The great American state fair crowd was so small the Trump administration canceled the assassination attempt

If you invested $10,000 in Trump coin on January 20th, 2025, it would be worth $415 today.

You lost everything. He made half a billion.

Here’s what makes this so bleak:

In 1976, people flocked to DC for the Bicentennial. A whole week of celebration. It was proud, it was joyous, and it was packed.

Our generation never got that. And most of us will be pushing 90 by the next one.

This was our turn. There was a bipartisan commission, America250, built to give it to us — a celebration that belonged to everyone.

Instead, the administration stood up its own group, Freedom 250, to push the real one aside. They fired the original organizer. They routed tens of millions in taxpayer dollars to the president’s version while the bipartisan one went unfunded. States pulled out because it had become too partisan. The musicians quit, so he turned the concert into a campaign rally about deportations and grievance.

They didn’t celebrate the country. They celebrated themselves.

And you can see the result on the grass. A 250th birthday that should have belonged to all of us, turned into one man’s vanity project.

Empty. And sad.

If the Administration refuses to release body cam footage of the shooting of Alex Pretti, it is reasonable to assume that it shows he was shot by two United States Border Patrol Agents in cold blood while he was being beaten and kicked in the head by 8 agents and that he never drew his weapon, which he was legally authorized to have, but rather it was pulled from his waistband by an agent and Pretti was shot when he was unarmed.

This one is especially pathetic

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

There’s a recurring theme with Trump’s special events. No one hires professionals. There are people who have decades of experience producing state fairs and parades. They could have prevented this sad state fair and the anemic 250 Army parade.

@coachbrucepearl @A1Policy Bruce I never really thought of you as a smart guy, but I had no idea you were this stupid. Kind of incredible.

Vandals have broken into Fox News and released special chemicals that lower Presidential approval.

Trump has something like the Midas touch, but backwards. Everything he touches turns to shit.

Yes, JD. The Epstein cover up you have led from the Situation Room is worse.

Obama on Trump:

If this whoever you were talking about was in front of me — which has happened a couple times — he don't talk like that because he knows better.
