Instead of donating to and kissing Convicted Felon Donald Trump's ample butt, these companies should be using the money to increase employee pay and give them health insurance.

Trump wants a White House ballroom. These companies are funding it.
Tech, crypto and defense companies are among the donors that have committed millions to help turn Trump’s ballroom dream into a reality, according to the White House.

Trump just wants wars. He starts them and then hopes he can end them.
Why?
He’s a sick Dictator and Venezuela is his next hit job.
Money is always behind everything he does.
He even wants war in America!
Are we going to stand up?
If not now, when?

NBC almost makes this sound like it’s some sort of scandal. Let’s pay attention though and be clear: He reported the earnings and the public STILL HAS NOT seen Trump’s taxes.

Now, where TF are the #Epstein files⁉️

Yet rumor has it Dear Leader and his jester are planing a military parade (during a GOP shutdown) with (allegedly) live ammunition.

You know it's bad when @weratedogs.com is upset.

They bring highlights of dogs and they have a foundation to help with dog bills.

Yet, even they reached a breaking point when CBP was given permission to enter after the owner asked them to wait so he could lock up his dog.

CBP let the dog out 😡

I have yet to see this mysterious #DutyToDisobey mandate from our soldiers.

They are obeying illegal occupation orders.

They are obeying illegal bombing orders, murdering innocent people in the Caribbean- committing war crimes w ZERO pushback.

The military is not our friend.

Former college debater Ted Cruz performs some logical gymnastics on Fox News:

1. Define protests like No Kings as “riots”

2. Legally add “rioting” to the offenses covered by RICO

3. And voila! Our first amendment right to assemble with fellow citizens is now subject to punishment as racketeering

This is the best way to respond to Trump’s authoritarianism. It shows in black and white that he’s lying (again). This should be the example to be done nationwide.
