I'm working phones for the special election in Arizona. I got a caller today, and I knew early on he was MAGA. Only military and disabled should be able to vote by mail. Yeah, that would affect a huge swath of Republicans. Democrats are totally stealing elections. Why didn't we do it in 2016? The clincher was saying how people not in his precinct were voting in his precinct. Yeah, I said, we now how vote centers so people can vote anywhere in the county. WELL, THAT'S TOTALLY ILLEGAL. I CAN LITERALLY SHOW YOU IN THE RULES. After he finally hung up I grabbed my hair and quietly screamed. The deputy recorder (or whatever she is) said I should have sent him to her. I said he never gave me a chance. After the first Trump disaster I said the worst thing he did was to make people not trust elections. He hasn't stopped, but he's added many more worst things (and I meant that grammar). Oh, and I googled and found the Arizona statute allowing vote centers in Arizona.
Too much news again to absorb.... Trump is truly sliding down the mental health slide into oblivion. However, I must say, JD Vance looks like his eye makeup is bothering him in the photo.
We've moved beyond embarrassment at his craziness to a genuine danger zone: we need some grownups, with morals and intelligence, to take the wheel. That leaves out everyone in Trump's administration, from what I can see.
Thank you for the looney-tunes press conference recap. Once he appeared on the screen, turned it off there’s only so much one can take even after a few days of his disappearance from the love affair he has with any microphone or being a constant reminder of a 3-year old child whose constant obsession with “it’s all about me” syndrome..
Fox’ Peter Doocy asked Mr. Trump about the video of garbage being thrown from a White House window on Tuesday while the president took questions in the Oval Office. After Mr. Trump said he hadn’t seen it, Mr. Doocy showed him the clip on his phone.
The subject arose after Mr. Trump contradicted his own press office by claiming a video that was highly circulated this weekend, in which what appeared to be a black trash bag was thrown from a White House window, may have been fabricated.
With fake videos generated by A.I. swirling around the internet, it’s become increasingly difficult for many users of social media to separate truth from fiction — a point Mr. Trump both lamented and said he could potentially use to his advantage.
“One of the problems we have with A.I., it’s both good and bad,” he said. “If something happens, really bad, just blame A.I. But also they create things. You know, it works both ways. If something happens, it’s really bad, maybe I’ll have to just blame A.I.”
“That’s probably A.I.-generated,” Mr. Trump said, before describing how heavy the windows are, and how difficult they are to open.
“My wife was complaining about it the other day,” Mr. Trump said. “She said, ‘I’d love to have a little fresh air come in,’ but you can’t — they’re bulletproof. Number one, they’re sealed. And number two, each window weighs about 600 pounds. You have to be pretty strong to open them up.”
“I see so many phony things,” Mr. Trump said. “I saw something, as I was growing up from the time I was a baby till now, I said, ‘Who did that?’ It was A.I. generated. So it’s a little bit scary to be honest with you.”
To be clear Trump was born in 1946. As a baby in 1946 he’s saying throughout his years of growing up til now AI has generated so much misinformation..AI generated short videos came about in 2022-2023: The Breakthrough Years..
So now dealing with unwelcome or unflattering information: His go to will be “blame artificial intelligence”. Let alone the norm of “Fake News”.
Trump is proving to be the greatest Confabulator-in-Chief the country ever had. Able to maintain a tapestry of spontaneous constructions of total lies and Donald in Wonderland rabbit holes, he believes he is blessed with a unique mental connection with the universe where he is the only vessel of (alternative) truth and reality.
Unfortunately, his world of fascist unicorns and (sexually straight) rainbows (ending with pots of gold) is smashing headlong into the stark wall of (real) reality. It is We the People who suffer the hangover from his delusional, wildly destructive escapades.
My first thought when reading there would be an announcement about the location of Space Command was it will be a “red southern state” and the American tax payer can just pay and pay for the “payoffs” to the maga states and live with the discard of existing facilities and personnel. I’m also concerned about an off-the-wall Army corps water seizure as ordered in January while keeping track of numerous fires in rural Northern CA and lightening thunder events tonight.
How is it possible that one deranged person can undo an entire military installation and move it on a whim? Doesn't Congress have to appropriate the funds to build the new one first? Is this a slam dunk? Anyone know? This is an enormously (I'd say huge, but I can no longer use that word) expensive undertaking, like all his mistakes, and it shouldn't be a single person decision.
As if the picture wasn’t clear enough, let’s introduce the facts: Congress doesn’t have to do a dang thing but follow de fuhrer ‘s edicts and praise his brilliancy -botchulism is more appropriate. Spineless, corrupt, rings in their noses conspirators proving their growing unpopularity as The Retribution Renegade slowly sinks below any previous records of approval..about time , huh!
A destroyed GOP let it be noted in the ‘Who Done It columns’ and vast volumes being written verily -that which history TRIED to be rewritten so we didn’t have to ‘feel or look bad’!!!! Only the smallest will never admit -lonely as they stand naked stripped liars by pompous self defeat.
And Nero fiddled while Rome burned…
So well put. And what about those kids he is trying to fly off in the middle of the night?
Was it 200 of them? I heard it on the radio at NPR.

How'd they get him up on his feet for the presser today? Massive Vitamin B shot or ... ?
Thank you for a great summary of Diaper Dons insane press conference or whatever the hell it was. Why can't he just hurry up and stroke out.

Thanks, Mary - I nicked it...

Banish the whole lot!
Thank you Dotty, great lead-in!

On the alleged Russian 'attempted assassination"'of Ursula von der Leyen, it's evident from several independent flight trackers that her plane was 9 minutes late, not one hour and that the plane had GPS contact throughout the flight from takeoff to landing.
