For me, this paragraph sums it up:

_Several campaign officials had told me, throughout the spring and summer, how excited they were about working in the next Trump White House. Now those same people were telling me—as paperwork was being distributed internally to begin the process of placing personnel on the transition team and in the prospective administration—that they’d had a change of heart. The past three months had been the most unpleasant of their careers. Win or lose, they said, they were done with the chaos of Donald Trump—even if the nation was not. _

They had to be right next to Trump to realize how toxic he is. How voluntarily blind can you be?

They’re gonna save themselves (of course), but will they do anything to save the country from Trump? No, of course not, that would require a spine.

The whole God damn family is whack

Just so people can judge for themselves…

I’m so disappointed :

Tim Burton’s Stale Hollywood Gothic: Bobbert says new Beetlejuice not nearly as erotic as the musical

Trump gets to be the last one to talk on EVERY exchange.

To be clear, you don’t have a plan?

I have the concepts of a plan.

To be clear, you don’t have a plan?

I have the concepts of a plan.

And close hers.

Yeah, so far it feels like the second option.

But I have to admit, I’m not sure it works in his favour. He sounds nuts. More than usual. She’s getting under his skin.

I also think the quick fact checking done by the anchors (very few things so far) is really making him furious.

That bit about pet eating immigrants was… Interesting.

It sounds like something I’ve heard before…

This guy’s whole career is despicable.

Let’s say you had the choice between :

1-Getting a million dollars, no strings attached

Or

2-Trump goes to prison for his crimes for the rest of his life

Which one do you choose?

A million dollars buys nice things, but I don’t think it would ever come close to the joy and satisfaction I’d get from option 2.

Republican 2024 vice presidential candidate JD Vance once said about his wife, Usha: “Obviously, she’s not a white person … But I just, I love Usha. She’s such a good mom.”

It’s only the beginning:

_By February 2025, the Biden administration will also unveil up to 15 more drugs that will be subject to the next round of price talks, with agreed-upon prices going into effect in 2027. Drugmakers will have until the end of that month to decide whether to participate in the program.

After that second round, CMS can negotiate prices for another 15 drugs that will go into effect in 2028. The number rises to 20 negotiated medications a year starting in 2029.

“Sometimes I think people get caught up in the fact that their drug isn’t on the list, but it will be on the list at some point in the future if they’re taking a drug that’s resulting in high costs,” Purvis said. _

I though it was Vientiane for a second. It isn’t : they don’t have tall buildings there.

Little story about Vientiane and cats: there’s a old lady that feeds the street cats twice a day, at 8 am and 5 pm. Like clockwork, about 20 cats show up 15 min before those times and just wait for her. It looks a lot like the picture, only with a lot more cats. Moral of the story: cats can precisely tell the time.

I looked up Last Thursdayism also, it did not disappoint :

if the world was created 6,000 years ago with the appearance of being made billions of years ago, what is there to stop us from claiming it was made Last Thursday?

The debate on whether Last Thursdayism is true has raged on ever since the creation of the universe last Thursday.

Tucker Carlson responded to today’s verdict in what can only be described as an apocalyptic tone, stating on X that the jury’s decision marked “the end of the fairest justice system in the world.” The former Fox News host said that Trump would still win the election “if he’s not killed first,” and closed by saying that “anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family.”
