@ArnoldZiffell9 @JoyceWhiteVance It is because he does not believe his own lies…

@JoyceWhiteVance What's crazy is that Trump and his cronies said the Mueller report exonerated Trump...then why did they hate him so much? Seems like exonerating him should have made them grateful to him.

Seven years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

@Scaramucci @Valdensius ETTD in action. Continuous moral decline. The way out becomes harder every step.

Let me explain the sinister nature of what Trump actually does to people. He asks: are you loyal to me? Yes. Good. No forever wars. Are you with me? Yes. No forever wars. Then he starts the wars. And now he needs you to be with him on the wars too. And then the Epstein files come out. Allegations involving children. And he needs you to look the other way on that too. That’s the mechanism. That’s how it works. He moves the goalposts incrementally. Each ask is slightly more compromising than the last. And by the time you realize how far you’ve traveled from your own principles you are so deep in that you can’t find your way back. Loyalty to Trump doesn’t mean loyalty to an idea or a policy or a vision for the country. It means asymmetric, unconditional, no-questions-asked loyalty to whatever he decides is true today. You have to understand the sinister nature of that to understand what is really happening in Washington right now. This isn’t politics. This is a loyalty trap.

@KeithOlbermann Predictable but still shocking…

Predictable really. Trump is the worst person in the history of the United States of America. Period.

@AnnieForTruth Correction: it *was* an impeachable offense…

Recently released Epstein files reveal Trump bragged about “banging” his former 28 year old assistant, Madeleine Westerhout. He would skip going to Mar-a-Lago with Melania for holidays to stay back at the White House to have sex with Westerhout. That is an impeachable offense. ⬇️

@SenAdamSchiff Americans, you knew he was a snake and yet you let him in…

6 years ago this week, I warned the Senate how dangerous Trump would be if they did not convict him. I said he would not change, and that he would continue trying to cheat in our elections. I didn’t imagine then how right that would be.

@Isa_Yusibov Don’t get upset by Mark Rutte’s Trump language. It is functional BS. It is not aimed at our ears.

Mark Rutte in Kyiv: “President Trump and his team are determined to stop the bloodshed with the support of America’s allies." Maybe Western folks believe this shit, but you cannot lie to the Ukrainians about it. They ain't buying this bullshit.

@tobiemh @SurrealDB That's a (sur)real promotion! Congrats SurrealDB team, a vision starting to unfold...

A pretty surreal moment for me today. Years ago, when I started working on @SurrealDB, I knew we needed more than "just another database". We needed a language that made querying data feel expressive, modern, and actually enjoyable to use. That idea became SurrealQL, our own flavour of SQL, built for a world of multi-model data, where applications blend documents, graph relationships, and real-time state, and where AI-driven systems demand more flexibility than ever. This week, SurrealQL was officially accepted as a recognised language on @github. That might sound like a small checkbox, but to me it represents something much bigger. A language that started as an experiment is now being used, shared, and adopted widely enough to be acknowledged by one of the largest developer platforms in the world. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has tried SurrealDB, contributed feedback, opened issues, built projects, or simply believed that databases can be better. This is a turning point, and it's only the beginning.

@LesZards @anders_aslund Is Barron creepy enough to take over this role?

@anders_aslund 70 percent of the Republican Party, or about 35 percent of the US population, support Trump. If America survives the next 3 years.....some version of him can/will return at some point.

It might be my wishful thinking, but it appears to me that it is possible that Trump's disastrous performance in Davos might have been an international turning point. 1. No sane person would make such an anti-European speech in Europe, that is, Trump is not sane. /1

@mjfree Worshipping the beast… Collective madness…

What comes up when you look at this photo?

@OJoelsen Pleasing the Child President… How did we come this far…

Trump wins the FIFA Peace Prize. What do you think about that?

@Markfry809 Everybody knew d*mn well he was a snake before they took him in…

Hands up if you’ve known all along what a piece of shit this guy is. ✋

@ML3democrats “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.”

Kash Patel's performance as FBI director is exactly what we can expect from Pete Hegseth in a war, RFK jr. in a pandemic, or Tulsi Gabbard in a world where espionage exists. This administration is full of incompetent people. Do you agree?

@MeidasTouch Chances are that the destruction from within is intentional…

Meiselas: Donald Trump just got schooled by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. Powell said that based on how Donald Trump is harming our economy, it is far from a foregone conclusion that there will be further rate cuts. Hide that ketchup bottle from Donald Trump. Powell explains how neither inflation nor employment are going in the right direction. There’s a name for this, especially with a slowing GDP. It’s called stagflation.

@ChrisRobinsonNJ @Acyn MAGA: eery accusation is a … There it is again!

@Acyn Released violent criminals? Huh. I feel like someone else might’ve done that quite recently. Hmmm… 🤔

Johnson: He was checked out of his job for quite some time, and there was a cover-up, the people around him. They would give him scripts… he did not know what he was signing…. he pardoned categories of violent criminals and turn them loose on the streets… You cannot allow a president to check out and have unaccountable, unelected people making decisions for the country

@SeanCasten Incredible that the American people accept this. Although I strongly believe that this is a provocation, whispered in the orange ear by the Snake from Moscow and that the damage to American society is orders of magnitudes bigger, this is a symbolic act showing what is coming…

The Trump administration, in one image.

@MarcoFoster_ Remember: it is not only the orange wannabe king in the front row, the people behind him are much more dangerous…

Actor Robert De Niro on Donald Trump: “He has no empathy. He’s an alien. And he wants to hurt this country. It’s something deeply psychological in him. He wants to hurt people, he wants to hurt this country. I don’t understand the people in his cabinet. How they can live with themselves after what they’ve allowed him to do?”

@ML3democrats By far…

He is the worst thing that happened to the country. Do you agree?

@SaintLaurant @atrupar Another strategy: “As you are obviously avoiding to give an answer, the answer must be awkward…”.

@atrupar THIS, is how all host moderators should handle these Republicans when they continue their lying talking points. It is impossible to reason with habitual liars. George did this so beautifully.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time. VANCE: No, George, I sai-- STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

@donwinslow It is not the pathetic boy to be afraid of, he is just a loud mouthed dispensable cardboard front. It is the evil crew behind him…

He's scared. He's old. He's in terrible health. He's mentally unfit. He's weak. He's being laughed at by world leaders. He can't finish a sentence. He's tired all the time. He falls asleep a lot during briefings. He can't remember basic facts. Don't be scared of this pathetic boy
