spent waking up to the unhinged rantings of a vicious madman who could kill us all — and then going about one’s day per usual?

In New Threats, Trumps Seems Emboldened by a Successful Rescue

This is how the NY Times headlined a story about Trump's deranged post in which he wrote "Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards" and made a reference to Allah that Muslims surely find insulting.
To NYT, Trump isn't unhinged – he's "emboldened."

Guess you didn’t see Nirvana at the Cattle Club

Why should I believe any of this?

Boney M!

Why does it give me so much joy to see the Lakers humiliated?

NYTimes Headline: The Women Who Believe That Women Should Lose the Right to Vote Subhead: Adherents to biblical patriarchy support household voting: One household, one vote--the husband's. They say the idea is catching on.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.
