The most anti-free press regime in American history, led by Donald “The Media is the Enemy of the People” Trump, is once again proving how out of touch it is with the principles of the …

So shooting pastors and journalists is not yet "crossing the line" for MAGA Mike Johnson.

Where the F**K is the line?

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Eric Trump: "We've saving God." ??????

Poor God must be in dire trouble if MAGA has become his savior. Eric also talks about "a return to people going to church," which no one in the Trump family does. Except for a photo-op.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

This is the "president" of the United States whining about a photo of himself.

Trump is all ego, and it's massive but pitifully fragile. So he spends time posting comments like this while the American people struggle to make ends meet in his recessionary economy.

Trump says that peace in the Middle East "could've happened a long time ago," but for the administrations of Obama and Biden.

He left out the admin in between them - Trump! Why didn't Trump do it if it was so easy?

Trump: "What we're doing now, it could've happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden. There was a hatred toward Israel."

Trump is praising Egypt's authoritarian methods of suppressing crime by denying suspects' trials, extrajudicial murder, and torturing the innocent along with the guilty.

Trump says that he thinks "it's great" because he wants to do it here.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump in Egypt: "This country is doing very well. It has good leadership. It's nice when you say, 'How is your crime situation?' and they don't even know what you're talking about. Because if he has crime he puts it out very quickly. Some people think that's not nice, but I think it's great."

WOW! Trump has a coherent moment conceding that he is not "Heaven bound." The harm he's done and is doing to millions sets his fate.

But it's still strange how cavalierly he accepts that he has a fate of eternity in Hell, and isn't doing anything to alter it.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

JD Vance thinks that Tom Homan taking $50,000 - in cash, in a paper bag, from undercover FBI agents - is totally legal and proper in the course of regular business?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

STEPHANOPOULOS: Did Tom Homan give the $50,000 back?

VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear

STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question

VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services.

Trump's raging dementia is evident again. He's ranting about "THE BIDEN FBI" placing agents in the crowd of his January 6th insurrectionists.

But Biden wasn't inaugurated until January 20. On the 6th it was still Trump's FBI. What a SCAM!
