At a great height above the ground he came to a wide talan, like the deck of a great ship.

I’m so grateful that I have tenure and the academic freedom to call it like I see it. “Dr. Kathleen Bachynski, a professor of public health at Muhlenberg College, described Kennedy’s comments as “absolute gibberish” and slammed the HHS secretary as a “dangerous buffoon” who is “threatening us all.”
One question that I think needs asking is whether his plan is based on eugenics. Because that explains why he is destroying health initiatives. White people (poor ones) dying is an acceptable thing so long as black and brown people die at a higher rate.
I hate to say this Harry but come Jan 6th next year there will be some form of revisionist celebration. These people seek to rewrite history.
Fantastic!
Apparently Chtonobdella, an Australian leech, has been observed dropping from trees onto unsuspecting passers-by (human and animal).
Maybe it's a slug?
Narcissists struggle with humor.
My great uncle and 1400 others bravely died on HMS Hood trying to sink that much bigger warship.
Isn't there something we can bribe the prick with?

A decent proportion of dementia sufferers are wanderers. My father was one. Wondering if Trump might be another.
Ah, an intellectual battle between a stochastic parrot incapable of true thought, designed in a laboratory to satisfy the whims of the far-right, and Grok.
We know you're an American because you can't spell you're.

I quite sure that @jaketapper.bsky.social will join the pile-on once Trump has diminished.
With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.
I've a friend whose family has a beach house in Motunau. She pronounces it "Mutnow". Not when I'm around!
Did someone ask why the letter had pubes on it?
It sounds like his strategy is to arrest all the non criminals. Genius! So why is he starting with the brown ones?
Has someone rung Dorian Gray and told him his portrait has escaped?
Tauho in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Silver eye.
ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
It's "spot the narcissist" these days in 'Merican politics. Wake up people!
Trump is hostage to his personality disorders.
I have never once, in my entire life, regretted a decision to act kindly.
When Krypton sends its people, they're not sending their best...
Make Chickens Suffer Again?
Remind me what happened to the Stock Market last time Trump did this.
I've said on various posts that ICE are going to be Trump's brown-shirts.
I know from experience how tiring it is dealing with a narcissist. It is too easy to give up and just accept it. But it is so important not to. Trump needs to be held to account on a minute by minute basis.
"egregious charges". I'm not sure she realises what she is saying here.
Jeeze Seth. We don't want her.
You might, but I call it being an arsehole.
So, who at CNN is going to ask ICE why they couldn't get a warrant from a Judge?
This is an important point. The truth is hostage in the US and so many people seem to support that, but the result is long term damage to the credibility of the country.
This comment would have triggered so many victims of narcissists.
Ridicule is a narcissist's kryptonite. The more he gets laughed at, the quicker he will crack.
A lot, hopefully. Miller and Noem need to answer for their fascist overreach.
First prize to the journalist who asks him why they are making it up as they go along.
Looking forward to the first journalist asking Trump why he chickened out. Trump will be fuming. Narcissists never forget and they never forgive. He will make Musk's life miserable if he gets a chance.
Ridicule is really difficult for Narcissists to process. It attacks their veneer of superiority in a way they struggle to respond to. More of this please.
Just watching the PGA Championship. Incredible that there are 4 South African refugees playing. Brave souls.
It's awesome that they will be able to meet up after death,aye MAGAs?
They call it braai puppy.
If you think for a single fucking second that suspending due process will stop with the people you don’t happen to like, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.
So when I heard that Trump had sued 60 Minutes over an interview they did with Kamala Harris, I thought, yeah because he is such a big narcissistic baby, but I also wondered how it would have any legal gravitas. Now I understand. It doesn't have to. This is just another gangster quid pro quo.
Are you counting the fake one?
I would imagine that if I was contemplating giving up on life and moving on to a better place, a meeting with JD Vance might persuade me.
The great @hcrichardson.bsky.social from her speech on the 250th anniversary of the lighting of the lanterns in Boston’s Old North Church. Read this excerpt to the end and you will be rewarded. Read it aloud and it gets better. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-18-2...
What is Ingrassia even talking about? What are these virtues that apparently override the law? This is crazy.
Well, I guess it makes a change from Trump being the one spouting a load of nonsense.
You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.
You can bully the Senate. You can bully CBS. You can bully NIH. You cannot bully the bond market. It is the dread King in Yellow. Pestilence follows its wrath.
I've dealt with a narcissist and rid myself of them. What is needed is a concerted attack on his grandiosity. Question his actions and don't let up. Call out his lies and gaslighting. Best of all laugh at his actions, ridicule him. Being ridiculed to his face is what will snap him.
Aren't US farmers already a protected species?
New York's crooked mayor won't be held accountable for likely criminal violations because the U.S.'s crooked president tried to leverage that accountability to do his own crooked shit and a court had to intervene. Democracy at its finest.
Nothing screams Narcissist with zero empathy more than hating Sesame Street.
If he runs out of material I suggest reading out loud a book that the Republicans want banned.
What do you say to a MAGA who is embarrassed about their ability to communicate? There their they're.
I bet they use a SCIF when they discuss Donny's dementia.
He is already known as the fucking President.
Donald Trump’s VP, DNI, NSA, Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, CIA Director and Secretary of State were all on a text thread about bombing Yemen, and he knows nothing about it? Who the fuck is running the country then, because clearly it is not him.
I don't know what the follow up question was but it should have been - "Cool, so why was this apparently deceitful and discredited person invited into your chat group?"
They are frat boys. It's a broligarchy.

Who would have thought that running around being a cunt to everyone would affect his bran?
It's projection. 'Merica is the society in crisis. Might have something to do with a malignant narcissist as president, and the psychopath in charge of DOGE.
Looks like she got a whiff of him.
History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
Trump thinks Ft. Knox is like Moria: maybe it’s still there, maybe everybody’s great, maybe they’ll serve us lunch, maybe everybody there’s been killed by goblins, no way to know until we get there in person
The Four Horse's Asses of the Apocalypse.
This exchange is a microcosm of Musk's (and Trump's) leadership. 1. You can't believe a word they say. 2. Their narcissism forces them to visciously fight anyone who doesn't roll over for them.
The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center? Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.
And as usual, it's not his money he is spending.
I initially thought that Make America Great Again meant a return to say the 1950's when minorities and women "knew their place". This guy wants to take everyone back to the Dark Ages.
Gee. Who would have thought a malignant narcissist would behave the same way they always have? Incredible.
Cruelty doesn't come cheap you know.
For individuals it was when they realized they were being lied to. Collectively it takes longer due to pressure to conform. Just like a cult.
Hopefully the follow up from the reporter was "so are you saying you are OK with pardoning murderers in LA if they are your supporters?"
On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...
Exactly. Remember when Trump derided countries as "shit holes"? Well those countries all have Presidents like Trump, Supreme Court Justices like Alito and Thomas, and Representative leaders like Johnson.
Does he care that Trump wanted Gaetz as his Attorney General?
Mace strikes me as someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I was intrigued when she warned people to walk on eggshells around her. Stop Walking on Eggshells is probably the most famous book about the disorder.
Ah yes. The old "my behaviour isn't a problem for me" excuse.
Agreed. For me it's when I say I like Tolkien and or LeGuin and they say "you must love Terry Pratchett." Aargh!
Projection is such a giveaway with Narcissists.
Occasionally
The cult followers think that being mean to Trump is treason.
