@GGrove90968 @mjfree The single highest day for false claims occurred on 2 November 2020 (the day before the presidential election), when fact-checkers logged 503 false or misleading statements as he traveled for the campaign
English

@GGrove90968 @mjfree And yet…
During his four-year term in office (2017–2021), Donald Trump made 30,573 false or misleading claims, according to an extensive database compiled by The Washington Post Fact Checker team.
English

@GGrove90968 @mjfree The frequency of these untruths accelerated dramatically over the course of his presidency:Year 1: Averaged about 6 false claims per day.Year 2: Averaged about 16 false claims per day.Year 3: Averaged about 22 false claims per day.Year 4: Averaged about 39 false claims per day.

@whomenotyou24 @Gianl1974 Higher input costs - farm machinery, fertiliser, fuel, labour etc

@JamesLarson47 @Gianl1974 How do tariffs on foreign countries exports bankrupt a domestic farmer? I know the economies of the world are connected to a degree but this farm must have been in trouble for a long time & it just happened to conclude turning Trump's presidency. Bill Gates a more likely culprit!

We warned you. You responded with “snowflake,” “triggered?,” “cry harder.”
It’s going to get worse—in so many ways.
To every Trump voter: It will take decades to rebuild what you have enabled that demented criminal to destroy. But hey, you sure did “own the libs.”
It’s going to get worse—in so many ways.

@JamesLarson47 @Gianl1974 Running a family farm is hard work at low margins. Farmers frequently take loans against their land to purchase equipment, and supplies... and to survive through bad years. Trump's inflation, fuel costs, killing USAID and SNAP are all contributing to family farm bankruptcies.

@JamesLarson47 @Gianl1974 You don't suppose Biden's bullshit with the cost of fertilizer had anything to do with farmers in trouble? Go suck a dick!

@ewoosh @ImBreckWorsham @grok The post didn’t say they’d paid a $500 deposit, it said the phone cost $500.
English

@ImBreckWorsham Another mostly false and misleading claim by you (not that I am a fan of this idea to begin with). @grok is this post accurate?

@JayTownAlabama @BillKristol Anyone else find it absurd that the US president is more focused on his ballroom than ending the war in Iran?
English

@BillKristol Anyone else find it absurd that Democrats are as “concerned” about a ballroom as they are the war in Iran?
Very performative. When everything is a “serious issue”, nothing is a serious issue.
English

"We can fight to stop the ballroom. If this means leaving the area as a destruction site for the rest of Trump’s presidency, so be it. Let its ugliness exemplify the Trump era. Let its rubble symbolize what he's tried to do to the American republic." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…
English

@BillKristol I agree - the rubble which was formerly the east wing of the WH is indeed symbolic of the carnage Trump has wreaked on the US in his second term. It makes me sick to the pit of my stomach to see what he’s done to that beautiful historic building.
English

@prbysherron @FurkanGozukara Right, it’s unpresidented to have a roaring stock market while at war. The stock market reflects the strength of the economy. But defanging Iran is paramount, as without it, what else matters.

@NancySinatra Do you follow @lawyeroyer the former pardon attorney for the DOJ? She tracks all Trump’s ‘pay to play’ pardons. The corruption is mind boggling.

BREAKING: SOUNDS OF SILENCE — Senate hearing goes deadly quiet as Trump’s federal judicial nominees REFUSE to admit third term is illegal.
.
Donald Trump is nominating people to lifetime federal judgeships who won't confirm that he can't run for a third term when they come before the Senate for their approval hearings.
Let that sink in.
Senator Chris Coons of Delaware asked what should be the easiest constitutional law question in American history at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week. He asked Trump's judicial nominees about the 22nd Amendment.
The first nominee, John Marck, said that his career had been in criminal prosecution and that he hadn't had occasion to use that particular amendment.
A federal judicial nominee. Unfamiliar with the 22nd Amendment. Seeking a lifetime appointment to interpret the Constitution.
Another candidate eventually offered that it "deals with the two-term limitation." Correct. Gold star.
Coons then asked the simple follow-up: is President Trump eligible to run for president again in 2028?
Marck's response was a masterpiece of evasion: "Without considering all the facts and looking at everything, depending on what the situation is, this to me strikes as more of a hypothetical."
Coons was patient. He walked Marck through it like a kindergarten teacher explaining why you can't eat paste. Has Trump been elected president twice? "President Trump has been certified the President of the United States two times." Is he eligible to run for a third term? "I would have to review the actual wording of it."
A man seeking a lifetime federal judgeship needs to review the actual wording. Of the 22nd Amendment. Which is 61 words long.
Coons then turned to the full panel and asked if anyone — anyone — was willing to simply state that the Constitution of the United States bars Trump from seeking a third term.
A heartbreakingly long silence ensued.
He asked again. Anyone willing to apply the Constitution by its plain language?
More ominous silence.
Nobody. Not one of Trump's judicial nominees would say out loud, under oath, in a Senate hearing, that the 22nd Amendment means what it plainly says.
This isn't ignorance. These are lawyers. They know what the 22nd Amendment says. They know Trump has been talking openly about a third term. And they calculated — correctly, based on what happens to people who cross this president — that telling the constitutional truth was more dangerous than staying silent.
The frightening thing is that these are the people who will be interpreting your rights for the next 30 years.
Please like and share this post if you think federal judges should be willing to say the Constitution means what it says — even when the president doesn't want to hear it.

What If Churchill Had Been Trump?
A leader's first obligation is to send his military into the smallest possible danger for the largest possible gain. You do that by building coalitions. You do that by keeping allies close. You do that by understanding that 300 million people going to war alone is a political choice, not a military necessity, and that the difference between the two is measured in American lives.
Right now, American sailors are in that gap. Months into deployments that were supposed to end. In a chokepoint their country is holding alone.
Ask how it got here.
Trump could not build a coalition. Not because the allies were unwilling in principle. Because he had spent a year making it impossible.
He called European leaders weak. Their countries decaying. He said Macron's wife hits him. He said Britain was not America's best ally. An official White House document described the entire continent as facing civilizational erasure. Then, without warning any of them, he launched a war and picked up the phone.
Imagine Churchill in 1940 with Trump's personality. Telling Stalin he was a murderous savage not worth the dirt on British boots. Telling Roosevelt that Americans were weak, that Canada was pathetic, that Australia didn't know what it was doing. Then, after Dunkirk, announcing to the press that his allies were useless, that he had never needed them, and that Britain would handle it alone.
We know exactly how that ends. Not 70 million dead. Perhaps 200 million. Britain defeated. Europe speaking German or Russian.
But it does not stop there. With Britain gone, the Atlantic becomes a German lake. American ports strangled by U-boats from bases in Norway, the Netherlands, France, and the entire European coastline. No convoys out. No troops in. The ocean that had always been America's protection becomes its cage.
And to the west, Japan. In 1940 a more battle-hardened military force than a neutral, unready United States. Consolidating across the Pacific with no British, Dutch, Canadian, or Norwegian resistance left anywhere to slow it down. The Dutch East Indies fall. The oil flows to Tokyo. Australia is isolated. The entire Pacific rim belongs to an empire that has been at war for a decade while America has been watching from the sidelines.
Churchill's coalition did not just hold a line in Europe. Canada kept the Atlantic supply routes open. Norway's merchant fleet, the fourth largest in the world, kept Britain breathing. The Netherlands held its colonial oil out of German hands. Together they bought America the time it needed to become the country that could win.
Churchill's allies did not just save Europe. They saved America. From both oceans. Simultaneously.
Churchill understood, at the most basic level of statecraft, that you cannot win a large war with a small coalition. That the allies you humiliate today are the minesweepers and airfields you will desperately need tomorrow.
Trump broke that understanding deliberately, publicly, and over many months.
They said no. Every one of them. Italy turned American aircraft away in flight. Spain called the war profoundly illegal. Germany asked what the plan was.
Trump said he didn't need them anyway.
That is the sentence that will define his legacy. Not as defiance. As confession.
Because when you fight alone, every flag-draped coffin is American. Every gold star family is American. Every casualty notification, every funeral with a folded flag, every child told their parent is not coming home lands on one country and one country only. There is no burden-sharing. There is no distributed grief. There is only the bill, and it is paid exclusively in American lives.
This is what a personality disorder looks like at scale. A man constitutionally incapable of the restraint, consultation, and basic performance of respect that alliance management requires. Not a political observation. A clinical one, with consequences denominated in body bags.
Iran controls the Strait. The war has no visible end. The alliance that could have shortened it, shared its cost, and rotated those sailors home said no because one man could not stop insulting them long enough to need them.
He failed his military. He failed their families. He failed America's standing, its economy, and its place in the world.
The word for that is not strong.
He was just loud. And loud, it turns out, is the most expensive thing a commander in chief can be.

@SweetDreams5771 @UnrealBluegrass What rock did you just crawl out from under?

@UnrealBluegrass I’m sorry you feel that way.
Most of America loves him and appreciates what he’s doing for country.
I hope someday you’ll feel that way, too.
