This tragic plane crash, and the loss of dozens of lives as a result of it, is now reduced to a golf analogy.
The only surprise is that he didn’t slip in a little anecdote, bragging about his own golfing ‘skills’.
BTW, “amazing” is NOT the word to use in describing this crash!
Sure hope she doesn’t break a gel nail, or that her plumped-up lips don’t get chapped, or her hair extensions don’t get caught in brambles as she runs down fleeing migrants on her horse (the one that was lucky enough to not get shot by her).
What an interesting observation about RFKjr’s speech issue, with respect to how it helps him to ramble and obfuscate. It does take some discipline on our part to stay focused on what he actually says, & not be distracted by the manner in which he speaks.

In the spirit of the new Twitter algorithm which is promoting positive content, I’m positive Elon Musk is a fucking asshole.
Mitch certainly hasn’t an ounce of regret for letting Trump off the hook.
The seeds of this outcome have, for decades, been sown by him. Sure, he may have been a little miffed by Trump’s hissy fit on J6, but this is exactly what he has always wanted.
If anyone thought MAGA would stop being assholes after they won, they’re sadly mistaken.
MAGA are hate junkies who can’t quit their addiction to vitriol cold turkey, now that the hate rallies are done. They just found another way to get their high.
MAGA Launches Increasingly Horrific Attacks on Women After Trump Win
Donald Trump’s win has emboldened his followers.

Give a man a home, safe water to drink, safe schools for his children, health care for his family (especially wives & daughters), financial security for now & when he ages…and he’ll barely notice.
Give this man a neighbour to hate & fear, and he’ll worship you forever.
Trump pitted Latinos and immigrants against one another. It worked. Via @patricialopez_4 bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
8yrs of daily conditioning of the electorate by Trump’s lies & fear-mongering has blinded half of America to his ever-worsening descent into depravity. Once again, corporate media gave him the platform & the sane-washing to achieve this.
If Trump wins....it proves once and for all that the "Big Lie" was exactly that.
Because if there was a deep state conspiracy to steal an election from him it would have happened this year....because there has never been more fear of a Trump presidency than there was this year.
The fact that he may win this year, in part, by campaigning on his lie about 2020....despite actually losing....as this year will prove....
....is pathetic.
Sad, and yet terrifying at the same time, is the fact that America is a coin-flip away from handing control of themselves and their country over to people like this. 🫤
Win, or lose, the Trump grift will be eternal.

In addition to decimating the work force of America by removing undocumented immigrants, the tax dollars paid by them into social programs, from which they receive no benefits, will also disappear.
This would be a one-two punch that would leave America reeling.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.
As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.
It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.
Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at ricksteves.com/fascism. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.
When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.
A thread from 2018, warning us of the dangers of Trump.
In spite of the intervening years, which unfolded as we were warned they would, it is still so hard to get this message taken seriously.
