Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

When will this nightmare presidency end? Seriously.
Trump posted this. He’d rather have us talking about his racism than about pedophilia. Contact your GOP lawmakers and insist they condemn this. Here’s how: www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Impeach.
The President sold our most sophisticated AI chips to an Emirati company with ties to the Chinese military. Now we find out they paid hundreds of millions directly to the President’s kids.

It’s all there in plain sight. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?

That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

I spoke on the Senate floor to talk about this secret deal to make Trump rich in exchange for national security favors. At least $187 million into Trump's pocket. Just mind blowing.

Such blatant corruption — which the media will, of course, totally ignore.

President Trump has made $4 billion by illegally trading access to the White House to get rich. He controls the Dept of Justice and the Congress so he won't be held accountable - until he doesn't control the Dept of Justice and Congress.
Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion
In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

Every news channel should be reporting on this along with how the trumps have increased their wealth tens of billions of dollars while in office.
Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion of taxpayers’ money for leaking his tax returns during his first term in office.

Any payout to the president from the lawsuit would effectively allow him to pocket tax dollars paid by Americans.
Trump and sons demand $10 billion payout in new lawsuit against IRS
Any payout would effectively allow the president to pocket tax dollars.

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.

This outrageous act — seizing ballots — follows Bondi’s demand that to stop public executions in Minneapolis, Minnesota needed to turn over its voter roll.

They’re determined to steal the midterms since they know they can’t win under an actual democracy.

I love how journalists on BBC don’t let republicans gaslight their listeners.

Reuters: PM Starmer will fly to China on January 27 on the first visit by a British leader in 8 years, in a bid “to mend ties with the world's second-largest economy and reduce its dependence on an increasingly unpredictable United States”.

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after:

They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

The American people deserve a public apology from every dipshit columnist who said Kamala was being histrionic for saying Trump would use the military to take over cities and against US citizens.

I wonder how long we’ll have to stand this nightmare. At some point he’ll bankrupt this country like his businesses. Maybe the new fed chair won’t be independent, the USD no longer anchors the world currency, who knows how it might happen. Only when his red base feels the pain will they turn on him.

If any Democrat in the Senate votes to fund ICE, they are voting for the summary execution of American citizens. It’s really that simple.
Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.

The right is arguing that federal agents should be allowed to summarily execute you if you are carrying a firearm—after years of warning crazy people that federal agents would come and seize your guns.

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

David is correctly identifying the official here, but Trump himself had no clue what her name was or what her position was, saying she was "I guess the prime minister"

Believe it or not, but we used to expect presidents to know these things.
