@smc429 The least scary @karolineleavitt has ever looked since she had her spine surgically removed and went for that Frankenstein’s monster look that dumb sluts from MAGA seem to be going for.
Trump buddy and MAGAt @realMikeLindell's has a neo-Nazi problem...Mein Kampf? Mein Kampforter?
When MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell slashed the price of his signature pillow from $50 down to exactly $14.88, he triggered immediate outrage—and for good reason. In the lexicon of hate groups, "1488" is not a random sequence of digits. It is one of the most notorious, explicit neo-Nazi symbols in existence:
- "14" represents the "14 Words," a white supremacist slogan.
- "88" stands for "Heil Hitler" (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet).
Lindell fiercely denied the allegations, dismissed the backlash, and claimed $14.88 was just a standard retail price point meant to compete with big-box stores like Walmart. However, critics and watchdog groups like the Anti-Defamation League point out that a massive national brand should be well aware of hate symbols—or at least change the price once the horrific connection is exposed. Instead, Lindell doubled down, refusing to alter the marketing campaign.
Whether it was a deliberate nod to extremists or an act of profound corporate negligence, the refusal to pull the ad speaks volumes. It shows exactly how corporate marketing can platform hate, intentionally or otherwise.

REAKING: Elizabeth Warren corners Trump's Fed chair nominee on who wrote him a $100 MILLION check just before his nomination – and he REFUSES to answer!
One of the strangest exchanges in Washington this week had nothing to do with Donald Trump's election speech. It involved Kevin Warsh, Trump's nominee to chair the Federal Reserve, and a simple question from Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
"Who gave you a hundred-million-dollar check before you were sworn in?" Warren asked. Warsh didn't answer. Instead, he repeatedly pointed to ethics disclosures and his obligations to the Office of Government Ethics.
Warren kept pressing. "Was it a billionaire who has business with the Fed?" she asked. "Was it Stanley Druckenmiller who's made billions of dollars betting on what the Fed does? Or was it a different billionaire? Who gave you the money?"
Crickets. And Warren was pissed.
"A hundred million dollars that you got just before you were sworn in, and you won't tell the American people where it came from," Warren repeated. "Somebody wrote you a check for more than a hundred million dollars."
Before we jump to conclusions, let’s remember that Warsh is as rich as a Rockefeller, and a $100 million transaction may not not be as unusual as it sounds to ordinary Americans. The former Morgan Stanley banker is married to Jane Lauder, heiress to the Estée Lauder fortune. Warsh is perhaps the wealthiest person ever nominated to lead the Federal Reserve.
The transaction could have been the sale of assets, liquidation of investments, a trust distribution, or any number of other financial transactions associated with a fortune of that size.
That said, the Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in the world, whose decisions affect interest rates, stock prices, bond markets, mortgages, and the broader economy.
When someone poised to wield all that power receives a nine-figure payment immediately before taking office and declines to identify the source, people naturally start asking questions.
Warsh may have a perfectly innocent explanation for the transaction – some financial arrangement common among the ultra-wealthy. But if that's the case, why the hell didn't he just give it?
Sadly, the exchange has become a hallmark of the Trump era. Congress asks a direct question, and Trump's nominees increasingly respond as though the question itself is an affront.
Confirmation hearings exist for a reason. The Senate's constitutional duty is not to applaud nominees or rubber-stamp them but to scrutinize them on behalf of the American people.
Yet time and again, Trump's appointees have treated that process with open disrespect and disdain, refusing to answer straightforward questions, changing the subject, attacking the motives of the questioner, or hiding behnd carefully crafted talking points.
Elizabeth Warren asked Kevin Warsh a simple question: who gave him a big bag of money just before he took office?
Rather than answer it, Warsh behaved as though Congress was not entitled to know.
@PeteHegseth has a severe obsession with the biological makeup of the men under his control. What does the drunkard adulterer want more, the men, or the control... or both. #opinion#4AU
