BREAKING: LOL! The Daily Show destroys Ivanka Trump for failing to "read the room" by bragging about her private Epstein-esque island as Americans struggle just to afford groceries.

Marie Antoinette had more tact that this...

“It seems like every day, there’s more depressing news about the economy,” said Anchor Michael Kosta. “Gas is $5 a gallon. Raspberries are $8 a pint, which sucks because my backup plan was to fill up my car with smoothie. Now, despite all this, it’s inspiring to know that even in these tough times, there are everyday Americans out there who are still able to make it work...”

The show played footage of Ivanka boasting about the $1.4 billion luxury hotel that she and her corrupt husband Jared Kushner are developing on an Albanian island in the Adriatic Sea. That would be the same Kushner who sold out our foreign policy to Saudi Arabia in return for a $2 billion investment in his firm after Donald Trump's first term.

Thankfully, the people of Albania are rising up against Kushner and Ivanka with widespread protests and growing calls for a full-scale investigation into the project. It turns out that working class people don't take kindly to foreign oligarchs sweeping into their country with ill-gotten capital to snatch up coveted local real estate.

“Let’s give it up for this couple," said Kosta, clapping mockingly. “And for those of you who are thinking, hey, before buying a private island, shouldn’t billionaires maybe read the room? What you don’t understand is, the island doesn’t have rooms yet. They can’t lay the foundation for those rooms until they burn down all those stupid trees, OK?”

The fact that Ivanka feels comfortable rubbing this development in our collective face as her father forces us to penny-scrape, cut back on expenses, and go without vacations because of his tariffs and pointless Iran War is absolutely infuriating. It just shows that these people live in a completely different world. It's not just that they don't care about our financial suffering, they don't think about it at all.

“We were on a friend’s boat, and we stopped for a swim. Effectively, that’s how we found it," Ivanka said. "We swam to the islands. We went on a hike, barefoot all the way, up to the top. And we were just captivated.”

“I feel ya, girl. I feel ya," mocked Kosta. "Been there, done that, except instead of the Mediterranean, I was swimming in the Hudson River. And the island I hiked barefoot was Staten Island. And instead of buying it, I stepped on a needle and got HPV. But I feel you. I feel you.”

Absurdly, Ivanka is trying to pitch the nakedly mercenary development as part of some personal spiritual journey, calling it a "tangible manifestation" of how she "wants to live."

“Come on, lady. You’re rich, and you bought an island! Just say that," said Kosta.

When Democrats retake power, we must launch full forensic investigations into all of these shady deals. It's high time these crooks were held accountable.

Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation!

BREAKING: Jamie Raskin reveals the Trumps think they are going to be the RICHEST FAMILY ON EARTH when this administration is over!”

On MSNBC with Jen Psaki, Rep. Jamie Raskin laid out exactly what Trump is trying to turn America into: an Orban - Putin - Xi style autocracy where the leader and his inner circle loot the government for personal enrichment.

“Basically, the idea is the guy who’s the lead autocrat gets his family and his close friends and business associates all the government contracts and gets them all wealthy,” Raskin said.

He then revealed this chilling detail: “I have a Republican colleague who told me he was at the White House and was told by someone from the Trump family, ‘we are going to be the richest family on earth when this administration is over.’”

This is the Trump presidency in a nutshell. It's not about public service, but a giant self-enrichment scheme. The family sees the White House as their personal cash register, and they make no pretenses about it.

From Kushner’s billion-dollar foreign deals to Eric Trump shilling for Pentagon contracts to Trump himself suing the IRS for $10 billion, the corruption is open, naked, and brazen. They are a wealth-creation machine. The proverbial fox in the chicken coop.

If want to see Trump and his family be called to account and forced pay back every penny they have grifted from the American people, please like and share.

BREAKING: Trump unloads on a group of children with a deranged Biden "autopen" rant, destroying what was supposed to be a sweet Easter event for the innocent kids.

This man shouldn't be allowed around children for about ten thousand reasons...

"I'll sign autographs... And then you can sell it for $25,000 on Ebay," Trump mumbled to a group of children while sitting beside them at a picnic table for the White House Easter Egg Roll.

"Can you sign mine?" asked some of the children, offering up their drawings.

"Caroline is the only one that doesn't want my autograph," Trump said, referring to a child who had not handed over her paper. "Zero! I would say Caroline has zero interest in my autograph."

"Oh that's nice!" said the alleged pedophile while looking at another child's drawing. "I think I'm going to sign this, that way I say I drew it. Look, I drew it. Look what I did everybody."

Trump joking about stealing credit for a child's picture is apropos since he regularly steals credit for the accomplishments of Joe Biden and Barack Obama. He's a pathological thief and conman, so even his "jokes" offer insight into his warped psyche. His instinct at all times is to steal.

"Biden would use the autopen," Trump told the children as he continued signing drawings. "He'd have an autopen follow him. If it was Joe Biden. He didn't sign— He was incapable of signing his name. So they'd follow him around with a big machine. You know what it was called? An autopen! And he'd have the autopen sign for him. He'd take the paper, hand it to his guys, they'd sign it with an autopen and give it back. Not too good right?"

A normal president in this situation would have talked about the drawings themselves, the Easter Bunny, eggs, literally anything other than a fringe MAGA conspiracy obsession.

As for the autopen allegations themselves, Trump's own Justice Department investigated and ultimately ruled that there was no case to prosecute. They abandoned the idea altogether.

Moving beyond how deeply inappropriate it is for a sitting president to rant about his political enemy to children, Trump's autopen fixation is telling. His presidency has proven to be such an unmitigated, historic failure that he's desperate for anything to make him feel superior to his predecessor.

As his own mind devolves into a cloud of dementia, Trump is trying to making himself feel better. It boils down to the sentiment: "Well, at least I sign my own documents." Of course, those documents are uniformly disastrous for the United States and he rarely, if ever, reads them. One need only look at his comments about the presidential pardons he's signed. He often has no idea who the person is or why he signed them. At this point, an autopen would make for a better president than Donald Trump.

Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump has dementia!

"Autrefois, j’étais belle, j’attirais les regards,
Sur mon glorieux passage, les hommes se retournaient,
Le monde et ses égards, oui, tout m’appartenait !

À présent, je suis vieille, j’ai perdu mon pouvoir.
J’ai reçu bien des roses ; leurs épines m’ont blessée,
Après les jours heureux suivaient les nuits glaciales,
J’ai affronté déserts, tempêtes, et chacals,
Et sans jamais plier, j’ai lutté, supporté.

Mais tous ces coups du sort, reçus en pleine face,
En laissant sur ma peau, d’indélébiles traces,
Ont fortifié mon âme, comme un muscle qui travaille.

Elle devenait plus belle, après chaque bataille !
Et vous tous qui pensez, sa beauté s’est fanée,
Emportée par le temps, eh bien vous vous trompez,
Car de cette sombre pierre qu’était mon cœur, avant,
Les intempéries de la vie en ont fait un diamant.

Derrière mes yeux, délavés par tant de larmes versées,
Et mes paupières ridées, usées par les tourments,
Se cache mon âme...
Regardez-la, et vous verrez,
Comme je suis belle, bien plus belle… qu’à vingt ans !"

Both Obama and Joe Biden were mocked mercilessly and never said a thing.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The problem the right apparently doesn’t recognize is that yall were elected to get grocery prices down, to get rent down, and get mortgage rates down.

Instead you’re sending electric bills through the roof, fueling inflation, and you’ve made home construction insanely more expensive through both tariffs and immigration policy. Oh and health care costs are soaring.

So people are significantly worse off in the ways that matter since you were elected.

And from the outside, all it looks like you care about doing is going after comedians who offend you and dictating what people can say and arming Israel to the teeth so it can keep committing a genocide people thought you would stop, and nobody can understand why it’s still happening.

So as the economy gets worse and worse, you’ll look more and more out of touch for spending all your time trying to censor speech and defend Israel.

But go ahead, get The View canceled. That’ll help!

Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.

Let me get this straight:

Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?

Release the Epstein files.

@GunnelsWarren @People4Bernie Treasury Secretary Bessent is a tool for the criminality of Trump.

Bessent ignores the tax gap in the USA that now stands at nearly 2 billion a day; most monies are owed by millionaires & billionaires.

IRS recently stopped enforcement of some questionable tax evasion schemes.

BREAKING: The White House melts down and attacks music legend Jack White after he insults Donald Trump's "disgusting" and "vulgar" redecoration of the White House — prompting White to unleash a scathing takedown for the ages.

MAGA should have just left well enough alone...

“Jack White is a washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career,” claimed White House spokesman Steven Cheung.

In truth, White is still enormously popular and successful, far more so than any of the actually washed up musicians and "celebrities" that
MAGA likes to trot out as Trump supporters.

“It’s apparent [White]’s been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House,'” Cheung added.

The idea that agreeing with Trump's infamously tacky interior design sensibilities is a prerequisite for being a "real artist" is laughable. Donald Trump has always had awful taste in aesthetics.

Cheung's remarks led to White posting a lengthy screed on Instagram, in which he listed off Trump's staggering number of failures and scandals—

"Listen, I’m an artist and not a politician so I’m in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I’m not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn’t me calling out trump’s blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous 'wall' construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake 'gunshot to the ear' that he showed no medical records or photographs of, his constant, constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. etc." White wrote.

"No, it wasn’t me calling out any of that, it was the f*cking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults," he continued. "How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? 'Masquerading as a real artist'? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here’s my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being."

"He’s masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy," he wrote. "He’s been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he’s involved in has prospered except by using other people’s money to find loophole
after loophole and grift after grift."

"His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and fomenting hatred and division in this country on a daily basis," White went on. "And I have 'ample time on (my) hands'? That orange grifter has spent more tax payer money cheating at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There is no progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy."

"So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain’t spending any money on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremacist country club rich idiot agenda," he continued."

"Wow, he hates who you hate....good for you, be proud of yourselves, how christian of you all," White went on.

"The only way you can support this conman is because you are a victim of the 2 party system and you 'defend your guy no matter what he does.'" he wrote. "No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankruptor of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc."

"This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over," wrote White. "This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality
television stars."

"Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves," he continued.

"And no I’m not a Democrat either, I’m a human being raised in Detroit, I’m an artist who’s owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief," he concluded before signing his name.

In his Instagram post, White also shared a photo of Trump hawking his ugly golden sneakers, one of Trump selling MAGA merchandise at the White House, and memes about Trump scandals. He also wrote a caption—

"I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world. I don't always state publicly my political opinions, and like anyone I don't always know all of the facts, but when it comes to this man and this administration I'm not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930's Germany. This man is a danger to not just America but the entire world and that's not an exaggeration, he's dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it. -JW III... 'To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.' - Theodore Roosevelt"

By just about any metric, this is one of most brutal, comprehensive takedowns of Donald Trump to date. Let's hope that the White House hits back again, so that Jack White has an excuse to tear into him even more.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Jack White for speaking the truth!

Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I am asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
*Congressional Reform Act of 2019*
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 7/1/19. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term's), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.
