To be fair to the man, when I drink from a bottle of water, I usually use my dominant right hand.

Donald can use both at the same time. He’s very ambidextrous.

To be fair, the term “multi-tasking” is known _only_ to a handful of North American linguistics professors and one small child in Indonesia.

Now Trump wants to give all police immunity from prosecution:

> “We’re going to give our police their power back,” Trump told supporters during a rally last week in Waukesha, Wisconsin. “We are going to give them immunity from prosecution.” The twice-impeached and four-times-indicted former president made a similar statement in December 2023 during a campaign event in Iowa, where he promised to “indemnify” police officers to shield them from prosecutorial harm.

That’s literally an authoritarian police state. A strong man with absolute immunity, and a police state with no accountability.

And a very large number of Americans are going to vote for this exact scenario. Because this is what they want.

This should provide some food for thought for anyone who was thinking of not voting for Biden in order to “send a message” about Palestine.

_Speleological_ isn’t quite right, since it refers to the science of studying caves and Trump’s anti-science and couldn’t pronounce it if he wanted to:

“I know more about spee… spee… leo the lion, and logical, like Dr. Spock, than anyone.”

They will just ‘lalalala fingers-in-ears’ Trump’s promise away…because “sending a message to Biden” makes them feel so very, very _ **powerful** _.

Useful idiots indeed.

Some people are so addicted to outrage that they seek out the situations that will give them the most opportunities to be outraged.

They should be careful what they wish for, because they just might get it.

Absolutely. And sadly, all the rest of us will get it, too.

Some of this is due to our media culture. Outrage = self-righteousness, and we humans _love_ to feel self-righteous. Having your righteousness validated via numbers of the like-minded happens every day on the internet.

This is so true. In a local protest encampment near me, they are currently outraged by a made up story of cameras on a building (they do not exist) and are also outraged that the police have not been called to break them up, therefore denying them the right to be visibly oppressed.

Maybe Trump should set up a kissing booth outside the courthouse so all the visitors can masticate derriere. The speaker of the house, the senators, George Santos, Vivek Ramaswamy could get photos with him to further their careers.
