He’s doing this more and more, raving about the physiques of congressmen and UFC fighters. Every time he does it, I wish @serafinowicz were still making his brilliant Sassy Trump videos. youtu.be/d76gCuIct4A?is=7ejL…

Trump is at it again with Jon Husted: “I’m studying his body… I looked at his ass. It’s like a pile of muscle. Then I looked at his legs and said, man, his feet are big.” This is at least the fourth or fifth rally where he’s done this. He doesn’t even have to be in Ohio for Husted to be on his mind.

Trump: You know it's called the gay national anthem? I got the highest gay vote of any Republican in history. I think it’s because of the song.

The president and his allies’ support of Vladimir Putin will tarnish their legacies in infamy for generations. Vichy France has met its match.

If this is true it's a level of evil that's really, really hard to imagine. It's not a good-faith question about how much we should fund Ukraine or what realistic endgame goals are. It's choosing to put innocent civilians in harm's way. I hope there are investigations.

Trump is unambiguously on Putin’s side in their war on Ukraine. The U.S. and Russia and North Korea are the new Axis, anti-democratic and anti-freedom.

Russia Russia Russia: he is now more unambiguously pro-evil-dictator than ever. Another issue where most Americans disagree with him—most want us to give Ukraine more arms, 67% say letting Russia keep seized territory is unacceptable and 75% don’t trust them to keep a peace deal.

It’d be good if the perfect memorable meme term emerged for Trump & Trump-family & Trump-minion corruption. Like the Teapot Dome Scandal, which was so nothing in comparison to the scale & brazenness of the Trump graft & grift.

What an astoundingly stupid thing to say. The stupidest thing he’s ever said? The stupidest thing a vice-president ever said? The stupidest thing any Yale graduate ever said?

Q: “How do you define socialism personally?” Vance: “I think in reality, what it actually means in the American context is that you want to replace American workers with foreign workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports.”

An unusually mad-king one. And good! Because not even a single AI business will obey, humiliatingly confirming his impotence.

In New York City this year, 203 people have been murdered—the fewest ever. In the first 9 months of last year, 253 were murdered, also an all-time low. Back in 1990 there were a million fewer people, of whom 1700 were murdered in the first 9 months. I’ll never get over this..
