He started at $250M and “I’ll pay,” then “it’s free,” then “no taxpayer cost,” and now it’s a $1B taxpayer-funded fortified bunker. Only in this timeline does being president include requesting a public-funded villain origin lair.

@factpostnews Inflation? How about salad? Today we paid $7 for a 10 ounce box of mixed greens @HarrisTeeter . So, is 10 oz only the greens, or did it include the box weight too. Seven dollars. Every bag of potatoes there was $5. Sheesh. Sure hope it doesn't get worse

@JamesParm21269 @ryanmouquegolf I had a teaching pro stop by my sim, with this hands advice. Get them back to your trail heal. Ryan your illustrations are sooo helpful, and I can identify with many of the "red" swing no-no's. It's difficult and feels weird to change.

Trump administration makes Trump's birthday a free-admission day for national parks while canceling free admission for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth, according to park service web site. @Katmarwong

@allenanalysis Please tell me this isn't true. National Parks should honor all days that civil rights are celebrated.

For those of you not familiar with David Gentile, do you remember Bernie Madoff?

David Gentile did the exact same thing and Trump let him go.

But remember, he’s tough on crime.

Trump Frees Executive in $1.6 Billion Fraud Case Just 12 Days Into 7-Year Sentence, Leaving 10,000 Victims Waiting

🚨President Donald J. Trump commuted the prison term of David Gentile, who led GPB Capital, less than two weeks after he began serving a seven-year sentence in a $1.6 billion fraud that prosecutors said harmed more than 10,000 investors, according to federal records.

Donald Trump has been exposed once again as a liar. He claims that the drug dealer and former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, whom he now wants to pardon, was set up by Joe Biden, yet the investigation that put him in jail started in 2015 and continued through Trump’s own presidency.

At first, Trump even pretended that he did not know who the drug dealer was when he was asked about him on Air Force One.🤣🤣🤣

It completely destroys his claim of being tough on drugs when he wants to pardon a man who helped traffic over 400 tonnes of cocaine into the United States, proving his so-called anti-narcotics stance to be nothing but hollow political theatre he needs as an excuse to attack Venezuela.

Journalist: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US.

Trump: Right.

Journalist: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?

Trump: I don’t know who you are talking about.

Journalist: Juan Orlando Hernandez.

Trump: Many of the people of Honduras said it was a Biden setup. I looked at the facts and agreed with them.

Journalist: What evidence can you share that it was a setup?

Trump: You can take any country you want, if somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.

So is Nicolás Maduro Moros the president of Venezuela selling drugs? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trump just commuted the 7-year sentence of David Gentile, a private equity leader who helped defraud thousands of people out of some $1.6 billion, almost as soon as his prison stint began.

More than 1,000 people submitted statements attesting to their losses, according to prosecutors, who characterized the victims as "hardworking, everyday people," including small business owners, farmers, veterans, teachers and nurses.

"I lost my whole life savings," one wrote, adding, "I am living from check to check."

ABC's @marykbruce deserves a lot of credit for asking these questions. When Trump insulted her news outlet, she calmly responded, "But the question is important, sir."

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Reporter: "Your Royal Highness, U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office..."

Trump: "Who are you with?"

Reporter: "I'm with ABC News."

Trump: "Fake news…As far as this gentleman is concerned, he's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning someone who was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen."

That’s the dance you make when you got a $40 billion bailout from the US two weeks before your election, in front of people who just went all the way to the Supreme Court to avoid feeding Americans.

ICE detained this non verbal special needs man in Little Village.Chicago and they were extremely violent with him when he’s unable to speak to them or let them know he’s an American citizen! They’re going to be sued for this one and I pray he’s okay! 🤬🔥

O’Donnell: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?

Trump: I think they haven’t gone far enough.
