It might also be worth giving some thought to acknowledging that he might actually be a good mayor. Just a possibility to consider...

The posting is unusually self-aware. How many people would be so public in acknowledging that they don't belong there?
So, 44% think it is fine to do the sweep-and-deport process without due process and often including US citizens.
FYI: mail-in voting & using an electronic machine in a vote center in your county are not like online polling. They have many documented & sufficient protections. Note there is no documentation of stray folk attempting repeated voting a) occur in quantity, and b) being effective.
1950, not 1960. A quibble, but worth noting.
This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media
Reminder for political journalists: Since searching through Donald Trump's Truth Social posts is so obnoxiously difficult, my brilliant colleague @chrisgherbert.bsky.social built a comprehensive database a few months ago. It's *super* helpful.
Now includes share buttons for Bluesky!

Excellent. Because trying to work with them over the last 40 years has gone so well?
' ...Elliott Hinkle... [said] what Mace calls assault was "a normal handshake and interaction that I would expect any legislator to expect from anyone as a constituent."
The outlet cited two anonymous witnesses who confirmed Hinkle's version of events. '

What would it mean for them to figuratively wait?
Anyone choosing to believe anything he says has to work hard to ignore the reality of his entire history. When someone lies every day, about everything, for their entire life, there is no art to it. It takes effort to pretend he is not lying.
So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.
They created the narrative, but they did not force anyone to embrace it. Anyone who embraces it has plenty of access to other, legitimate narratives. So, those who embrace this one choose to. They are the problem. Those creating the false narrative are the symptom.
Post from Peter Sweden: BREAKING: The European Federation of Journalists representing 320.000 journalists have announced they will stop posting on X.
They will halt on January 20, 2025 when Trump takes office, noting the “threat to democracy and freedom of expression posed by the cooperation between the president of the most powerful country in the world, Donald J. Trump, and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk…”
By reposting, you increased its visibility and the algorithm's assessment of its popularity.
Alas, so has my responding to your posting.
It's not as if anything he posts is actually newsworthy. Really. Everything he says, he's said before. And if he does say something new, it isn't really new.
Chronicle article is paywalled. Here is detail about why they forfeited...

Oh, I think there is a legitimate concern, with the place we fled from providing ample evidence. It's just that it's so difficult to talk about differences and constraints in ways that are substantive, constructive, and not... manipulative.
Worse is the underlying reality that your own post is a form of manipulation. One with good intentions, but still...
1. When Walmart opens a store, it drives down local wages more than it reduces prices. Some warned of this 20 years ago (me!), but most cities and towns welcomed Walmart anyway. Now, a robust new study shows Walmart’s damage is even worse than feared.
Anger over Smith’s dismissals of the Trump cases is understandable, but it’s the only move he had. By filing preemptively, he keeps the cases alive for 2029. My thoughts in MSNBC Daily.

It is long-past time to stop trying to trivialize the guy. It's not that you are wrong in factual terms, it's that it doesn't matter.
He's elected. THEY now have virtually complete control of very part of the government.
That's what matters.
If you are waiting for this to happen on Jan 20, then you have not been paying attention for the last 20-30 years. Jan 20 is just a celebratory milestone, not the creation of the change.
Given what paying him for the video says about you, the total cost for you is a lot higher than $500...
"Conflict of interest" means your interests conflict with mine, and I'm in power, so you lose.
Wow. A movie titled Part 1 really is only one-half of the story? What a surprise!
Good to note the new 'signal', because gosh, there weren't any signals before this. Always glad to see strong announcement of (very) old news.
Early 1970s, UCLA psych class. Prof always had transvestite woman as guest. This year he also had transgender man; being a guest was last stage of the process for him. Woman had horror story, but was unpleasant. Guy was a delight. 200-300 students reacted to behavior, not appearance or history.
Discount zombie perspectives that easily and who knows what other group will be discounted next?
I am now concerned that they will not be prosecuting people hiding migrants in red states.
