It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence,” said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

Crazy how Fetterman had no history of buying stocks until he got elected to the Senate. And for someone with no stock trading experience, he's managed to do REALLY well with his investments there. One lucky dude, huh?

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Cult(ure) of Abuse
How do we deal with a culture of abuse? What is our part in ending it? How do we deal with an abusive cult of millions?

At Trump-Putin summit, a non-negotiable demand: return Ukraine’s kidnapped kids
Donald Trump must make it unmistakably clear: A peace deal is a non-starter until Russia frees the 19,500-plus children it has abducted from Ukraine.

Genuinely if somebody uses “woke” in a pejorative sense, I don’t trust them. Either they are sympathetic to white supremacy or too ignorant to detect it.

We need a presidential candidate who vows to hold the Supreme Court as currently constituted to have invalidated itself through its open corruption and fraternization with anti-constitutional insurrectionist domestic enemies of the United States, to treat all its rulings as void, and to replace it.
