Texas Republicans blame Democrats for their failing state, the GoP has had total control there for 30 years and people still vote for them...
I have watched a long time American political venue and I am just fed up with it.
Texas Republicans blame Democrats for their failing state, the GoP has had total control there for 30 years and people still vote for them...
To the inevitable response from MAGA that Obama gave 'pallets' of cash...he released frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile the current Iran conflict has directly cost $38 billion militarily and a currently projected $87 billion in extra gas and diesel expenses. Not to mention that the strategic oil reserves have been depleted to the point that experts warn that the caverns they're stored in could collapse.
And Trump threw all that away, not because he really thought it was a bad deal, but just out of pure spite due to his hatred and envy of Obama.
And IAEA inspectors could randomly check nuclear facilties and "suspicious sites". That JCPOA has never looked so good. And Obama received nothing but relentless hate from the Right and the Israel Lobby for getting that deal. Iran will never agree to those kinds of terms ever again.
The republican party pretends to be fiscal conservatives, but only when a democrat is in office.
Trump is a veritable black hole of waste fraud abuse greed and incompetence.
Remember the republicans going bat 💩 crazy after Obama remodeled to put a basketball court in. They even lied saying he spent $376 million doing it. In fact audits showed he spent a couple of thousand out of his own pocket. Not a penny of tax payer $’s.
The man/admin that increased the national debt by what.. 43%?
60 whatever cases.. all lost.. their own investigations find nothing. Trump on audio saying he wants them to find votes. And MAGA is actually brainwashed into thinking the election was stolen from Trump. I can't even imagine the level of willful ignorance to make this claim.
Trump willing to end Iran war without nuclear deal – WSJ
WASHINGTON—For weeks, President Trump had been laying the groundwork to declare victory in the Iran war should Tehran fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even floating the idea privately to senior aides that he’s willing to walk away without a nuclear deal, U.S. officials said.
So it was all for..........nothing.
The main bargaining item now is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which was already open before all of this.
Arguably worse. It would legitimise a nuclear program.
And Iran gets to toll the straight. And US international reputation is (even further) destroyed. And US spent tens of billions worth of munitions.
So, the very thing the nuclear pact that Obama had Kerry work 3-4 solid years on achieving, which measured and prevented nuclear weapons from occurring, that Donald shredded his first year in office his first term?
What a brilliant waste of trillions of U.S. tax dollars, oh and countless expired human lives in vain, conservatives!
However, because of this war, Iran knows it has its own porcupine tool even without nukes. Closing Hormuz was largely hypothetical. They saw it as a card they could play, but the US has long been unchallenged for its ability to force open international waterways militarily in a lopsided manner. Now Iran knows it can play that card successfully whenever it wants and that accomplishes a lot of the same things as a nuclear weapon would in terms of putting off anyone who might want to militarily force a regime change. Any future US president will weigh the option of tolerating some level of IRGC bullshit versus gambling the loss of their seat of power because the voters hate what happens next.
White House admits it scrapped grants to blue states because they didn’t vote for Trump
During last fall’s government shutdown, the Trump administration started cutting energy grants to states, but the only states that were seriously affected were ones Donald Trump lost in the 2024 election.
We’re talking about a White House that admits it withholds federal resources from states based on local voters casting ballots in ways the president doesn’t like. Not to put too fine a point on this, but that sounds an awful lot like an impeachable offense. It’s a fundamental corruption of how federal tax dollars are allocated.
So, not the presidential administration for the ENTIRE United States. Got it. We’ll just have to deal with this domestic enemy, best we can.
Reminder that the Secretary of Energy stood in front of Congress last month and testified that "no decisions were made on politics" regarding the grant cancellations. Now his department tells a judge that yep they did just that.
It shouldn't even matter because it shouldn't be a partisan issue, but it's crazy that this admin never seems to understand or care that "blue" states like California can still have more Republican voters than most "red" states.
The Trump administration knows that the Republican voters in California will blame the Democrat voters in California for the cancellation of the grants to California. The Heritage Foundation wants to anger the Republican voters in the hopes that they will then be more willing to accept the murder of American citizens who don't support the Trump Administration.
This is an excellent justification for impeachment, possibly the best justification. It would bring this Administration's illegality into the spotlight while also forcing Republicans to make a decision: Either impeach/convict for these obviously partisan actions, or indirectly approve a Democratic Administration in performing the same stunts
The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
Taylor Farms, the agricultural company widely believed responsible for a cyclospora parasite outbreak currently spreading through shredded lettuce in US grocery stores and fast food outlets, has also been linked to modern-day forced prison labor in Arizona, according to resurfaced 2023 reporting from Prison Legal News. The publication found that Taylor Farms contracted labor from the Arizona Department of Correction, Rehabilitation, and Reentry for just $4.75 an hour, far below federal minimum wage, though the incarcerated workers themselves were reportedly paid only up to $1.50 an hour, with the state’s for-profit arm, Arizona Correctional Industries, pocketing the difference by selling prisoner labor-hours to private companies.
Taylor Farms is far from alone in this arrangement, as other companies including Hickman’s Egg Farms, NatureSweet, and Televerde have similarly contracted incarcerated labor through the same state program.
Most troubling, Prison Legal News found that at least 26 prisoners employed by these companies had previously been detained by ICE, meaning their labor arrangement would have been illegal outside of incarceration, since their status as prisoners was the only thing that legally permitted the low-wage work. Arizona’s DCRR told the publication it had hired out 15,700 “Mexican nationals” between 2008 and 2023 but could not say how many were undocumented immigrants, prompting American Immigration Lawyers Association director Ruben Reyes to say, “I’m venturing a guess that a large majority of the people who are labeled a Mexican national by [DCRR] are unauthorized to work here.”
The revelations tie back to a constitutional loophole in the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery “except as a punishment for crime,” a carve-out that has allowed prison labor to persist as a major industry, generating $11 billion worth of goods in 2022 alone. Taylor Farms did not respond to a request for comment on either the labor allegations or the ongoing cyclospora outbreak.
The exploitation angle here is particularly damning because it reveals a legal architecture specifically designed to profit off a workforce that has no real bargaining power or ability to walk away, workers who couldn’t legally be employed in these same roles if they weren’t incarcerated. Combined with the cyclospora outbreak, this story paints a picture of a supply chain built on cutting corners at every level, from underpaying and exploiting vulnerable labor to apparently inadequate food safety practices that are now sickening consumers nationwide.

Data Finds Republicans are Obsessed with Searching for Transgender Porn
https://lawsuit.org/general-law/republicans-have-an-obsession-with-transgender-pornography/
They don’t think a president, who earned $2.2 billion in one year (a lot of it via crypto) is problematic. Trump was known prior to his first presidency to have net worth around $1-2 billion. He earned that much in 2025. It’s also reported that the Middle East bought the same crypto when trump was selling. DOI said trump family cannot be audited like typical POTUS. So geez, let’s connect the dots here
So many of his base are Christians and yet they'll excuse Trump making over 1 million dollars from peddling a sacrilegious Bible that he's defaced with his name and autograph. The cherry on top of it all is that these Trump Bibles are made in China for <$3 and sold for $60 ($1000 for the autographed version).
Trump Made 327 Stock Trades 1 Day Before Tariff Pause: Filings
President Donald Trump is back in Washington after his inaugural flight on board the controversial new Air Force One that was gifted by the government of Qatar. It comes as an NBC News review of the president’s 900-plus financial disclosure revealed more than 300 stock trades made just a day before his administration paused several key tariffs. NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez reports for TODAY.
Trump’s income topped $2 billion in 2025, boosted by crypto, coin ventures

If you’re Donald Trump, the answer is $1,514,521. So far.
Republicans Freak Out as Trump Hoards Cash Meant for Midterm Campaigns
MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC, hasn’t spent directly on a race since March, when it spent $17,900 to back Georgia Representative Clay Fuller’s campaign. Since then, MAGA Inc. has only given $560,000 to MAGA KY, which used it to back Ed Gallrein’s challenge against Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie.
Trump discloses 21,000 securities trades during first year in office
Joe Biden made a total of 13 stock trades during his entire tenure as president.
MAGA would've said that the 13 trades Biden was corruption and insider trading....now they're silent and paying more because of tariffs and this war 🤡 don't forget that Kamala would send people's kids to war as well.
Trump made $2.2 billion in his first year back in office. There were serious questions about whether he had a net worth of even $1 billion when he entered office in 2017. This is just staggering corruption. And they were up in arms that Biden’s coke head son was profiting off of the family name.
Nearly a Million Investors Lost a Total of $3.8 Billion on Trump Crypto Coin
Nearly 1 million people who bought President Trump’s memecoin have lost money through the end of June, according to a report by the cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen. Their losses total $3.81 billion.
An infamous grifter who has cheated literally everyone he has ever done business with rug-pulled his own meme coin to the detriment of thousands of people who trusted him to not cheat them?
I am shocked. Shocked I tell you. Who could have possibly predicted such a completely predictable turn of events?
And yet these people learn NOTHING:
The stupid people did.
But the rich who bought in was clearly a bribe for Trump.
Indeed. Majority of these were bribes.
Was it $500 million from UAE, after which the Trump administration gave them access to previously restricted US chipsets?
Yep this is 100% accurate. Plenty of stupid people lost money but for others it was a way to bribe Trump:

Trump Says 'No Women In The Crowd, Which Is Nice' At Rally — And That's Just the Beginning
During a speech Tuesday in Macungie, Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump rejoiced over the White House’s UFC Freedom 250 event — and also because, apparently, women there were few and far between.
More concerning is why is a president that can’t run again having rallies? This is the exact path that lead to J6.
And the tradwives will still vote for this guy.
They love being told they're a lesser human.
They’ve been taught since childhood that their purpose is to be a wife and mother. Which is an aspiration for many girls, which is fine..
However, in the case of being a wife, they’re to submit to their husbands. If they vote, they are to vote as their husband says.
So a lot of them see voting as sort of useless for them personally. However for Republicans and their husbands, they WANT them to vote…
Because they know liberal women will and it’s just another ballot in the box to victory.
So if they make women unable to vote collectively, they’re fine with it then.
Ironically they need the votes of their wives to strip the votes of their wives.
Meanwhile Trump and the Supreme Court has been stripping women of rights over their own bodies. And has frequently insulted female reporters and acted oppressively over them for decades.
Even better that was his military high school uniform that he was sent to for behavioral problems. Everything out of his mouth is a lie. Including both their ages from my understanding. Donny was sent to military school bc of his abominable behavior and failing grades. he was a bully, kept beating kids up. he did more of the same in military school and paid kids to do his homework and take his tests. he did the same at the Wharton school.
He was never socially popular, well liked, a good student, or an asset to anything.
At 18, Barry was a member of student government and leading social initiative groups. He attended an elite college prep academy for middle and high school and his grades were reportedly above average (Bs).
AND Trump received a draft deferment for bone spurs based on a doctor’s letter from a physician who reportedly rented office space from his father. That’s a fact people shouldn’t forget.
Trump Appears To Sleep While Guests Propose Ending Divide Between Church And State
A group of conservatives visited the Oval Office on Friday and announced they want to remove a key safeguard for religious freedom in America ― the separation of church and state.
The real story isn't that Trump fell asleep in a meeting again. The real story is that Trump is meeting with a group of people who want to end separation of church and state and forceably impose their warped and perverted version of religion on everybody else.
Religion is a mental illness. We need to stop letting people with magical thinking influence policy. Period.
Honestly the problem is that this mental disease causes them to try and impose their religious beliefs and morals on everyone else. It's like the fungus that mind-controls ants, with the endgame of infecting more ants.
Religion needs to be treated like a penis.
Keep that shit private, away from children, and don't try to jam it down anyone's throat without consent.
Christians are pushing their version of Sharia Law. Look what Texas just did.
Oh I see, now the grifter's marching orders is to bitch about fucking presidential libraries. Cool cool. Now what about Iran and The Epstein files. Hell I don't even want to hear about the fucking reflecting pool anymore.
The both-sides argument is just bias. They are not equal, it’s not even close so they have to constantly lie, distract or frame things inaccurately and with negative intent. The leaders and influencers know they are lying, admit it and defend that when they can’t deny it, and they know it’s rotting people’s minds and character.
They know their followers will accept it and repeat it without verifying it with expert testimony because they lied and made them fear and reject academia. They know they won’t hear the other sides arguments because they lied and made them think anyone who disagrees must be ‘corrupted’, ‘silly’, ‘woke’, ‘has TDS’ or some other buzzword. They know when faced with sound reasoning their followers will pridefully scoff, mock, deny and deflect and make themselves look foolish trying to defend it, and told them all this poison was ‘winning’. It’s not, and they don’t care. They are just corrupt liars and ravenous wolves.
All you need to know about both sides is, it's never used to defend a Democrat. You would think people would have noticed that by now.
They like to deflect when they do something. When it the truth. Its also fake news.
WASHINGTON — During today’s House Appropriations Committee markup of the 2027 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies funding bill, Democrats fought against Republicans’ extreme bill that puts health coverage for millions of Americans at risk, eviscerates public education and job training, and eliminates funding for reproductive health.
This bill:
- Puts health care coverage for millions of Americans in jeopardy by cancelling $2 billion for operating Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance plans, threatening the ACA health insurance Marketplace.
- Reduces economic opportunities for working families by eliminating Youth and Adult Job Training programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, and cuts funding for the Job Corps in half.
- Kicks 30,000 teachers out of classrooms by cutting Title I grants by $2 billion, reducing the quality of education our children receive.
- Abandons college students and low-income workers trying to improve their lives through postsecondary education by increasing interest rates for 4 million college student borrowers, cutting funding for need-based financial aid, and eliminating job training programs.
- Decimates support for children in K-12 elementary schools by slashing funding for low-income students, eliminating funding for teacher training, and eliminating funding for community schools.
- Slashes research for maternal health, telehealth, and patient safety in hospitals and health clinics by eliminating funding for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and terminating nearly $1 billion from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund (PCORTF).
- Harms women’s health by cutting programs that support maternal and child health, eliminating programs that provide access to contraception and health services, and adding numerous partisan and poison pill riders related to abortion and reproductive health.
- Surrenders to ongoing health crises by making major cuts to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program and reducing funding for mental health services and substance use prevention and treatment.
It’s crazy how these “fiscal conservatives” cut so much from programs that help people, but still rack up historic deficits.
Republicans care about billionaires and pedophiles and the Venn diagram of the two is basically a circle. Fuck every republican and every fuck-wit voting for them.
Think of the good we could do with $300 billion dollars.
The Kochs and other “libertarian” billionaires, who funded the religious right in return for tax cuts, global warming denial and deregulation, don’t believe in “government handouts”.
Gentle reminder that conservatism is a form of social dominance orientation, it's a measure of an individual's support for social hierarchy and the extent to which they desire their in-group be superior to out-groups.
All conservative policies, no exceptions, are expressions that one group should be socially dominant over another group. The reason why it's only the conservatives trying to ban gay marriage and ban adults from taking hormones is because only conservatives actively want straight dominance over LGBT+ people. The reason why it's only conservatives trying to ban abortion is because only conservatives actively want men to dominate women.
So when a conservative sees Trump spending the money they say liberals can't spend, it legitimately makes them feel good, because they don't have real political beliefs, only immediate emotional reactions. Trump's spending on government renovations seems good to conservatives because it proves conservatives can dominate liberals.
Trump's spending on useless wars and handouts seems good to conservatives because it proves conservatives can dominate liberals.
And liberals' spending is inherently evil no matter what it's spent on, because liberals spending money is a reminder that the liberals are in charge, and there is nothing the liberals could ever do that would make the conservatives be okay with not being in charge.
And that is why conservatives have bitched and complained about every single good thing that has ever been built in this country, unless by some miracle it was one of their people in charge: because they don't have actual beliefs, only a constant need for dominance.
Donald Trump's Iran war timeline changes to another 2 weeks as public anger grows
President Trump, speaking on a tele-rally, says the United States can expect "total victory" over Iran in another two weeks.
"You're really going to win it over the next two weeks when we declare total victory. It will be a total victory and it will happen very soon," Trump assured.
Trump has already claimed victory over Iran at least 12 times.
Trump has previously promised Americans a “full and complete healthcare plan” within two weeks, which was in 2020, and never materialized.
We've heard "in two weeks" since 2015. His fucking tax returns, his replacement to ACA, Mexico paying for a wall...
2 Weeks is how long it takes to people to lose attention/forget and wash the story from the news cycle. Thats what he's doing whenever he says that.
When ever he says something outrageous and back-peddles it as a joke, he's not joking, he is testing the waters to see the public reaction.
It’s going to be “another 2 weeks” until November when democrats take control of one of the chambers. Then it’ll be the democrats fault for getting us into Iran when it was a GOP Congress and his base will eat it up without questioning it for a second. This stuff is entirely predictable at this point.
Trump, 79, Storms Off From Sit-Down After Melting Down at Reporter
The president, 79, furiously stormed off an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press after journalist Kristen Welker confronted him on his election conspiracies.
Trump began to sour on Welker after she pointed out in the interview that aired Sunday that there’s “no evidence” of rigged elections in the United States.
“Do you have evidence?” she asked after Trump slammed California’s elections as “rigged.
”The president then fired back: “All I have to do is look.”
When Welker replied: “That’s not evidence,” the interview took a turn.
That’s the way to handle his bullshit.
He’s such a thin-skinned loser he IMMEDIATELY resorts to personal attacks and when those don’t work he flees like a coward.
Remember when Conservatives said Hillary and women would be too emotional to become President and unable to handle the rigorous demands of the job?
He’s probably also triggered that she’s doing it, she’s a woman, and brown.
He’s probably seething about this behind clothes doors.
Sad, pathetic display. He can't stand a woman stading her ground. Makes him act like toddler
The courage and composure that reporter showed was exceptional. It's nice to see someone who takes their journalistic responsibilities seriously.
This is what happens to all of them when you press for details on their outrageous claims.
If Obama, Biden, or Clinton had done this, the GOP would be blasting it from the rooftops till the end of time.
My god, he is so emotional.
When Will Americans Realize the Truth? Republicans Wreck the Economy.
"The reason is that Republicans peddle an economic fairy tale. That cutting taxes increases revenue and spurs tremendous economic activity. It’s a lie. A fantasy. They wreck the economy. The modern United States has experienced 11 recessions. Ten have happened under Republican presidents."
Economic data has been available to prove this. They simply don’t care, don’t understand, or both.
They don't care enough to even try and understand. There's a reason conservatives prioritize god, guns, and glory and not education, health, and solidarity.
If you give individuals a scapegoat like religion they can live their lives as aimless as they want and it's never their fault, it's God's will.
It's also not a coincidence that the same type of magical thinking fostered by religious zealotry is needed to believe Republicans or tax cuts are good for the economy against massive amounts of evidence to the contrary.
Some people can see with their own eyes that the economy is demonstrably worse under Republicans, in real time, and still refuse to believe it. If they couldn't acknowledge it for the past 50 years, they never will.
Fixing an economy takes time. So generally it goes like this -
Repeat.
House Votes to Rein In Trump on Iran War, in a Bipartisan Rebuke
A measure to direct an end to U.S. engagement in Iran was adopted with a handful of Republicans in support, sending a signal of opposition to the president’s handling of the war.
Four. It's even shorter than handful. They could simply have said 'Four Republicans'. 1.84% of republicans voted to end the war.
Bipartisan!? Nah, every democrat and FOUR republicans. This is the same bullshit they keep doing. Republican majority votes against something then takes credit for it when it’s popular. Sure, I’m glad four of them grew some semblance of a spine but to call this bipartisan is a deliberate attempt to take a deserved victory away from democrats.
This just weakens Trump's hand further. Iran will know that the longer they drag this on, the more unpopular the war becomes in the US, and the weaker Trump's negotiating position is in.
Trump will never get a deal as good as what Obama got. Obama got a 160 page deal, with details on what Iran had to follow, and UN inspections agents on the ground in Iran to verify the deal was working. Trump would be lucky to get 1/3 of the deal Obama got.
We need to publish the names of the DOJ attorneys unethically doing Trump’s bidding.
The thing is…Donald Trump has already been fined millions time and again for harassing her. She could make the argument to judge /jury that Trump is using his office to continue to harass her. And since that office includes DOJ…she should sue him for weapons government against her. Make a big number, one that would make Fox’s settlement a joke! But it shouldn’t end there…weaponizing DOJ against a citizen for personal gain is a no-brainer for impeachment.
The problem is... he doesn't care. He's personally profited so much off being president, that it's worth it just to torment her, over and over and over again.
Not to mention all of his legal fees are paid by taxpayers.
It's essentially torturing somebody out of spite, or just for the hell of it, and it costs a pittance at best.
No, he doesn't care. But he does care that she's not afraid of him. He's a bully and any time someone stands up to a bully, it enrages them because it destroys the fragile idea they have in their head that they're better than anyone or more powerful or intimidating.
How exactly could Biden do that when he wasn't president yet?
You were the President on 1/6 you fucking idiot.
How can it be Biden's FBI when YOU WERE THE PRESIDENT.
Good Christ, you people are stupid.
Not only that, but according to the Cult of Trump, Biden was never really made the president and it was still Trump the whole time. So anything positive that happened under Biden is still Trump's doing. The negative stuff was all Joe, though.
The most pathetic part is his supporters won’t even question this. They’d totally echo this sentiment. We’re watching a horrific combination of dementia and cult- mentality put together with destructive results.
Why'd you pardon all those people doing Biden's bidding then? That seems like an objectively dumb thing to do.
Nancy Pelosi traded $5 million in stocks and Congress lost its mind.
Trump literally executed $750 MILLION worth of stock trades in ONE quarter while being President.
His ethics filing just dropped and the numbers are genuinely unprecedented in history:
Between January and March 2026, Donald Trump personally executed 3,700 individual stock transactions worth between $220 million and $750 million.
That's roughly 60 trades PER DAY.
While signing executive orders, meeting foreign leaders, and making policy decisions that directly impact the companies he's buying and selling.
Now here's where it gets really insane:
On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock.
Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell."
Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99.
Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%.
And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history.
So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high
And that's just ONE stock...
The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta.
He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia.
He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise."
Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date.
He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense.
He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker.
He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions.
Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't.
His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades.
The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed."
But here's what independently managed looks like:
Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high.
Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips.
Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake.
Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform.
Nancy Pelosi got absolutely destroyed for her husband's stock trades.
Her husband's total disclosed trades in his most controversial year were worth roughly $5 million.
Trump just disclosed up to $750 MILLION in a single quarter.
While making the actual policy decisions that move these stocks.
This isn't a left or right issue.
We're talking about the President of the United States averaging 60 stock trades per day in companies his own administration regulates, contracts with, and publicly endorses.
The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday accused US President Donald Trump of “orchestrating a $1,700,000,000 fraud on the American taxpayer to line the pockets of his MAGA political allies” amid new reporting on the terms Trump is seeking in talks to settle his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service.
Trump's lawyers. Including (perhaps especially) Acting AG Blanche have lined up this $1.7 billion payout and no one will have say. Scream for hearings to your Congressperson people. This is the worst graft in history, and we're paying!
Also worth noting the “crime” occurred under president (checks notes) Trump. So his administration does a thing, then he sues his administration and then his lawyers and his administration settle for nearly $2 billion.
He’s basically suing himself with taxpayer money and calling it justice. The whole thing is a shell game, his administration creates the mess, his lawyers file the fix and the public gets stuck with the bill.
And that bill is about $6.36 per everyone 18 or over in the US, most of whom are paying taxes. Sure that's not a huge amount, but nonetheless, Trump still is essentially forcing every American that earned any money or paid taxes to give him an average of about $6 .
If it'd have been the original $10 billion, it would've been nearly $40 he was taking.
Not just that, when he drops the suit, they cannot investigate him, his businesses, his family or their businesses.

In the scheme of things, Trump's phone grift doesn't even make the top 10.
If he was only doing this to his supporters that is just deserts. But Trump is running America like a Fyre Festival every day. and if it was just embarrassing like on the level of Berlusconi or Boris Johnson, that wouldn't be great but Trump is like the distraction for multiple heists happening all at the same time while covering up his role in crimes that should have brought the entire republican party down. Trump is evidence that the conservative media environment means they can literally get away with anything because their voters will let them and continue to give them political legitimacy.
Billionaires bought the media, and the public power companies, and the public airwaves, and merged and undercut all the competitive local stores. You're welcome! That is, if you found yourself on the right side of the K-shaped economy, things have never been better. All time highs.

All of the US state media is running selected highly truncated clips of Trump speaking so it doesn't seem at all like this the US is functionally a Weekend At Donnie's situation, with a lot of deadbolts on WH doors to keep the president from wandering down Pennsylvania avenue or getting up on the roof again.
For any other president, this would end their career. For this administration, it’s just Tuesday.
Trump says it’s ‘treasonous’ to say US not winning war in Iran
Donald Trump told a Florida crowd that it is “treasonous” to say the US is not winning the war in Iran.
The US president was speaking at The Villages in Florida, the world’s largest retirement community, when he made the remark.
Trump came to tout supposedly fulfilling his 2024 campaign promise to remove taxes on Social Security.
It came after the president told Congress that the war in Iran had already ended, despite his earlier issuing a fresh threat to Tehran.
By the way he's running the same play again, Russia is no longer on-board since Iran/Ukraine so he took out Venezuela and Iran which also spilled onto the rest of the Middle East production, and once again, Chevron, Exxon, etc., are at record highs.
This again huh?
Whether you were disappointed with the late Mueller's investigation or not, let's lay down some facts that address MAGA's whole bad faith obsession with calling it the "Russia hoax."
First, The Russia investigation was not a "hoax." There's no evidence that Obama, James Comey, or any public figure committed "treason" or orchestrated some plot against Trump, these allegations contradict years of Intel/findings and are purely politically motivated.
And remember that the FBI publicly announced its investigation into Clinton right before the election while keeping the Russia investigation under wraps. If the Democrats and FBI conspired together against Trump, wouldn't it have been the other way around? Chew on that for a bit MAGA.
With that said:
Trump has been downplaying the severity and threat of Russian cyber attacks and election meddling for years, siding with Putin over our own intelligence agencies on the matter.
Trump capitalized off of Russia's meddling in the election. The Mueller report said Trump's campaign "expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts"
A report earlier last year indicated that Pete Hegseth might order US Cyber Command to halt offensive cyber and information operations against Russia.
Trump fired the head of the NSA and US Cyber Command, Timothy Haugh. Haugh was a non-partisan appointee who played an outsized role in overseeing US cyber defense, particularly against Russian threats.
Trump actually once suggested that the US partner with Russia on a cyber security task force. It received swift, bipartisan backlash from lawmakers who had to remind Trump that Russia continues to be one of the US's most dangerous cyber security threats.
To this list we can also add the Republican party's failure to address foreign election interference because they have benefitted politically from this election meddling for the last several elections.
At a Senate hearing, Trump’s pick for Federal Reserve chair, Kevin Warsh, was asked a very direct question:
Do you have investments tied to Jeffrey Epstein?
He refused to answer.
Not “no”
Not “absolutely not”
Not even a clarification
Just: I will sell the assets if confirmed
That is it
According to reporting, Warsh has over $100 million in undisclosed investments that have not been fully explained to the public or even to ethics officials.
When pressed, Senator Elizabeth Warren specifically asked whether those investments could include:
• Trump affiliated entities
• money laundering vehicles
• Chinese controlled companies
• or financial structures tied to Epstein
He still would not answer.
And this is not coming out of nowhere.
Warsh’s name has appeared in Epstein related documents before. That does not prove wrongdoing. But it does show how tightly connected elite financial and social circles can be.
Now zoom out for a second.
A man with massive undisclosed wealth
Being considered for one of the most powerful financial roles on the planet
Refuses to answer whether any of that wealth is tied to Epstein linked financial vehicles
And the response is basically:
Trust me, I will deal with it later
This is the Federal Reserve. The institution that influences interest rates, markets, housing, jobs, and the financial lives of millions of people.
And we are supposed to be comfortable with that level of opacity?
Because here is the pattern that keeps showing up:
Connections surface
Names appear in documents
Questions get asked
Answers never fully come
And somehow it always stops just short of real transparency
At the same time, markets are swinging hard on geopolitical headlines, massive trades appear perfectly timed, and the biggest players always seem positioned ahead of major moves.
Maybe that is just how modern finance works.
Or maybe it is a system where access, information, and networks matter more than anything else.
Either way, the gap between what the public is told and what actually happens keeps getting wider.
At some point this stops feeling like coincidence
It starts feeling like a closed system
So the real question is simple:
Why is it still so hard to get a direct answer when Epstein connected financial ties come up
And who benefits from that silence
What do you think is still being hidden
He’s probably one of the predators, too
Trump is a rapist pedophile and the DOJ is protecting him, there are mountains of evidence, even after they illegally redacted most of the files. You can either believe the actual victims of Epstein's pedophile ring, or you can believe Trump, who is the biggest liar in American political history.
The woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13 provided several verifiable details about her life in interviews with the FBI, according to a new report.
The woman detailed her alleged abuse by Trump and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein over four interviews in 2019, the Epstein files revealed. The interviews were initially kept secret by the DOJ.
A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by The Post and Courier through public records.
The Epstein class owns our government lock, stock, and barrel. They’re not going to prosecute their owners.
It’s worth noting:
1) This is admitting there are high profile predators on the list.
2) Predators on the Epstein List are still predators today.
These were pedophiles BEFORE Epstein. Epstein simply gave them easy access to minors, but once he died then they had to go back to other sources. And since this is an international list of clients then protecting them is a global issue.
10 Years Ago Today, Trump Promised To Eliminate the National Debt. Instead, It Has Doubled.
Ten years ago today, Donald Trump said he would pay off the national debt in the span of just eight years.
That did not happen. Instead, the gross national debt has doubled since that day—from about $19 trillion to over $39 trillion. Much of that additional borrowing has taken place during Trump's five-plus years in the White House.
Lol. such a financial genius. So much winning.
People continue to put trust into someone who managed to bankrupt a casino twice and has more failed businesses in his name than he has failed marriages.
Well of course it doubles when you reduce taxes on the people who pay the most in taxes (and have way way more than they need because of their exploitation of the working class) and don’t significantly cut spending (because the only place to realistically cut enough without causing societal collapse would piss of the donors in the war business)…
US megachurch pastor released from jail after pleading guilty to child sex abuse
Robert Morris, 64, who started Texas’s Gateway church and also once served as a White House spiritual adviser during Donald Trump’s first presidency, pleaded guilty in early October in Osage county district court on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child.
Notice that he's not Trans, he's not gay, he's not a immigrant, he isn't Somalian, he isn't Iranian, he isn't a Teacher? What he IS is a White, Male, Religious Leader with a lot of Money. THAT'S who Americans need help protecting their CHILDREN from!!
Rape. He RAPED a 12 year old. Sooner or later, people are going to need to stand up to this shit. These fucks are literally allowed to abuse children. They face zero consequences.
Trump Chokes on Threat to Iran to Get Concepts of a Plan
The 79-year-old president had threatened to wipe out a “whole civilization” and bomb Iranian bridges and power plants if Tehran didn’t “fully open, without threat” the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. Eastern.
On Tuesday at 6:32 p.m. ET, less than 90 minutes before the deadline, Trump announced that he would suspend attacks on Iran for two weeks in a “double sided ceasefire.”
Still needs to be removed from office for making such a threat in the first place.
The diddler is in over his head and has no idea how to escape this self inflicted mess.
This is going to end with Iran getting official control over the straight, all/most sanctions dropped, and a sanctioned nuclear enrichment program.
What a massive step down from the nuclear deal we had in place before his first term.
But that deal was put in place by a Obama, so it doesn't count.
Happy TACO Tuesday everyone. Thank goodness he didn’t do something really stupid - yet. We just got a reprieve. The Iranian embassy Twitter accounts are about to shitpost like it’s an Olympic sport.
How much taxpayer money was wasted on this empty threat? Preparing the military, staging planes and artillery, etc. Was this just another stock market manipulation???
Attorney General Bondi to be out ‘imminently’ after disastrous Epstein files release: report
Bondi has been under fire since the botched release of the Epstein files. Trump campaigned on releasing more from the investigation into the convicted pedophile. However, over the summer, Bondi said there would be no new information released. Congress then passed a law requiring the release of the files. The Department of Justice did not release the full files by the deadline and many of the thousands of pages were redacted.
Donald Trump tells Pam Bondi she's fired over Epstein files fiasco after humiliating clash
Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with the attorney general following the Epstein files controversy. Sources say he has also claimed that she has not "executed his vision" during her tenure at the Justice Department. It comes after Trump made a disturbing sex comment on stage that silenced the alarmed audience.
By "disastrous" its the fact they were released at all in any capacity
Thats all he is pissed about.
Never forget TRUMP PICKED HER! He can make Bondi and Noem his fall guys all he wants, but EVERYONE in this administration is incompetent!
Everyone in his cabinet is falling one by one. I expect him to fire many more people before the year is up. I also expect at least 2 more to quit.
This administration is symbolic to the state of our country right now - chaotic… and it’s all occurring because of him.
Donald Trump turns on everyone eventually, no matter how often you stroke his... whatever.
Out of all his Cabinet members, she probably had the most legit career prior to getting a cabinet postion
She will have forfeited all her dignity and reputation and will be a pariah among the Republican party, a la Mike Pence, after he is fired and may face charges from a future AG.
It never ends well for people who get involved with him and you have to ask yourself, why they do it?
Trump tells Karoline Leavitt 'you're doing a terrible job' as he gets 97% bad press
While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump went on a rant about all the "bad press" he receives, labeling all of it "fake". His attention then momentarily diverted to Leavitt, whose surprising face before her MAGA makeover was previously exposed, where he attempted to lay the blame on her.
Oh, is she going to be relieved of her functions?
Permanent maternity leave incoming.
She does have a Hubble about Donald’s age that needs tending to.
They do eat their own.
She’s next on the chopping block.
It’s kinda weird how none of them saw this coming.
It's the gravitational pull that exists between fellow narcissists and sociopaths... Every one of these people are convinced that they're the one person who can either outthink or outlast Trump.
Just like president pedo claiming that, " I alone can (random absurd statement)," all of his sychophants believe they're the one who knows how to play the game -- and they all fail.
This should be a serious warning to all police and military that - despite all the shitting on Veterans, PoWs and service men and all the cuts to middle-class - still support him.
You are evidently all just useful idiots to him and his oligarch backers. He will backstab you in an instant as soon as he no longer needs you.
I fear we might see martial law in the next few months due to some (false flag) attacks in the US. In time to mess with the midterms.
The future of the US and the whole world might depend on true patriots being brave and facing brainwashed wannabe-patriots that follow a bunch of traitors that want to destroy democracy, economy, country and middle-class for even more wealth and absolute power.
