🚨HOLY SHIT: Kaitlan Collins just gave the perfect explanation for why Trump attacks her.
“I think he surrounds himself with people who praise him or laugh at his jokes…”
Ouch!
“when he’s confronted with someone who is asking a challenging question… I think he doesn’t like it, and he lashes out over it.”
She absolutely nailed it.
@SpeakerJohnson@Judy1732243 You could ban stock trading by U.S. Representatives tomorrow with a simple change to House rules. It wouldn’t even have to go through the Senate or be signed by the President.
Instead you put this political gimmick up for a vote which had a poison pill for Dems in it - Voter ID.
Michele Fiore raised $70,000 to build a statue for a Las Vegas cop killed in the line of duty. She spent it on cosmetic surgery, her rent, and her daughter’s wedding. A jury convicted her in two hours. Trump pardoned her before she was ever sentenced.
Fuentes: “JD Vance is basically a Manchurian Candidate — and who is the power behind him? The Tech Oligarchs. Especially at this fever pitch with A.I., I think that’s really dangerous. Vance owes his entire political career to Peter Thiel, who derives his fortune from Palantir.”
Edward Norton explains why he's concerned about American exceptionalism
"I don't want to use too harsh a word but I think if you're lucky enough to travel, you'll see something that I don't think a lot of Americans do"
"We have this enduring narrative of American exceptionalism you know like America's cultural superiority"
"I don't think people fully grasp the degree to which we're going to ghettoize ourselves in terms of education, in terms of health, and in so many other areas"
"You know, we're not anywhere near the top of what other people are experiencing"
"If we keep embracing this idea of pride in regression, where is that going to take us?"
"It's not going to take us to a place that we're happy about for our kids"
Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley:
"The last weeks we as a law enforcement community have been receiving endless complaints about civil rights violations in our streets from US citizens. What we're hearing is they're being stopped in traffic stops or on the street with no cause and being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they are here legally.
We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints as they fell victim to this while off duty. Every one of these individuals is a person of color ... it has to stop"
Congress is not serious.
We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…
BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.
Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,
but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.
Sanna Marin, ex-Première ministre de Finlande :
« La Finlande a 1300 km de frontière avec la Russie et une histoire de voisinage très sanglante.
L’Ukraine se bat pour nous tous, pour toutes nos valeurs. »
What is the red line,
if it wasn't January 6th.
It wasn't orchestrating a government coverup of the Epstein files, or transferring Ghislaine Maxwell.
It wasn't demolishing the East Wing for a ballroom.
It wasn't threatening our northern ally with being the "51st state."
It wasn't blowing up boats and killing foreign citizens at sea.
It wasn't invading a foreign country and capturing its leader. Or threatening to "take' Greenland.
It wasn't setting up a $1.8 billion dollar fund of taxpayer dollars for J6 criminals.
It wasn't starting a war in Iran with no strategy, or plan.
It wasn't selling off 3 million acres of America's protected national monuments in Utah.
What is the red line?
Will it be seizing voting machines and deploying armed ICE agents to polling places to steal an election?
What is the red line, America.
Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing.
Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000.
The conservative Heritage Foundation found only 77 non- citizens voted nationwide since 1999! And every case was prosecuted.
Non- citizens voting is very rare in the United States.
Mr Trump has gotten the US into a quagmire. There is no way to open the Strait of Hormuz without a major intervention with US ground forces. It would be a significant combat operation to take down the 200,000 IRGC… 600,000 Army. Doable. Casualties. A year.
