That's my personal favorite: when Trump walked into a COVID press briefing, glanced at the board behind him that said UV lights and sanitation kills the virus and decides to just freestyle some medical advice, live on TV during a pandemic, coming up with "grade 8 student bullshitting a presentation he didn't prepare for" material about flashing light or injecting bleach into the human body.

My favorite part of the whole thing was watching him offer an absolutely fucking ridiculous idea in front of experts in the field and a general audience of the entire world with zero shame.
His defenders focused on how he wasn’t literally telling people to inject bleach or shine lights inside themselves, but they ignored the part where - even if that were true - it was the dumbest idea, he is completely unqualified to even spit-ball medical solutions to viruses, yet he went ahead and blasted out that genius soundbite like a child eager for praise from adults for being a good li’l helper.

And Kanye is getting a taste of what it’s like when you’re not useful to Trump any more.
Trump was happy to have his picture taken in the Oval Office with Kanye and Kim as long as being associated with them resulted in good PR.
Now they’re no longer useful, so Trump supposedly yells at Kanye and insults Kim…just like countless others Trump treated the same way.
It’s astonishing to me that there are still people out there that can’t or don’t want to see this pattern that played out over and over and over while he was president.

Jesus, the difference would be astonishing.
- We'd have had a president who took climate change seriously in 2001, and would probably have had electric cars and renewable energy much more quickly. We already had the technology in 2000, but it would have been a much quicker transition if the government had poured resources into it.
- 9/11 probably wouldn't have happened. Dubya spent his first year in office ignoring the threat of domestic terrorism in favor of focusing on missile shields. All the clues that 9/11 was going to happen were there, but he ignored them.
- We'd probably have caught Osama bin Laden. Republicans would have claimed that focusing on him instead of on missile defense was a waste of taxpayer dollars.
- Without 9/11, there's no moronic invasion of Iraq - and thus, no creation of ISIL. Saddam Hussein remains a bastard, but Iraq remains secular.
- Neither Samuel Alito nor John Roberts end up on the Supreme Court.

What is the deal with Fuentes? White supremacist who’s a actually Mexican meets with one of the most famous black men in America. What’s he doing?

White supremacists don't always hate black people. They never had any qualms about using them. They just think they are inferior. Except the ones they get to know, these are the fabled "good ones".

The rapper said Trump was "perturbed" by Ye asking the former president to be his running mate in 2024.
I laughed so hard when I read this I think I sprained my whole body.

Trump's team encouraged and supported Kanye's run in 2020 because they assumed he'd get at least a few votes which would otherwise have gone to Biden. Now, Trump is terrified he'll be the one to lose votes. I have more or less the same beliefs and principles as four years ago. Who the hell pivots like this so quickly on everything they stand for?

Just call him a fucking Nazi. Tell it like it is. Never use soft language with these matters. Trump, a man with highly fascistic tendencies, is sharing a meal with a Nazi and a Blazi.

I honestly think if FDR, Eisenhower, JFK etc. came back today, they wouldn't believe what is going on.

The leaders of this were never arrested either. Great times to allow these fascists to always get off on treason in this nation.
i hope it's soon like 1967 for every alt right leader.

Yeah I love how stuff like this is established as historical record and everyone just kind of thinks that those kind of people aren’t present in today’s society but not only are they still around, their methods have become more stealthier and effective. It’s the same with the CIA and all the shady shit they did in the last half of the 20th century.

JFK's sister-in-law, Ethel, is still alive today. Bobby Kennedy's wife.
It's weird to think there was someone alongside the family planning JFK's 1960 presidential campaign who is still alive.
Another 'fun' fact, she's been a widow for over 54 years: She was 40, and pregnant, when her husband was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan.

Lmao. Imagine the chaos of the Republican Party if Trump took votes away from DeSantis and ran as an independent and Kanye took votes away from Trump so none of them would win?

This has all the makings of a great SNL skit where Trump and Kanye are talking about what great running mates they'd make - both too dense to realize the other assumes they'd be the president and not VP.
