Ivana made fun of his hair plugs and he violently attacked her, according to her book - though she later recanted the story, when he was running for office. I did think he was very ill, but a botched scalp job makes more sense.

He famously avoided syphilis - he said "Avoiding syphilis was my Vietnam."

The AI response about Nov or Dec 2019 disappearances was "nope." And it confirmed no disappearance during the period of his own Covid diagnosis, as you learned. This is the first time in a decade he has avoided the press this long, as far as I can learn.
Our fourth estate is owned by the maga oligarchs, and sold it's soul for clicks and cash. Even independent media isn't defending us as seriously as it should - and only a slim minority is tuned in. Imagine the news if all this were happening in Obama's second term.
We also have an ugly partisan thing going on - which you can see by the weird lack of 24 hour News Event coverage of the president's apparent illness. If Dems owned the news, we would have totally different news. It shouldn't be partisan at all. So - two fixes needed, at least.
I fundamentally don’t think the US genuinely reverses its tailspin unless we dramatically change the media ecosystem. A vast swath of our fellow citizens’ brains are just being poisoned all day every day in a way that is impossible to address without the root cause.
When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
I’m sorry, WHAT?
Classified documents? Evidence of a crime? They will say a bathroom is being remodeled. We won't ever know even a tenth of what's going on.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
I can't think of a more perfect way to sum up what is happening in all corners of life + politics in the late-stage capitalist oligarchy hellscape that is the United States: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." -Upton Sinclair
This was one of my motivations to try AA. Alcoholism is boring.
Brilliant
You might as well have said - "I haven't learned what love is about yet! Haha! I am ignorant about love!" But answer the question. What crime has Melania committed that deserves the death penalty, in your book?
Banning books instead of guns is exactly what radicalized me.
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Kristi Noem: "I do know that LA wouldn't be standing today if President Trump hadn't taken action."
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Smoke seen rising above Gaza City as Israeli actions continue
The Kremlin appears to have launched a coordinated information campaign demonstrating military strength on the battlefield to shape Western thinking and falsely portray a Russian victory as inevitable. This is stated in a report by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
He believes in vaccinations enough to have had all his own children fully vaccinated. If only rich white men got measles, nobody would get measles. I think the Heritage Foundation has a nefarious agenda being played out through RFK Jr. But I don't know.
The OP is vile, misogynistic, and heartless. Also stupid. Have a nice day.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Rahab was a sex worker who wisely concealed two men to save all her relatives from the inevitable battle that was coming. We learn about Rehab in Sunday School. She was a direct ancestor of Jesus. Some of the nicest people I've met are sex workers. You would love them. Melania hasn't hurt you.
My apologies - I thought when you were asked to contrast HRC and Melania, your saying "HRC is not a gold digger" implied that Melania was.
You don't know enough about vaginas to have a worthwhile conversation about this. You are sexist to the point of misogyny - you simply don't know basic things about power imbalance, coercion, and sexual abuse. Thank God juries are given more instruction on this than you have been. Go learn.
"Monica consented." Yikes. Well, I can see why you posted your sexist, awful response to this misogynistic, evil thread. If you ever want to cultivate a real belief in equality, instead of paying it lip service while secretly scorning women, watch some Ted Talks on feminism. Monica has one.
Right. That's just what you sound like. Sexist and awful. And you probably think Ivanka was the victim of incest but deserved it, too. She's all grown up now. So she carries some blame. And all djt's other adult victims deserved it, too. Just keep blaming the victims.
You know that Melania was a model, which is what Epstein promised the girls he coerced. You sound like the people who slut shamed Monica Lewinsky, who was 21 when Clinton coerced her. There was a huge imbalance of power, but carry on being sexist and awful. www.msn.com/en-us/family...
You used "Hookers get paid to stay" to call Melania a prostitute, as if that were a bad thing. Your response is disingenuous. I don't care how big your blind spot for Melania is - many people you admire have married for money - but don't think you believe in equality for all people. You don't.
She has never been a prostitute, that we know of, but why are you using prostitute as a label of scorn? I thought maybe you weren't sexist and hypocritical, looking at your bio, but I was wrong. Better work out if you hate women, though. Muting.
It's an ugly, evil question. For many reasons. She never ran for office. She hasn't done anything we wouldn't defend if HRC or Harris had done it. Dems have a blind spot when it comes to Melania and Ivanka - we are a bunch of hypocrites and think it's okay to shame them when we shouldn't.
But who cares what label you want to put on her? Do you do this with men? He is a gigolo, but not a kind of gigolo who ... He modeled nude, or married for money, so he is a male prostitute of this kind but .... It's all sexist slut shaming, contrary to liberal and Christian ideology.
Good luck living in any time in history or place on the globe where the ruling class has morals that exclude a desire for money and power. Do you think HRC didn't want money and power? I don't think that's really why you posted that, anyway - were you thinking Melania hurt your grandkids?
That's what some in maga say about all the victims, at least the ones who grew up and spoke out. I even met a Texan Dem who blamed the victims of child incest like this. "She wanted it" - ugh. Do you want to say gross things like that?
You are filled with scorn for prostitutes, obviously, and probably for all women, but go whistling about your business until it hits you hard in the middle of the night some day.
So you came in to say she's a prostitute but forgot to mention you support prostitutes? This whole thread is misogynistic and evil. Your heart is better than this, Dustin.
Let's all do this. That money has to go somewhere.
Which would make her an Epstein victim.
What do you have against prostitutes? Were you hurt by a gang of them?
Why are you slut shaming her? Eleanor Roosevelt "got into the White House" through her sexual partner, too - and Mary Todd Lincoln, and Martha Washington. What is wrong with you? This is disgusting.
Melania might be an Epstein victim, too, I understand.
This really is ignorant. It might surprise you to learn that some of the most well educated and accomplished women (and men) in history have married for money. What did Melania ever do to you?
If she's in the files, wouldn't she be a victim? Do you hate all the Einstein victims?
Hating prostitutes is contrary to liberal (and Christian) ideology.
Wow. Would you really murder Melania? For what? I haven't heard of her committing treason - in fact, it's my impression that she loves America. She brought her parents here. Why do you want her murdered?
If she is in the files, wouldn't she be in them as a victim? Do you hate the Epstein victims?
Why do you hate prostitutes?
Who cares if she were a prostitute? Did you get hurt by a bunch of prostitutes?
This is so ugly and against every tenet of liberal ideology, from equal rights to compassion. Don't claim to be a liberal or a feminist, or care about equal rights while slut shaming a woman - who isn't even a public servant. That's the answer to the question. She is not an elected official.
Modern Biblical miracle. God makes armies turn on themselves in the Bible.
Thank you for being the one who helps.
I always think magas would stop romanticizing Russia if they knew the government controls the thermostats. That loss of one small freedom would be enough to snap most Americans out of their fantasy.
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
I did a little research on the idea that Melania had a body double. Harvard actually did a good study on it! The answer was no. No body double.
I am 69. Trying to get the new Covid vaccine. Now because if RFK it say state restrictions deny it. So now I have to go yo see a doctor to get a prescription for it. Hope my Medicare pays for it. They want people to die.
Yes, and I have read that someone named Kai Trump posted an old picture of her and djt on her Instagram as if it were from today. Say he has met his Maker - why would they cover it up? I have so many questions. bsky.app/profile/noah...
if you ever want to feel incredibly bad about your constitutional protections re: law enforcement, 4th amendment traffic stop search jurisprudence is a great place to start.
welp. i just went to try to schedule a covid vaccine at the local duane reade and got this pop-up
There are lawmakers and citizens in this country who think having an assault weapon is more important than the life of a child.
After Uvalde, I asked a man on Twitter: If you saw a little girl, and knew her life would be saved if you gave up your assault rifle, would you do it? And he said no.
I'm sorry about your horses. It's not definitive, but maybe this will give you a boost.
What is the majority view on Twitter? Is he dead or alive?
Sure. Look at the second post for thumbnails from June. Same outfit, and apparently someone has released the video as if it were taken today. bsky.app/profile/noah...
Confirmed the "Virginia golfing" picture and later video are from a trip in June ...
They’re totally going to do this.
They might be doing it now. The "proof of life" pix from this morning are from June.
The "proof of life" pictures and video are apparently from June.
Image caring more about stopping a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting than stopping mass shootings. #Priorities
You could do a search for some of these phrases to see if they match his writing - "Three days ago," with a comma stood out to me. It's too storyteller style for him. Search for "completed" vs. "complete" ... does he say jobs are completed or complete? Are we sure he is alive?
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
I saw the "proof of life" pics and video might be from June. How do you feel about prolonging the event?
Brilliant. Shades of George Castanza showing up at work after being fired. Turn the gaslight around and point it back at the source. The entire world agrees, Sir, with tears in our eyes.
Whaaaaat? Are you sure? That looks like the same outfit from the "proof of life" picture this morning.
Birmingham, Michigan SHOWED up to where Mike Johnson was staying. Looks like he isn't getting much sleep.....‼️ KEEP IT UP FOR AMERICA FOR FREEDOM FOR OUR CHILDREN and their children‼️ #democracywins
I have very little faith in 80% of our elected Dems. Even the most liberal ones keep missing the point and complaining about stupid stuff instead of taking action. It's like watching a giant slug move across the garden. They don't have plans. They aren't organized. They are sleeping.
And if only wealthy white men got measles, no one would ever get measles.
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
They are hand picked by the Heritage Foundation to be his cronies and normalize dictatorship. Several of them are felons - all of them are extremely rich. You think you're looking at foolish sycophants, but they know exactly what they are doing - systematically changing the system of government.
I hope it will comfort you that it's only a slender piece of the pie who really want this (see my avatar) - I know of many maga voters who thought he would only deport criminals. 51% of Latino men voted for him because they don't want Latino murderers ruining their rep. They didn't want this.
This Administration doesn't care about the laws. They don't care about due process. All they care about is power and exerting control over cities they don't like. Los Angeles will not stand for it.
I live in a 76% maga area - they just love djt, and think he's the greatest thing ever, but there are lots of signs that the love affair has ended. Except for his strongest supporters, they're all mad at him or hate politics now ... he seems demented. Groceries are high. They love the Constitution.
I am just starting to see the extent of the trauma. Immigrants from everywhere, who came decades ago, are traumatized, too. Even if they're citizens now, they are afraid of getting into any trouble, like these kids.
They’re traumatizing kids.
Since returning to the White House, Trump has widely deployed the National Guard, with clear plans to expand its presence nationwide and few safeguards to limit him. And it looks like he might take his use of the military to the polls in 2026 and 2028.
I'm surprised it's not worse. I saw a grocery receipt the other day with bare essentials - maybe 12 items, like "corn flour" - and the total was $78. There must be a better way than this meme to show how people are suffering at the grocery store.
I used to look at women's purses in the early 90s and think, I will bet there's a five dollar bill in there. It was enough for a little milk AND some diapers.
Go read your bio. I didn't recognize you today. As I remember you, you were broad minded and compassionate - kind of a thoughtful soul, a thinker. I have to unfollow you now. Something has gotten into you. God bless you.
Wow. This hurt my feelings. We've been following each other for months in a really friendly way. (I did just change my avatar.) Many magas are appalled by ICE - and we have a lot more in common, like Release the Files and a hatred of political corruption. American policies made maga. We did that.
