> [@enipla](#): > > She should sue for unlawful detention. Just to be clear, she was not hauled in anyplace. She was detained at the bus stop - not that that’s okay. > Elaine Miles, an Indigenous actor, alleges that she was stopped by four masked men while she was walking to a bus stop in Redmond. She offered them her ID card from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon but was told by an ICE agent that “anyone can make that.” The original article: > When the men did not believe Miles’ tribal ID, she pointed to a phone number for the Umatilla Tribal enrollment office on the back of the card. > > “Call it,” she said. > > When they didn’t, she took out her phone to call the office herself, but the agents tried unsuccessfully to take her phone, she said. That’s when a fifth agent in the SUV whistled over, and the agents went back to their vehicles and left. ---

Most of us don’t. ---

They probably responded to the ad running on football games advertising the 50k sign on bonus. This administration doesn’t require credentials or qualifications for attorney general or secretary of defense, to be a clubber of brown heads I bet you just have to ask for it. ---

> [@DWMarch](#): > > Latest rumoured estimates courtesy of the Leqembi speculation (new Alzheimer’s drug that has a side effect of brain bleeds; given by IV and requiring MRIs as follow up) give him 3-5 more months. I’d vastly prefer 3-5 days but the Grim Reaper isn’t in a hurry on this one. Still got to make some room in Hell now that Dick Cheney is down there. I only recently heard of the Leqembi speculation thanks to @Smapti in another trump thread. It certainly would explain the recent MRI, the constant bruising on his hand, and the fact that he’s now the Catnapper in Chief. For anyone who hasn’t yet heard this speculation, originally tweeted by Democratic Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, [here’s some more info](https://www.al.com/politics/2025/12/trump-showing-signs-hes-battling-major-medical-crisis-democrat-claims.html). trump is clearly mentally unwell. Of course the speculation as to whether he has dementia or his symptoms can be fully explained by rampant malignant narcissism have been endlessly debated since his first term, but he is plainly becoming more confused and erratic, the things he says increasingly nonsensical. If he is being treated for advanced dementia, how much longer can his handlers hide it from the public, I wonder? [This video clip](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CRyMcpBdyBc?feature=share) is old in terms of trump news, more than two months old, but surprisingly I only recently became aware of it. Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean is buttonholing Mike Johnson, calling trump ‘unhinged’ and saying something has to be done. The things she’s saying are nothing that haven’t been said about trump in media circles thousands of times, but a Congressperson publicly confronting the Speaker of the House about it seems extraordinary. I’m surprised this clip did not get more news coverage at the time (or if it did, again somehow I missed it). ---

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are. You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are. And when your hand is on your heart, You’re nearly a good laugh, almost a joker, With your head down in the pig pen, Saying, " Keep on digging" Pig stain on your fat chin. What do you hope to find Down in the pig mire You’re nearly a laugh You’re nearly a laugh, But you’re really a cry. ---

> [@excavating\_for\_a\_mind](#): > > Unfortunately, so am I. Isn’t this the incentive to eat good food, exercise regularly, take the medicines that our doctors insist that we take daily? Isn’t the reason why it is both just and right to curse at thieving commercials which are jammed down our throats of “part C” insurance policies"… the cheesy "the price of funerals has increased $x.xx " … the cheesy “your car needs repair insurance” … the cheesy “Your house needs repair insurance” and “gutter replacement” glurg? Why scammer TV commercials selling false promises via “certificates of silver/gold” and other phony items pretending to be of monetary value are allowed broadcast on TV as if they were fact ( and not scams ) ? Why “reverse mortgage” scammers are still allowed to advertise?

Let’s start simple. He’s a moron. I mean literally. He _may_ have an IQ of 70. Maybe. Dump dimensia on top of that with a sprinkling of alzheimer’s and you don’t have a person that could be a Walmart greeter. Give a moron a shit ton of money. Someone that craves power because of their narcissism, and this is what you get.
