June 1, 1933: The "Fund of German Trade and Industry" is created, a huge slush fund administered by Martin Bormann in the Führer's name. The regime used the funds to compensate SA Stormtroopers who committed street violence, subsize the SS, and enrich Nazi party officials.
Hegseth: “Europa necesita el estrecho de Ormuz más que nosotros. Que se suban a un barco. Esta es su guerra, no la nuestra”.
EEUU empieza una guerra contra Irán. Irán cierra el estrecho de Ormuz. ¿Y de quién es el problema? De Europa.
EEUU incendia, los demás pagan la factura.
REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach?
BLANCHE: Excuse me?
REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct?
BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family.
REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy
Trump has endorsed Ken Paxton for US Senate in Texas.
Paxton was impeached by his own party for bribery and corruption, said the Uvalde school shooting was God’s plan, and gave a child sex abuser only a 60-day jail sentence.
@ByronDonalds He missed some
We don’t do education

We don’t do caring
We don’t do Christianity
Just now, Trump:
—Admitted he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation
—Threatened to send ICE and the National Guard to polling locations
—Called a reporter a "dumb person" for asking why the cost of his ballroom has doubled
—Said disenfranchising Black voters has been "a wonderful process"
PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation?
Rep. Jamie Raskin: I was surprised to hear that because I always thought he was so concerned with how working-class Americans were doing in his wretched economy. I thought he woke up every day wondering how people are going to pay for their groceries and their rent.
The guy has made over a billion since he got into office. He doesn’t view the government as an instrument of wellbeing for the people; he views it as an instrument for private self-enrichment and corruption.
I appreciate the fact that he has a condition that causes him to blurt out the truth on occasion.
Trump on Iran War:
Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?
Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation
Obama: 11, including a guy who fired 25 rifle rounds at the White House.
Biden: 5, including one arrested 4 miles from his house with an AR-15 and a checklist ending "execute."
Harris: 2 federal prosecutions.
Clinton: a pipe bomb intercepted at her home and a militia.
