While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.
So much for "drain the swamp."
Justice Samuel Alito had a symbol of insurrectionist solidarity flying on his lawn while hearing cases on Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Sign the petition to demand he recuse himself immediately or be removed by Chief Justice John Roberts! https://t.co/QEbMAfWsEm
No Labels — which is aligning with Joe Manchin — refuses to reveal who’s funding its third party bid.
But recent leaks reveal at least one donor was Harlan Crow, the GOP megadonor who funded Clarence Thomas' lavish vacations.
If that's not a red flag, I don't know what is.
Alabama U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, whose only qualifications for public office were his role as a football coach, just disclosed that he recently traded $250,000 in stock futures dealing with wheat, soy, corn and cattle.
So why is this such a big deal?
He just happens to also sit on the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
He is literally influencing the agricultural futures he is trading on with legislation he has private information on.
Corruption at its finest.
When is there going to be an investigation into this?
Breaking: It turns out that Hunter Biden was secretly running a business for Joe while Joe Biden was in office. The business made $160 million in deals during his time in office, and Joe Biden is set to get the entirety of the business when he leaves office.
Whoops never-mind. That was the Trump Organization which Donald Trump put in a trust that he essentially had complete control over and that Don Jr. and Eric officially ran during his presidency. The business brought in millions of dollars including via hotel rentals from foreign governments that likely looked to get favors from Trump. Trump Organization was then convicted of fraud and forced to shut down.
Additionally Ivanka and Jared Kushner got a $1.2 billion lease on a NY City property from a company that was majority owned by Qatar, just as Trump was supporting a middle east blockade against Qatar. Suddenly after the lease went through, Trump stopped supporting the blockade.
Then while in office, Ivanka Trump got trademarks granted to her while Donald supported a ZTE deal that benefitted China. On the very date Trump and Ivanka dined at Mar-a-Lago with the Chinese President, China awarded her 3 preliminary trademark approvals, all while Trump was President and Ivanka worked in the White House.
Then after 4 years of pro-Saudi policies, and a surprising arms deal, Trump and Kushner both signed business deals worth billions of dollars with the Saudis after leaving office.
Then, during Trump's presidency Don Jr.'s personal business parter Gentry Beach, who was doing business overseas, got access to meet with top national security officials in the Trump administration during Trump's presidency. The NSC officials were directed by the Trump White House to take the meeting because Beach and the businessman were friends of Trump Jr.
But tell me again how Joe Biden had friendly personal phone calls with Hunter Biden's business partners.
I ran into a friend last night that I hadn’t seen in a while. (She’s a former Republican but TFG changed that! Years ago she was the Mayor in Hot Springs, Arkansas, irrelevant to my story here, just an interesting tidbit.) We were talking about everything going on in our country (primarily women’s rights) and I mentioned I spent most of my time on Twitter, and making phone calls, writing emails, etc. I made some silly comment about not knowing why I spend all my free time doing these things. She put her hands on my shoulders, looked me in the eyes, and said, “You do it because you have a daughter and you have granddaughters.” She’s right. I’m holding the door open, as best I can, for them and all the women behind me. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Inflation is down to 2.97% but prices are still higher than they should be.
As we've screamed all along—the leading driver of high prices was not inflation, but corporate price gouging. And corporations fund politicians to prevent accountability. That is the problem we face.
listen up, stupids:
the January 6 insurrectionists all went to prison because they believed Donald Trump's lies.
the fake electors are all going to prison because they believed Donald Trump's lies.
the pool boy, the butler and the IT nerd are all going to prison because they believed Donald Trump's lies.
Donald Trump doesn't give a fuck about these people and their ruined lives.
Donald Trump doesn't give a fuck about you.
maybe it's time to stop believing Donald Trump's lies
