@FBIDirectorKash That’s just a flash in the pan compared to what you’ve done, Mr. Patel. Get real.

[Ruth Peeples @RLPeeples2009]

@FBIDirectorKash That means you, too! Repay all the taxpayer money you have stolen.

@billmaher Jealous?

@SarahWorkx He was busy.

Trump has manage to funnel more taxpayer dollars into his personal coffers than any other president. From charging outrageous rates for the secret service to protect him on his own properties to weekly golf outings and trips to Mar a Lago adding millions to the national debt. While cutting back on health and nutrition programs he is spending millions for gold plating, flag poles, cage fighting arena, arches and Whitehouse demolition he now claims to need a billion$ to complete.
He has but his name on so many landmarks that will all have to be removed when he leaves office: more costs to taxpayers. He is making more public lands available to private interest to exploit.
He is putting govt funds into deals that support his family's business interests. He is demanding millions to pay off the criminals who backed his insurrection.
He is pardoning criminals and forgiving the millions in restitution and fines they were obligated to pay. Instead money is being diverted to his campaign treasury, a clear case of selling pardons.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg. We won't really know how much he is getting away with until there is a forensic audit. But clearly he has blown more taxpayer dollars than any president before him and at sums equal to all the others combined.
He has grifted more taxpayer dollars better than any other president. And this doesn't cover what he is doing to destroy traditions and institutions that made America great.

@TheExtremeMusi1 Groundbreaking.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Seems like a bait and switch. After predictable outcry, Trump DOJ pulls back slush fund for insurrectionists, but retains tax immunity for Trump. Was that the plan all along? It’s all corrupt.

@WilliamShatner A very dumb question. Probably a bot.

Wow.

Why this does not concern more Americans is so strange to me.

Thinking of my friend Alexei Navalny and his family today. He would have turned 50 today.

@Keltic_Spirit @KenPaxtonTX And you are uneducated. And a bot.

[Ruth Peeples @RLPeeples2009]

@Keltic_Spirit @KenPaxtonTX You must be a bot.

[Ruth Peeples @RLPeeples2009]

@BeschlossDC I’ll never get over what happened in 1968.

[Ruth Peeples @RLPeeples2009]

@KenPaxtonTX He is none of those things, Mr. Paxton and you know it. You appear to be frightened of his charisma and rising poll numbers. You, Sir, need to pay attention to the needs of the people of Texas. Nothing more.
