SEN. @RonWyden: “Trump has set the new high water mark for public corruption… everybody in 🇺🇸 is subject to IRS audit except the Trumps. I take it as an admission of his own guilt when it comes to tax cheating. Trumps have stuffed every dollar they can into their pockets.”
WATCH — @ShawnRyan762 on Trump’s absurd corruption: “He had Todd Blanche do the dirty work and made it so him and anyone his family could never be audited by the IRS. What the fuck is that? Does this shit look like he’s serving the fucking people? NO.”
How did Donald Trump give himself, his family, and their businesses a Super Pardon for all their crimes, back taxes, fines, and other payments due to the federal government?
Meet Todd Blanche, Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer now assigned to the Department of Justice, who gave his boss and former client, Donald Trump, a family-sized stack of get-out-of-jail-free cards.
This is textbook corruption. Trump bought UFC’s parent company stock while promoting an upcoming UFC fight on the White House lawn.
Using the people's house for personal profit isn't leadership — it's grift. The American people deserve better.

Here’s Fuckface going full Hitler, calling the press the “enemy of the people” because he’s a miserable fucking failure & gets all butthurt if anyone asks a real question. But the child-raping sack of shit’s got it all wrong. HE is the enemy of the people.
A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
We all watched it live on TV.
It was the most recorded event (via multiple devices from cell phones to media live feeds) in modern history.
It's literally un-erasable!

I find it interesting that Trump supporters have never seen these videos. They claim there is no footage of that day. 😳 I watched it in real time on TV when it was happening, just like Trump.
1. FYI, the footage is all over the internet.
2. You can CLEARLY see them breaking windows. The law says that’s breaking and entering.
3. I’ve been to the Capitol, you have to go through security to enter. You don’t enter through broken windows. That’s just a fact.
SEN. TILLIS (R): “These people don't deserve restitution. Many of them deserve to be in prison. This is just stupid on stilts. Republicans need to speak up. This is beyond the pale… This is bad policy, bad timing, bad politics.”

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

If you honestly believe that any of the violent 1,600 rioters that stormed the Capitol and beat cops with flagpoles and fire extinguishers on January 6th deserves ONE CENT of our hard-earned tax dollars, you are a DISGRACE and an asshole.
Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
@BauerOutage Please go on Joe Rogan's podcast. Tell the story. Being blacklisted like Kapernick was. Cy Young to sayonara. If you were legally acquitted from the investigations why wasn't your MLB suspension lifted?
