BREAKING: Donald Trump face-plants on his first day back on the job with a humiliating geography blunder in front of reporters — immediately reminding Americans why they voted him out in the first place.
This man knows absolutely nothing...
A reporter asked Trump about his previous demand that NATO countries increase their military budgets to more than double, particularly as it relates to Spain.
"Spain is very low. Are they a BRICS nation?" Trump asked.
"What?" the confused reporter responded.
"They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. You know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out," Trump added confidently — and incorrectly.
BRICS is an intergovernmental economic association. It stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa but also includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.
The "S" does not stand for Spain because Spain is not a member nation of the bloc.
"But uh, and if the BRICS nations want to do that, that’s OK, but we’re gonna put at least a 100 percent tariff on the business they do with the United States," Trump added, oblivious to his embarrassing mistake.
This is the man that MAGA voters have entrusted to keep us safe. He can't even be bothered to do the basic homework for the job. He's a lazy ignoramus and this term is going to be an unmitigated disaster.

legal experts Confirmed that congress has the right to cancel Donald Trump's inauguration and stop him from taking office because The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president.
BREAKING: Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele rips into Morning Joe Scarborough for bowing down and kissing Donald Trump after calling him a "fascist."
He said what all of us are thinking...
"Joe, you had your moment, let me just finish my point," Steele said as Scarborough rambled on about the importance of civility.
"I get that, but I'm telling you something you seem to forget so, let me make my point, you may not like it but I'm going to make it," said Steele.
"And the reality of it is, I take your civility argument, you like to say 78 million people voted for Donald Trump, well 82 million people voted for Joe Biden and he didn't get that civility that you're talking about from Donald Trump in those four years," said Steele.
"So now the expectation is, because he has won again and he's got 78 million people, we all have to be civil to Donald Trump, well okay, I'm prepared to be civil––" he went on.
"Nobody said that," interjected Scarborough. "I didn't say everybody has to stay civil."
"But the reality is, no, you are using the term civil, I'm using your term, you put civility on the table," Steele fired back.
"But, Joe, I'm just saying... Fine, I'm not talking about that," Steele continued. "My main point is, everybody is looking at this from a one-way perspective; how we need to approach Donald Trump. How is he approaching us? The man wants to lock up citizens, the man wants to turn the government against them, how are we supposed to respond to that? Are we supposed to be civil?"
The answer, of course, is no. Donald Trump is incapable of civility and deserves none from the rest of us. We will continue to call out his bigotry, fascism, and incompetence no matter how much it offends his MAGA snowflakes.

BREAKING: Hollywood superstar Mark Ruffalo urges President Biden to make history by taking decisive action on deadly "forever chemicals" before he leaves office and Trump gets in.
This would be an incredible capstone to Biden's legacy...
"The EPA has worked their butts off, against all odds, to get a drinking water standard on this particular chemical class," Ruffalo said during a webinar hosted by the Environmental Working Group.
"Now the Biden administration just has to close the loop and hold the people responsible who have killed people," he went on.
Ruffalo was referring to synthetic compounds known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The substances can linger in the human body and environments for long periods of time. They're used in countless household items as well as industrial discharge. They've been linked to numerous health problems including several forms of cancer.
"We’ve been to the White House with families who’ve lost children from these diseases, and they continue to compile in our bodies," Ruffalo continued.
"The problem now is [the federal government] still are protecting these companies from accountability,” he added.
To date, the Biden administration has taken some crucial steps to address the problem. His EPA has designated two kinds of PFAS as hazardous under the "Superfund" law — which makes it easier to force polluting parties to pay for their actions.
Last week, the EPA also put out a new regulation to prevent PFAS from being approved through Low Volume Exemptions.
Ruffalo and his activist compatriots want President Biden to go even further by supporting a new rule about PFAS in wastewater discharges.
"The Biden administration has finally done the right thing, more than any other administration in the United States in the decades that have passed," said Ruffalo.
He went on to say that the "bad news" is that the discharge proposal is "getting hung up right now in the Biden administration."
"It’s been sitting there for a long time, and it is the taxpayers and the communities downstream who are still repeatedly paying the price for this," Ruffalo added.

That comment is exactly why SCOTUS needs:
1) Term limits;
2) An independently enforceable ethics code; and
3) To be expanded to 12 justices so as to equal the number of Court of Appeals districts.
Right now, there is absolutely no accountability and no means of preventing the "runaway" court from continuing to make rulings that are in furtherance of changing our country into a theocracy.
Our forefathers created a system where there were checks and balances on all three divisions of government. They never envisioned that the Supreme Court would ignore decades long precedent in order to promote political activism.
The System has been completely corrupted by a man who would be king and a minority who would subjugate the right of anyone who fails to agree with them and does not look or act just like them.
That is the definition of fascism!
🚨🚨🚨TRUMP SHOOTING UPDATE:
The FBI confirms that the Republican who shot Trump used an AR-15.
The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.
The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.
The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.
This is what we need to scream everywhere:
If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.
We have the answer. It’s the guns.
BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.
When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office.
I knew he was old.
I knew he had a stutter.
I knew he had a rep for "gaffes."
I didn't care. Just wanted trump gone.
Four years later, things are different.
I wasn't expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime.
I wasn't expecting him to help expand NATO.
I wasn't expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers.
I wasn't expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs.
I wasn't expecting him to bring manufacturing back.
I wasn't expecting him to forgive student debt.
But he did ALL those things, and more.
He surpassed my expectations by a lot.
And he has more planned for 2025-2028.
He's not a master orator,
He doesn't move so smoothly
But neither did FDR from his wheelchair.
Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat.
He wants to be a dictator.
He wants to stay out of prison.
He wants revenge on his enemies.
He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy.
His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions.
His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends.
His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE.
We might never have another free election.
THAT is what is at stake in this election.
We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it.
If you're looking for someone who's young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.
I'll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.
BREAKING: A new audio recording exposes Donald Trump talking about how "you can be evil" and it doesn't matter so long as you "have ratings," perfectly summarizing his vile worldview.
And it gets even worse...
"You can be nice, or you can be mean. You can be evil. You can be horrible. You can be crude or elegant. There’s only one thing that matters and that’s ratings. If you don’t have ratings, it doesn’t matter," Trump says in the audio.
He was boasting about how he could easily land a TV show after leaving the presidency because ratings are all that matter to places like NBC.
The audio was recorded in an interview by Ramin Setoodeh, who wrote a biography about Trump called "Apprentice in Wonderland."
"If I went back to NBC right now to do something, they would do anything I wanted to do, showbiz wise," Trump said.
"Because one thing I know about that business — and I learned more about that business than anybody else could learn in a short period of time. It’s about one thing: ratings. If you have ratings, you can be the meanest, most horrible human being in the world. There’s only one thing that matters: ratings," said Trump.
Trump's rotten view on television extends to his views on everything else. He's perfectly fine being evil so long as he accumulates more power. This man has no moral compass. He belongs in prison, not the White House.

BREAKING: Donald Trump completely freaks out on Fox News shortly after they release a poll showing that President Biden is pulling ahead of him with voters.
Trump's campaign is falling apart and he refuses to believe it...
"Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse," he went on. "As a team, they never had a chance. Rupert and Lachlan, get that dog off your Board - You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
He followed it up with another post hours later saying that "FoxNews Polls are always the worst for me. They have been from the beginning, and always will be!"
The poll in question was conducted from June 14 to June 17 and found a 3 point change in the race since May. Trump went from being ahead by 1% to Biden leading by 2% at 50% to 48%.
Since Trump was convicted at the end of May, it's likely that this polling shift is a direct result of voters rejecting the idea of electing a convicted felon.
While the numbers fall within the margin of error, the poll was clearly enough to infuriate Trump who is pathologically incapable of considering the fact that the might lose this election. He needs to believe that this country loves him when in fact most of us hate him.
