Norway's Prime Minister rips apart Trump's stupid letter. Love this!
Every leader that receives a letter like this from DJT should do the same.
Thanks for your attention to this matter! BRILLIANT!
@LIBERATE__TRUTH@realTuckFrumper@Chappyx06 MAGA, this is what you voted for. Happy? You think you are somehow exempt bc you’re a loyalist to trump? Think harder. Oh, sorry, don’t hurt your brains.
I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
@LauraN1826866@OccupyDemocrats Unfortunately the “justice system” (DOJ) is under trump’s thumb, and as we’ve seen since he’s been back in office, he makes up his own laws. No one has ever tried to do anything to stop him. Who’s going to set up and enforce the laws he’s broken?
@sarahtexe He ran on the promise of “no new wars, he’d end inflation, slash energy bills, cut the cost of new homes in 1/2, reducing groceries…” do you see any of that happening? The t-shirt says it all and should be worn everywhere.
BREAKING: WE LOVE IT! Pope Leo beautifully trolls MAGA racists by celebrating America's 250th birthday with a heartfelt celebration of immigrants.
Just when you thought you couldn't possibly like him even more...
"I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence," stated the first American Pope. "This semiquincentennial marks that defining moment in the history of the United States of America, July 4, 1776, that gave enduring voice to the ideals of liberty, equality, the pursuit of happiness, justice and democratic self-government."
Tragically, those ideals are under constant assault from Donald Trump, a President who has marked this Pope as one of his primary antagonists on the world stage. Leo has dared to criticize Trump's brutal treatment of migrants as well as his illegal war against Iran. Trump has attacked him, but clearly Leo remains unbowed.
"For two and a half centuries, generations of Americans have worked together to carry these principles forward — through sacrifice, service, innovation and civic participation," the Pope continued. "This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today."
He went on to celebrate America's tradition of religious freedom, another principle that's under attack from a MAGA movement that wants to install a fascist Evangelical theocracy. But it was the section on immigrants that really has Republicans incensed—
"Defending human life also includes welcoming, protecting and assisting immigrants, whose hopes, sacrifices and contribution have formed part of the history of this country from its very beginning," said Leo. "In every generation, those who have arrived seeking freedom, opportunity and a place to belong have helped to shape the nation’s character. To receive them with compassion and generosity is not only an act of charity, but also a recognition of the dignity that belongs to every human person."
Contrast this patriotic message of inclusion with the hateful vitriol that constantly spews forth from the White House. Conservatives have been raging all week over the Supreme Court's decision to uphold birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, Trump will deliver a Fourth of July speech that will be partisan, self-aggrandizing, bigoted, and completely divorced from the eternal ideals that guided this nation's Founders.
As far as American leadership goes, Pope Leo puts Donald Trump to shame every single time.
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Leo!
BREAKING: LOL! Hunter Biden hilariously trolls Trump with a fake Nobel Peace Prize nomination — and his reasons have MAGA screeching with rage.
This is an absolute bullseye...
"I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize," Hunter wrote on X. "No President in History has ended the same war so many times. Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
"No President has ever done this before," he added. "And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
The joke, of course, is that Trump has repeatedly promised that a lasting peace with Iran is within reach, only for the negotiations to once again break down and the bombing to resume. There's also the added absurdity of nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for ending a pointless war of aggression that he launched on Israel's behalf.
You don't get credit for solving a problem that you yourself created!
The simple truth is that Donald Trump is the most warmongering President in modern American history. He slaughtered countless innocent men, women, and children overseas and accomplished nothing in the process. Awarding him a Nobel Peace Prize would delegitimize the prize for all time.
Republicans on social media are predictably incensed over Hunter's joke, with many MAGA accounts responding to his post with personal insults as well as attacks on his father.
That's how you know he hit the mark.
Trump's obsession with the prize is well documented. He aggressively lobbied for one in vain and hates that Barack Obama won the prize. For a racist like Trump, the idea that a Black man could exceed him in so many tangible ways is unthinkable. He deserves to be trolled relentlessly!
Please ❤️ and share if you're a fan of Hunter!
BREAKING: Jack Smith breaks his silence with his first interview since resigning — and says that "we are facing an attack on the rule of law" under Trump.
And he was just getting started...
"Well, you know, I was a career prosecutor," the former Special Counsel told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace. "I worked in the Justice Department and other prosecutors offices for near on 30 years. And I don't know if your viewers know this but I worked in Republican and Democratic administrations over and over."
"I was the acting U.S. Attorney in the first Trump administration in Nashville, Tennessee," he explained. "And that administration appointed me to a position running a war crimes tribunal for the State Department. So I have investigated cases focusing on the facts and the law throughout my career. We did this case the same way under the same standards."
Smith has every right to defend himself on this front. His investigations into Trump's rampant criminality were conducted fairly, impartially, and professionally. For his troubles, he found himself relentlessly attacked by our crooked President until he became Public Enemy #1 for a large, deranged swath of the country. This interview represents a small step towards reclaiming his legacy from the smears.
Smith ultimately brought charges against Trump for interfering in the 2020 election and for smuggling classified documents down to Mar-a-Lago, but they were dismissed to the outrage of many after Trump won the election.
"And you know the thing that I think important for your viewers to know is those standards are not meant to change from one administration to the next," Smith continued. "And in my experience until now they haven't. And so, you know, I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime."
"And one of the reasons I wanted to be with you here today in advance of the 4th of July celebrating the birth of a country that we all love is to celebrate the public servants who do this work, the people I spent my career working shoulder-to-shoulder with," said Smith.
"I loved being a prosecutor and part of it was I loved being around these sort of people," he went on. "And it angers me to see them victimized, to see them demonized for doing their jobs. I think it's really important that we stand up for them and let them know that there are a lot of people out there who back them and who are with them.
"And that's not just the people who've been targeted and fired for no reason for doing their jobs," said Smith. "It's also the people still in the Justice Department today. There are a lot of good career prosecutors who right now are working under incredibly difficult circumstances and they're still trying to do the right thing. And these are not self-promoters, these are not people who are going to go out and you know crow about their achievements. We need to hold them up and celebrate them because they're part of what makes this country great."
It cannot be stressed enough just how much damage Trump has inflicted on our justice system. He's proven that some people are simply above the law in this country, that Presidents can commit crimes with impunity so long as their party controls Congress. He weaponized the entire Justice Department to target his political enemies to such an extent that its credibility may never recover.
Now, more than ever, we need people like Jack Smith to stand up and speak the truth, consequences and retribution be damned.
Please ❤️ and share if you're grateful to Jack Smith for his service!
