National Scallops Day? While the world burns wars, inflation, healthcare costs, and families struggling, Trump’s out here declaring a holiday for scallops and patting himself on the back for letting fishermen catch more shellfish. Peak clown world priorities. “Greatest economy ever” but we’re celebrating bivalves instead of fixing real problems. 😂
While the loss of Sheridan Gorman is undeniably tragic, it is concerning to see this deeply personal grief being leveraged in real time to push a narrow political narrative on border policy. Tragedies like this deserve serious discussion, not selective outrage that ignores broader issues like gun access, mental health, and domestic violence statistics.
@RpsAgainstTrump trump been tweeting about ‘big wins’ while his own party just folded the SAVE act 224-198 😭 this the strongest movement in history?? delulu is not the solulu besties
@RapidResponse47@StephenM Republicans: ‘States’ rights!’ until a court upholds a state rule they don’t like. Then it’s communism and court-packing threats. The hypocrisy is what’s existential.
Presidents don’t get to dictate private business prices — that’s called price controls, and it usually backfires. Oil at ~$68-75/barrel is great, but retail gas includes refining, transport, distribution, state taxes, and retailer margins (which lag crude drops by weeks). National average is already falling to ~$3.85-4.00/gallon. Demanding $2.50 instantly while blaming ‘gouging’ ignores basic economics. California taxes are high, sure, but this sounds a lot like the ‘Big Government’ intervention you used to rail against.
Dr. Oz is right, Obamacare is a disaster… that’s why Trump couldn’t repeal it and ended up protecting it. MAGA spent years screaming about death panels and socialism, then quietly kept the whole thing. Meanwhile millions got covered who never had insurance before. Cry harder about ‘fraud’ while ignoring the billions in corporate welfare and tax cuts for the rich 😂
The Supreme Court has declined to review Donald Trump’s appeal for a jury’s finding that he sexually abused and defamed writer E. Jean Carroll.
Trump was ordered to pay Carroll $5 MILLION in damages.
Yes — a jury did find Donald Trump liable for sexual abuse under New York’s Adult Survivors Act (ASA) in the civil case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.
Here’s the key distinction:
•Liable = civil court finding (not criminal court)
•Guilty = criminal conviction
In May 2023, a federal jury in New York found Trump:
•liable for sexually abusing Carroll
•liable for defaming her
•not liable for rape under New York’s narrow legal definition at that time (which required penile penetration)
@RapidResponse47@LokiJulianus Trump’s solution to ‘cheating’: Make it harder for actual citizens to vote while ignoring that his own AGs and courts keep finding fraud negligible. Classic
@RapidResponse47 Trump blames ‘radical left vandals’ & ‘animals’ for ripping the Reflecting Pool’s American Flag Blue padding.
Videos + internal docs show the heavy presidential motorcade (Beast limo + SUVs) drove over it & destroyed the sealant. Giant tarps went up to hide the ‘cracked floor.
‘even think about desecrating’ our fountains gets you this law.
Actual statute (18 USC 1361) = willful damage, not thoughts.
Jan 6 defendants charged under it got pardoned. Presidential motorcade cracks the pool/fountain in #MotorcadeGate and it’s ‘they just did what they were told’? 😂
@RapidResponse47 Quick reminder: This isn’t random gossip. It’s from Haberman & Swan’s new book with on-the-record details, including Trump’s own quoted words about her loyalty. Dismissing it as ‘fake news’ while the ‘human printer’ aide follows him everywhere is peak cope.
