Today's reminder: One of the most precious resources you have, endlessly abundant and freely available to you at all moments of your life, is silence. Use it more.
A garden variety homophobic halfwit so desperately insecure in himself that he takes the time to make skidmarks on a pride flag with his ridiculously, stupidly oversized (compensatory) pickup truck isβ¦a legend? Oof. Silly little men like youβ¦
What Iβm seeing, if you watch closely 1) Trump is starting to show first ever real signs of panic. His reptilian survival instincts are kicking as he starts sensing a comer.
2) Reporters are starting to smell blood
Anyone else?@sarahkendzior@gregolear@donwinslow@MollyJongFast
Whatβs most telling about this clip is how the crowd literally sits in silence through two whole minutes of this nonsensical blabbering but then erupts in applause when Trump uses the words βdumb son of a bitchββitβs like thatβs all they really want to hear...
The most valuable lesson that a lot of people seem to be missing hereβperhaps even you (understandable given being threatened)βis how little it took to bring the guy back to his senses. Weβre so used to antagonising each otherβwhich gets us nowhereβvs engaging as humans beings.
Bad call on this one, Mehdi. Did you watch the interview? She was visibly on the offence from the outset and literally was looking to find cause. His original comment was that Israel was starting to lose public opinion in spite of having βconnectionsβ. Do you disagree with that?
And remember, malign elements are spending real money here on thousands of troll accounts (agitating on both sides) to keep us in a state of discord ALL THE TIME and believing that there is no hope of engagement.
We need to get smarter. A lot smarter.
What many miss about Donaldβs argument is what it reveals, not about his less than average intelligence, but about his extreme sociopathy.
He sees βcasesβ as just numbers that affect his image, like the ratings heβs obsessed with. To him the people, ill and dying, donβt exist.
Trump: As an example, weβve done 45 million tests. If we did half that number, youβd have half the cases, probably around that number. If we did another half of that, youβd have half the numbers. Everyone would be saying weβre doing well on cases
If only youβd thought a little about what youβre actually saying in this tweet, you could have saved yourself the embarrassment of being the self owning idiot that tweeted it. Sorry.
Listen carefully. The guy on Donaldβs right tells him and then Meadows that βthis sheriffβs county delivered (Trump) the highest percentage in the stateβ
This is a FEMA meeting.
βDeliveringβ votes is not a sheriffβs job.

Even the most practiced liars have tells. Listen very closely to Donaldβs voice here. That βsofter tone,β which he hopes sounds sympathetic yet somewhat vague and personally disinterested, is actually tightness in his voice. He is standing close to his kryptonite and he feels it.
Trump on Ghislaine Maxwell: I just wish her well frankly. Iβve met her numerous times over the years especially since I lived in Palm Beach and I guess they lived in Palm Beach but I wish her well
What has the stale stench of European colonialism more than a crusty old European white man in his seventies standing in Syria imagining himself in Europe?
