They're dishonest, and thrive on disinformation.

NEW:

A dramatic voiceover video the White House and Donald Trump shared last week claiming to show "chaos" in Chicago is littered with outdated footage from Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Nebraska, California and Arizona, an AFP investigation found.

Mike "I'm such a devout Cristian" Johnson spews lies about funding, and says he won't "waste" taxpayer dollars on foreign aid for children, LGBTQ programs, or other non-Christian programs - but will send $40 billion to Argentina?

Mother fucking hypocrite will do whatever daddy tells him.

Now we are up to $40 billion for Argentina. Can anyone stop Bessent from unilaterally sending unlimited amounts of our money to South America? And Republicans won’t even negotiate with the Democrats on health care for Americans. Where is Congress?

It seems that if these organizations just stopped covering trump - don't name him, don't show his face, don't cover his golfing, his travel, his cabinet meetings, his press conferences - then the old felon's narcissism would go into overdrive and he would overrule this policy to get in the news.

This is the Republican party in 2025 - and for any GOP member to ignore or dismiss it is to be complicit.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

Glad to have these countries on our side.

He proves it every time he opens his mouth, and everyone in his admin knows he's being used for his stupidity. Just ask Vance and Miller!

Every picture taken of him as he deteriorates is uglier and scarier than the last one - just in time for Halloween.

Trump hates this photo of him. Definitely don't share it far and wide today.

These traitors are doing the bidding of the Christian Nationalist Fascists at the Heritage Foundation, with the intent to install a dictator in the W.H., and also remake the U.S.A. into a "Christian" nation - one of the things we rebelled against when we fought to form our own country 250 ears ago.

Well said - and true.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

So the puppy-shooter and the orange felon-in-chief think these big, brawny brutes need National Guard protection from women and children and old people? Sounds like they're projecting their own fear and incompetence - either that, or all of their boys are pussies.

Hey, Sean Duffy, instead of running your mouth about something of which you are ignorant in order to let donnie know how much you adore him, try keeping the planes you're in charge of in the sky and not falling to earth, catching fire, or crashing into Black Hawk helicopters.

If anyone thinks trump is not a criminal who LOVES criminals, this should convince them otherwise - unless they're MAGA cult members who think their orange felon-in-chief is God.
