Donald Trump is facing allegations of financial misconduct during his first 100 days in office. Reports suggest he may have misappropriated approximately $3 billion from the American public. These claims are part of a broader scrutiny of his administration's financial dealings. Republican swine.

Trump is using the government shutdown (a shut down he directed to hide the Epstein Files) to screw all older Americans by cancelling increases in Social Security. Write the White House and all your Congress representatives a letter asking why. Do it.

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

Trump is so weak he must call Chinese leader Xi Jinping about tariffs. Trump has no idea what tariffs are or how they work.
Meanwhile, Chinese exports are increasing, while the USA is economy is stagnate and losing exports and jobs.
Trump created an economic disaster for America.

Despite US tariffs, Chinese exports are breaking records

China’s exports in September were up 8.3% - that's $328 billion.

Although Chinese exports to U.S. were down 27%

This is why China is now entering aggressively in the trade war. They have managed to reroute the exports to US.

Understand Republicans are responsible for gun deaths be it mass shooting in schools, clubs, campuses, casinos, churches...you name it.
Yet for some reason the Media chose not to report that is the Republicans and NRA who pushed guns on everyone. Republicans are responsible for gun deaths.

Like wages, life expectancy in the south has been going down since the Reagan revolution. It was a time in 1980 when the Republicans decided to declare war on the sick, poor and the old.
The numbers tell the story.
Doesn't matter, nothing will change, southerners are illiterate.
