Trump added $7 billion over his first term - he is now setting a pace of $6 billion A YEAR should spending vs receipts trends hold! The fiscally conservative GOP ladies and gentlemen.

I have a feeling that it may well be true and that in return Trump then gave him a pardon (see the Zhao news). Note that he didn’t say that it was an American - just a friend. With Trump there is ALWAYS a quid pro quo.

We all know that saying about the definition of insanity. Perhaps taking 12 straight votes and expecting a different outcome tells you everything you need to know about both the President and the Republican party.

Of course - I was trying to think of what else someone could have answered given that even the reformers' answers only total to 69% of their responses - and they were the group with the highest level of heaven/hell response. So how did the other 31% of them respond? What of the other groups?

Was purgatory an option? The responses nowhere near add up to 100% so it would seem that either a) the reformers were most open to considering and answering the question; b) they have the most black/white view of the world; or c) they were the ones least stunned into silence by the question.

How long will it be before a MQ-9 Reaper is taking out cars of alleged drug runners driving on US highways because the Trump admin has decided to take this same approach here at home?

Preparing myself for the "thoughts & prayers" reaction from the admin along with a suggestion that if the school had its own autonomous armed drone that it would have scared off the Russian drone that fired the missile.

He's also rapidly building up a stockpile of weapons to arm his gestapo (ICE) and previously freed those who attacked the country on 1/6 so that they can be even better prepared for his next insurrection.

Can’t wait to hear how Karoline Leavitt tries to sanewash this idiocy and to reconcile it with her previous statements about how Trump and his family aren’t in this for the money.

Chris Lalonde @clalonde.bsky.social · 3d

No - we've always known & been outraged by Trump's comments on: his daughter (she's hot), Miss Teen USA pageant (I walk in to see them naked), his friend's wives (I would move on her like a *itch), women in general (grab 'em by the *ussy). We hoped that by seeing the files *you* finally would too.

Not surprising that an adjudicated rapist would violate something like the People's House without consent.

No sir - those were the America hates you and Trump protests You sir, and the President, given each of your actions, are clearly not true Americans. Americans believe in the Constitution and the rule of Law. We don't hate America - we just hate what Trump, you, and your party have done!

That alone would be enough for a sane and uncorrupt Cabinet to invoke the 25th.

That $40B does a round trip. It is sent to Argentina and then used to repay outstanding Argentinian debt that Bessent’s hedge fund friends and Trump’s donors (& possibly family) bought for pennies on the dollar when everyone thought Argentina would default. It’s another grift!

Not just unshackled however - by echoing his multitude of lies they have become cheerleaders who have taken an active role in encouraging even more outrageous, audacious, and atrocious behavior.

The appropriate follow-up is then: "Secretary Rollins, given that the President remains 100% focused on America First, who in America is benefiting from the $20 to $40 billion bailout of Argentina?"

A: Secretary Bessent's hedge fund manager friends who purchased Argentinian government.

The data will be given to Palantir and cross referenced with voter and donor data to identify left-leaning voters who are also likely to be gun owners. Those people will then be targeted and their guns will be seized - thus largely eliminating the threat of an armed uprising. #insurrectionact2025

It’s in Project 2025 - it reduces educational attainment for both the mother and child which, and it’s literally in their plan, leads to an increase in birth rate and higher likelihood that they be future Republicans voters.

In medical terms “exceptional” is ambiguous - laymen may assume it means very good but it can also mean highly abnormal/concerning. Given the “follow up” nature of this appointment, it is likely the latter in this case and chosen for the release specifically to create the impression of the former.

He doesn’t understand economics. If China restricts exports prices will go up. Adding tariffs in the US whkle others don’t makes it harder on US consumers and companies which suppresses demand creating more supply for other countries which helps offset the inflationary impact of export controls.

Reminder - they did have the majority and they DIDN’T nuke the filibuster during the last admin. How fucking stupid do these people think the citizenry is?
