William Lindsey :toad:<p>God shares some reviews he&#39;s gotten in the past month from Substack subcribers. They include accolades like this:</p><p>&quot;I believe in the Substack God.&quot;</p><p>Then he says that now he and his readers have found love, they need to decide what to do with it. One thing he&#39;s done: bought a Getty Images subcription so he can post high-res photos like the one below showing Trump&#39;s fanbase royally beclowning itself at the RNC.</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/God" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>God</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/beclowning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>beclowning</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/RNC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RNC</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.thegodpodcast.com/p/your-reviews-are-in" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thegodpodcast.com/p/your-revie</span><span class="invisible">ws-are-in</span></a></p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;Who could have guessed that Rudy Giuliani would look back at the days of hair dye streaming down his face at a Four Seasons total landscaping parking lot and actually be nostalgic for a time less humiliating than right now?&quot;</p><p>~ Brian Tyler Cohen</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/RudyGiuliani" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RudyGiuliani</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Giuliani" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Giuliani</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/beclowning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>beclowning</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/LawandOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LawandOrder</span></a> <br />/2</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFjyZEpDs78" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=XFjyZEpDs7</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a></p>

William Lindsey :toad:<p>Charlie Sykes notes that the &quot;average Republican&quot; believes that Trump made America great on the world stage, a belief that is &quot;bonkers&quot; when &quot;Trump was perceived as a boob and a fool the world over.&quot;</p><p>Then he provides a rundown of what Trump ACTUALLY did on the international stage and how world leaders and citizens of other countries ACTUALLY regarded him.</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/international" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>international</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ClownShow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ClownShow</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/beclowning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>beclowning</span></a></p><p><a href="https://morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/trump-criminal-trial-after-election" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/</span><span class="invisible">trump-criminal-trial-after-election</span></a></p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;Elon is a bad person. And also an unserious person. The only good news, as Paul Musgrave writes, is that he has single-handedly undermined the mythology of the billionaire-genius myth.&quot;</p><p>~ Dave Karpf</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Elon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Elon</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/BirdSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BirdSite</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/beclowning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>beclowning</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/BirdPoop" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BirdPoop</span></a></p><p><a href="https://davekarpf.substack.com/p/twitter-and-the-end-of-the-infinite" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">davekarpf.substack.com/p/twitt</span><span class="invisible">er-and-the-end-of-the-infinite</span></a></p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;The slow-motion release of the Bedminster tape over the past month has set multiple traps for former President Trump to make inconsistent, incomplete, contradictory, and ultimately comical statements about what the recording captured.&quot;</p><p>~ David Kurtz</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crime</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/criminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>criminal</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/beclowning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>beclowning</span></a></p><p><a href="https://talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo/it-was-a-big-day-in-trump-accountability-world" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-</span><span class="invisible">memo/it-was-a-big-day-in-trump-accountability-world</span></a></p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;Yes, we have (fingers crossed) avoided a dreaded default. Which is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Meanwhile, the U.S. government, prodded by House Republicans, has spent the past few months beclowning itself before the rest of the world.&quot;</p><p>~ Catherine Rampell</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Republicans</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/DebtCeiling" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DebtCeiling</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/beclowning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>beclowning</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/05/28/debt-limit-deal-budget-differences/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/opinions/20</span><span class="invisible">23/05/28/debt-limit-deal-budget-differences/</span></a></p>
