Trump’s draconian cuts to health care, education, and foreign aid were rationalized on balancing the budget.

Yet thanks to his tax cuts for the rich, the deficit is on track to hit almost 7% of GDP by 2036.

Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing.

Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000.

This would be a huge scandal for any other president.

A South Korean company challenging Commerce Department trade penalties paid Donald Trump’s holding company $2,000,000 last year.

The payment came from Base Group, the lead investor in Korea Aluminium, which faced penalties after the Commerce Department found that South Korean companies were circumventing trade duties on Chinese-made aluminum. The money surfaced in Trump’s annual financial disclosure released in late June.

The disclosure described it only as a nonrefundable development fee tied to a letter of intent. The Trump Organization says it relates to an unannounced golf course project.

Base Group has courted the Trump family for nearly a decade. It sells Trump-branded wine in South Korea and hosted Eric Trump at its Seoul headquarters in February, where executives discussed expanding trade between the two countries.

As recently as last month, the Commerce Department was weighing whether to raise tariffs further on Korea Aluminium. A preliminary review released last week sided with American aluminum companies. The agency that decides this company’s fate answers to the president. The president took $2,000,000 dollars from its largest investor.

This is one payment. Trump’s holding company collected at least $125,000,000 from foreign sources last year, from more than a dozen countries.

Every president in modern history stepped away from their business to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. This president kept nearly 30 ventures with foreign partners and now profits from companies whose fortunes his own government controls.

This cannot be normalized.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

What does a post-election audit look like?

In Arizona, the political parties randomly select batches of boxes.

Then, volunteers from the political parties sit in pairs of two (R and D) and they hand tally the selected ballots.

Then they compare that count with the sealed machine count.

Why is this important?

Because if the machines were hacked, or poorly programmed, or malfunctioned, then it would be revealed in the audit hand count.

......

Georgia was even more intense in November 2020.

It recounted every single ballot.

THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.

What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."

England/Norway game shows why soccer sucks.
- Eng flops. Takes away a Nor goal
- Haaland gets mugged on corners but won’t go down. No penalty.
- limited subs + Miami heat = everyone cramps and walks the second half
- Best team lost

@RpsAgainstTrump Maybe he forgot about the one in May

An outrageous attack on press freedom.

The Trump administration subpoenaed several New York Times reporters Friday after the paper reported on security concerns surrounding Trump’s new Qatari-donated Air Force One.

Federal agents showed up at the reporters’ homes to serve the subpoenas.

What has America become?
