I don't usually watch a lot of videos (though being able to speed up the audio is great!), but I highly recommend this one with Goldberg from the site @pique linked to.

What did you think of Goldberg's take on Trump? He called him a genius. Talked about how his whole approach is very Middle Eastern in style. Called him a real leader. I was a bit taken aback, but I could see his points.
It was one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. I thought his remarks about Trump were spot on; he totally has Trump and his strategies nailed.

I feel like the entire infrastructure of the united states is crumbling down atop our heads. At a time like this, I am especially grateful to have our little community to commiserate with. I don't see a lot of places online to have these conversations.

Joe Walsh is the former Tea Party guy from IL.
“Dear Americans who voted for Trump,” Walsh wrote. “You voted to put an incredibly small, petty, pathetic, un-American person in charge. You voted to make America more divided and less secure. That’s such a shame.”
“You will recall, Trump was afraid of going to Vietnam to serve his country and got deferments for ‘bone spurs,’" podcast host Jack Hopkins reminded his followers on Bluesky. “Milley received the Defense Superior Service Medal and was nominated for a valor award for his actions in Iraq.”
Democratic strategist Chris Jackson called the decision “a move of cowardice” and criticized Hegseth in an X post before adding “what a pathetic man.””

I wonder how many people who voted for Trump, and because they don’t like what they’re seeing, are now doing a lot of mental gymnastics to explain things in ways that still make Trump out to be the savior they thought he was…

@ShiroKuro The GOP is still all in. Here’s a digest of stories from yesterday. I just skimmed them, but the Republican congresscritters think everything is going swimmingly well.

Guantanamo.
"Most people don’t even know about it. We have 30,000 beds in Guantánamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people. Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them, because we don’t want them coming back," he added..
