Aw, such a fine actor. I saw so much of his work over the years. I was delighted to see him in Reservation Dogs. RIP, Mr. Greene. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.

Such a weird statement! The state police news release says Giuliani was a passenger in a car. How did Rudy get flagged down by the woman? 2 other people, one of which whom is his spokesperson, was also injured. www.nhsp.dos.nh.gov/news-and-med...

Except now we know that no one rolled up and opened fire on him and his wife. He helped create his own legend with that lie to cover up what heād done. Iām more inclined to believe the drunk driving story rather than the supposition his car was tampered with. That just embellished the legend.

It was over the top even by sycophant standards. I remember a somewhat similar praise fest in his first administration but this one was even stranger. Maybe it was the contrast of Trump looking ill and like he could barely keep his eyes open while being heaped with compliments that was so jarring.
sun's out (@sunsout.bsky.social) reply parent
Charismatic? For the Thiel crowd, sure, but during the campaign he was lucky to get 100 people to show up for an event when alone. I donāt think the MAGA base is as mesmerized by his style. Without that appeal to the poorly educated, would MAGA survive or is it truly a Trump cult?

It's an awful way to say it, but I was a professional dog trainer and I met people who named dogs derogatory names who were convinced their dogs were too dumb to learn anything. In reality, it was the owners who were dumb. I got them all to change the names and their attitudes. The dogs were fine.

Congress overrode him. Then Trump impeded the suit but Joe Biden declassified a bunch of the documents. Whatās your point? š¤·š»āāļø People are pointing out that Trump will likely intervene again.
sun's out (@sunsout.bsky.social) reply parent
You can hardly compare Sweden to the US. Sweden does extensive background checks and requires initial and recurrent training to own a gun. It can take months to obtain a license to buy a gun there. The US doesnāt do real background checks and most states have no waiting period.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can āsee in kids faces that they have inflammationā Thatās NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.

For them, a woman's accomplishments are trivial, no matter how grand. But, if a man accomplished as much his would be considered consequential. He'd be a man of substance; a great leader. A woman is never allowed that level of respect and she's expected to submit to her husband in all things.

An EO isn't a law. How can he be charged under that? I suspect they'll try some disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace charge.
sun's out (@sunsout.bsky.social) reply parent
This is exactly right. They will do all of this and eventually drop the charges. The inconvenience and the physical humiliation of arrest and being put into a holding cell are the point. If he has to pay for a lawyer, they'll consider it a win.

He became the public face of their illegal renditions. They lied about his committing crimes to justify sending him to El Salvador. If they had evidence theyād try him in court but they donāt. Theyāre sending him away to keep the truth from coming out to protect their deportations.

I doubt Maxwell will ever be cross-examined in the court of public option. Her statements will just be out there any many will accept them. Right wing media has been painting her as a victim for some time now. Their propaganda works on far too many viewers.

As I said, we should keep talking about it but I guess Iām tired of the people who keep saying everything Trump does is meant to distract from the Epstein files. Heās following the Project 2025 agenda and itās extremely dangerous, not a distraction. They ignore that to our peril, imo.

But it serves his purpose. He controls access to the files and has no intention of releasing them. His minions are on tv right now quoting Maxwell. They hope to move on and eventually will be able to since the un-redacted files will never see the light of day. Hell, theyāve probably been shredded.

No compliment would ever have that sweeping effect so why should anyone entertain this?

You're making a lot of assumptions. The investigative files aren't classified but they're also not public. Did powerful people hack into the DOJ and FBI to get copies of the files? Which powerful people? Putin? There's no reasonable path to getting those files.
