I hope you’ve learned your lesson.

Jesus, don’t interview the athletes while they’re walking into the stadium with the flag during the closing ceremony. Leave them alone to enjoy the moment. How fucking stupid.

Trump’s narcissism. Oh, I see that’s been covered.

“That bitch!”

Mon Dieu!

Wow.

They’re such assholes.

Fact-checking Trump’s Mar-a-Lago festival of falsehoods. More than 2 per minute. It would’ve been easier to count the things he said that were true. 162 lies and distortions in a news conference. NPR fact checks former President Trump There were a host of false things that Donald Trump said during his hour-long news conference Thursday that have gotten attention. A glaring example is his helicopter emergency landing story, which has not stood up to scrutiny. But there was so much more. A team of NPR reporters and editors reviewed the transcript of his news conference and found at least 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies in 64 minutes. That’s more than two a minute. It’s a stunning number for anyone – and even more problematic for a person running to lead the free world. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/11/nx-s1-5070566/trump-news-conference

Those that prevent history from being taught fully intend to repeat it.

‘I was law enforcement. I was taught that lying is part of the job.’

The GOP complained that he was a “celebrity.”

Says the Sith Lord.

I meant Adam Silver.

Helluva game. Lol Curry.

David Stern looks like a ghost.

She’s the most powerful VP in history. More powerful than Dick Cheney.

This isn’t anything new. It was reported by people working with him early on in his administration. There are just things that Trump thinks. Whether they’re true or not isn’t a consideration. Also, as Trump’s first Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said, “He’s a fucking moron.”

Here’s a change of pace:

I didn’t think so given my experience watching MASH. But I wanted to make the joke and Google’s generative AI provided me with the misinformation necessary to make it possible: ”Yes, enlisted personnel in the US military, such as corporals, are expected to salute all officers, including sergeants, as a sign of respect and recognition.”

If only there were some context provided to help answer that question.

The Daily Montanan says it will be indoors at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse at Montana State University. It also says Trump still owes the city for his last visit. Apparently Mike Pence and Don Jr also made visits that resulted in public expenditures that were not reimbursed. The taxpayer burden Trump’s campaign has been notorious for flaking on bills for security. According to a 2019 report from the Center for Public Integrity, Trump owed more than $840,000 to various city governments, and likely more, as Trump’s campaign does not acknowledge a single one of these city governments as debt in his federal campaign financial disclosures. In Billings, the protective measures put in place for his September 2018 rally resulted in 1,362 overtime hours between Billings PD and the Yellowstone County Sheriff’s office: 951 hours from the former, and 411 hours from the latter, bringing the total cost to $58,830. While the Yellowstone Sheriff’s office did not bill Trump’s campaign for the $12,930 cost it incurred – a standard practice the office follows for all political campaigns – Billings PD did, and as of the publication date of this article, that $45,900 bill has been left unpaid. Earlier that year, Vice President Mike Pence and Donald Trump Jr. also made stops in Billings. The vice president spoke at a public rally on July 25, also at MetraPark, organized by America First Policies. Donald Trump Jr. spoke at the Republican Convention in Billings on June 22. According to an internal memo sent to city council on Sept. 13, 2018, Vice President Mike Pence’s July 25 visit required 647.50 hours of overtime pay, totalling $31,200. Donald Trump Jr.’s visit ran $5,000 in overtime pay, bringing the total amount spent by the Billings Police Department alone on security for Trump’s campaign rallies in Billings in 2018 to $82,100. Billings isn’t alone. Missoula county commissioners also sent a billto the Trump campaign in 2018 for nearly $13,000 for public safety staffing costs. The county requested $10,835.41 for officer salaries, $1,059.26 for dispatcher salaries, $693.72 for Office of Emergency Management salaries, and $334.43 for miscellaneous expenses. According to Missoula County Communications Manager Allison Franz, that bill has also not been paid. Some municipalities, like Great Falls, don’t submit requests for payment, instead eating the cost from their own budgets. The Great Falls Tribune reported Trump’s July 5 visit to Great Falls cost the city, Cascade County and Montana Highway Patrol a total of $57,236, none of which was submitted for payment to Trump’s campaign. In total, in 2018 alone, Trump’s campaign cost various city and state departments – whether they billed for reimbursement and weren’t paid, or never billed at all – at least $150,000 in taxpayer money. “It’s a lot for a budget,” Lennick said. “It’s not something that’s built into our initial budget that we plan every year.” https://dailymontanan.com/2024/08/08/when-trump-comes-to-town-he-brings-excitement-leaves-unpaid-bills/

Imagine how Barron is going to turn out.

I know that’s what you’re saying and the justification you gave is that Israel hasn’t killed all the Palestinians. Hitler didn’t kill all the Jews in Europe. Does that mean the Nazis weren’t engaged in genocide?

They haven’t finished the job yet so it’s not genocide? That’s you’re defense?

Rush Limbaugh said it about Obama.
