@davidaxelrod @POTUS Take your petty complaints to the Pope. I'm sure he'll have a sympathetic ear.

Here's the official statement announcing plans for a grand new White House ballroom last July. Not one word about the need for it due to security. Last night, the @POTUS & his acolytes immediately seized on the WHCA attack at to justify his dream project. whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…

@Acquired_Savant What is a makeshift shotgun?

Alright. I'll be THAT guy. In the room before the panic we clearly hear 5 shots. The video Trump posted shows him run through, agents drew guns. Cole Tomas Allen had a makeshift shotgun, not an automatic rifle. The shots were the agents. Agents shoot center mass. Something 'stopped' the shooter. He is shown on the ground, chest and back exposed (center mass). Where did the Agents shoot him? What stopped him? Where is the blood? Why is his supratrochlear vein not indicating that he is in any pain or distress? The video of Trump, Melania, and the magician shows the women reacting as if there's a shooter before Trump or others react, as if it was practiced. Is this another staged event?

@johnkonrad Trump connects with real Americans even while dealing with the worst Americans.

Why was anyone in the admin at a black-tie gala with “journalists” anyway? Real Americans HATE that dinner You don’t win midterms by spending time with THE worst people in DC or inviting them aboard Air Force 1 You win standing with the best Americans at places like Butler PA

@sagesteele Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.

So many of the ppl who not only refuse to condemn the hateful, violent rhetoric against our president - but have been culprits of it by calling him Hitler, a nazi, etc - were in that room tonight, likely hiding under tables. Maybe, just maybe…THIS will FINALLY convince them to STOP. Stop inciting and encouraging violence just because you don’t like Donald Trump. This is incomprehensible.

@DavidBCollum Firewood was not all she was splitting. Ouch!

Wife's friend was splitting firewood. She lost...

@sarahadams @KatiePavlich 🤦‍♂️

@KatiePavlich How does a defensive shot sound different than an offensive shot?

The shots sounded defensive in nature to me, meaning it was a law enforcement officer shooting a threat. The shots were outside of the room at WHCD.

@CynicalPublius 🤣🤣🤣Good one!

That was a masterful impromptu press conference by the President. He and the press are now bound in sympathy for each other's angst over almost being a victim. No matter what other disagreements they may have, they are now bound together by this event. Historians will mark this day as the point when the U.S. major media became more respectful of Trump.

@jlegget @Dodgers All the "City Connect" unis are ugly as homemade sin.

@Dodgers What do we have to do to have the dodgers stop wearing these hideous uniforms? They are an embarrassment to the history of the team!

Kiké trying to get Michael to do the Dodgers celebration. 😂

@amuse Just shows who they really are.

PETTY THEFT? Members of the press corps were witnessed smuggling wine and champaign bottles from the WHCD last night. Reasonable? Or a crime?

@amuse Can't be real...can it?

EUROPE… ready to defend itself from enemies, foreign or domestic! 🏳️‍🌈

@SharylAttkisson Hate to break it to you, but you're not settling this once, much less for all.

Let’s settle it once and for all. Coke or Pepsi?

@RadioGenoa @EmmanuelMacron So long, farewell; we wish you well. And hope to never see you again.

.@EmmanuelMacron announces that he will leave politics in 2027, do you want to say goodbye to him?

@DschlopesIsBack The city council thought so.

Is it possible for an American flag to be too big?

@TheEconomist No American government ever imagined a British government more concerned with currying favor with Islamists than with its allies.

No British government has ever imagined that an American president might turn his back on the special relationship between both nations. Until now econ.st/3OZceLM Illustration: Mona Eing & Michael Meissner

@BBGreatMoments @Megan_veiu Reminds me of the Zapruder film.☹️

Never forget when this teddy bear got absolutely smoked by a foul ball 😂

@LibertyValkyrie It's frightening if a mere 200,000 votes was all that stood between us and that moron becoming president.

“My campaign Manager said to me, ‘We need 200,000 votes we cannot find’ and all I could say was ‘My God, My God’ — I was so inarticulate.” —Kacklin’ Kamala on the moment she knew she was going to lose. Of all the gaffs and word salads, this moment was her “MOST Inarticulate” 🤭

@VigilantFox @sagesteele Bill, the answer is yes; we really are that incompetent and corrupt. And you know which political party is mainly responsible for it.

Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes. “Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.” “And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.” “The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.” “The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.” “How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?” “Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”

@jmbprime Just spitballing here, but maybe it's because he's the President?🤷‍♂️

Why does Donald Trump have so much power over so many Republicans in Congress.

@Osint613 America does not favor war either, but the problem is that a whole bunch of people around the world do favor war. What does the pope suppose we should do about that?

Pope Leo XIV: I carry in my pocket the image of a Muslim child killed in Lebanon… I cannot be in favor of war.

@Jimfrombaseball What the heck kind of pitch is he throwing in that pic? Knuckle curve? It looks more like a circle change than anything because of the thumb placement.🤷‍♂️

"The Los Angeles Dodgers, who were the joke of the baseball world in 1962 because they blew the National League title, are the World Champions of 1963 because they blew the New York Yankees off the field in four straight games. An autopsy showed that the Yankees passed away due to an overdose of Dodger pitching." Future Dodgers public relations executive, then Dodgers GM Fred Claire was a reporter in 1963, and wrote this in the Pomona Progress-Bulletin. "I want to go on and on, like Warren Spahn. My goal is to become the biggest winner in history. I’ll probably have to pitch 30 years to do it, but right now I feel that I can go on forever. The day you can’t do the job, the hitters will let you know before anyone else." 27 year old Sandy Koufax Won Games 1 and 4, pitching complete games in both, allowing three total runs with 23 strikeouts in his 18 innings to win 1963 World Series MVP. "The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't have to wait for the reviews." Sandy Koufax. "A foul ball off Koufax was a moral victory." Don Sutton. From 1963 to 1966, Sandy Koufax went 97-27 with a 1.86 ERA. In 1,192 innings pitched, he struck out 1,228 batters. He threw 89 complete games and 31 shutouts. Sandy Koufax also threw FOUR no hitters, the last one being a perfect game. The youngest player ever inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Three time Cy Young Award winner....unanimously each time. Three time Triple Crown winner!
