@WellsJorda89710 CA is following the law of the state. It’s not corruption but few in the US reside in a state with such high population.

@Gianl1974 What would attract a 42 year old to an 18 year old?

@RonDeSantis No, it's the law dummy.

Jan 6: Trump buys Eli Lilly stock. Praises GLP-1s on TV.

Feb 10: Trump buys up to $5M in Dell. Encourages people to “buy Dell.”

March: Trump buys Micron stock. Calls Micron "one of the hottest companies.”

Those are just 3 of the 3,000+ trades Trump made.

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

According to Andrew Weissmann, Blanche using sleight of hand; they’re not killing the deal. Trump still gets $1.776 billion. He still gets a sweeping civil liability shield. They only removed the J6 slush fund piece. Same jackpot. Less scrutiny. Worse than before.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: Donald Trump calls JB Pritzker a “dumb, stupid slob.”

Just a reminder that JB Pritzker just balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.

Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

@bennyjohnson We aren't voting 7 days after Election Day. We have 40 million people in California. Our votes are being COUNTED after Election Day because so many of us use drop boxes and mail in ballots. Stop this insanity.

Every voter should ask themselves why this ok.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

You said nothing.

He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

This is trash. Maybe we should stop electing Representative from strip clubs.

The California claim is false. Scott Wiener’s bill did not “lower penalties for pedophiles.” SB 145 did not legalize sex with minors, did not reduce criminal penalties, and did not protect child rapists. It dealt with sex offender registration discretion in limited cases involving 14 to 17 year olds and defendants within 10 years of age, making the rule the same for oral or anal sex as it already was for vaginal sex. In plain English, a judge already had discretion in a 19 year old boy, 17 year old girl case. The bill extended the same discretion to a 19 year old boy, 17 year old boy case. That is not “protecting pedophiles.” That is removing unequal treatment in the registry law. And this is rich coming from a woman that supports an accused pedophile rapist in the White House.

Also, California does not have normal party nominations for House races. It has a top-two primary system. Wiener advanced to the general election, along with Connie Chan. So even your framing is sloppy.

The New Jersey claim is also doing a lot of dishonest work with the word “ties.” Adam Hamawy did testify in defense of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman decades ago, and that is fair game for scrutiny. But Hamawy was not charged in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, was not convicted of helping it, and is not alleged to have participated in it. He later served as a U.S. Army combat surgeon in Iraq and is credited with helping save Tammy Duckworth’s life. You can criticize his past judgment without pretending he was part of the bombing.

So no, “we are not the same” is not the flex you think it is.

One claim turns an equal-treatment sex offender registry bill into “Democrats love pedophiles.” The other turns courtroom testimony and old associations into “ties to the World Trade Center bombing.”

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

Bless your heart

This reads less like a defense of America and more like a collection of grievances, stereotypes, and myths.

Let’s start with the biggest one: the claim that immigrants are driving crime. Decades of research have repeatedly found that immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, generally commit crimes at lower rates than native-born Americans. A recent Justice Department-funded study found undocumented immigrants were arrested for violent, drug, and property crimes at lower rates than native-born citizens.

The welfare argument isn’t nearly as simple as you’re pretending either. Federal law severely restricts most undocumented immigrants from receiving major federal benefits. At the same time, undocumented immigrants pay billions in federal, state, and local taxes every year.

Then there’s the claim that America was built solely by some “founding stock.” America was built by successive waves of immigrants, Irish, Germans, Italians, Jews, Chinese, Poles, Greeks, and countless others. Every one of those groups was accused of being incompatible, criminal, unassimilable, or a threat to American culture. Every generation seems to recycle the same fear about a different group.

Now, are there cultures around the world that practice things like female genital mutilation, honor violence, or religious extremism? Absolutely. Those practices are wrong. They are also illegal in the United States, and when they occur here, people are prosecuted. The existence of bad practices elsewhere is not evidence that millions of immigrants are bringing them here or replacing American society.

The irony is that the people ( or Bots) writing posts like this often praise the Constitution, individual liberty, religious freedom, due process, and equal protection under the law. Those are American values. Judging millions of people by the actions of a few is the opposite of those values.

You don’t strengthen America by turning every immigrant into a villain, every cultural difference into a threat, and every demographic change into a conspiracy. You strengthen America by defending the principles that made people want to come here in the first place.

@RepJamesComer so Jimmy, I assume you're immediately going to start an investigation into the award to Vulcan of over $600 million Pentagon contract and the relationship to Donald Trump Junior. and the whole thing the fact that an employee said they got a call from the White House to make it happen.

I'll look forward to the investigation and hearings.

According to new reports, Trump's White House personally ordered the Pentagon to give a $620M loan to a company linked to Don Jr.

Stocks for other Don Jr.-advised defense contractors are surging, amid rumors of more DoD deals.

There's more that you should know about. Watch.

@GuntherEagleman And any man convicted in court of sexually abusing a woman should go to prison regardless of his status in life.

I think we should look into a class action lawsuit against Trump and Musk.

[Susan @sed100]

@i_saim1 No if there is a case against Donald Trump.
