It’s embarrassing but the Jimmy Kimmel debacle actually is important. It was the first real attempt by the Project 2025 movement to flex their muscle against someone who wasn’t a nameless, defenseless nobody and it catastrophically flopped in less than a week.
There's no scenario — none — where WH staff isn't overseeing the prompter. Physical scrolling is typically handled by military personnel from the Comms Agency who train for years. A WH staffer *always* runs the show. As a former WH speechwriter, this is my only area of expertise.
Bessent is willing to bail out his friend in Argentina who is failing badly, but says he won’t help an American city if they get in trouble from bad policy.

I'd like a retvrn to the sort of politics where it's frowned upon for the vice president of the United States to call someone a "dipshit" on social media. Unlikely, I know, but one can dream.

All of this bs because Trump’s staffer stopped the escalator for him then couldn’t get it going again and the Whitehouse staffers were in charge of the Teleprompters too so there was no tampering unless it was in their own House! Jesse Watters should be fired for these threats!
And btw, for everyone on the right screaming about people on the left inciting political violence, here’s a big MAGA influencer publicly calling for us to bomb the United Nations.
Somebody with ZERO prosecutorial experience going against the recommendation of actual prosecutors all because Dear Leader wants to use the DOJ as a way to get back at his supposed political foes (ironic considering Comey helped him win in 2016) and it won't even be a 1 day story
Step 1: Start a dumbass trade war with China (and Brazil).
Step 2: Lose Chinese soybean market to Brazil.
Step 3: Bail out your nutty right wing buddy Javier Milei.
Step 4: Lose soybean market to Milei, too.
Steph 5: Make taxpayers pay for your stupidity.
