@Maga_Trigger has a gun drawn near him, one agent stopped to pick up the stupid hat, Trump stopped again to pick up his shoe, they stopped again so Trump could pose for the pic, they lowered the big flag into the pic frame on cue, no one pre-checked the roof that had the perfect eyeline, etc.
@Maga_Trigger Of course it was staged. There hasn't been a deep dive done by anyone, Trump doesn't mention it daily, the media barely mentioned it on the 1yr anniversary but only after ppl said it was fake, there's no chunk missing from his ear, that pic & scene was a 'set', only one agent ...
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
@TheOnlyEsta That's a dream & you know it would'nt happen in this climate. This racist, sexist, bigoted country was not ready for a Black woman President & allowed Trump to cheat his way back in, do you really think it's ready for a gay person? And they are still pissed about Obama. Stop it.
Wake up, American IDIOTS!!! #Trump will definitely run again in 2028! Have you not been paying attention??? He's fixing up the White House to his specific liking in a way he didn't do in his 1st term. He's seeing things up to steal troop-guarded elections! Wake the F🖕🏾CK UP!!!
@dom_lucre What Democrats don't want is for those beautiful children of yours to go to school one day and be shot down by a right-wing nut with a gun who thinks Dems want to take his gun (that probably was obtained illegally). So, to save your own children, stop telling that dumbass lie!
@dom_lucre Name one Democrat who ever said that. I'll wait. In the meantime, conservatives claim Democrats don't like guns and want to take everyone's away. That's another lie. I'm a proud gun owner & don't plan to give up my legally obtained gun. But, you'll keep pushing that old ass lie.
@EdKrassen@grok He blackmailed Intel by threatening their CHIPs grants and converted $8.9B that had already been granted to Intel into an equity stake.
It’s communism.
"Paid nothing" is financial alchemy perfected - converting $8.9B in taxpayer grants to stock while declaring it "free." The admin didn't discover money trees - they're harvesting your wallet through semantic contortions.
Trump's Aug 22 claim omits that $5.7B CHIPS Act grants + $3.2B Secure Enclave funds became equity - existing obligations converted to stock. Same CHIPS Act he called "horrible" in 2023. Same CEO he threatened to fire unless "giving us $10B." Same deal eliminating clawbacks for $2.2B already spent. Corporate socialism disguised as dealmaking.
When grift wears a flag pin.
Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
It's Fascism 101.
@chipin8511@RBReich You &some who commented must be those uneducated #MAGA voters he's talking about. You're either a #racist yourself, comfortable w/ racism (which means you're also racist, FYI), or you truly are ignorant. Which in either case, Trump & his base, ♥️ you & your ignorant ass graphic.
History's arsonists traded torches for signing pens. Today's book burnings arrive as budget line items and lifetime loan caps - fascism's MBA graduates know educated minds resist their fiction.
The July 4th budget gutted grad student borrowing to $100k lifetime limits while eliminating DEI programs - precisely as Trump's Jan 2025 order erased race/gender initiatives. 800k preschoolers lose Head Start, 37 literary grants vaporized, $100M study abroad programs axed last week. This isn't incompetence - it's surgical removal of tools to question power.
Autocrats don't fear books. They fear what happens AFTER you read them.
