Wild that a "tough guy" is constantly worried about his image, what people say about him, and immediately erupts in anger if contradicted, questioned, or even slightly criticized... "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." - President Harry S. Truman

What exactly did the Donald Duckator Admin pay $6M for? As more stories are being shared by illegally deported Venezuelans, it is clear that the agreement needs to be reviewed by Congress and probably the U.N. If we do basic deductive syllogisms, the conclusions are as abhorrent as the stories. 🤬

Let us not forget that the admin paid $6M to El Salvador to "keep" 250 illegally deported Venezuelan men at CECOT. What does the agreement say? Did Trump/State Dept. know these men were being tortured? Did $6M involve later setting up a prisoner exchange? www.advocate.com/news/andry-h...

GOP sold ppl "family first, protect children, fiscal conservatism." But it took Trump and his not being a typical politician for the truth to seep out. The only "families, children, & financial institutions" the GOP cares about are their own. Every policy is for personal gain, not the greater good.

The standards seem to only exist when they get caught or someone dies in custody these days... so miss me with the "committed to thoroughly determining what happened" bullshit. This behavior of escalation is endemic to their system, has been for decades. JSO needs accountability overhaul 💯

Suing for Defamation Per Quod in FL requires proving actual malice of the defamatory statement & provable financial damages. Trump put a value of $10B. Seems he will have to provide evidence of how he got that value. I recall the WSJ broke the Stormy Daniels story... hmm, how did that end for him

Felicia @benevolenttater.bsky.social · 19/07/2025
Ok so Trump is suing WSJ as an individual for libel aka financial and reputational harm he values at $10B. How is a man with 34 felonies, and a recently affirmed conviction on libel for SA, suffering reputation harm from this? Seems his rep was already in the garbage before this came out.

Two things about the Memos on Trump's health: 1.) How did Trump get a clean bill if a full exam was done? CVI (chronic) would show on the lower extremities. 2.) This is minor, fonts on the memo changed, & the physician used initials rather than their full signature. Not a big deal, just strange.
Comparison picture of memos from the Physician to the President on Trump's health (4/13/25 and 7/17/25). 

Highlights extremities and skin conditions from the April memo, and then the diagnoses of CVI and bruising on the back of Trump's hand from the July memo.

Hey GOP, does knowing Dear Leader has access to healthcare bring you a sense of relief? Fun fact: CVI affects approximately 150,000 Americans annually, especially the elderly. While it can be benign, it does require treatment, which is costly. And you just cut funding for insurance for 17M ppl.
Excerpt from National Library of Medicine: Venous Insufficiency. 

Prognosis- CVI is not a benign disorder and carries enormos morbidity.  Without correction, the condition is progressive. Venous ulcers are common and very difficult to treat. Chronic venous ulcers are painful and debilitating. Even with treatment, recurrences are common if venous hypertension persists. Nearly 60% develop phlebitis... The financial cost of the care to the patient can also be enormous. [3]

Dear world leaders, I have no idea how trade/tariff deals work, but I do know that Trump really doesn't want anyone to talk about Epstein... seems like maybe that is a card to play somehow... if he wants to play games ask him to release the files and then u will come to the table to talk trade.

After watching @meidastouch.com 's video ft. Suri Crowe, the research bug hit me. Not that hypocrisy/contradictions are anything new to the GOP, but interesting that it is both a vital and essential thing and a luxury... weird how past ACTS and votes come back...
Heavy text image that quotes HR.1 section on snap benefit reduction if you pay for internet. Personal opinion of the blusky poster that the GOP claims the internet is a luxury. 

The rest of the image is text explaining that point further by referencing the definition of luxury vs. necessity. black text on white background.

Depending on your state, Medicaid also helps cover Hospice care. If you can't afford at-home hospice care, this will fall on you. As a former caregiver for her terminally ill mother, at-home hospice care, even with Medicaid, was difficult; without it would have been inhumane and totally destroyed me

Hey GOP: Children living in poverty are more likely to die due to gun violence than their more affluent peers (JAMA report). Cut Medicaid & rural hospitals will likely close. Where will victims go to get treated? How many will pass waiting for an ambulance? But at least the rich will be ok, right?
