Trump trying his best to make BRICS happen.
^doubled
Evidently there was a big move on Kalshi in the past hour. Wonder if PolyMarket double too?
Yep— best way to get ahead right now is outright fraud and sycophancy.
👀
The culinary culture was incredible. We enjoyed the architecture in Kyoto but my son was mostly interested in Pokemon Centers.
I’m ashamed to admit that on our last visit to Japan, my husband and son came home with matching shirts featuring Godzilla stomping through the Great Wave off Kanagawa.
I would also like to register my strong opposition to a senseless wag-the-dog war against Venezuela, or even another unsuccessful bombing campaign like the one where we blew billions failing to stop Iran’s nuclear program…or the fighter jets Hegseth sunk failing to defeat the Houthis.
Especially if he pivots to invading Venezuela (or some other equally stupid and destructive policy) tomorrow. A world where Trump is almost dead is possible, in fact, it’s inevitable. ::hums the opening bars of Fleetwood Mac’s Don’t Stop::
“Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone…powered by the local labor camps.”
Ah yes, I’ve been to Tokyo Disney…maybe the highest ratio of adults without children to families of any of the parks worldwide. Couldn’t believe how many adults were willing to wait 1h+ to meet characters. I agree people who scarred by real life trauma are more likely to appreciate Disney escapism.
I have loved Dire Straits music (especially Sultans of Swing) for decades, but only ever heard it on classic rock stations, so I presumed they’d look like the one of the 70s rock bands, maybe CCR, based on their music… nothing could prepare me for them looking like Cobra Kai (original movie) kids.
Bluesky moderated it for me, my fault for clicking. 🫠
Wait, what is huge in Japan?
Not just human rights atrocities but human rights atrocity centers perfectly staged for flattering camera angles and likes.
Wait, which news?
Thanks.
So he hasn’t spoken to the press at all in …. 6 days now? 🤔
What am I supposed to be looking at here?
Friends of Epstein reunite for one last adventure.
The Instagram-ready prisons and the BTC.

Catholic schools but with less Christianity and (even) more pedo grooming.
All of Trump’s besties are having a big party without him. If he was still sentient, this would really hurt his feelings.
Where’s the other dude who was lamenting just a few months ago that everybody knew Biden was declining but nobody in the media did anything to expose it? Anybody go to him for comment recently?
Is Laufer someone who would be likely to hear anything legitimate? Have to seriously doubt the judgment of anybody who thinks Trump living out his term is good for America.
If they are only releasing a (purported) transcript and no video, especially with the ability to edit and enhance via AI, this would be the most ominous sign for Trump’s health yet.
So basically just pushing Tucker Carlson/Russia’s views and attributing them to Trump?
I assume they are guzzling steroids in hopes of puffing up their faces like their orange idol.
AML and also FCPA.
I think they just really hate that some liberals didn’t sacrifice all their principles to get ahead in the age of Trump-Thiel kleptocracy. It reminds me of how GOP reluctant-convert toadies come to hate NeverTrump conservatives with the fire of 1000 suns.

Meanwhile, Trump’s America is racing as fast it can towards a “communism with Chinese characteristics” style economy.
I was thinking last night that both Putin and Xi probably have a better idea of how far gone Trump is than any Democrat (and most Republicans) in Congress.
I assume the close family members have some lock-up obligations (and/or don’t want to panic sell triggering a run across all their various crypto projects?) but who knows? I would watch to see if any of the Trump kids flee the country. Would you trust Vance not to prosecute you if you were them?
Short Trump coin and all his family’s other crypto scams, I think?
Yikes, genuinely surprised many of them are willing to step foot in Saudi Arabia, let alone prop up the regime that killed Kashoggi.
I mean, we know the whole building is full of trash…
“Biden: ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A President That Isn’t Decomposing, Huh?’
Yeah, submitting week old (pre-public disappearance) photos as proof of life is even more suspicious than the (media whore) president’s avoiding the press for… 5 days now?
Oh man, if my husband had a truck he’d do this just to upset our MAGA neighbor.
I think they want high multiples briefly for a few exits and then they want a huge crash so they can buy up America’s best companies on the cheap and subject the middle and upper middle classes.
Answered my own question: nope! bsky.app/profile/jeno...
Ugh, both NYT + WaPo appear to have zero mention of Trump’s unusual silence or reusing old photos as proof of life, instead the NYT is focusing on Cracker Barrel to suggest Trump is engaged with culture wars and WaPo waxes on about relationship between Trump and Kennedy. bsky.app/profile/fron...
Ok, but are they going to have a band playing Fortunate Son?
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m hoping this is a joke but afraid it’s literally true.
Which vegetable gets tossed in the trash first? bsky.app/profile/bwna...
You don’t think Vance will be even more friendly to crypto scams? His puppet masters have a lot of 2021 vintage garbage to unload on the public markets and/or 401(k) holders?
I will not. 🤢
“If you’re a dictator who tricked Trump into believing you’re his friend while actually screwing him waiting for your turn to totally humiliate him, stay in line, he’s not quite dead yet.”
Is *anybody* at WaPo or NYT reporting that the White House tried to pass off photos (as proof Trump isn’t a vegetable) that were actually taken last weekend? Looks pretty desperate to me. What’s next, AI “Trump” phoning into Fox?
Is *anybody* at a major national news reporting that the White House tried to pass off photos from last weekend as this weekend?
Look, there’ve been a lot of advances in robotic exoskeletons (for the disabled) over the past decade and I think it would be hilarious if they tried to put an obese, physically feeble, and mostly brain dead president in such a contraption and just threw a giant pleather sack over the whole thing.
A fun new twist on the Truss v Lettuce countdown.
I’ve been praying for a miracle but I’ll settle for a good old fashioned schism.
You think Vance and Thiel want the price of publicly owned equity to go up? 🤨
Do they make a Darth Vader suit contraption in XXXL?
I guess it’s Xi’s turn to make Trump look foolish and impotent now. Do you think Xi and Putin have a formal rotation schedule worked out?
This might be even better than him keeling over in the next few days.
Tump loves talking to the press. He does it basically everyday. Now he hasn’t been heard from since, what, Wednesday? Yeah that ain’t right.
Making the world safe for genocidal dictators.
I don’t know, he’s got big usurper energy.
Kinda surprised he hasn’t turned on JD.
Technically it probably started working by the 10 day mark at the latest…it was clear things were looking bad about a week ago, right?
There’s still time to join in: bsky.app/profile/ferm...
“Tesla told [the judge] that the verdict would ‘invite future juries to punish manufacturers who bring new safety features to market with sweeping and unpredictable tort liability.’” Your Honor, how can I possibly innovate new “safety features” if you put a high value on human life and safety?
There would be a beautiful irony to the president obsessed with “invalid autopen” conspiracy theories becoming a vegetable himself.
We haven’t had to see him or hear from him in about 48 hours, I’ll enjoy the streak as long as it continues.
^off Might be bedtime for me on the West Coast.
So not too far of from the actual news then.
You’re not going to get Swan Lake from these bozos, but you might get Cats.
I was thinking of The Snake.
With names like Euphoria and Deliverance.
“They’re only saying he’s alive to suck up to China.”
With any luck, they’ll all be in prison by the end of the decade.
Possibly his kids and Melania are playing rock-paper-scissors for it as we meme.
Risky surgery green-lit by fabricated medical records seems very possible for this administration.
The KGB snake and the bumpkin American president who loved him.
How amazing would it be if it turned out that Putin poisoned him in the Beast? A morality tale for the ages.
After a year of porking out, maybe. I just hope it’s a mockumentary.
I’ve decided that the best option is a water balloon filled with animal urine to be lobbed at the gravesite/MAGA altar.
TL;dr from America is: nobody has seen him in a day or two, and he has no plans to golf this weekend; meanwhile, JD Vance keeps telling people he’ll be ready on day 1 because he’s been VP for a few months. Best to have bubbly on hand just in case.
🎶 Springtime, for tech bros and JD Vance; Winter for Holland and France….
If you mean the 1970s song by Mountain, then yes.
JD Vance heard “Slay, Queen” and misinterpreted it as a literal direction.
You need to make sure it’s chilled to the correct temperature (I believe it’s below fridge temp but don’t take my word for it) before sabering.
Morning coffee already? We are wrapping up date night relishing the (recently-unfamiliar) feeling of euphoria.
He’s not golfing or in front of sycophantic media, he must be dying.
They’re gonna play Cats, maybe just Memory, over and over.
Trying to think of the last time Trump put together a single sentence that has the level of (relative) sophistication of “incorrectly said.”
It’s all yours, no attribution necessary.
The general word choice and sentence structure is at least 3 grade levels above true Trump style.
I think in MAGA-America they’d just be streaming Tiger King or maybe CATS in honor of our departed leader.
If Trump hasn’t done a press conference in over 24 hours, he’s gotta be in very bad shape.
“It goes to the concerns voters have about Donald Trump and his unpopular policies, consistent with every single poll putting him underwater for months.” (This is exactly how they would write the lede if it was people giddy at the prospect of Biden’s death or incapacity.)
I’m just saying, if there’s only seconds on the clock and you need to get somebody that you’re pretty sure will do absolutely anything for money to Trump’s bedside asap, who better to call than a Daily Caller journalist?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Is it bad that my thought was “aww, somebody liked Trump enough to set him up with one last BJ”?
