Folks, these are the rantings of a crazy person. Note how Trump resorts to attacking the wives of men he doesn’t like. The president is a lunatic.

@jimstewartson @MelBSilverman I never thought I'd feel sorry for Rubio, but maybe here I could make the exception

1/3 You may see clips of Trump’s self-evident dementia, but the full effect requires stamina. Here is NINE MINUTES of Trump talking about his fountains in a Cabinet meeting. Try to read it. I dare you. “D.C. and D.C. is looking beautiful. The fountains are almost all open. We had 28 of them, and we have one in particular, a very long lake, we call it. They're reflecting lake between the Lincoln Monument. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. You take a look at between Lincoln and Washington. You have the longest, like 2,400 feet long. That's longer than the tallest building in the world, if you set it on your side. And it's almost 200 feet wide. And for-- actually, it was built in 1922. And from 1920 to '21, it really never worked. It always leaked. And it was a problem about things. And hundreds of millions was spent. The Biden administration and the Obama administration spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get it to work, and they failed. And we'll be spending-- you'll give me a number. But I think it's very low numbers, like in the number that we originally talked about. Where we cleaned it, we fumigated it, that we had 10 major truck dumpsters of garbage taken out. Can you believe it? Friend of mine came in. Very substantial person from Germany. Want to see the Washington Monument. I wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial. He said, I look, but that horrible reflecting pond is disgusting. It's filthy dirty and disgusting. I said, really, I drove down. I said, secret shares was taken dry. And we went down. I said, that's terrible. And for the most part, it didn't work. I mean, they wouldn't even have water in there. But when they did, it was just dirty, filthy water that leaked out. And we got to work on it. And they were supposed to cost almost 400, think of it, 400 million dollars, because it's like putting the skin on a skyscraper. But bigger, much bigger, many skyscrapers, you could almost say, other than for the world. So I think of it, the world's tallest skyscraper is shorter than 2,400 feet. So we went to work. And over the years, I built hundreds of pools. I built them every time I built them. I always like to build the Olympic size swimming pools. And I was very aware of swimming pool, what goes into making a swimming pool. It's not as simple as people think. You never wanted to leak. You want a beautiful surface. I said, you know, I have an idea, Doug. We sat down. I said, let's take that long thing where we're going to fix it with concrete, which leaks, concrete, all sorts of other materials that all leak and don't look good. They're gray. And swimming pool, I have a swimming pool right up the road. I built it 22 years ago. It's perfect. I said, does it ever leak, though? It's good contractors. I actually called it a couple of the contractors, got some ideas from them. And I gave it to Doug and Doug's done an unbelievable job. And so they were going to spend maybe 400 million dollars. I don't know. You never know with cost overruns and everything. But it was going to take years to build three years, four years. And we'll have it done before July 4th substantially, before July 4th. If we didn't have such a bad weather the last four or five days, it could have been almost done. We have to-- you can't do this substance in the rain. And what they did is they cleaned it. They took out, as I said, more than 10 dumpsters of garbage. Shovels, it was disgusting. Well, every corner, every corner, had massive amounts of-- I guess that's the way the tide goes. But at massive amounts of garbage, we then steamed clean it. We then sandblasted it. And then we pebble blasted. That's a bigger version of sand. We made the surface as good as it can be. Now we're now covering it with the most beautiful blue. Very thick, you think of it as a very sophisticated form of rubber. No leaks, no problems. And it's beautiful. It's called American Flag Blue that was the color we chose.”

Trump: "You take a look. The Lincoln Memorial -- it was built, I guess, a little after the Lincoln Memorial. It's embarrassing. It was so horrible. It was filthy dirty. It was Biden."

@abymaelx Gorgeous photos. Why I despair of shooting dance live. What was lighting setup and EXIF? Expose for the main light from camera-left?

That’s a lot of anger

@JayinKyiv Brilliant!

Ukrainians - Before being forced to turn filthy russian savages into a charred pink paste that can only be removed with a shovel, and after.

@modernHealthMe date night

A guy noticed something under his date’s arm skin. He had never seen anything like it before. Can you tell what it is?

@TrackYourHeart ai

Patient with breathlessness and involuntary head bobbing. What’s the diagnosis?

@vincempls Would Blanche commit suicide with cyanide to avoid retribution by advancing forces? There is precendent.

June 1, 1933: The "Fund of German Trade and Industry" is created, a huge slush fund administered by Martin Bormann in the Führer's name. The regime used the funds to compensate SA Stormtroopers who committed street violence, subsize the SS, and enrich Nazi party officials.

@DrNeilStone so were the research labs that he closed. Almost nothing could be better than to see him contract Ebola.

RFK Jr has finally spoken about Ebola "We're working on it" was all he had to say Do you trust him? Me neither

@Sabiha1278 Yes, that is precisely how it works. You now have a cat. Lucky you. 'Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.'

I do not have a cat. I’ve never had a cat, and yet this cat came by randomly (no idea where from) and came into my house. Do I now have a cat? Is that how it works?

@DrNeilStone Do you remember Dan Berehulak’s reportage in NYT? Beyond heroic.

Few things in medicine scare me Few things in Infectious Disease medicine scares me Ebola scares me

@DrNeilStone Don't worry, our CDC and World Health Organization watch dogs will take care of us. A little turmeric and zinc, and we will be fine. Don't worry. Yes, I'm scared shitless too. (FACP).

@panagis21 Please please please tell me they do not pronounce it with a hard “g.”

In a meeting: Them: Wow, “Panagis”. That’s not a name I hear often. Me: Well, I hear it every day 🙃 8 yo in the background: I don’t. I call you Dad.

@IhabFathiSulima Compartment syndrome. Surgical evacuation.

@LucasSa56947288 Diaper loaded

Why is Donald Trump standing like that?

@drkeithsiau Pigheadedness. Flying overseas with non traumatic acutely erythematous ankle & joint. Septic arthritis or cellulitis could kill yiu. It nearly did me. FACP here…

This is my swollen ankle - started this weekend and needed crutches to do my ward round. Glad to have made it to Milan, but I’m now paying the price! PS what’s my diagnosis? 😂

@saniyafatma1278 Count your blessings

This is not my cat. I have never met this cat before. But he is currently lying in my house like we signed a friendship contract years ago. I asked around, and nobody nearby seems to know him… so apparently a very friendly little stranger just walked in and claimed us. 🐾

@MatthewSputnick Good I love this! Heroyam slava!

Share some Ukrainian humor. I'll start:

@hemo_shk Meningovoccemia?

All four limbs… turning black at the same time 😳 What happened?
