I’m sure this is just an initial bailout and there will be supplementals. Some bailouts are totally cool. I didn’t vote for this.

Americans have been zig zagging like a pinball between parties for a while now, the strategy is not working and didn’t care what happened to anyone else as long as they thought they were getting something out of deal. The voters wasted that thought. They got nothing & some us are not surprised.

That’s sweet, everyone hates them too.

These voters got us into this mess so I’m glad they hate everyone.

I listen to these focus groups and I’m still amazed, although I shouldn’t be how stunningly stupid these people are.

We’ve done some terrible things as a nation & sadly this will be placed under n that list.

But even if you were a pure self interested America first type, this encourages other nations to treat Americans in vulnerable states in similar fashion so great job.

The boat strikes are having their desired effect.

Think about what it has us talking about and what it doesn’t have us talking about.

Last year all I heard was the indictments against Trump didn’t count bc it’s easy to get an indictment.

And sure they’re easy,if the evidence is there and you know what you’re doing.

Since I despise the pardon power bc it’s a relic from the 18th century & before, I hope all pardons are invalidated & Trump’s pardons receive the same treatment. Any other Executive Orders, I could care less.
Trump falsely claimed that all documents signed by Biden are now “invalid” because they were allegedly authorized using autopen. The president’s attack comes days after revelations that Trump himself has recently relied on mass-signature processes.

Years from now every person in this photo whether they agree w this or not, will have taken on this belief system based on their proximity to Trump.

It’s why your moral compass should tell you to decline, assuming you had one which is in doubt for those depicted.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

I posted yesterday the fact that he didn’t know or doesn’t support what exactly happened doesn’t reflect well on him either.

Is anyone losing their job and furthermore he doesn’t seem all that upset.

Clown show.
Q: So to be clear, you support the decision to kill survivors?

TRUMP: No. I support the decision to knock out the boats.

The Trump Administration is reduced to explaining the bad economy to that of a losing baseball team- “wait till next year!”

Sad.

There are no criminal prosecutions anymore. Millions were spent, and it consumed much of our collective attention so there is a tremendous public interest in having Jack Smith testify & testify publicly the public can understand what he did & found on our dime.

A note on the TN-07 special election. It’s way too soon to project out - we’re 11 months from the midterms. It bodes extremely well, but there will be another million outrages until that happens. Everyone should keep doing what they’re doing.

Many of us warned about the consequences of a convicted felon (& deranged lunatic) in the Oval Office and these boat strikes are a vivid manifestation of that decision.

It all results in a lawless Administration.

🤔 Gee, who was the president during the 2020 recession?

The guy in the WH now who is 5 years older and can’t stay awake during meetings.
“.. The US lost an average of 4k private-sector jobs per month over the last 3 months (ADP data), the first 3-month decline since the 2020 recession.”

Not knowing anything about it is not any better for a commander in chief.

Reporter: Do you support the second strike?

Trump: I still have not gotten a lot of information because I rely on Pete. I wasn’t involved. I hear the gentleman that was involved in that was extraordinary. I will let Pete speak about it.
