I wonder if anyone has told Trump that once one has been pardoned they can no longer incriminate themselves and thus have no 5th amendment protection.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe. Putin exports stolen grain from occupied territories. Trump tariffs kill U.S. farms, ICE "disappears" migrant workers, leaving crops to die.Trump policies bring us to our knees by controlling food. Trump will import Putin grain stolen from Ukraine.

One big lesson from Mamdani's victory:
Don't be afraid of billionaires. Make billionaires afraid of you. Take them on, don't back down.
Billionaires from Musk on down used all their tricks and failed.
Democrats are trained to lust after billionaire money, but courage has tremendous value.

A 50 year mortgage is a terrible idea that will certainly lead to another housing and economic crisis.
People can't afford homes because the cost of living is too high, wages are too low and billionaires are hoarding wealth.
Making them debt slaves for the majority of their lives is NOT the answer

AOC dishes some MTG info. AOC says Trump shut down Greene's ambition to run for Senate in Georgia and now she's on a revenge tour. Whether it's that, or her voters turning against Trump, or both, it's interesting to watch her bash Trump and the GOP. #Georgia #Accountability @democrats.senate.gov

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich.

Oh my dog, the UNedited version of His Magasty's interview is a horror show. He's a fucking moron. He's senile. He's a piss-frosted disaster. Shame on CBS for cleaning this up.

That’s by design. Billionaires monetize rage bait, and it has the added bonus of keeping us fighting with each other while they rob us blind. But one day soon, all the anger from the culture wars they’ve cultivated to distract us from the class war will be turned on them.
One of the biggest revelations of the social media age imo is how much people are addicted to getting mad, so much so that they'll actively create reasons when there are none.

George's summary is 💯% spot on.
In Donald Trump's mind, there is only him. He is everything. Everything is his. Everything is about him. Nothing else, no one else, matters.
In his own mind, he is the law. Everyone must follow him. He is the only one who gets to say what is right and what is wrong. ...
