That's a whole lot of pay-to-play, and all of these companies donated to the ballroom to appease a wannabe autocrat. If your business is so important to you that you're willing to sell out your country for it, your business is too important to you. What a gross quid pro quo.

Only 11 years ago All talk when the stakes are at zero, but when the stakes are high, Trump throws him a State Dinner and praises him like a fanboy.

As Comrade Jill Stein comes out of her cave prior to each election to remind us why the Democrats suck, remember what happens when you vote for third-party candidates... Especially those who aren’t qualified, can’t win, and many times have nefarious ulterior motives. www.youtube.com/watch?is=CaB...

“Moderate” is not the term for politicians who think the right response to fascist assault on democracy is accommodation, acquiescence, appeasement. “Centrist,” yes. Chase a moving the middle, over-read narrow electoral results, etc. Fascists oppose moderates’ core values (including moderation).

Trump not only used his own livery design on his Qatari bribe revealed today, but also on the two new AF1 747-8s that'll be ready in 2029. He's scrapped the modern version of Jackie Kennedy's iconic blue livery for our two new AF1 jets, on which he'll never even fly. www.cbsnews.com/news/air-for...

It never works b/c suspending the gas tax won’t suspend the ongoing costs required to maintain a national transportation network. We already have crumbling infrastructure as it is so no gas tax just adds to our infrastructure issues, pushing us deeper into debt and costing taxpayers more long-term.

There’s no “they” here. It was one guy and he went to prison. It used to be the norm for a president to release his tax returns. Now the president sues to prevent them from being released. Also, why would Trump’s tax returns destroy him? Shouldn’t they show what a successful business man he is? 🤦‍♂️

Meanwhile… On top of starting this war in Iran that nobody but Bibi and Trump wanted, and which is directly response for the rise in gas prices, Trump’s regime is literally paying companies to STOP building green tech infrastructure that we’ve already started building. www.cnn.com/2026/03/23/c...

After all the ass-kissing and soul-selling, another one bites the dust. It’s amazing how all of these people continue to go to work for Trump, somehow unable to connect the dots that give them a clue as to how destroyed their reputation will be by the time they are forced out of Trump’s admin.

Random history trivia: Hitler said he was there to help when he demanded the annexation of the Sudetenland in 1938, claiming the ethnic German majority living there was oppressed.

Trump is creating a $1.8 billion slush fund to hand out to all the assholes who helped him destroy our government. These people were rightly prosecuted by the Biden Admin for their actions on January 6th or other crimes, Trump pardoned them, and now he’s literally paying them, with YOUR tax money.

If there is a single sentence that sums up the ideology of Trumpism & MAGA more than any other, it is definitely this... "People like us should be free to do what we want, and free to stop other people from doing what they want when we don’t approve." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Trump has always loved and admired a brutal strongman dictator who oppresses his own people. Remember the “beautiful love letters” between Trump and Kim Jong Un that he bragged about? Notice that you never see Trump chum it up with world leaders of democracies, but he easily relates to autocrats.

Trump, because he is a moron and a malignant narcissist, committed the most ridiculously predictable self-own in modern geopolitics, and the strait was open until he started this shit. He has put the world in a totally avoidable energy quagmire, one which will pull many countries into a recession.

It should be disqualifying if you don’t know, or pretend not to know, anything about what’s being asked of you in these hearings. Especially when questions are based on relevant information to your job that you should have learned all about by the time you’re in front of Congress “answering” them.

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.
