If a news organization does not cover this as a clear case of: “president Trump tells story of 9/11 that glorifies himself but has no basis in fact” they are not worth listening to. Yes, I’m talking about you, @nytimes.com

It is pretty much impossible for a president to affect gas prices, unless you begin a war in the Persian Gulf, especially one that results in the Strait of Hormuz being closed. There is a reason why EVERY president dating back to Reagan never started a war with Iran. Donald Trump did this 👇

I don't know any person who would say, "maybe we'd like a dictator." It is rare for a nation to go from a democracy to an authoritarian state, but for those that do, the strongman keeps pushing the limits of power until an authoritarian state exists. What do you think is going on here folks?

It's quite clear President Trump wants to talk about anything else other than the Epstein Files. Where there is smoke there is fire, and this is turning into a 10 alarm inferno. There is an easy way to resolve whether the current president was involved in the Epstein matter: #ReleaseTheFiles. 2/2

President Trump today accused President Obama of treason. In normal times this would be a blockbuster. However, we don't live in normal times, so much so, that former President Obama's office issued a response saying "These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction." 1/2

At some point, Republicans are going to learn what the Department of Energy does, right? Like... they have to learn at some point that it runs nuclear reactors and doesn't operate oil fields or whatever.

This quote from State Rep Robyn Vining perfectly sums up how GOP rigs elections in Wisconsin “They gerrymander to rig system & when they can’t gerrymander, they try to take away people’s votes & when they can’t rig votes, the richest man in the world comes in & decides he wants to buy it.”
