@BillKristol and it's sometimes said there are no alternate universes

Trump’s GOP: The stupidest political party in American history.

@chiky_handlr apparently it's a false quote

Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers? Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.

@joshuatheard @JonahDispatch He settled with himself

@JonahDispatch He settles a lawsuit and gives the money to someone else. I don’t see the problem here.

The Trump slush fund is a clear cut impeachable offense. #nt=0000016a-0e43-dffa-a76b-3f6bfa3f0002-showMedia-liI0promoMedium-contentFooter" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">latimes.com/opinion/story/…

@DylanRatigan does a red line exist for Dylan?

My point is that the US government is and has been for many decades a corrupt operation. Trump has exploited this fact to his personal advantage and taken it to a level that has never been seen before.

@Sassafrass_84 false equivalency alert

This right here. Today, it's Donald Trump. Tomorrow it's you. Or me.

@JustinWolfers he is a stranger to nuance

“He failed to understand the interconnectedness of the world economy.” ⁣ ⁣ That was true in the trade war, and it’s true now.

@McFaul not a good showing for a 3D chess master

Trump helped turn the Strait of Hormuz into a global crisis—and now he’s looking to China to help bail us out. Think about how that makes us look to the rest of the world.

@BillKristol With a president like this no need for an enemy.

I wrote here Thursday morning, early on in the summit, of Trump’s kowtowing to Beijing. Even I didn’t expect the thoroughness of the groveling and capitulation that we ended up seeing, especially on Taiwan. thebulwark.com/p/donad-trump-…

@SKSINGH14307882 @neyikaybettik who are you quoting?

@neyikaybettik "Every word he said is the gospel truth."

Nvidia CEO'su Jensen Huang'a, 'hayatında tanıdığınız en zeki kişi kim' sorusuna cevabı: - Tanıdığım en zeki insan üniversite giriş sınavından berbat bir puan bile almış olabilir. - Herkes yazılım programlamanın nihai akıllı meslek olduğunu düşünüyordu. - Yapay zekanın çözdüğü ilk şey ne oldu? Yazılım programlama. - Zeki tanımı çoğu insanın düşündüğünden çok farklı. - Gerçek zeka: Teknik yetenek + İnsan empatisi + Söylenmeyeni anlama becerisi - Köşelerin ötesini görebilen insanlar gerçekten, gerçekten akıllıdır. - Sorunları ortaya çıkmadan önce önleyebilmek - sadece havayı hissettiğin için. - O hava: Veri + Analiz + İlk prensipler + Yaşam deneyimi + Bilgelik + Diğer insanları hissetmek - İşte bu zekadır. - Geleceğin zeki tanımı bu olacak. Ve o kişi SAT'den berbat bir puan alabilir.

@OurShallowState If you don't like his Iran deal making, stay tuned, he'll be deal making with Xi Jinping next. China could own us.

Here's the problem: When Pakistan said they expected a response from Iran on Thursday, and Trump and Rubio said they expected a response from Iran on Friday, Iran knew then and there they'd take longer to respond. They sent their response to Pakistan today; we don't yet know the substance. But THEY understand negotiation. And the problem is, Trump doesn't. We know that both sides would like to end the conflict, but Iran is intentionally frustrating Trump, even mocking him, because they understand strategy and posture better than him, and because they can. They understand that Trump's bloviations and hyperbole are empty. They understand Trump is addicted to professing his own grandiosity and they understand his transparent and desperate need to reverse the political decline of his Made for TV presidency. Therefore, the one really major card that Iran holds is NOT the Strait of Hormuz and it's NOT the enriched uranium. It's that they know Trump, desperate for an exit, is trapped by his own uncontrollable and cartoonish ego, and they will milk it for what they can.

@MikeBales working to end democracy is not "politics"

I’m a MAGA Republican. That doesn’t make me your enemy. It means I see things differently. We can disagree on politics and still respect each other. That used to be normal. 🙏🏻🇺🇸

@Naturalphilosy nature does not present us with feather beds, many men have been broken by the failures that must be endured.

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.” ― Terence McKenna

@edgaralandough you lost me on the part about regulating your nervous system

Normalize a boring life. Go to bed early, read long books, drink tea, regulate your nervous system, spend time alone, take walks without headphones, eat simple food, shrink your circle, and turn down the noise. Peace will look boring to people addicted to chaos, but that’s the point. Life doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful, and it doesn’t have to be public to be powerful. Sometimes the magic is in being unreachable, rested, focused, and quietly becoming someone nobody can disturb.

@Bebe1969 not purposely

Has Trump ever in his entire life made a decision that would benefit someone other than himself?

@BulwarkOnline @crampell personal hedge fund more like it - he won't stop until he's looted the country for every dollar he can get out of us.

"If the Fed has to raise rates...do you think the president will attempt to arrest or indict Kevin Warsh?" "I don't think it's totally outside of the realm of possibility." JVL and @crampell on Trump’s efforts to turn the Fed into another instrument of personal loyalty.

@karunpal I wonder what percentage of the worlds population have even that.

The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the ordinary. Pets. Plants. A quiet morning coffee. Blue sky. Cotton clouds. Birds singing. The gentle breeze through the trees. A clean, cosy house. Good food. Good hearted simple poeple. So much of life’s beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here. And somehow, one of the sweetest feelings is knowing I get to wake up and meet it all again tomorrow.

@OurShallowState It's a race to the bottom when DJT is in charge.

It sure looks to me as if Iran is intentionally frustrating Trump. It almost looks to me as if Iran is mocking Trump. It certainly looks to me as if Iran understands strategy and posture better than him. It also looks to me as if Iran absolutely understands how to exploit the emptiness underlying Trump's bloviations and hyperbole. But Trump cannot stop his bloviating, no matter what. He needs to project grandiosity when he can, or he'll melt. Having the world's most powerful military should be an asset, but for Trump, who needs to obtain narcissistic nutrition from posting threats daily, the strength of our military, in a way, becomes the narrative which facilitates faux grandiosity -- which is weakness. So, it looks to me like Iran holds one really major card. It's not the Strait of Hormuz and it's not the enriched uranium. It's that they know Trump, desperate for an exit, is trapped by his own uncontrollable grandiosity.

@LauraRbnsn "There was that law of life, so cruel and so just, that one must grow or else pay more for remaining the same." Norman Mailer, Deer Park

I don’t know a single person who supports Trump who isn’t a much worse person than they were 10 years ago. To a man, they get stupider and crueler every year.

@Maga4LifeLibT @JessicaTarlov your post has been reported

@JessicaTarlov You’re such a dumb bitch, grow a fcking Brian degenerate. Is that why Iran is spouting oil into the strait because they can survive another 3 to 4 months 😂🤣😂

This is a disaster.
