Fun fact: Every government shutdown in the last 30 years occurred when Republicans had control of the House of Representatives.
Last time it happened, it drove people to food pantries and forced an $8b hit to the economy. They treat people missing paychecks like it’s no big deal
Breaking: It turns out that Hunter Biden was secretly running a business for Joe while Joe Biden was in office. The business made $160 million in deals during his time in office, and Joe Biden is set to get the entirety of the business when he leaves office.
Whoops never-mind. That was the Trump Organization which Donald Trump put in a trust that he essentially had complete control over and that Don Jr. and Eric officially ran during his presidency. The business brought in millions of dollars including via hotel rentals from foreign governments that likely looked to get favors from Trump. Trump Organization was then convicted of fraud and forced to shut down.
Additionally Ivanka and Jared Kushner got a $1.2 billion lease on a NY City property from a company that was majority owned by Qatar, just as Trump was supporting a middle east blockade against Qatar. Suddenly after the lease went through, Trump stopped supporting the blockade.
Then while in office, Ivanka Trump got trademarks granted to her while Donald supported a ZTE deal that benefitted China. On the very date Trump and Ivanka dined at Mar-a-Lago with the Chinese President, China awarded her 3 preliminary trademark approvals, all while Trump was President and Ivanka worked in the White House.
Then after 4 years of pro-Saudi policies, and a surprising arms deal, Trump and Kushner both signed business deals worth billions of dollars with the Saudis after leaving office.
Then, during Trump's presidency Don Jr.'s personal business parter Gentry Beach, who was doing business overseas, got access to meet with top national security officials in the Trump administration during Trump's presidency. The NSC officials were directed by the Trump White House to take the meeting because Beach and the businessman were friends of Trump Jr.
But tell me again how Joe Biden had friendly personal phone calls with Hunter Biden's business partners.
Reminded again today that:
1. 62 wealthiest people on earth have more money than the bottom half of the human population combined (3.5 billion)
2. Most Christians are too busy with the moral panic du jour to do anything about this. Many are impressed by it.
Mammon at work.
Oh I don’t know Jesse, maybe it has to do with the fact that he’s a fraud and a grifter who funded “Sound of Freedom” through a guy named Fabian Marta who runs grooms women and girls into “sugaring.”
Maybe because the final edit was done by antisemitic abuser Mel Gibson?
Could be because Tim Ballard went on Fox News to spread Wayfair conspiracy theories about trafficking children in furniture?
Or, maybe because Tim Ballard says the “woke left” and the “LGBT agenda” has the same “doctrine” as the “pedophile network” he allegedly exposes?
How about because he says it’s not the Russians abducting Ukrainian children, it’s Poland? What if he’s doing a documentary about that lie being funded by Erik Prince’s business partner and accused sexual predator Tony Robbins?
Or, maybe because every REAL group combating human trafficking says Tim Ballard’s group Operation Underground Railroad doesn’t help the problem it hurts it?
Or I suppose, it could be because everyone who criticizes this fraud is a “pedo.”
YOU decide, @JesseBWatters.
Fraudulent grifter Tim Ballard—whose false story about his heroic child trafficking escapades is the subject of “Sound of Freedom”—reveals his true purpose.
He says next he is doing a four-part docuseries about Ukrainian child trafficking, but not by Russia. 🚨
Tony Robbins, accused sexual predator & self-help fraud “executive produced” it. Tony Robbins has also been in business with international terrorist Erik Prince for years now, including in a fraudulent vaccine company.
Why would they be ignoring the problem of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children trafficked into Russia and instead focus on the lies of infamous grifters? It’s a mystery.
Note Tim Ballard says abusive antisemite Mel Gibson did the “final edit” on “Sound of Freedom” and helped Ballard raise the money from it.

This has been the GOP's plan all along:
1) Pass massive tax cuts for the rich.
2) Claim the cuts will pay for themselves, dismissing concerns about the deficit.
3) Use the massive hole they've blown in the budget to justify deep cuts to programs that millions rely on.
The same Republicans who are now crying about the deficit are the same people who voted for ~$2T in tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
Don't be fooled.
The deficit is a political tool used by Republicans to block programs that benefit millions of Americans.
Remember: One of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are GOP tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.
