Wow. If I had ever read this, I’d forgotten. In my mind, Trump doesn’t read anything but news articles and magazines that mention him. Anyway, I wondered who was feeding him this specific rhetoric. Turns out he does read a bit. Who’d a thunk… ---

Trump’s brain breaks when he sees the word “Yosemite” on a teleprompter. No chance he’s read much, but I can see him wanting to struggle through maybe one of the really important books. Like a religious text, for example. 😆 Or Mein Kampf. ---

And furthermore, Trump has said publicly that he has not read Mein Kampf, therefore, he has read Mein Kampf. ---

So Biden is in my area today and I saw this in the [news](https://www.fox6now.com/news/president-biden-milwaukee-black-owned-small-businesses): > **U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Wisconsin)** > > "President Biden is in Milwaukee to tell people not to believe what they are seeing with their own eyes… The quote goes on and I have no idea what he [Biden] has been talking about beyond the general ‘bidenomics’, but I’d love for some main stream media to pick up on that quote and explain A)what it means B)That it’s not what he’s doing and C)every accusation is a confession. If Biden said anything even close to what [Trump said](https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/politics/presidential/donald-trump-vfw-speech-kansas-city-what-youre-seeing-reading-not-whats-happening-20180724.html), I’d be surprised. > “Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what’s happening,” Trump said. “Just stick with us, don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news.” ---

I highly doubt Biden said anything like what Trump said. He probably said something about the economy being strong, and Steil is suggesting that people should trust their own views and opinions more than what Biden says. Just another case of Pubs not being content to disagree, but needing to impugn motives as well. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > I’d expect that most of the students chanting it on college campuses don’t have any clue that some people use the same terms to advocate genocide. And heck, I imagine that most Palestinians, even, would be happy with an Israeli government that wasn’t dominated by Netanyahu and his extremists. Yes, I’d guess you’re right about both of these. Too many college students fail to think for themselves; there seems to be a species-wide tendency, especially at that age, to prioritize ‘fitting in’ over actually investigating one’s advocacies. And Netanyahu really does need to go. Many Palestinians would take heart from his departure. ---

Come up to me on the floor of the Congress with this weak sauce “blackmail”, and I’d all, “Oh, no, don’t do that, don’t go telling everyone I had sex with a hot chick, that would be aWfUl.” Then I’d high-five my intern.
