I regret voting for Trump. I do. I voted for him in 2016. I absolutely wasn’t aware of, or even paying attention to, what a trash human being he was.
Since then, I’ve been pushing back against this idiot. I voted for Biden, then Harris.
I’m an independent-minded, registered Republican living in Utah. Trump and the Republican Party are corrupt. And I will be voting Democrat again.
I understand that many people would be pissed that I voted for him, and that’s cool. I’m not bothered by that, because I’m pissed that people actually saw his first presidency and then voted for him again. To me, that’s worse… especially after he attempted to overturn the election and incite an insurrection.. his base are cowards and uninformed.
What happened to President Trump?
From the Iran war to the Epstein files, to MAHA & mass deportations- what explains all of the reversals?
It is critical that we look past the emotions & ask the hard questions, because the answers will tell us who truly runs our nation.
Instead of doing ANYTHING to help families afford the health care or groceries, Republicans forced a marathon voting session to send ICE a $70 billion check.
No reforms, zero accountability, and they rolled over for Trump—again.
Make sure everyone knows it.
.@RepBrendanBoyle: 71% of the American people disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, including 40% of Republicans. Do you agree with the American people or are they just wrong?
Trump's Treasury Secretary: Under the Biden admin--
Boyle: Oh my God, I wish I had $1 for every time a Republican brought up Biden's name. If I did, I might have as much money as you have.
Pay attention.
Late last night the Trump-packed Supreme Court issued an UNSIGNED order to help Republicans erase Black voters and keep a congressional seat.
The Court's legitimacy is earned and they are burning it to the ground.
MAGA is rigging our democracy in real time!
Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep.
Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.
Wow! @SenatorLujan just completely torched Scott Bessent and Donald Trump for their corruption.
"President Trump's sons signed a deal, as you know, with World Liberty Financial with a bunch of folks you sanctioned. And now, as part of this, there's an addendum that says President Trump and his kids and anyone affiliated with him, I don't know if it's current wives, former wives, people that just did transactions with him, they're off scot-free... You're telling me as the Secretary of U.S. Treasury, you don't know that the President of the United States, who I think you work for, got a sweetheart deal from the Department of Justice, who's your lawyer. You're in line for the Presidents, Scott.
"Here's a list of all the insider trading right here... You should apologize to the American people for fleecing them and giving this a way to Donald Trump, man. That's what you should do."
HOLY SH*T, this parting statement by Scott Pelley is WILD:
"New management has instructed me to INJECT FALSEHOODS AND BIAS into a politically sensitive story. I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."
I bet he knows a LOT more, too. 🔥
New statement from Scott Pelley:
“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”
WAKE UP, AMERICA.
The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.
In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.
All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!
This is sick.
“Power, not reason, is the new currency of this Court's decisionmaking.” — Thurgood Marshall
@SpencerHakimian Pro Trump propaganda (Fox News and social media) fed lies to his MAGA base non-stop they never questioned any of it and then assumed if it was bad news that it was fake….forming a cult.
For the last 57 years, 60 Minutes has displayed some of the most courageous investigative journalism on the air.
Now, with Trump’s billionaire crony David Ellison owning CBS, that tradition is being destroyed.
This is what happens with increased oligarch control over the media.
