A deranged monster on Twitter named Matt Tardio wants Trump to nuke Iran: “A B-61 variable yield nuclear bunker buster detonated at 5 KT, and 30-foot subsurface, would wipe Pickaxe Mountain off the map and have minimal fallout. “Iran is either a nuclear threat, or it's not. If Iran is, POTUS maintains 1st-strike option. “Enough games already.”

Claude AI session. Two questions: 1) who won the 2020 election? “ Joe Biden won the 2020 U.S. presidential election, defeating incumbent Donald Trump.” 2) Was that election stolen? “No. The 2020 election was not stolen. Claims of widespread fraud were investigated extensively - through more than 60 court cases (many heard by judges appointed by Trump himself), state audits and recounts (including in Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin), and reviews by Trump's own Department of Justice and cybersecurity officials — and none found evidence of fraud on a scale that would have changed the outcome. That said, it remains a politically contested claim: some public figures and a portion of the public continue to assert the election was stolen, while election officials across both parties, courts, and independent observers have affirmed the results as accurate. I can go into more detail on any specific claim (Dominion machines, mail-in ballots, etc.) if you want.”

Truth Social post by the war criminal in chief: 1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran - PRAISE BE TO ALLAH! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Blundering stupid post by Trump on Truth Social: “Signs and Billboards are being put up all over our Southern Border, and Mexico, advertising BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, with "Deliveries starting at $4000." Likewise, similar signs going up all over our Country. Billions of Dollars will be illegally made by this SCAM, with Citizenship going to anyone willing to pay. It will be, by far, the number one way of becoming a citizen, and then the entire family will be allowed to follow. Not sustainable. NOBODY SAW THIS COMING!!! AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP IS NOT FOR SALE! In fact, that is a crime, and therefore, the Supreme Court's ruling is wrong. I will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY. This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don't change their absolutely insane decision. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Tweet by @progressivevic on Twitter: We began asking our contacts on the ground in Maine about Troy Jackson earlier today after seeing many suggestions that he should replace Graham Platner against Susan Collins. In our discussions we have received troubling information about not only Jackson's behavior, but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly. Both as a result of the credibility of the sources and in the interest of not seeing our movement make the same mistake twice, we are choosing to share some of this now. As Maine Senate President in a state senate caucus meeting several years ago, Troy Jackson in a heated disagreement struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her. There are many witnesses, and it appears this is a widespread open secret within Maine politics and not an isolated incident. This information is still developing and we will provide updates in a thread in the comments of this post as we receive it.

Apparently caring that senators not have committed sexual assault makes me a "Zionist" on this app. What are we doing here?” In reply to: zemongoose.bsky.social @zemongoose.bsky.social • 25m “You are slimy, genocidal Zionist vermin. You lack the requisite humanity to pass judgement on others.”

War mongering Mark Levin doesn’t think that enough innocent blood has been shed in Iran by the US. He says in this tweet: “Time for a change in strategy. We should consider slow walking the enemy, building up our munitions, our oil reserves, get the price of gasoline down, get through the midterms, then knock them out. Instead of rushing to a deal, building up their oil industry, transferring billions to them, etc.”

Stupid White House tweet admonishing us to “Trust in Trump,” because “It” (unspecified) “Will All Work Out In The End.” Personally I’d rather eat festering goat brains than trust him for anything.
