This is for posts that I care most about people seeing if they want to see posts from me in particular.

Instagram is especially annoying pooprietary software, so I don't want any of my things to be Instagram-exclusive. Initially, my strategy to mitigate incentives for viewing my Instagram account instead of my Lemmy account was just to not make Instagram-exclusive posts. Then I realized that this results in curation and reduced clutter that are both Instagram-exclusive, so now "dullbananas highlights" on Lemmy will be the exact same set of posts that's on Instagram.

And then they combine them into a sentence that is factually correct but misleading in the context that it is being used.

Like "Trump approached the minors with his penis". Oh, wait, bad example.

I think that Trump is too mush brained to be able to do things like this. It appears, to me, like he's being handled by 'his' staff so that they can control all of the big domestic issues.

You can see when he speaks on the topics he doesn't appear to actually be informed in a way that you would expect the President to be if he were central to decision making. It's like they've left him a few toys to play with, like foreign policy (which, as white nationalists, they do not care about ruining) and soliciting bribes for pardons/federal contracts while they try to implement white supremacist utopia.

The lead on this is Stephen Miller (the egg headed white supremacist official hiding in a military base). AG Pam Bondi and DHS Secretary Christie Noem (and their underlings, like Bovino) are the ones pushing his policy through the bureaucracy and running the operations.

Yeah the president is gone, the leave him alone with his enemy, like mamdami, or Petro of Colombia, guys the party has him publicly wanting to take down, and he's best pals with them after 20 minutes. It is kind of funny really.
