Amazing. Trump has better political instincts than these clowns. They know he’s lying — just like we know he’s lying — but they’re upset that he won’t publicly embrace their fascist playbook.

Also, he was POTUS, & you would think if he *did* have a colonoscopy pre-scheduled, it’d be for 1st thing in the morning. An afternoon colonoscopy means he had to fast & go w/out liquids for at least 6 hours before-hand. (Rather than those 6 hrs being overnight ones when he was asleep.)

The most remarkable part of this story is that the bus came along just in time. Meanwhile the rest of us end up waiting 15-20 mins because the bus we needed JUST pulled away before we got to the bus stop.

That’s not what I meant, & apologies if that’s what I implied.
I meant that he is a germaphobe & would likely be too freaked out about the procedure to do it fully conscious, w/out anesthesia.

I think, with how leaky that WH was, & with the number of people who’ve now turned on him, by now we’d have heard if he was on the toilet for a day. I could be wrong. But I’m definitely skeptical about whether this was actually why he went to Walter Reed. I lean towards something urgent/unexpected.

Oh absolutely. Plenty have done it awake. I just think Trump is way too big of a wimp & germaphobe to do it fully conscious. Even if it meant letting Pence technically be in power for the duration.

(Not suggesting Trump had his weirdo doctor knocked off, btw. Just that it’s more difficult to investigate now that he’s dead.)

They also never really bothered to dig into Trump’s medical records being scooped up from his weirdo NY Dr’s office. And I believe that Dr is dead now, so he can’t fill us in any further. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I remember this! And not only did I doubt he actually had a fully-conscious colonoscopy (because he’s a wimp), but as most people know, that procedure requires fasting & shitting your brains out the day before, along w fasting/no liquids the day of—it’s not a spur of the moment procedure!

for context: this is one of the two conservative law school professors who championed the 14th amendment argument against Trump, giving it a real boost last summer. unsurprising that he's for the rest of the court's decisions but down on that one and the immunity case

It’s wild that they seem to be helping the guy who coined the terms “the failing NYT” & “fake news”, who fomented mass distrust in the media by framing it as “the enemy of the people”, who put targets on the media’s backs, & who’ll gleefully imprison journalists via his new POTUS immunity.

I didn’t miss it. My comment above was about how Haberman recent piece is yet another article about Biden’s age, which is far less a threat than the right-wing threats of violence that Maggie Astor wrote about.

Just down the street from the rental house is a house with 2 dogs. One is a basset hound. It climbs up the little rock wall there and sits in the top of the playhouse. It takes the slide down. It is adorable.

There’s a second Maggie ( @maggieastor.bsky.social ) who covers politics for the NYT, & whose piece, here, should be getting far more amplification than the “Biden’s old” coverage by Maggie Haberman.

Yup. Lots of people pointing out obviously this would be weaponized against LGBTQ folks. But also it just fundamentally bristles with a hostility towards privacy and freedom that runs through the entire project.

LOL, I thought for a minute you were making a joke using a pic from The Onion…but that’s his actual NYT photo! He sat down for that pic to be taken, & presumably approved it, like, “yeah, that’s the best image you’ll get of me, & is an excellent representation I’m proud to have next to my byline!”

Giving up hope is also complying with authoritarians in advance. It’s saying that fascism is inevitable, that there is no other way to be. I know it’s hard to keep hope alive, but I hope you find a way. ❤️
