Why is it Tom's, or anyone else's job, to do that? It's the job of each person. Time to be a grownup.

We were long time fans. And yes, she's gone bonkers. Antivax, proconspiracy, truly off the rails.

Trump has power to give. Positional authority. Policy trades. The Ric Grenells of this world want those things and they will support him to get those things.

If he thinks it's to his advantage, he will do it. If he doesn't, he won't. And they know that too.

Yes they are. They know perfectly well if they are willing to give Trump something, Trump will give them something. That's how he works and that's why he's getting so much support, as people see they can make deals with him for what they want.

"I'm here to help the rest of you feel better about yourselves!" 🤪 Once you're willing to do that, you can do all kinds of cool stuff you didn't think you could!

I once said my greatest asset was continuing to do stuff I like even though I'm not great at it. Ballet. Art. Triathlon. I have had so much fun with these and of course I got better at them over time, even if I was never a huge talent. You have to not mind feeling and looking stupid to learn.

Feel like a certain Supreme Court spouse is going to soon be seeing a lot more Pride flags than she used to.

Yes, exactly. Trump trades. He is wholly transactional. He offers people what they want, with no moral limitations, and they become hooked quickly.

Likewise. The worst go after the best. Infuriating and just so very wrong.

Red hands are very linked to this incident in the Israeli consciousness, and it's being used specifically to desecrate Holocaust memorials.
