I am convinced that people who think immigrants are lazy and just draw welfare have not actually met many immigrants.

Yes, Republicans. The entire news cycle on your moronic Jack Smith hearing will now be dominated by Eric Schmitt’s basketball game buffoonery and John ‘Foghorn Leghorn’ Kennedy asking Smith about the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Brilliant job, once again by the feckless fools.

🔥JACK SMITH: "Trump engaged in serious crimes against 🇺🇸- a criminal scheme to prevent a lawful transfer of power... the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we've experienced. I won't be silenced by threats of prosecution. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well."

If you put Republicans in charge of the presidency, they blame Congress for their failures. If they also control Congress, they blame the courts. If they control the courts, they blame their state. If they control their state, they blame a secret shadowy deep state, NGOs & media.

I get that Trump craves attention but I actually think he craves his bubble more now. He wants only good news. But the real issue is Natalie Harp, who knows this better than anyone, mostly decides if he gets just that. He can turn on the TV but she probably even does that for him.

Trump believes in a free press. The press is free to praise him. CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were banned for criticism. That is viewpoint discrimination, not media policy. If Trump wants applause instead of questions, he should book another rally. youtu.be/pCcBHLkEkII

And to be clear, I'm not exaggerating when I say that the most lucrative business decision Trump ever made was his 2024 run for president. Forbes has been tracking Trump's wealth since the early 80s, and they referred to 2025 as "the most lucrative year of his life"

Lots of coverage of Trump on renaming New Mexico, New America. But people are too polite to point out Trump has no interest in renaming New England or New Hampshire or New Jersey or New York. It's Mexico and Mexicans and Latinos he wants to taunt. It's childish idiocy, but it's also a dog whistle.
