PET PEEVE: Illiterate parents who defend their child’s bad behavior. Must be a symptom of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Some parents refuse to believe their children could lie or behave badly. #CreatingMonsters
BREAKING: Mitch McConnell SLAMS Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists and pedophiles, calling it "utterly stupid" and "morally wrong."
Even a decrepit, evil, broken old clock is right twice a day...
“So the nation’s top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops?" McConnell said of Attorney General Todd Blanche. "Utterly stupid, morally wrong – Take your pick."
When the crypt keeper himself is saying that a Republican idea has gone too far, you know that it's bad. The slush fund has received intense backlash from Democrats, the broader American public, and now a growing number of Republican politicians.
“Imagine that, a fund that is set up to compensate people who assaulted Capitol Police officers and other responding agencies," said Republican Senator Thom Tillis. "People that had pled guilty to physical acts against the president may actually be able to get compensated. How absurd does that sound coming out of my mouth?”
The fund sets aside $1.776 billion worth of our tax dollars for disbursement to MAGA loyalists who were "targeted" by previous administrations. In practice, it means that our money will be going to January 6th insurrectionists as a reward for their efforts to overthrow our democracy.
When asked directly, Blanche refused to rule out the possibility that some of the slush money will go to sex offenders like Andrew Paul Johnson, a January 6th criminal who was pardoned by Trump. Johnson was freed and went on to molest two children. He promised them that if they remained silent, he would pay them when he inevitably received money from his President.
And while McConnell is absolutely right in his criticisms of this crooked slush fund, he has only himself to thank for the fallen, corrupted state of our politics. He devoted his life to empowering the far-right corporatist powers that Trump harnessed to bring fascism to America. Trump didn't spring out of nowhere. The Republican Party of Mitch McConnell laid the groundwork.
Please like and share to demand that Congress block the slush fund!
BREAKING: Three-time Trump voter from Hawaii calls C-SPAN in tears: “He’s the worst president we’ve ever had”!
A longtime Trump supporter from Hawaii just delivered a raw, emotional confession on C-SPAN that’s resonating across the country.
The caller, Thomas, who voted for Donald Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024, opened up about finally breaking with the man he once believed in:
“It’s hard for me to say this," Thomas said. "I wanted to believe Trump was the real deal for a long time. But now I regret my support for him and I should’ve known better.
"He’s a con man. A liar who doesn’t keep his promises. He’s in office all for himself and he doesn’t even try to hide his corruption anymore. He’s the worst president we’ve ever had and he’s the most corrupt president we’ve ever had.”
Thomas described his change of heart as a “cumulative process,” saying Trump’s broken promises on day-one fixes and the sheer blatancy of the corruption finally became impossible to ignore.
He even compared the cult-like hold to historical brainwashing, saying he never thought he’d see it in his lifetime.
He ended with a call to action:
“The only weapon is to vote for as many Democrats whether you like them or not… We just need some balance back into our system of checks and balances.”
This is a genuinely significant moment when a former MAGA voter publicly walking away and urging others to do the same for the good of the country. As time passes, thousands more lapsed MAGAts will inevitably do the same.
When even dedicated Trump voters from 2016-2024 start saying “I regret it” and “he’s the most corrupt president we’ve ever had,” the tide is clearly turning.
Good for you, Thomas. It takes real courage to admit you were wrong, especially after voting for someone three times. We respect you for speaking out. More Americans need to hear this.
If this powerful confession from a former Trump voter gives you hope that the ice is cracking, like and share this post.
He got the Strait closed, disrupted the entire global economy, exploded gas prices, wrecked our alliances, killed thousands of innocent people including young girls at a school, depleted American missile stockpiles, degraded our Middle East military bases, and destroyed America...
He got the Strait closed, disrupted the entire global economy, exploded gas prices, wrecked our alliances, killed thousands of innocent people including young girls at a school, depleted American missile stockpiles, degraded our Middle East military bases, and destroyed America’s global standing only to get the Strait reopened on Iran’s terms and potentially give them $20 billion. The art of the deal!
This was the moment that convinced me it was a staged event...
How else do you explain the flag being lowered perfectly into position, as if the entire scene had been frozen until the flag was in place for that ideal photograph?
Remember when Democrats pressured Al Franken to resign over sexual misconduct allegations, without giving him a chance to defend himself. Now, they’re doing the same with Eric Swalwell. Meanwhile, Republicans worship a serial sexual predator who raped & beat a 13-year-old girl.
