Trump has oodles of cash at his disposal, both personally, and from his wealthy wingnut donors. Why would he risk civil or criminal charges by misappropriating funds? Just to avoid paying for advertising that he could easily afford? Weird.

Something that seems obv to me, but I haven’t seen anyone comment on, is that Nidal Hasan is being publicly executed because he is a Muslim. The administration is doing this to satisfy & to fuel Muslim hate among their followers. I doubt that they would bother with such a spectacle if he was white.

The same people who demand that the Ten Commandments be illegally posted in public schools also think that public executions are an “American value”. 🙄

Is MAGA even aware of the double standard and cognitive dissonance they’re operating under wrt Trump? Cheering wildly and nodding their heads if Trump does it, but clutching their pearls, face red with rage and spitting anger if anyone else, especially a Democrat, does the same exact thing?

There seems to be building interest in pursuing impeachment for cabinet members before impeaching Trump, and I’m all for it. That anti-American, treasonous asshole, Russell Vought, said to traumatize federal workers. I say, let’s traumatize Trump cabinet members.

Regardless of whether the U.S. ever prosecutes him, he may find that he’s unable to travel freely abroad, as he may face international sanctions for war crimes.

Good stuff here on how media has been using Sister Souljah gotcha moments against Dems for over 20 years as a "rite of passage" that just isn't applied equivalently to Republicans, no matter how loudly media figures deny it. Dems: Choose not to play.

Instead, they’ve given him a blank check and impunity while they looked the other way. Trump’s sabotage of our country doesn’t happen without a corrupt GOP majority enabling and supporting him and shielding him from scrutiny and accountability.

David McBride @lineardave.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I think that this point does not get emphasized enough. Too often, people treat the GOP congressional majority as passive bystanders. Far from it. GOP congress members are COMPLICIT in Trump’s corruption, treachery and incompetence. They have failed their duty to hold Trump accountable.

I think this is yet another consequence of Trump’s epic narcissism. He would rather spend campaign money on himself and give up the blank check and impunity that the Republican majority in Congress has afforded him than spend it on helping GOP congressional candidates get elected.

Lots of focus on Natalie Harp's being one of three aide shepherded out of Turkey while lesser priorities such as Marco Rubio remained on the plane. But check out who were the other two: Dan Scavino and Walt Nauta, the man who kept the secrets and lied about them in the Mar-A-Lago prosecution.

I think that the Democratic messaging should be about “restoring oversight”. IOW - Congressional Republicans abandoned their duty of oversight and now Democrats will faithfully restore Congressional oversight. Talk about going after Trump is too easy to spin as mere political vendetta.

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data.
USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences.
The media should be opponents of Trump's police state —

Decisions about confirming Blanche for attorney general and whether he'll abide by the Constitution are "not black-or-white," said Cassidy.

The Blanche statement that likely now secures his confirmation does nothing to abrogate Trump’s rights in the slush fund and perpetuates the outrageous tax amnesty for Trump and family, which the American people are paying for without getting anything in return. It’s all lip service and a travesty.

As I said repeatedly during Trump 1.0, Trump sees the U.S. Treasury as his personal piggy bank. But back then, he couldn’t find a way to siphon it to himself. This time around, he has: shakedowns, crypto, and the slush fund. With the added bonus of paying off his own shadow army.

Trump is still pushing the lie that the thugs who stormed the Capitol and assaulted police officers are victims to be paid. These criminals received due process and were convicted at trial or by guilty plea. It’s all part of the false narrativr that he won the 2020 election. Can we say enough?

Donald Trump still has absolutely no idea what he was trying to do, how he was going to do it, why he wasn't able to do it, or what he's going to do next to try to fix what he has no idea he broke. He's a delusional, crackbrained, and deranged moron. It's just that simple.
