Earlier this year, we published an article headlined “10 Ways to Enrich the Trumps and the MAGA Movement.”

We failed, though, to consider that the president might simply force the US government, i.e. us taxpayers, to straight-up pay him hundreds of millions of dollars. Our bad.
Report: Trump demands taxpayers hand him $230 million
Is it still "ridiculous that anyone would even suggest" that he's cashing in?

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021.

The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.

Both ends of the line are exposed
This is what’s going to have to happen. All cases/charges will have to be brought in state court to avoid his pardon power.
In fairness, it also comes across as completely batshit when you’re IN the US.
Meaning him not getting elected?

You guys get why that’s problematic, right?

getting detained after cooking a meal for ICE agents bc they decided seasoned food is probable cause
I still don’t understand how he can make changes to a historical building so quickly. I can’t get permits to renovate a bathroom in my city in less than 6 months. This is The People’s House, it should be harder than this.
Without context assumed this was a political post 😂
I’m in! Was already considering how not to continue supporting the regime with my money. How do we get this going?

Not a criminal attorney but I have to think that the bar for a conflict is a lot lower with a defense attorney than a prosecutor. If the accused consents then that should be the end of it.
Which is also why MAGA is convinced everyone is getting paid - because, once again, with them every accusation is a confession.
It only really works if you’re tall and thin though. Not medium height and kind of round-ish, like me. But I love to look at him. ❤️
I had a Paul Bunyan book when I was a kid and the first thing I thought was - that’s Babe! 💙
Relatedly, as loyal 60 Min watchers (it seemed like the last news show standing up to the regime on the regular) this week was the first one we deliberately didn’t watch.

Jared Kushner makes me want to 🤮
Two perfect examples:
1. Governor Walz
2. Stephen Miller
When you are pure of heart no amount of earnestness is Cringe. When you are a malevolent little freak no amount of sarcasm is enough to make you cool
Vibe shift in the culture towards earnestness
Absolutely monstrous. How do they not see the parallels to the Nazis? Or they do and they just don’t care?

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.

Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.
Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."
Man, what a perfect ending that would have made.
Agreed, but also - dems have to keep running against Trump because HE’S STILL RUNNING. He’s putting out “Trump 2028” gear and showing every indication that he doesn’t think he’s going anywhere.
