Trump is very successful in his way. Every day he wakes up he knows he has two tasks, grab some headlines (help the media sell soap) and extract vengeance on his detractors. If you can steal stuff or collect tribute along the way, great. Worst president ever.

And the gay make-up artist is being represented by the ACLU
They say the US has “constructive custody” over those held in El Salvador.

He hasn’t officially spoken to Xi since about 10 days after his inauguration. Maybe they use Apple Facetime? (Doubt it)
He has maybe 150-200 stock words and phrases that he’s limited to.
And also “Biden” is one of those stock words.

China has more credibility than Trump. And why add, the going to Rome and it will be interesting? It is a R.C. funeral for a beloved Pope not a party at Mar-a-Lago. He will embarrass us as a nation while there.

I’d say he’s “pre-embarrassed” us.

Very well done fact checking, but what’s more interesting is reading the transcript snips of his lies. Even two sentences long and he “weaves” into nonsense.

He’s out of his freaking mind…when will the world wake up to this fact? Alito can go pound sand; again, one must wonder what horrible things happened to him as a child.

Why is Hegseth still around. All the reporting seems to indicate he’s either acting like he’s been drinking or acting like he’s a dry drunk.

I subscribe to email missives from a former Quora contributor named Misha Firer (aka Brutalsky). I’m never quite sure how seriously to take his news, but he had an interesting tidbit in his email today:
According to Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, in a strike in Kharkiv region, about 20 specialists from NATO countries were killed, “mostly English-speakers.”
It is likely that the air strike that killed a number of US citizens whose deaths cannot be officially reported as they are on the ground secretly is what has caused Trump to react so emotionally.
Now, he was quoting from a site called EADaily (which I will not link to here), which is a fount of Russian misinformation and bias. Still, I suspect there’s stuff going on that the administration – so determined to give up and give in to Putin – won’t talk about. Perhaps Josh Kovensky has some info?

He’s sort of an amalgam of one of those talking dolls from the 60’s and the magic 8-ball.

He’s trying to make a “deal” that looks like the one that was in place during his first term that he ended because “Obama” (another mostly retired stock word).

More and more he skips “Biden” and just uses pronouns, “he/him.” I suspect it’s to avoid saying Obama again. Or thatvhe can’t remember any names at all.

A Bad Day In Court For Trump
Has Trump ever won a court case?
I mean, judging from his mogul days through his first term and first post-term and second term, Trump’s judicial strategy doesn’t seem to involve winning, but rather to just bounce the ball around the courts.
