If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

Maybe the next time Trump/Rubio/Leavitt go to “it’s a brutal war on both sides” to talk about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, someone can follow up with the simple fact that Russia bombs civilian population centers daily and Ukraine does not at all.

The 🍊🤡 needs to understand that the Epstein Files are NOT going away!! Much of the press has normalized all the bullshit thrown at them daily. It's nearly overwhelming amount of flooding the zone being done by this administration. But not quite overwhelming! The good people of America will prevail!💪

The trumpanzee nominated Kevin Warsh to replace Jerome Powell as next Fed Chairman. History tells us 2 things in this article: he was totally wrong on '08 financial crisis, and he bases his monetary policy on politics. Of course 🍊🤡 likes him. They share one other thing - both are in Epstein Files.

Karoline Leavitt lies shamelessly: "Under Joe Biden, murders were up. Violent crime was up." (Biden brought crime dramatically down from where it was in 2020, the last year of Trump's first term)

That was the tour I saw him play in an intimate 3000 seat auditorium. Fogerty was fantastic...funny & humble while telling life stories while giving all the credit to his wife for his success. I recall Kenny Aronoff leaping over his drums from a sitting position to a perfect landing on the stage! 😲

Backyard shenanigans with my favorite Luna-tic! ❤️ Yard is full but nothing stops Luna!! She lasted 10 minutes in the zero windchill conditions. I made it about 10 more snowshoeing around to reclaim our trail network. A deep breath reminded me my bruised/broken rib(s) need more time. Fun was over.

The front doesn't look bad as the snow can keep moving through. The back? A different story w/fence, house and tree line trapping it as the wind moves it in from farm field. The 4' fence is long gone. Drifts are nearly to top of 6' fence in spots. So cold the deer have stopped raiding bird feeder.🥶😱

I keep hoping that a turning point has been reached. This murder was captured from so many angles that all show a Alex Pretti get attacked after he tried to help a lady who was shoved to the ground for no reason. He is face down with his hands clearly showing before ICE shoots him in the back.

Leaked media from behind closed doors always shine the light on what many magats believe about trump & his policies - like all those fox news personalities in their emails & texts who laugh at him, hate him, have no respect for him. Soon these fuckers will be rooted out & cabinet prosecuted. 🙏🍊🤡🚫
