i am still processing quite a few things, as i’m sure many of you are, but i still have no been able to come to terms with how epically funny and utterly predictable it was of how hard the entire Trump administration got played by the North Koreans, largely because Trump...
…gleefully allowed them to.
Republicans spend half their time accusing Dems of having naive foreign policy and playing cute w/ brutal dictators, & all it took for the Trump admin to be subdued by Kim Jong Un was to have Trump sit down for a Kodak moment w/ him.
It’s just objectively, howlingly funny.

I’ve only had one one-on-one conversation with Biden in my life and it started when we were both at side by side urinals right outside an American Sniper screening that I had just been kicked out of for accidentally upsetting Bradley Cooper and also the real-life sniper’s widow.
True story.
I got kicked out because I asked Cooper and Mrs. Kyle on the red carpet about criticisms, particularly from certain writers on the left, that Chris was a “cold blooded killer.” Both had very cogent, interesting answers, and acted as if they’d been prepped for that type of Q...
“The president knows about it. I’ve spoken with Ivanka & I’ve spoken with Jared, & I’ve been told that President Trump is aware of the case & has been reviewing it,” Alice Johnson confirmed to me. “I’ve spoken to Mark Meadows about it, and he said he’d take a look at it.”
As of Sunday, Harry-O was still waiting to hear if he’ll be out of prison and headed home as the Biden era dawns. Trump’s final batch of pardons/commutations is expected to drop soon.
It appears that when the list of Trump’s final pardons/commutations finally comes out, a Death Row Records founder will be on it. "It feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off my sholders," Harry-O said in a statement to The Daily Beast...
Baltimore pastor @DrDonteLHickman, from Dec. 9, when asked about Trump’s record (in 2018, Hickman helped Trump launch the “opportunity zones” council at a WH event featuring Trump & the pastor):
@DrDonteLHickman He added, "I’m looking forward to working with the new administration.”
Here’s a look back at Hickman’s work & frustrations with the Trump initiative, which POTUS widely touted as a supposed success story for his policies for poor & Black communities: thedailybeast.com/trump-promised…
@DrDonteLHickman Pastor Hickman spent years, even when he was critical of how the opportunity zones were coming along (or not coming along), refraining from aggressively going after Trump, saying he was focused on helping his community in Baltimore and didn’t want to get dragged into the...
in gauging the president’s interest level, the meeting apparently lasted five-to-ten minutes, and also: "The president, in Lindell’s account, didn’t even get through the first four pages before sending Lindell out of the room.”
…that Lindell relayed was President Trump asking who a man and a woman were in the photos on the second page of the “report.” Lindell says he replied that he did not know.
if he remains so “committed” to it than why were there various escalations, and why, when he had four years as commander in chief, are the wars still endlessly going on
Trump showed exponentially more commitment to absolving accused and convicted war criminals than he did to ending endless war. He inherited them, but he escalated several conflicts. And now he leaves office with more domestic blood caked on american soil than even his harshest...
…critics could have imagined when this all started.
His presidential library is going to a hilarious whitewash, it’ll make museums run by some dictators look quaint
