“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.”

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.
Ladies & Gentlemen;
Please meet the President of the United States:
Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.
Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.
34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying.
91 criminal charges.
Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.
6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.
5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty.
4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.
2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.
2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.
1 fake university shut down. 1 fake charity shut down.
Even his charity was a grift.
Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.
Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second.
A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.
Ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.
Stealing from a charity with his own name on it.
Found liable for business fraud and originally slapped with a penalty topping 450 million dollars, later thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding itself stuck to him anyway.
First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.
Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.
Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.
Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. Encore nobody asked for.
Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.
Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.
Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.
Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.
Efficient, if your goal is chaos.
Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters on his very first day back in office, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Law and order, except when it’s inconvenient.
At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.
His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.
Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.
Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone.
His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.
You’re paying for this. Not China. You.
Now sitting at one of the lowest approval ratings of his second term, stuck in the high 30s while inflation and gas prices make everyday life harder.
None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.
It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
So, the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out. VIA~ Debrina Elkins

@jammles9 The SAVE ACT fight is fake, always was.

It’s designed to make you furious.

There is no plan to pass it.

Republican politicians are playing you.

It’s designed to distract you from increased debt, war, inflation, and further usurpations of your rights.

This entire government should be burned to the ground.

Tom Seaver left much of his personal collection to the Hall of Fame when he passed away, ensuring his story would be told forever in Cooperstown.

Today the President of the United States paid a woman $5 million for sexually assaulting her.

Tell me more about how the Epstein files are a Democrat hoax.

@MrChuckD Amazing 👏

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal.

There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

The public, and all who knew and loved the victim, deserve a full, independent investigation.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.

ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Tubman risked her own life and safety many times to save others from the horrors of slavery. She’s truly one of the greatest Americans who has ever lived. Tubman was everything Trump is not - brave, fearless, intelligent, humble and selfless.

Trump says without him, Israel would be "eviscerated."

"I can control Israel- they will do as I say."

The world is being ran by 13 year old girls.

[Mark C. Healey @MarkCHealey]

If Steve Phillips or Omar Minaya were the architect of this team, most #Mets fans would be calling for him to be fired. Yet, because the #Mets architect is David Stearns, there is more of a divide because the latter's process is "advanced."

Bad baseball is bad baseball, no matter the recipe.

This team has a serious lack of depth, poor fundamentals, and, almost on a nightly basis, an ineffective offense that looks overmatched.

Many of us are called "stupid" because we measure success by wins and losses.

We are lectured to (and at), because we don't "understand" and should "trust the process" because it's "bad luck" that the players, coaches, and manager that the POBO hand-picked are not performing at any acceptable level.

The Mets are a bad team. Even when they show signs of life, as they did against the Braves, they take three steps back.

That's what bad teams do.

It's hard to imagine anyone keeping their jobs after two years of terrible baseball. But most insiders believe very little will change, even if the team drops 90-plus games.

There's nothing advanced about that. It's simply unacceptable.

DONALD TRUMP IS THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY!

Whoop, Oura, and Apple Watch are trying to solve a problem you don't have.

Go to bed on time.
Lift weights.
Show up for your kids.
Read books.
Have sex.
Eat vegetables.
Take a long walk with no destination.

Live your life like a real human.

Jalen Brunson post Game 4: "Before we start…

My thoughts & prayers are with a friend of mine I got to meet last week. Jonathan from North Carolina. From Make a Wish Foundation

They asked me to make a video. But something told me to Facetime…

I got the pleasure to do so…Quick call but well worth it.

My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family…

May God rest his soul"
