Lindsey Graham calls for the murder of women, children, and everyone in Iran on Fox News. He says he is very happy tonight and agrees that it’s time to take Iran back to the Stone Age and destroy everything in Iran that allows it to function as a nation. “We’re going to blow up the things that allow you to function as a nation.”
The President of the United States woke up this morning and posted a 150-word personal attack on Bruce Springsteen. Not on Iran. Not on the tariffs crashing global markets. Not on the recession warnings. Bruce Springsteen. There is a standard psychological tool called the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. It has 20 items scored on a scale from 0 to 40. The cutoff for a diagnosis of psychopathy is 30.  The average person scores around 4. The average maximum security prisoner scores 22.  A panel of eminent psychiatrists assessed Trump before his 2024 sentencing in New York. He scored 36 out of 40.  The 25th Amendment exists precisely for this. Section 4 allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unable to carry out his duties.  It has never been used. In any normally functioning democracy, the bar would be far lower. Most leaders in that position resign themselves. Instead, this one is on Truth Social at 7:58 AM calling a rock legend a dried-up prune. America is fighting a war it cannot exit in Iran. Markets are in freefall. Allies are making alternative plans. And the man with the nuclear codes is writing concert reviews. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)
Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
ICYMI in 2025 (and previous years): Russian state TV said that in his second term, Trump would cut off aid to Ukraine, destroy relations with allies, disrupt internal workings of the U.S. government, lift Russian sanctions, and withdraw America from NATO. yahoo.com/news/putin-pal…
Rubio: If now we've reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can't use those bases to defend America's interests, then NATO is a one-way street…then why are we NATO? We’re going to have to reexamine that relationship. That’s a decision for the president.
At the request of the Russian government, @Apple removed numerous VPN services from the App Store - tools that had allowed Russians to bypass censorship. A remarkable stroke of luck for Putin to have such “friends” in Big Tech. Over the past few years, Russian authorities have blocked millions of websites, including independent media and opposition platforms. VPNs are now one of the few remaining ways for Russians to access truthful reporting on current events. Yet Apple has chosen to assist state censorship in Russia.
