Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

10. Turns out we do not have to experience the constant drumbeat of this man's lies. Turns out members of the press can do their jobs professionally and dispassionately, reporting on the president while also essentially putting him on mute.

Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

The message "they want to inspect your daughter's genitals" would be astoundingly effective. Which is also why conservative Democrats who want to cave won't say it. In general, they would rather lose and be comfortable than win and have to push hard.

The complaints cite a ProPublica report detailing how CBS and Paramount have for years given FCC commissioners luxury gala tickets, which the commissioners accepted even as the FCC was reviewing or about to review major Paramount business decisions. Read our original investigation:

Blanche’s appeasement is hollow. Trump still gets immunity from tax audits worth $100 million. And last week’s payout to abortion clinic blocker shows the path to payouts to rewrite history will be individual settlements instead of one designated fund. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Further, Blanche’s statement still gives Trump cover for stealing from America for decades, and he can just do it again bc they’re basically blessing it now. When he asks for your vote, always say no. Anything else is treasonous bc he’s a thief and a saboteur.

DO NOT CONGRATULATE If Tillis and Cornyn had any dignity or self-respect, or even a shred of patriotism or professional responsibility, they’d still vote no. But they’re Republicans and none of their colleagues have those virtues either. So why would they? They will cave because they have no honor.
