The death of common trust in truth is his great accomplishment
Experiencing cognitive dissonance. Attorney. Gen Jones (Google it). Avid fan of integrity and democracy. #Leguminati. #TheFive8. Live music fan. San Francisco. Jewish American woman. Would rather be watching Doctor Who or reading GRRM but DOTUS happened.

Yes. I’m trying not to overthink this one. But yes, immediately. I wondered if he’s already resigned.
SparkleTea (@sparkletea.bsky.social) reply parent
Well this wording is more clear. I’m wrong 👆 As usual from this WH, this announcement tells us nothing concrete enough to speculate about. 🎶Waiting is the hardest part🎼
SparkleTea (@sparkletea.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you for the actual text!

Maybe I will call this hypothesizing #Skypothesizing Hope is fun Not the same as being delusional Tho sometimes, there is an overlap
SparkleTea (@sparkletea.bsky.social)
Is there a link to the actual announcement? The wording is odd. I am an attorney, so I parse it all really specifically. I might overdo it. For instance, this wording 👇suggests that Trump made an announcement about an announcement to come from the Oval. Could he have already resigned?

If he pardons Maxwell and announces it right before their press conference, to me that smacks of like intimidation. I really hope they’re not trying to do that.

I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.

I’m not saying it’s not something, but the hospital is currently under construction so it’s just as likely to be related to that.

bsky.app/profile/darl... is the original. If I can find the follow up that says "oh they close those lanes for holidays" I'll follow up, although I've never known a hospital to do that?

All of Giuliani’s life events that I know about hit like season ending cliffhangers where you’re like ‘How’s he gonna get outta this one?’ People forget that Four Seasons Landscaping debacle was All Him, which is understandable because he also committed actual sexual harassment in a Borat movie.

NEW JERSEY: I know this goes without saying but Mikie Sherrill must win this November. I've been having some conversations with folks not born here recently, and there is rampant fear about what will happen here if she loses. Our work force will be decimated and lives will be lost.

More fire crackers and fire works. I guess I never noticed them much before, it’s part of the sounds of living in the city. Can we make a deal now, though? Just for the next couple of months? Just hold off for a while until, you know, we are all celebrating? Because it’s very confusing

You know. Even if he isn't dead it's sure weird he won't talk to reporters and we only get to see him Bigfoot style from a distance. Not to put on my tinfoil hat but maybe someone should ask to see him face to face because this is how puppet governments happen.

today's Giuliani news feels like when you're watching season 5 of a TV series after they've already added so many new characters & plot lines that you can hardly keep up, & then for some inexplicable reason, the writers bring back some random character from season 1 and you're like WTF?!?
