Trump rewriting the history of the January 6th insurrection

Trump DOJ scrubs entire Jan. 6 Capitol riot database from the web

The removal of the content comes just days after President Donald Trump pardoned anyone for “offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

Under the Biden administration, the web hub for the Washington, D.C. District Attorney’s Office housed a repository of more than 1,200 Capitol breach cases, which included PDFs of the case filings for each defendant. The office also periodically released data on new arrests and case resolutions, and information about how to provide tips to the FBI. 

As of Tuesday afternoon, this content was removed. The URL for the case database now leads to a “Page not found” placeholder.

Rep. Virginia Foxx, 81, Slips and Falls on First Day of New Congress

Foxx, 81, is the most recent elderly lawmaker to have hurt herself while on the job. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, was admitted to a hospital after sustaining a hip injury in Luxembourg. She required surgery and was seen without her signature stilettos when the House of Representatives reconvened Friday.

 Maybe we shouldn't be electing senior citizens to plan the future of the country.

If the US an have a minimum age for president they damn well can have a maximum age. I know it'll never happen because the US government is run by dinosaurs, but people can still dream.

Pelosi fell, McConnell fell, this lady fell, Kay Granger is locked in a memory care unit…

Congress is a nursing home/hospice

"During her time in office, Foxx was one of the 11 members of Congress to vote against the $51 billion aid package to victims of Hurricane Katrina. She also introduced the Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act in 2017.

She later voted against both articles of impeachment in 2019 for former President Donald Trump, with her also being one of the 147 Republican lawmakers who objected to the certification of electoral votes from the 2020 presidential election on January 6, 2021.

Foxx is an opponent of the Affordable Care Act, saying that "we have more to fear from the potential of the Affordable Health Care for America Act passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country." In 2022, Foxx voted against the Respect for Marriage Act to codify same-sex and interracial marriage rights federally."

Wow. Really a servant of the people, this one.  

Trump golf tour has begun

https://trumpgolftrack.com/

Trump visited a Trump Organization property on 428 (nearly one in three) of the 1,461 days of his first presidential term and is estimated to have played 261 rounds of golf, one every 5.6 days.

'I'm busy': Trump caught golfing after vowing not to

CNN's Betsy Klein noted that Trump was asked about the possibility of a Monday golf outing at Doral while on Air Force One on Saturday.

"No. I don't think so. I'm busy," the president stated.

Trump's recreational time on Monday came after spending much of his day golfing on Sunday.

If things are getting done in DC while he's out of the picture that they're saying are only getting done because of him being in office but not "in office", how much more efficient are they going to be with their radicalism if he has a stroke or passes in office and JD Vance doesn't own a mega resort to go waste time at?

Lying grifter continues history of lying and grifting.

Many people are saying... 

He's just the show pony in this presidency, Stephen Miller and Elon are running this s**t show

Hey guys cut him some slack, he held out almost 4 days and he only went Florida which only costs ::checks notes:: $210,000 an hour to the taxpayer. Fiscal conservatism is back!

Trump back to golfing after demanding federal workers return to office

Trump is golfing even though he told reporters aboard Air Force One over the weekend that he didn’t think he would have time to golf at his Doral course—where he is grifting off taxpayers to host a retreat for congressional Republicans to come up with a plan for how to pass his tax cuts for the rich.

“No. I don’t think so. I’m busy,” Trump told reporters who asked if he’d be golfing.

Trump's visit to one of his resorts to hit the links took place much earlier than his first disastrous term, when he waited until the first week of February to golf, according to The Washington Post, which tracked Trump's frequent golf outings.

Trump golfing instead of working comes after he issued a memorandum on Inauguration Day requiring that all federal employees return to the office five days a week.

He's not the one writing his policies. His Project 2025 goons are. Trump just applies the Sharpie. 

Trumps proposed tax cuts benefit only for the richest 5 percent

The idea that Democrats cause taxes is drilled so hard into the heads of the uneducated masses, that I highly doubt Trump will catch any flak for it.

A Constitutional amendment to allow Trump third term has been introduced in the House

 Rep. Ogles Proposes Amending the 22nd Amendment to Allow Trump to Serve a Third Term

It says you can’t run again if you already had two consecutive terms. They specifically made it to only be about Trump.

This motherfucker is 78. After this term he'll be 83 or dead. No way he makes it a third term. They should just concentrate on running the next historic embarrassment to the human race.

Look, lots of comments “it would never pass” and “not in his lifetime”

Who gives a shit. The fact they’re trying to pull this shit, do people not realize how fucked the GOP is to even attempt this. What’s the point of the constitution then?

House GOP measure would let Trump seek third term

A House Republican on Thursday introduced a proposed change to the Constitution that would allow President Trump to seek a third term in office.

Why it matters: The amendment has virtually no chance of becoming ratified but it is a marker of the depths of fealty the new president enjoys within the House GOP.

Republican House members have rushed to introduce bills that would codify Trump's vision for expanding the U.S. borders by acquiring Greenland and the Panama Canal, for instance.

The measure is an extreme long-shot: It would need a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress and be ratified by 38 states to be added to the Constitution.

The best part is the highly specific carve out to exclude Obama and Clinton by noting that the president must have served two non-consecutive terms. Give me a fucking break. You assholes are more transparent than truck stop toilet paper.

Worked for Putin when he cycled through Medvedev. 

The fucks aren't even trying to be subtle, because they know 90% of people aren't paying attention.

This is literally out of Russia's playbook. All that needs to happen now is to claim 97% of the vote in favor of Trump.

This is it. Lock the thread.

South African Apartheid Immigrant Nazi Salute

Elon Musk accused of giving ‘Nazi salute’ at Trump inauguration celebration

Tesla CEO and “first buddy” Elon Musk was hit with a wave of immediate outrage online and on cable news after he made a salute that many felt was fascist during his speech at the Capitol One Arena on Monday to celebrate President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

While getting extremely excited about the prospect of landing a man on Mars and planting an American flag, the X (formerly Twitter) owner pounded his chest and shot his right arm in an angular motion toward the sky, saying he felt it in his “heart.” He also turned his back to the audience and repeated the gesture towards the American flag hanging over the stage.

Holy fuck he actually did it. There is zero ambiguity there. No one is exaggerating. He deliberately did a Nazi salute twice.

That was a straight up Nazi salute right off an old news reel.

Not even four hours in President Musk already giving the Nazi salute. 

Just to clarify for people who are not aware.

This WAS NOT "Sieg Heil" or similar. This was literally "Heil Hitler" Salute.

It is also a forbidden salute in several countries, especially in Germany.

In the video he also did the arm on chest thump before he went for the "Heil Hitler". Which is clear that this was the intentional meaning of it from start to end. In full video he did it twice

For anyone claiming this was the "Roman salute", I guess there were many Romans and Centurions in the audience he greeted. Roman salute never existed. No contemporary source of the romans mention or show it, it is something from 1700.

Elon Musk Sure Isn’t Denying That His Inaugural Gesture Was a Nazi Salute

If a person did not mean to make a Nazi salute, but made something that looked just like a Nazi salute in front of a giant crowd and a worldwide television audience, a logical first step to clarifying the situation might be denying that that gesture was a Nazi salute. Elon Musk has not done that. Instead, he called the characterizations of a certain Sieg Heil-flavored gesture he made multiple times at the bizarre indoor “inaugural parade” for newly sworn-in Felon-in-Chief Donald Trump Monday afternoon “sooo tired.” He included a snoozy emoji too, in case those extra o’s weren’t doing it.

It was a Nazi salute, and it comes as no surprise to anyone who has studied Musk. Seth Abramson in his essay The Truth About Musk, From His Biographer dispels the flattering, everchanging, myth Elon Musk carefully tends and shamelessly peddles on his Twitter/X. Here's an excerpt detailing the Musks' white supremacist activities:

A significant amount of the Musk fortune Elon enjoyed growing up, and which his dad used to support him in Canada and America-and this will explain why Elon for years lied about his father’s support, even to the point of falsely implying he had written his father out of his life entirely-came from illegal apartheid-era mines in Zambia that exploited their Black workers but made the Musks fantastically wealthy.

The Musk Family refused to pay taxes on these mines or reveal their interest in them for a reason that makes sense if you know that the Musks comes from generations of white supremacists and some of them-e.g., Elon Musk’s grandparents-were even open Nazi sympathizers. 

 

Trump rises drug cost for millions of Americans

NEW: Donald Trump Rolls Back Biden-Harris Rule to Lower Drug Costs for Millions of Americans

In response to Donald Trump rolling back Biden-Harris administration efforts to lower drug costs for Americans, DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement:

“Donald Trump is already following through on his dangerous plans to jack up the costs of drugs to appease his billionaire backers after the Biden-Haris administration took on Big Pharma and won. Trump is again proving that he lied to the American people and doesn’t care about lowering costs – only what’s best for himself and his ultra-rich friends.”

The prices Americans pay for medication is beyond wild to the entire western world...prior to this, take a humble epipen for example. $600USD for one, vs two for $38AUD ($23USD). Inhumane, greedy savages...

It’s been less than 24 hrs and he’s already waging a full on war against the public. 

So he raised inflation first day in office. Got it.

Already making your lives more expensive. Congratulations.

No defense for this one. Zero. None.

It's been one day and he's pardoned people who beat up cops and directly made necessary drugs MORE expensive

Republican terrorism about California fires

 Mike Johnson Vows to Hold Aid to California Hostage After Deadly Fires

Republican leadership continues to use one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history as political leverage.

On Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson told CNN’s Manu Raju that there should be “conditions” on the proposed federal aid to California in the wake of the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles County.

So...what they literally accused dems of doing to Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia.

It's a step ahead of that. They screech these lies to make their followers believe that it's justified when they plan on doing it. You see it when Right Wingers start saying things like, "We need to do this because the Dems already do it!"

Election theft. Impeachment. Criminal trials. Federal disaster aid. They cry foul every time and then do whatever they want because they justified it "when the Dems did it first"

So California will be getting more help, unconditionally, from Mexico and Canada than from our own government. 

California should withhold their tax draws until they are whole and see how the republican states like that. For all their ramblings they don't seem to mind taking and spending liberal money.

Every single American that supports this is a traitor to their nation in the purest sense.

Elon Musk Exposed Over Right-Wing Lie on L.A. Fires

Elon Musk was fact-checked on his own livestream after making false statements about the California wildfires, and Gavin Newsom was quick to call out the tech mogul on social media.

In a post on X Sunday night, the California governor posted an excerpt from the livestream, where Musk was receiving a briefing with the command team handling the Palisades fire in Los Angeles. Musk asked an emergency official twice about water to fight the fires being available in the Malibu area but not in the Palisades.

"Exposed". He has no soul. No effect on him... Or more sadly, those that consume his products. The number of Teslas in the Pacific Palisades fire area is large. Yet... voters don't vote with their wallets.

Elon Musk exploits the suffering of others in shameless attempts to manipulate popular opinion to his advantage.

Remember the 2018 Thai cave rescue of 12 boys and their football coach? In that instance, Musk falsely accused professional cave diver Vern Unsworth of being a pedophile after Unsworth accurately referred to Musk's offer to provide a "mini-sub" a public relations stunt. Unsworth, not Musk, proved essential in rescuing the trapped children and their coach.

In the essay The Truth About Musk, From His Biographer, Seth Abramson dispels the flattering, everchanging, myth Elon Musk carefully tends and shamelessly peddles on Twitter/X. Here's a relevant excerpt addressing Musk's inability to tell the truth:

This may be the right moment to note that, as a Musk biographer, I can’t find a single component of the man’s biography he hasn’t lied about. And not just lied about—lied ruthlessly about. Shamelessly. For decades. Without any integrity or fidelity to truth at all. And every lie has the same purpose: to hide what a deceitful, fundamentally bad person he is.

The Truth About Musk, From His Biographer

Legal Bribery

Trump Admin Gave Tariff Exemptions to Companies that Donated to Republicans: Study

US firms may be looking at a specific method by which they can avoid the impact of tariffs levied on major trade partners by the Trump administration: donating to the Republican Party.

With President-elect Donald Trump set to assume office this month, many local companies are preparing themselves for the impact of the 47th president's tariff plan, in which he has promised to levy 25% tariffs on all goods sold to the US from certain countries including Canada and China, and Mexico.

Pay to play. America is entering the next level of corruption.

And I’m sure those companies will still raise prices publicly to “offset the costs of the tariffs” they aren’t paying.

It's the goal. Raise prices to match others and make a profit; pure capitalism.

Need to lower prices? Knowing republicans we will see a push for more "prison labor" aka slaves.

How to get more prisoners? Gather the immigrants knowing they will need to be kept somewhere.

Republicans voted in a president who doesn't support the constitution , thinks a president is immune to the law, and is a sexual predator who props up other sexual predators. There is no low for these people. 

People overlook the rampant "prisoner leasing" occurring nationwide because they're criminals, and even minor crimes in America are enough that the public doesn't care how people are abused in prison & coerced to work with the state taking wages, imposing fees, and threatened with extended sentences for missing work. Alabama got 73% of it's revenue from convict leasing in the 1800s. In past five years, more than 500 businesses have leased incarcerated workers from Alabama, including Best Western, Bama Budweiser, and Burger King. The state has generated more than $250 million from this labor since 2000.

 If people are okay with the slavery forced on incarcerated Americans, they certainly won't have any problems ignoring enslavement of non-Americans in prison. Well, not unless wages were even more depressed by companies easy access to plentiful slaves.

This is Trump’s grift. He doesn’t have to offer anything good to get things in return. He just announces terrible plans, and then exempts people from the effects of those plans if they pay up.

First lady Trump complains about President Musk

Trump Privately Complains About Clingy Elon Musk:

“Trump does complain a bit to people about how Musk is around a lot,” New York Times journalist and “Trump whisperer” Maggie Haberman told tech reporter Kara Swisher during the latest episode of Swisher’s podcast, On.

The end of their friendship is going to be spectacular. 

You just know Elon is going to go scorched earth if their friendship ends.

Elon is pissing off governments around the world...

And Elon has a big fat juicy target for those countries... Tesla.

A 100 % tax on Tesla sales, springing up across the world everywhere, should tank Elon's wealth pretty quickly.

Not to mention how overinflated Tesla's stock is. Once it starts to drop it could drop like a rock. One car company isn't worth all the others combined. That is just ridiculous.

Not strong enough of a man to send him packing, though.

Act then, Donnie. You know, like a MAN. Fire that immigrant husband of yours. Show that you can't be manipulated by the likes of Elon. Bonus - it'll keep everyone else on their toes, and that's what you want too, right?
