People of Maine have been embarrassed long enough.
“It’s a way of bringing people together.” John Hersh, a retired teacher, has been playing taps at sunset for his Jersey Shore neighbors for a decade. His serenades create an inflection point, a moment to pause and reflect on a day gone by.
General Hertling has it exactly right.
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Some Republicans? The silent minority.
Thank you, Joe Biden.
Who was president the last time we had a national medical crisis?
Cassidy’s a joke.
From retired General Mark Hertling on Air Force plans to honor Ashli Babbitt @markhertling.bsky.social
Disgraceful.
And cranky. :-)
Certainly Biden never demanded attention. And when he did, it wasn't very dynamic.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Four years ago, from @willsommer.bsky.social and me: www.thedailybeast.com/former-presi...
You better define normal for them.
Birds of a feather.
Some days I think trump is miller’s lackey.
Because corgi is a Welsh word, I have always considered "Welsh corgi" redundant.
Fact check: True.
Technically, a doctor did the lying, but it's still on him.
I was wrong about Trump before I was right about Trump.
George Conway on Donald Trump: “This man is an adjudicated sexual abuser. Found liable for something that most people, as the judge said three times, consider rape. There is no bottom with him.”
Idk. Boebert is pretty dumb.
It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.
Might be a heads-up to the folks in ICE or the ICE wannabes
That's silly.
My hero.
I like Bolton.
Today in Politics, Bulletin 191. Trump heads out to patrol the streets of DC with the military, and everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.
Good one, George.
Good morning- Epstein files can be released today if Trump wants to. “Why would anyone protect those scum bags? Ask yourself this question daily…”
Thank you, Joe Biden.
If Trump is the benchmark, everyone else would pass muster.
This is crazy. What's the point of having international journalists in the United States if they don't have the freedom and flexibility to cover anything they want that is accessible to U.S. citizens? This is very short sighted. Hell, DUMB!
Don Quixote?
Warmth for a dictator who kidnaps Ukrainian children? Clearly Trump's moral compass is askew, if he even has one.
Too bad she's a Trumper. I'd consider voting for her if she wasn't.
This Russian television analysis is far more cogent and factual than the some of those that Fox News aired on Friday night.
I beg to differ. Quite a number of units seem to be near the White House.
I think it's Trump who's making it hard to end the war.
Good morning everyone! I hope you all have oh ya Epstein Epstein Epstein Trump could release this files immediately
I inferred from that comment that Bolton thinks Trump is having cognitive issues a la Biden.
Donald Trump is no Ronald Reagan. Is there any real leader in the GOP? Will somebody save us from Trump!
It's Saint Petersburg, Trump. Learn some history.
That was then. :-)
Trump doesn't seem to understand the nature of the conflict. Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia, go home. End of war.
Cassidy needs to check in with his doctor to see if he still has a spine.
It could have been a Trojan horse. People are very good at playing Trump.
No sympathy
They served; they deserve the benefits. You don't change the rules in the middle of the game.
So Trump doesn't like it when other people use the fake line. Only he knows what is fake and what isn't.
TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸
What did Trump say about people who took the fifth? GUILTY!
How to read the Epstein files: Wherever there's a redaction, insert Trump and if it makes sense, then you know.
Four children and 14 grandchildren. I can only infer which cult he belongs to but I'm betting on Mormon.
Please don't. The Strait of Messina is fine. Don't destroy it with a bridge.
He was fine until he went over to the dark side. I'm sure some CNN anchors don't like having to use him. Remember when Conway called him out and dim bulb Casie Hunt defended him?
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
I wonder if it will have any effect on him.

Sadly I have come to that conclusion — and I am a lifelong Republican.
TRUMP & EPSTEIN SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
The base will believe it.
I am so sick of the left saying that Trump is in the Epstein Files. He’s the President and deserves top billing. Epstein is in the Trump Files
My son Griffin knew that "Car 54, Where Are You?" is one of my all-time favorite comedies & drew this for my birthday. The likenesses of Fred Gwynne & Joe E. Ross are absolute perfection & he even included the theme song! I treasure it as one of my most prized possessions. Thanks Griff 🙏 ❤️, dad
There's a subtext when you hear it. Fantasy, I assume.
Projection.
Here! Here!
In other words, nothing surprises you. 🤣
www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/29/d... Trump 100% KNEW what Epstein was doing. HE KNEW.
Best of luck, coach. It can't be fun.
I thought it was also revealing that the senator kept insisting that files given to the grand jury were therefore secret and only the courts could release them (which we know isn't going to happen). Tapper also corrected him on that — twice, if memory serves.
My advice: Named chair at some prestigious law school. Academic life is the best.
Good thing they weren't snapping turtles.
“Moral maggot” is a legendary and bulls-eye accurate description of the exploitative and predatory behavior of narcissistic personality disordered psychopaths who exist without conscience.
Tariff threats. The new way to end wars.
15/ Unless solutions are implemented, the future is uncertain. “We are already dipping from a trust fund,” lead author Hrishikesh Chandanpurkar says. “We don’t actually know how much the account has.” For more, read @abrahm.bsky.social's story, w/ graphics by @lucaswaldron.bsky.social:
I don't think it's remarkable at all. It's typical Trump.
No sympathy for those Venezuelan-Americans who voted for Trump.
Nothing like a Friday afternoon to drop a big graphics projects!

Autopen
I'm waiting for Jamie's book. Inside CNN. :-)
And the intellectually challenged Sen. Tim Scott is right there repeating the mistake just to give Trump credence.
But can she trust Trump?
Lutnick has replaced Navarro as the court jester.
NEVER....EVER....STOP...TALKING...ABOUT...THE EPSTEIN COVERUP. Let's keep the main thing...the main thing!!🔥🔥
I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
Especially in Washington.
It's called objectivity. Dumb.
A lot better than Comer, who is a disgrace to Kentucky.
No you don’t
again I don’t why I reposted this and I don’t see any relevance to anything going on today so consider this a just random thing
Winner winner chicken dinner
The malignant narcissist will DO ANYTHING to protect his idealized self.
