Fox tries to elicit an emotional story from Trump about when he heard that Kirk had been shot:



Trump [blabs about ballroom — he was working on plans with architects so Xi’s shoes don’t get wet in tents on lawn] they came in and said Charlie Kirk is dead. I didn’t know what they meant. I said what do you mean dead? [stage whisper] Charlie Kirk was shot[/whisper] And they thought he was dead cause it was so horrific you know it looked? And I said “dead?”

The difference between his sort of jovial interjection and his description of the conversation at the end of this clip is pretty striking, actually.

“I had one the other night, I went into a restaurant and this woman stood up. I looked at her immediately. she had money she was a, she wasn’t, she [mumble] they get paid for it their profession they get paid for it from Soros and other people. And we’re going to look into Soros because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people because this is more than like protests this is real agitation this is riots in the street and we’re gonna look into it.”

The “paid agitators” that have Trump worked up:



[Watch him back up against the column toward the end — it looks like he could hear what they were saying at first, then waves to get them removed then looks genuinely worried as he presses against the column and more agitatedly waves for their removal]

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!!

Oh, Marco is a 100% power grifter. He’s a slightly less detestable Ted Cruz. Both have has some fundamental political beliefs, but those beliefs stand no hope when up against their internal drive for relevance.

It’s amazing how far these are ready to debase themselves just to be puppets for a vile human being who wants to make himself dictator.

U.S. warns of response to 'witch hunt' after Brazil’s Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years

The chances of a near-term de-escalation between the U.S. and Brazil are low, Morningstar analysts said, adding the bilateral relationship is likely to deteriorate further.

The U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday said the U.S. will "respond accordingly" to what he called a "witch hunt" against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, without specifying how.

The remarks came shortly after Brazil's Supreme Court sentenced Bolsonaro to 27 years and three months in prison after being convicted of plotting a coup to overturn the 2022 election.

When he ends all the wars, will we still need a Department of War? Can we change the name to Department of Peace?

Or even better -- and I know this is CRAZY -- maybe the Department of Defense?

You know, just in case someone decides to go ham somewhere down the road.

That’s fine with me as long as we don’t put Mack Brown in charge of it.

Albania appoints AI bot as minister to tackle corruption

A new minister in Albania charged to handle public procurement will be impervious to bribes, threats, or attempts to curry favour. That is because Diella, as she is called, is an AI-generated bot.

www.reuters.com

“… Prime Minister Edi Rama, who is about to begin his fourth term, said on Thursday that Diella, which means "sun" in Albanian, will manage and award all public tenders in which the government contracts private companies for various projects.

… “Diella is the first cabinet member who isn’t physically present, but is virtually created by AI,” Rama said during a speech unveiling his new cabinet. She will help make Albania "a country where public tenders are 100% free of corruption."

The awarding of such contracts has long been a source of corruption scandals in Albania, a Balkan country that experts say is a hub for gangs seeking to launder their money from trafficking drugs and weapons across the world, and where graft has reached the corridors of power.…”
