Lawmakers don’t need stock trading to support their income. They need to do their damn jobs. Absolute grifter mentality. When they finish “serving” our country, they can go make all the money they want. Not sure how this is even a discussion.
BLANCHE: "The United States...is hereby FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting or pursuing...examinations or similar or related reviews" against Trump "or related or affiliated individuals," including family members or related companies and trusts.
A mind-blowing-but-true fact about Trump's stock trading.
Trump traded up to ~$700 million in stock in Q1 of 2026.
The 535 Members of Congress made ~$635 million in trades in 2025.
Trump bought and sold more stock in 3 months than all of Congress put together did in a year.
@SdlubleR@ZadeSmith4@JayTC53 Couple questions: what was Trump working with the feds in 2000 for? I can’t find anything relating to the Epstein case. Also, just because Epstein was arrested during Trumps term doesn’t mean anything; it was brought forth by NY investigators. Unless I’m missing something?
President Trump tells me in a phone call the retaliatory strikes against Iranian targets are just a "love tap."
"It's just a love tap."
When I asked if it means the ceasefire is over.
"No, no, the ceasefire is going. It's in effect."

Democrats are, once again, punting on what to do about Israel.

@BlackLabelAdvsr@dougboneparth So everyone in Iran is evil? You want to use a tactical nuke to eliminate evil, but how many innocents also die? That tradeoff is worth it to you?
There is evil everywhere.
@BlackLabelAdvsr I’d love to continue this conversation. I want to understand your viewpoint. Feel free to DM (I cannot dm since I do not pay for verification)
@BlackLabelAdvsr@dougboneparth I cannot condone genocide or “a whole civilization with die tonight” for future generations or really any other excuse. In what world does that make sense and how is that different from Hitler?
@BlackLabelAdvsr@dougboneparth So we are bombing civilian infrastructure for total control? When did we become expansionist? I thought we were about deglobalization?
Hurting China is one I have not heard before
@BlackLabelAdvsr@dougboneparth I guarantee the “whole civilization” does not support the regime. What’s the point of us over there again? I can’t keep up with the excuses.
President Donald J. Trump posted to Truth Social just minutes ago, stating, "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will."
