Damn. @RepTedLieu just outright said it.
Yesterday, a STAT News item about an unnamed "79-year-old" patient receiving a new drug went viral, being as it was published just after Trump's 80th birthday party.
Lieu, who is not shy about challenging Trump in plain terms — and who ought to be an example for his colleagues on that front — questioned why the President decided to hold bipartisan housing legislation hostage in an ongoing attempt to rig the midterms.
"When Donald Trump decides he's not coming to sign the bill, well, why is that? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Is he unable to stay awake today? What's causing him to chicken out again? Is it TACO Wednesday, or is it side effects from a drug?" Lieu asked, but he was far from done with the topic.
After referencing Trump's increasingly erratic and reckless behavior, he continued.
"He has trouble staying awake at multiple White House events and cabinet meetings, he has clearly some weakness in one of his arms, he's got swelling in his hands, and the White House needs to come clean.
"[There was a] report saying that one person in America got this special new drug. It was a 79-year-old person who's very high profile, and this drug can only be given to someone under the compassionate use provision, meaning you do that if someone basically has a terminal illness," Lieu continued.
More Democrats need to be as bold and truthful as Rep. Lieu.
This is a Jenga block tower of gargantuan coverups, and we appear to be watching it slowly collapse.
Good. Keep pulling, America.
Ain’t no way Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are taking over Albania’s island to build a luxury resort. These people aren’t playing games. They understand their collective power and will burn it all down before they allow their land to be stolen. All power to the Albanian people!
If you touch water you are apprehended by police.
If you molest kids with Jeffrey Epstein you are moved to a luxury prison and considered for a pardon.
TRUMP’S AMERICA.
Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.
Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.
So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.
1/ Here it is - in one🧵
NEWS: Three-star Admiral Nancy Lacore just won a Democratic House primary in South Carolina.
She was fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Her story is a reminder that public service doesn’t begin or end with a job title.
Some people spend their lives looking for ways to contribute.
Others actually do it.
Show Admiral Lacore some love and leave a 💙.
BREAKING: A federal judge has permanently blocked the Trump administration from enforcing an executive order signed last year that required proof of citizenship to register to vote and demanded mail-in ballots be received by Election Day. https://t.co/I78dhdVBvz
You all know Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who spent a lot of his official time on the public payroll driving around the country filming a documentary that was funded by many of the corporations he’s supposed to regulate.
Tonight on the National Mall, he thanked the military band that performed at a 250th Anniversary Celebration and said they were “way better than those libtards that canceled on us.”
Secretary Duffy’s youngest daughter Valentina has Downs Syndrome, yet he’s perfectly comfortable standing there and throwing out “libtard,” a MAGA word used to degrade people, at a public event on the National Mall because that’s how debased, immoral, and vulgar the MAGA cult is.
Now we both saw him cook her, but I guarantee you five seconds after this she dismissed it all in her mind. They don’t carry that stuff. They don’t care. And that’s why they’re in a cult.
There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen.
trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at @TheJusticeDept are randomly going after people to soothe trump’s fragile ego.
MAGA CNN is doing a report that the heritage Foundation is trying to get tapes of Biden‘s interview where he seemed to be impaired and wants to make them public.
Meanwhile, we have a president who’s turning the White House into an excavation site, who’s walking into walls, wandering off and rambling and talking about blowing up the whole world and falling asleep in meetings. what is wrong you guys this is what happens when one person owns all the media.
Schwarzenegger is right. Once trump is gone and from his looks and actions it won’t be long, we will erase him from our collective memory. His name will come off everything. Courts will take back his ill gotten gains. His corrupt family will lose their wealth and they will go to prison.
He will not be mourned. His death will be celebrated and the worst chapter in our history will be recorded
I personally think that Epstein’s whole trafficking business is still going strong & thats why his property manager at the Island is still residing there where she was arrested on two separate occasions for kidnapping & assaulting men that were on & near the island recently.
Protesters in Albania have begun pushing construction barriers downhill in opposition to plans linked to the Kushner and Trump families’ proposed island development project.
The dispute is quickly becoming a flashpoint over who gets to decide the future of some of the country’s most valuable coastal land.
The locals are making their feelings known. 👀
1994:
Robin Leach: “What does Tiffany (age1) have of Marla’s?”
Trump: “…she’s a really beautiful baby. She’s got Marla’s legs and we don’t know whether or not she has this part (breasts) yet but time will tell.”
Note: Trump & Epstein were best pals & raping girls at that time.
